When BUYING Ruas.

When buying rugs remember that a
dark rug shows dust and lint, and
green fades. Usually the best rugs
have small patterns, whereas cheap
fabrics have big, bold designs. Tan
shades wear we'll and some reds are
lasting. Blue rugs are suitable for
bedrooms and red, brown and mixed
colors for halls.

Childish Wrona-poLnq.

A child should never be regarded as
a criminal, but as victim of crime.
No child can create his own environ

be lust about as sensible to whip a
child for having diphtheria or ty-
phoid.

The presence of good manners is
nowhere more needed or effective than
in the household, and perhaps nowhere
more rare. Whenever the familiarity
exists there is a tendency to loosen
the check upon selfish conduct which
the presence VI strangers involuntarily
produces. Many persons who are kind
and courteous in company, are rude
and careless with those whom they
love best, Emerson says: Good man
ners are made up of petty sacrifices, "
and certainly nothing can more thor
oughly secure the harmony and peace
of the family circle than the habit OF
making small sacrifices for one an.
other. Children thus learn good man
ners in the best and most natural way,
and habits thus acquired will never
leave them. Courtesy and kindness
will never lose their power or their
charm, while all spurious limitations Of
them are to be despised.

Christmas stimulates The most
beautiful of all the graces that live in
the hearts of men. To give, to give
something that expresses your know
ledge of another, your love of another,
is a graceful and inspiring thing to do.
To give what expresses money alone,
something purchased without affection,
is to degrade the giver and to insult
the spirit of Christmas. But no child's
gift was ever presented in this spirit.
They give because they love and be-
cause they wish to express their love
10 concrete form.

A boy at fifteen years of age, is, in
our opinion, at the most important
period of his life. He is at the forks
Of the road. What he needs more than
anything else is sympathy and advice.
1t would be strange, indeed, II boys did
not build castles in Spain at that age,
and what they need is the practica
suggestion Of some one who is himself
success in life, to guide them. Most
people think that boys do not need
either sympathy or advice. 1t is a
great mistake. They need it as much
as girls. We have never known one of
them to refuse to take advice IL it were
rendered at the right time, in the right
place and in the right spirit. The
mistake that most people make in talk
ing TO boys is that they lecture them in
season and out, prosecute them with
all sorts of foolish suggestions, and ex-
pect more from them than they would
from man. Ii We had any word OF
counsel to give it would be: Don't
lecture boy. Don't nag him. Don't
persecute him If he has done wrong.
Don't laugh at him Il We has failed,
perhaps in some over-ambitious boy
lsh schemes. Don't crush him. Don't
break his spirit. Give the boy a
chance. Show him his mistake, and
then show him what he should do.
When you crush boys spirit you have
ruined the boy-in all probability he
will blossom into first class dude.

How few OF us reveal the love we
feel for our own. Our relations with
those who are dearest are so intimate
that it seems unnecessary to express
in words the depth of our affection.
But there is no man or woman who
does not feel happier when the words
81 love you" fall from lips OF the best
beloved. The sharing OF daily trou-
bles and annoyances, butchers bills,
the state OF the coal bin, the repairs
on the barn, worries with turkeys,
chickens, sewing and all the innum.
cradle things that father and mother
must discuss together, leave little time
for the loving words that constituted
the charm OF courtship and the honey
moon. We must take so much 10
granted that 1t is well TO have birth
days and Christmas set apart rs days
when we shall express in many delight
tul ways our love for our own.
Cur yfts should be useful to those
Who are In need, beautiful without
reference TO utility TO those whose
wants are well supplied. They should
be purchased with the thought OF CIV
ing pleasure. To the hungry man
nothing is pleasauter than food, TO the
girl with the shabby clothes nothing
is more desired than new gown. The
scholar loves books; Blue Eyes longs
for a baby doll; Tom wants bicycle.
We should offer to each something
that is associated with his character,
and so what is doubly acceptable as q
proof OF the thoughtfulness and the
! love OF the giver.

SAY OUTLOOK IS DARK
Austrian Papers Realize Teutonic
Cause Is in Danger.
Assert Germany Seeks Decision Before
Weight of United States Can
Be Felt.

Washington, July 22.-Austrian
newspapers admit that the outlook for
the Teuton empires is dark, and de-
clare that Germany is Striving for a
decision before the weight of the
United States can be felt"
THE Americans are Transforming
the situation" declares the Vienna
Arbeiter Zeitung Late reports agree
that there is no longer doubt, but that
America has million men In France.
The political as well as the military
situation is changed by this.
"The participates of Americans in
the struggle increases to a gigantic
extent the intensity of the efforts
which Germany must make. Germany
Is finding herself confronted with
three nations whose population is
three times her own, whose talent for
organization and economic forces are
equal to the organization and eco
nomical power of Germany.
Though the Germans are maintain
ing their positions there is limit to
human endurance and It can be easily
understood why the supreme com.
mand of Germany is striving for a
final decision this year
1T is now a question of securing
this before the weight of the United
States can be thrown on the balance
Of the Allies"

Big DRIVE LATER ON
Allies Are Preparing to Attack
on Large Scale.
Seventeen Thousand Prisoners and
$50 Guns Have Been Taken in
Present Battle.

Washington, July 22.-General
March, chief of staff, indicated to the
house military committee that war de-
partment officials foresee the real
counter offensive against the Germans
later in the present year.
General March declared the en-
ployment of possibly eight American
divisions in the present double bat
tie on the Aisne-Marne-Rheim front
would not materially affect plans to
hurl overwhelming manpower into the
great drive later against the enemy.
1t was made plain the smashing at
tack of Franco-American forces on the
Aisne-Marne line is regarded only as a
minor operation in comparison to
what is to come.
The success of the drive launched
by General Foch has already been
startling. Official reports from Paris
said 1900 prisoners and $50 guns
had been captured. The Berlin state
ments admitted French advances but
ignored American participation, and
claimed 10000 prisoners had beer
taken by the Germans in their drive
launched last Monday. Apparently the
enemy commanders dare not admit tC
the German people that American
armies are already fighting over &
long front and scoring repeated sue
cesses over veteran German divisions

Cruiser San Diego May Have
Been Torpeodoed or Hit

DETAILS ARE LACKING.
Navy Department Announces That
There Appears to Have Been No
Loss of Life-German U-Boats

Washington, July 22.-Beiief
that the cruiser San Diego was
sunk by torpedo 10 expressed In
of cruiser forces to the navy de-
partment.
The last information made pub
lie was an announcement that II
1856 officers and men had been
landed from the vessel, In addi-
tion to 80 previously reported.
Washington, July 22.--The United
States armored cruiser San Diego
has been sunk off the Long Island
coast. This announcement by the
Navy department may indicate Ger
man submarines are again operating
in American waters.
The cause of the vessels destruc-
ton is unknown.
The vessel was not regarded as q
serious military loss. IL she was .
victim of enemy submarines, 1t Is
obvious the U-boats are in the trans
port lanes and close to the entrance of
New York harbor, for the San Diego
went down 10 miles southeast of Fire
Island.
May Have Been Sunk by Mine.
Until the statements of survivors
sunk by torpedo, there will be a
possibility that she struck drifting
mine or was sent down by accidental
internal explosion or otherwise.
The only formal statement issued
by the department was based on first
report II follows:
"The Navy department has received
reports from the Third Naval dis
trict stating that the u. s. s. San
Diego was sunk 10 miles southeast OF
Fire Island light. One officer and two

The Navy department would add
nothing to this statement and officer.

to the cause of the loss or the number
of survivors. 1t was apparent officials

Throw Large Reinforcements In
to Battle in Hope of Turn.
ing the Tide.
ALLIES PUSH FORWARD
French and American Troops Fight
Way Further East Into Triangle
Formed by Scissors, Rheims
and Chateau Thierry.

London, July 22-The German
have thrown large reinforcements into
the new battle line between Scissors
and the region of Chateau Thierry,
but nowhere thus far have they been
able to stem the tide of the onslaughts
the French and American troops are
making against them.
The Americans and French battered
their way further eastward into the
deep triangular salient which has
Scissors, Rheims and Chateau Thierry
as its points and successfully with
stand terrific counter attack by the
Germans on the plateau southwest Of
Scissors, where the Allied guns domi-
nate this important strategic town.
The gains were carried to their
greatest depth in the center of the
25-mile line and on the southern flank
northwest of Chateau Thierry where
the Americans are holding forth.
Artillery Does Notable Work.
The fighting was particularly violent
around Scissors and in the region of
Chaudun, where the Germans sent In
large forces of reserves in an endea-
vor to push back the Allied troops.
Here the American artillery did no.
table work, killing or wounding many
of the enemy and aiding greatly in
staying off the Germans.
Where the Americans are fighting
northwest of Chateau Thierry the
German line was driven In upon the
plateau northwest of Bonnes and to
the height to the north of Courchamps
the former position representing a
gain of three and a half miles from
the point of original departure at
Torcy. While it is not possible as yet
geographically to limit with exacti-
tude the gains made in the two days
fighting along the front by the French
and Americans, it is known that at it's
deepest point the penetration has
reached approximately seven miles
and that over the entire 25 miles 1t
ranges down to about two miles.
Take More Than 1900 Prisoners.
! In addition to the infliction of ex-
tremely heavy casualties on the enemy
the French and American troops up
to the present have taken more than
1900 prisoners, including two col
onels with their chiefs of staff, and In
excess of $50 cannon.
The offensive on the entire front in
France seems now definitely to have
shifted from the hands of the Ger
mans to those of the Allies East and
west of Rheims, where the Germans
last Monday started battle along a
65-mile front, from Chateau Thierry to
eastern Champagne, the enemy is now
on the defense on most of the sectors
where there is any fighting. Friday
saw the Germans lose additional
ground along the Marne to the French
and Italian troops. East of Rheims
the Germans have not seen fit to re.
sumo the fighting.

baseball was held a nonessential oc-
cupation under the army work-orfight
order by Secretary Baker
Il have decided that the work-or-
tight regulations include baseball" !"
said Mr.. Baker in announcing his de-
cision.
In brief the secretary held that
with many players beyond draft age it
is by no means certain that complete
disorganization Of the baseball bust
ness will follow, that baseball players
are men Of unusual physical ability
and alertness, able to adequately pro-
vide for their families in productive
occupations and that the employment
of ablebodied persons in nonproduc-
tive work cannot be justified on the
ground of the social value of the ma.
tional game.

Franco-American Forces Con-
tinue Steady Pounding of
Enemy Near scissors.
BRITISH ADVANCE LINE
Foe Rallyine Forces to Meet Move
ment Indicates Battle Is Approach
ina Point When Armies Will Be
Locked in Giant Struggle.

Paris, July 22.z-French and Amer
ican troops are continuing their ad-
vance between the Aisne and the
Marne, according to an official state
ment issued by the war office. South
of the Marne the French have thrown
back the enemy between Fossoy and
Oeuilly and have retaken ground to-
wards the Marne.
The Allied advance has reached the
line of vierzy, beyond the wood of
Mauloy, east of Villers Helon and
Neuilly st. Front.
The Franco-American forces are
continuing the steady pounding of the
northern part of the line near Sois-
sons. although the movement is lack.
ing the dashing advance which char
acterized the first days of the attack
The attempts of the crown princes
generals to rally their forces to meet
the steady movement of the Allies has
resulted in such strengthening of the
opposition as to indicate that the bat
armies will soon be locked in a giant
struggle.
Both on the northern end of the line
and further south he REINFORCED Ger
mans are making a desperate effort
to hold their positions.
Resistance Increases.
Steady progress against increased
enemy resistance, resulting in fighting
of the fiercest nature, attends further
attacks by French and American
forces on the front between the Aisne
and the Marine.
+ Around scissors, on the north, the
German defense is stiffening and the
forward movement apparently is much
slower than at first, when the big
gest gains of the drive were made
there. In the center and on the south
however, the Allied line has been ad
vanced about two miles, making the
average further progress about one
and a quarter miles.
Scissors still holds out although 4
is believed its fall is certain.
Take 1900 Prisoners.
Officially II is declared the Franco
American troops have captured in ex
cess of 1900 prisoners and more thar
$50 guns. Unofficial reports in Pari
are to the effect that the captures
are much in excess of the official esti
mate. Much material, not yet enum
Grated and many hundreds OF machin
guns also have been taken.
Foe Admits Being Pushed Back.
Berlin, apparently believing that tn
Allied offensive is in great strength
tells OF the repulse of the efforts Il
break through. Although denying tha
the Allies broke through, it admit
that the German lines have beel
driven back, and that 1t was necessar
to throw in large reserves to keep tn
Allies from making large hole Il
