Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board said at dinner party:
The German government keeps on
declaring that victory Is almost in
sight, and meanwhile country after
country breaks into it.
The German people, hearing gov
eminent boasts on the one hand and
the war declarations Of the whole
wide world on the other. must feel
sadly bewildered. Yes. the German
people must feel a good deal like the
lady who said on her return from the
shore:

The story is told Of two travelling
salesmen, detained In little village

One Hundred Per Cent War Gardens

The percentage of school children having war
gardens in 1917 in Richmond was 9l.5, according
to data compiled by Garden Supervisor Murphy
and accessible in the office of Superintendent
Giles to any doubling Thomas who questions the
accuracy of the statement.
This year Supervisor Murphy intends to have
a 100 per cent record. The work in 1917 was
started late and Supervisor Murphy was not in
Richmond early enough to put his system into
operation. This year he has an early start, and
it seems certain that he will attain the perfec-
ton mark.
The support given the war garden plan of
Supervisor Murphy by the school children and
their parents speaks well for their patriotism and
proves that the supervisors system is based on a
sound principle.

Manv a man who is not OF military age mas
wondered what he could do to help his country
win the war. The problem is a vexing one
Every patriot is anxious to do his bit, and yet
the course to pursue in attaining that end is I'M
charted. All of us cannot rush to the colors, be-
cause in the very nature of the great conflict the
work of seven men at home is needed to keep one
soldier in efficient preparation at the front
Dr. Robert A. Alley, president of the Univers-
itv of Maine pondered over the problem. Final
" he arrived at nine propositions which in his es-
timation set out the full duty of non-combatant.
They follow:
/. I will keep myself so we'll informed
on the causes and progress Of the world
war that may be a source of information
and influence to others
2. appreciate so thoroughly the dan
ger of internal enemies that will report
to the proper authorities the names and To-
cation of every native or alien citizen
whose conduct or utterances indicate en-
nifty to our country or lack of sympathy
with our allies.
g. I will do all in my power to encour-
age increased production Of food materials,
both animal and vegetable.
a. will cheerfully change my habits
of eating so as to help conserve "neat'
meat animal fats, dairy products and sug-
ar.
5. will assist in every possible way
to make all Liberty loans success.
g. will practice economy and deny
myself luxuries so that | may contribute
large sums to the various necessary war
philanthropies.
7. l will help to stabilize public opinion
bv showing the reasonableness and neces-
sitv of the governments demands and the
baselessness of the unfounded rumors re-
lating to the war.
8. | will be friend and comforter to
the families of soldiers and minister to
their needs in every way possible
9. I will try to meet all the varied
events of the war with patience, calmness
and optimism.
Let every non-combatant in Richmond follow
these precepts and he may rest assured that ne
is doing his full duty citizen and patriot. The
nine propositions should be kept before us con-
stantly.
Clip them and keep them in your pocket for
daily reference.

Sir Harry Johnston, in the Evening
News.
There is no parallel, y he says, "in
the German army to the woman's S

women in the German empire are
not trusted; they are relegated to
home tasks. They are not fighting
with the men at the front, as ours
are. The German military COM

LONDON, July 25.-British and
French troops have advanced to
Gueux and Mery-Premecy in the
battle sector just west of Rheims,
according to information received
here this afternoon from the battle
front.
The new ling shows an advance of
about two miles toward Fismes.
This gain is of evident Importance.
for it greatly narrows the salient
created by the Germans in their
drive of last May.
1t no longer is proper to speak of
the pocket as running from Sois-
sons to Rheims The newest ad-
vantage of the Entente Allies has
pulled the eastern edge of the
pocket eight miles to the westward,
making Mery-Premecy the marker
for the eastern rim.
The mouth of the pocket is only
twenty-one miles wide, and the
whole district between the two sides
is under the range of Entente Allied
guns.
