Nowhere, according to last accounts from the front, has the enemy been able to stay the progress of their assailants, although counter attacks were resorted to on some important sectors after the first stages of surprise oeeasioned by the unexpected attack had worn away.
 VAST STORES TAKEN
 To the Americans alone in the region west of soissons came 1000 prisoners. 30 guns and much war material Additional large numbers of captiyes and further greater stores of guns, ammunition and other war necessities were taken by the French. Before all the positions of tho Americans and the French their guns and machine guns cut to pieces fleeing hordes of the enemy or bands which en- deavored to withstand the onrush
 The blow, probably long in it's incep- tlon, IS being aimed at territory vital to the Germans-territory the capture of which not alone would mean the forced retirement of the Germans from the en- tire salient extending southeastward across the occupied region from Sois- sons to Rheims, with Chateau Thierrv its southern apex, but possibly would result in the capture of thousands of Germans operating there, many of them comprising the best soldiers of the Ger man Emperor's armies
 So fast has the advance progressed stbat | already French and American troops have reached or are astride several cf the important roads of supply for the German armies in the souths particularly the line running from Soissons to Chateau Thierry. It is not improbable by reason of this fact and the inability of the en- emy instantly to remove them that fur ther large quantities of supplies will be taken

ATTACK COMPLETE SUCCESS

ATTACK COMPLETE SUCCESS
 London July 1S-The great counter attack in which the French and Amer ican troops are participating between the Aisne and the Marne has succeeded extremely well, according to the latest advices received here tonight, and the situation for many reasons is consid- cred extremely promising.
 Owing to the fact that there was 10 artillery preparation, the action was complete surprise for the Boche, and the enemy artillery reaction was very weak. On the other hand, the French counter battery work was exceedingly effective. Enemy aviators entered !, into the action and attempted to im- pede the advance. using their machine guns at a low altitude.
 RECOVER ALL GROUND Notwithstanding this, the counter at tack was noteworthy for the reason that the French offensive accomplished a great deal more than was achieved by the German drive on both sides of Rheims. The length of the front over which an advance was made was prac-- tically the same, and the French and Americans working together advanced in six hours virtually double the dis tance covered by the Germans in three days
 So far as is known at present, the junction line between Soissons and Oulchy-LeChate and also the june ton line between Soissons and Fishes are under direct observation and fire from the new French positions on the Crise ravine. These two lines are the only lines by which the Germans in this salient between Soissons and Rheims can be supplied. It is possible, however, that the Germans may have succeeded on connecting up their lines in another way.
 TAKE VALUABLE POSITIONS
 The French counter is regarded here as~one of the most brilliant pieces of work in the war, and it is believed that the results will prove extremely valuable as the French have obtained most important strategic positions.
 Tn London the view is held that tEe advance has put an end to the Ger mah offensive for the present and that Rheims can be considered compara- lively safe. The French have reached all their first objectives.
 South of the Marne much local fight ing is reported The French have lost some ground, but are still within ef- fective range of the German bridges across the river. though it is possible they may have lost direct observation. Further to the east the allies have re- gained ground in good many sectors especially in the sector west of Mas- sizes.

SING TO SETTLE QUARRELS
Eskimos Have Manner Of Adjusting
Grievances That Is Said TO Work
Satisfactorily to Them.

The Eskimos, who live in the ice
bound, barren nOrthland, have way
of settling quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing to those who live
in a land of policemen and courts of
justice. There, when duarrels arise,
the man who has a grievance writes q
song in which he tells the wrongs that
have been done him. When this has
been composed to his satisfaction he
invites his enemy to come and hear
him sing it. This the enemy must do,
and he brings with him all his rela-
tives and many of his friends, while
the singer also has gathered his
friends and relatives for the occasion,
which is considered something Of a
general entertainment by the people of
the village in which the men live.
Then, while other men of the village
pound madly on huge drums, the song
Of wrongs is begun. When it is fin
ished, if the audience expresses ap-
prevail, the singer is considered to have
won and to have q just cause of COM
plant. But if dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed, that is considered sufficient
punishment. After the song every one
dances and the party breaks up in
great good humOr.

EXPLAINING ANTICS OF BEAN
Nothing Really Mysterious About
Seeds Which Furnish Mexican Poems
. Cheap Gambling Parapherna!ia.

One of the favorite amusements OF
the Mexican peon is the game he calls
"loS brinconeS," which might be trans
lated 'sthe jumpers" A circle of dusky
laborers grouped about an apparently
empty space in the sunny DUST IS q
characteristic sight south of the Rio
Grande The objects of interest, invis-
ible to the casual eye, are the ''brin-
cones" or jumping beans.
The game is one calculated 20 ap-
peal to the Mexican temperament, be-
ing form OF pure gambling associated
with the irreducible minimum of ply
steal effort To the visitor it bears
also a touch of mystery.
The players draw a small ciEcle in
the dust and lay therein 4 number OF
little brown beans, which are really
not beans at all, but the seeds OF. some
native plant Exposed to the rays of
the sun and the solemn gaze of the
players, after a time the beans begin

first jump out of the circle, and appar-
emily the game is fair. There would
seem to be nc way of framing the
mysterious beans
The Mexican neither knows nor
cares why the beans jump, though their
behavior is most unusual for members
of the vegetable kingdom Asked for
an explanation, he will shrug and re-
mark that it is the nature Of "brin-
cones" to jump. Why question the
wisdom Of providence, which has seen
fit to provide her children with q cheap
and satisfactory apparatus for games
of chance?
Science, however, steps in with the
explanation that the innocent brown
bean in question is the home of GER
tain larvae, whose spasmOdic move
ments early in life are responsible for
the antics of it's vegetable home.

MAY CLOSE ALL BREWERIES
New Order Is Issued by the Fuel Ad-
ministration-CoaI Likely to Be
Shut Off on the First of
Next Year.

Milwaukee, July 1.-THE coal sup
ply of the state breweries will be dis
continued in the near future, until the
prospect of greater supply is in sight,
according to the orders received by
the state fuel administrator. This is
q decided change in the latest orders,
which were issued last week, reducing
the supply to 80 per cent of the former
allowance. The order, made by Doc
tor Garfield on July 10, states: 'This
is merely another step in the program
of curtailment of nOn-War industries
begun several months ago, and is nee
eSSary in order that coal may imme-
diately be delivered to sections of the
country remote from the Mines" The
order provides for enough coal for the
breWerieS to complete the manufac-
ture of the materials now on hand, but
further supply Of coal cannot be as
sured in the future. This will mean
that as soon as the present supply of
malt materials in MilWaukees brew
cries is exhausted they will be closed.
1t is estimated that most of the brew
cries in Milwaukee will have to close
about January 1, 1919. About 5000
men will be released when the Mil
Waukee breweries are closed. The
fuel administration wishes it to be I'M
derstoOd that the supply of coal is not
under normal, and that the plans for
increased saving are not due to non
production in the coal fields. Fifty
million tons of coal were mined last
season in excess of the season before.
However, the increased demand over
last seasons production is 80,0O0,OOO
tons. War industries are largely re-
SpOnsible for this increased demand.

ENCOURAGE Spirit of Adventure.

The spirit Of adventure, so nearly
universal in youth, commonly is
thwarted at every turn. Yet this Is
one of it's finest gifts; when it has
gone, life's greatest promise is past.
An educational system should nurture
and direct this spirit, bringing it to ex-
preston in a daring to aim at high
standards. in adventures into new
fields of action, thought and knOwl-
edge; in a desire for the hard, strenu-
Gus things which temper and stabilize
character. The sporting instinct of
youth demands these difficult tasks,
and life is stale when they cannot be
found.-Arthur e. Morgan, in the At
Ianti0.
