LEAVE MANY DEATH TRAPS.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 8.
American engineers, in addition to
their work of reconstructing bridges
and roads, have had the task Of re-
moving umerou mines. As hap
pened north Of the Marine, many posi-
tions abandoned by the Germans had
been deliberately equipped with mines
but as also was the case north, of the
Marine, almost every mine was
sprung by the engineers, who traced
the wires to a trap left near by.
There was a formidable outlay Of
mines in the town Of Vanquois. which
had been used as a German head
quarters.
Below the level Of the town there
were hundreds of yards Of subterra.
mean passages which have been turned
into comfortable, even luxurious
quarters.
information reaching American
headquarters continues TO indicate
confusion behind the German lines
not in the way of traffic conditions
but in organization. 1t is known tht
enemy is using units as small a!
platoons to r~e-enforce those in thu

Your Unknown Face.

From the Youths Companion.
No doubt you would readily recog-
nize your features, if you met them in
the street. You see them in the glass
daily and many times a day, and
probably you think you study them
with peculiar care. But that is just
the point. Whenever you see them,
you are studying them. The express
sion is conscious, artificial-the ex-
preston of a person who is being
watched and studied. You know what
the photographer "look pleasant
produces. You know how you feel
and can imagine how you look when
you are aware that someone is OBJ
serving you.
Think Of the expressions you catch
on others faces when they are com
pletely unconscious, not giving a
thought to how they look. Some faces
are sweet, kindly, sympathetic, de-
lightful. Some faces again, often tbC
same faces, are sad, anxious, dreaIy
others still are harsh, bitter, angr,
or selfish. Remember that all thost
expressions are likely to come OF
your face, too. When you look in tn
glass, you do not find them there
Your mere curiosity grasses them a
a wet sponge erases figures on
slate. But they come just the same.
Remember how you love TO watcI
the kindly look in others and how yol
shrink and turn away from the ugl.
and the hateful. Perhaps the mem
Org and the consciousness will hel.
you to control the uncomely expires
sions that aren't easily eontrolable an
are in any ease an unfailing index 0
the feelings that produce them, per
haps you will set more busily abou
the task Of depressing and subduin.
feelings that make faces look as 20
wish that they should not.
The great secretary Of war, EdwI
NJ. Stanton, once refused to be intro
duced to a man because he did no
like the mans face. "But," urged
friend, "he is not responsible for nj
face. Every mar owe 40 years ol
is responsible for his face" answere
the secretary.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE SOLDIERS.

DO You want 20 sand . Christmas
present to some soldier in France or
elsewhere across the seas? If so
there is only way TO do it. The
rule against accepting packages for
soldiers n foreign service has not
been waived You can not send a
package in the ordinary way Each
soldier is to be permitted to receive
Just u package and no more, and
that package must be a small one,
tanned in a box nine inches long, four
wide and three high. A box may be
procured from the Red Gross. 1t can
only be mailed when it bears the Of
fetal Christmas label. Each soldier
in France has been or viii he given
one Of these labels. He can send it to
any person he may choose. Most Of
them will send to their OWN homes.
Therefore, II you want to send a pres
cnt that will not go astray in an or
binary letter, you must find who it u
who has this official label and ar.
range with that person for some Of
the space in the box.
