Influence on Children.

AS for moral influences In the home,
1t is the words the child hears US
speak. the things he sees us do which
will have the greatest effect on his ma
ture, such as respectful care and ten
der affection toward the grandmother,
the grandfather, the aunt. the uncles,
our attitude toward those In our en-
plOy, etc. Family festivals will make
ever glorious impressions on the
childs mind, states a student of hu.
man nature. l5sssss-..
The spirit of charity should per-
meate the home. The little child is
too young to know how to help the
less fortunate, but he will imbibe the
home spirit and with his growing un-
derstanding adopt the ideals by which
he is surrounded. --.-
Above all other influences the most
telling Is that which the parents ere
ate by means of their relationship to
each other. If peace reigns supreme
and father and mother live as one,
having deep, true, earnest affection
for each other, facing together the
joys and sorrows, and supplementing
each others strength at every turn.
there is no greater legacy parents can
leave their children than the infiu-
ence and memory of such a home.

.CAM0UFLAGE PLANES

Make Sudden Attack But
Yanls Planes Are Not
Caught Asleep.

Paris, Aug. s (By Mail) 1t was
the noon mess hour. Several miles
behind the lines sentinels leaned idly
on their rifles while overhead three
captive balloons floated lazily in the
air. Suddenly there was a burst of
+ fire from across the way and three
aeroplanes came scudding over the
German lines, their course literally
interlarded with bursts of shrapnel
The Americans came tumbling out
of the mess rooms and billets 10 see

made straight for u. S. territory.

rect for the three captive balloons.
Darling at them there were three
simultaneous flashes from machine
guns, and bursts of explosive bullets
hit the balloons.
Despite the suddenness of the
whole thing the American pilots
were not caught mapping Within
thirty seconds three parachutes had

FLASHLIGHTS.

The best preparation for a hard
days work is a good nights sleep.
Usually it has taken a man twenty
five years to get rich over night.
He's mighty poor sport who won't
play the game according to the rules.
Hard luck seems to follow some
people because it knows they won't
make such an effort to get away.
Some fellows are such sticklers for
details that they even pay attention
when the secretary is reading the
minutes of the previous meeting.
Mighty few people believe what a
man tells about himself. That is the
reason the courts insist upon the tes-
timony of character witnesses.
Nothing much that is wrong can
happen to a man who thinks he has
married the prettiest girl in the
world, so long as he keeps on think
ing it.-Detroit Free Press.

Men inexperienced in road work
will most likely lose money taking
road contracts, besides making 1t
doubly hard on engineers to get a
good job.
1t makes no difference how little
some men actually know about road
work they are ready and eager to
criticise and make foolish sugges-
tions.
Men should be careful to know
that they are correct before speaking
and writing about roads, else the
ruit of their efforts may not be worth
gathering.
1t is easy to find men who know
all about road work, yet it is true
that not a single county or state has
yet solved the problem.
Is il necessary for us to be ten
years behind other states in road
work in Kentucky?
How can you build roads without
money?

U. S. UNIT is
EQUIPPED FOR
INSTANT ACTION

With the American ARMY in
France. April 3.-(By The Associated
Press While the activity among
the American cXpeditionary forces for
movement toward the battle line con-
tinues, one of the units which will go
to Picardy came to a temporary halt
today to complete preparations for
battle. New equipment was issued TO
the men. and their rifles and machine
guns were put in first class condi-
ton. 1t was made sure that every
weapon VAS ready for instant use.
Many Of the men took the oppor-
tunity of the halt to write home, for
it probably Will be the last good
chance they will have to do 80 for
some time. Many Of the men marched
today through miles of tree lined
roads which were just family green
with newly budding spring leaves.
Women and children distributed
flowers 20 the singing and whistlinG
marchers at many points. The Amer
leans stuck their bouquets in the
muZZles of their rifles or in their
hats.

DELAY A PUZZLE
Observers Speculate on
Counter Offensive
Under Accepted Rules Of Strategy
Psychological Moment Has Passed
Plan Of Gen. Foch May Be Of
Greater Scope

Washington, April 3.-With the bat
tie of Picardy brought to a standstlil
for the time being, at least, and the
Initial momentum Of German drive
overcome, military observers here
were puzzled tonight by the fact that
a great counter-assault had not de-
veloped. The psychological moment Of
the counter stroke under the rules Of
strategy they think is passing if it has
rot already passed without a recorded
movement of the allied forces toward
throwing back the exhausted foe be-
fore he has had time to dig himself il.
Officers mere admit, however. that
they do not know what the situation
lat the front is. If any report has come
from Gems. Bliss or Pershing that
would serve to explain the defensil c
| tactics of the Allies. it is . carefully
uarded secret.
1t is possible, it was suggested, that
the plan of campaign mapped out by
Gen. Foch is for far greater scope
than would be involved in an effort
to hurl the enemy back to his old
Lines. The German defenseS there,
which successfully stemmed the
British assault in 1916 are still intact
and even if the allies were successful
! in rushing the German lines back
oyer the 30-mile zone he has wrcsted
from them. they would face those de-
lenses when their own organization
was badly organized by their advance
and their men showing the wear and
tear of prolonged offensive.
For this reason some officers were
Inclined to look elsewhere for the ag-
gressive campaign to which they are
pinning their faith. They have count
ed upon the creation Of an army I'M
der Gen Foch ito produce offensive
operations and they see nothing i'll tho
situation at the present time TO war
rant the conclusion that the allies
have not the necessary reserve forces
or supplieS.t
1t was suggested that the new pur-
pose of employing American troops
to fill out allied fighting divisions,
might have some bearing on the sit
uation. II Gen. Foch is laying his
foundations for continuous opera
tions of an aggressive character he
will need to be certain of his re-
serves and the detailed plans for en-
ployment of American troops will
have to be worked out.
Speeding up of American troop
movements to France is engrossing
attention here. President Wilson
held his weekly conference with the
heads of the war making and produc
ton branches of the government to-
day and il is understood that ways

the Austro- Hungarian foreign minis

an opinion of the President of the
United States and his outlook as a
statesman to believe him capable of
such a way of thinking. President
Wilson is no more able to ascribe
dishonorable action to us than we to
him.
President Wilson does not desire
10 separate Vienna from Berlin ana
he knows, too, that would be impos-
sible. Perhaps President Wilson
saws to himself. however. that Vienna
is more favorable soil for sowing the
seed for a general peace. Perhaps
no saws to himself that the AuStro-
Hungarian monarchy has the good
fortune to possess a ruler who SIN
cerely and honestly desires general
ueace. but who will never committee
breach of faith or conclude a dis
honorable peace and that behind the
EMPEROR King there are f1fty-tve
