In the regions OF Cambria, st. Quentin

Mangin are battering against the very

With a desperation bordering on
panic. Crown Prince Rupprecht, Gen

melee with orders TO hold Or1die, retake

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Before the
war / was going with a young man
two years older than I, whom l loved
at that time. We became engaged
Later / stopped going with this young
man and started going with a soldier.
loved this boy and promised to
marry him as soon as he returned.
Shortly after he left 1 met another SOL
der and he loved me very much. I
went with him for seven months and
promised to marry him when he re-
turned.
Then did not go with any one boy
steady until about three months ago.
I started going with a young man who
fell in love with me the first time 1
saw him. He asked me to marry him
before he had to go to the army.
told him I would, but did not really
mean it. He told me he had to go
away and would have good news when
he returned.
Yesterday he came back, took me
for an auto ride and to a nice new
house where 1 met his father. who
said he had built this house for us
and also said his mother would be
down this month to the wedding.
In the meantime the first boy says
he will not break the engagement to
me. Both the soldiers write to me two
and three times q week. The first
says that If 1 should marry any one
! of the earth. I even got a letter from
, his mother begging me not to break
his heart by marrying this Stacker.
But he is not a Stacker. He will go
| willingly when called.
Which one should I marry? Every
boy I have ever gone with has
| begged me to marry him. While the
| last boy was away I met a lieutenant
and 1 really love him more than any
except the first soldier. He asked me
to marry him and I told him would
tell him in a week. 1 want to marry
the first soldier. but I am afraid to
wait. He might not come back. i
| really want to marry at once.
Shall I marry the first boy?
Wait for the first soldier?
Wait for the second soldier?
Marry the boy who has built us a
| house?
Or the lieutenant? J. NJ
You ought not to marry at all. You
! seem to lack a sense of honor entire
| ly. How the first soldier would be
| willing to trust you, knowing the nu-
| merous times you have been engaged,
I cannot understand.
| i. 1t will be better to make the man
who built the house unhappy now
than to marry him without love and
prove faithless.

Truman H. Newberry, Republican
nominee in Michigan for the United
States senate, is making the race
squarely upon a stand for universal
training. We will have at the close
of the war some of the best canton
ments in the world. and Newberry ad-
vises that they be used permanently in
training the youth of the land in arms,
in vocational education, and in the
duties of citizenship. He says that
such a system would breed a stronger
race and would establish a common
bond among all men. The training
camp has been a school in hygiene
and sanitation, morals and civics, as
well as in military discipline.

Why Men Tire.-2.

Another reason why men grow
weary is because many a girl is
cursed with TOO MUCH FAMILY.
Heaven only knows how many girls
have made good husbands. driven
away by father and mother, and lit
tie sister and little brother. and
grandmother and grandfather. and
Aunt Harriet considering it their
sacred duty to entertain the young
man when he calls, instead of leaving
it to Jane.
A man must be desperately in love.

where he can stand for fathers remi-
niscences of his early days on the
farm, and all the details OF mothers
last operation, and to h little Mary
mess up his best suit with her all-day
sucker. Hence, when a young man
finds out that when he goes to see a
girl he's got to see. and listen to her
entire family, he is mighty apt not to
make a second call.
Another girl who gets on a. mans
n-rves IL the MONOLOGUE GIRL.
The Monologue Girl thinks that the
way to be entertaining to a man is to
keep up a perpetual stream of talk
that has never a brea', nor a pause in
it. She never gives him chance to
say anything. but just pours over him
a torrent of words, words, words, until
she leaves him gasping Tor Dreath'
and with only strength enough left to
beat it away from her presence, and
thank c ID he is not married to wife
with a perpetual motion tongue.
Still another girl who gets on mems
nerves is the girl who brags. She Il
the girl who, when she is away from
home, languidly refers to our butler
and our footman, and our chauffeur
and who speaks of winters in Palm
Beach and summers at Newport as II
everybody were millionaires. altho per-
haps she really lives in two by four
flat, and helps mother with the work
and rides on the street cars. Worst OF
all. she boasts of the man whom she
claims to have refused to marry
Which decides the man on the spot
that she shall not add his name to heI
list.
| Then there's the limiting girl who
holds man up. and the girl who talks
about herself and her family. and the
girl who has a mission, and the gig
Cling girl, and the girl who tries to be
vivacious. All of these are girls who
are attractive at first sight, but a lit
tie of whose society goes a long ways
with men.
If you don't have beaux. to which
class do you belong, girls?

GERMANY SHOULD PAY.

The Manufacturers' Record thinks
that 1.-The entire cost sof the war to
America and the allies should be
placed upon Germany" The Record
suggests that this could be accom-
plished by the confiscation of all bonds
that have been issued by Germany,
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria for
carrying on this war, and all prior
bonds issued by those countries and
held by their own citizens. The Ger
man people, who have gloatingly sub
scribed to these bonds in hopes That
they would be able to loot the world"
should be saddled with the burden of
this cost, or else no interest should be
allowed on those bonds until the al
lies have been fully repaid.
The Record goes farther and insists
that Germany should be compelled to
pay a pension to the family of every
man killed in the defense of civiliza-
ton in this war and of every allied
soldier permanently invaded. mo
one could object to the German people
having the opportunity to work IN
ceasingly for the next fifty years in
paying off this Indebtedness" declares
the Record, which believes that we
and our allies would thus be relieved
of the entire bonded indebtedness con-
sequent to the war and taxation would
thereby be greatly diminished. 1t
would also exercise a salutary effect
on any country which might have in
prospect an era of such unbridled Ii
cense. pillage and rapine as has char.
| acterized the German policy of terror
ism for the past four years.
Whatever views we may entertain
regarding the possibility of enforcing
such terms, nobody can question their
justice. 1t is well known that Ger
many planned similar course toward
the remainder of the world had she
| succeeded in winning the war. 1t was
the boast of the Hun leaders that con-
quered countries would be made to
pay the entire cost of the war. Their
| conduct toward France on a previous
occasion leaves no doubt that the boast
would have been made good.
The Records program should be
| carried out not because Germany set
the example but because it is right and
just. She started the war; she should
pay.

The New York World says that
Postmaster General Burleson has lad
mitted that he was considering an ad-
vance in telephone rates" But why
the need of an admission? Everybody
knew, when the government took over
the telephone companies, that, rates
would be advanced. Mr.. Burleson put
at the head of the telephone service a
man who has for years decried as ex-
brilliant the charges made BY the pri-
vate owners. If those charges were
exorbitant, as alleged, the government
under what it assumes to be more eff
ficient management, ought to be able
to get along on the same charges. But
1t won't. Government operation under
Burleson probably will be more expen-
sive and less efficient. Whether the
charges of private operators were ex-
orbitant or not, the charges imposed
by the government will be higher, and
there is no use protesting. There will
be no hearings, the public will not be
consulted, and the charges will be
paid when demanded. The idea of adj
vocates of government operation OF
public utilities always has been to
furnish the service to the people al
