Because Sam Houston (William
Farnunl) had been raised in the
mountains, he had little or no educa-
ton When his father died, Sam felt
as if he had lost the last friend he
had in the world. He still had the
Indians. among whom he had lived
since the earliest dawn of conscious
hess.
The city was not far from where
Sam lived He made frequent trips
TO it, and that was how he came TO
meet Eliza Amen (Jewel Carman).
1t was a case of love at first sight.
The rough bacl1woodsman thought
he had never seen anything quite so
lovely as the dainty little blonde of
the city He was sure he had never
seen anything quite so naughty
When she discovered that he was
so ignorant that he could neither
read nor write. it meant for her the
end of their mountaineering. Sam
thereupon began his education.
One day soon after Eliza had
learned this awful truth Sam went to
see her. She could not bear the
thought of receiving such person.

Sam that she could not see him be-

French Relief Work.
Mrs. C. o. Niles, chairman of Re-
lief for French Children, urges that
she may receive the cooperation Of
every person in Americas in the
coming drive. The national commit
tee are urging people everywhere to
curtail the giving of Cirhtmas pres
ents, except to our children and ten
der the money for the relief of the
homeless children Of Farnce. Surely
we can do no less than this when
we think of the happy, sheltered lives
of our children and. compare them
with the unhappy children of France
and Belgium. Happiness is the pre-
negative of childhood, the basis Of
it's development, without which the
sou lof a child can no more flower
than rose without sunshine. But
children have been born throughout
France into poverty, fear, want and
suffering. In those devastated dis
tricts, or huddled in vast refugees
sheds in Paris, children have forgot
ten how to laugh and have not learned
to play Often their lives have I'M
folded in damp cellars or bombproof
shelters, thtir sleep broken by shells
and their days one long paralyzing
terror. Save for those who remain
to love them, humanity is represented
by cruel men with spiked helmets
whose words were curses and whose
gestures were blows. A tactless word
might mean death; and darkness,
deep in the earth, was better than
smoke-filled streets above, where
moving armies, explosions and torn
bodies made hell on earth.
Among Germanys heavy RESPONSE
bilities, none is weightier than the
dwarfed and stunted souls of the
children of France. If their faith is
stronger in teh devil than in the low
ing God, the Hun is to blame. If am
bitfon, fearless honesty, self-respect
and mental and physical vigor are
absent, Germany should pay. Let
America, while plying and consoling
those bereft victims of klutur, look
to 1t that Germany does pay.
In the meantime let us not fail
locally to do our part.

ITY OF ALBERT
GREAT BATTLE ON WEST FRONT ENTERS
ITS NINTH DAY WITH VIOLENCE
.-. BUT LITTLE ABATED

The Germans last night renewed their powerful at
tacks In the Montdder region where their wedge had
been pushed farther toward Paris, and great battle
ms raging along 25-me front both sides of the sa
ient which has Montddier at its point. The French
backed up by powerful reserves, offering desperate
resistance to the German blow.
Apparently the French line has been forced back
slightly on the northern edge of this 'front.' the Paris
official report of the battle mentions the town of Mereu
as forming part Of the line here This place is about
IL miles southeast of Amiens.
On the southerly side of the salient the battle is
ing to point beyond Lassigny, which lies some IA miles
east of Montddier There indication of any change
along this part of the front.
To the nOrth along the British 'front.' the situation
is virtually unchanged At only one point just above
where the French and British lines jon did the Ger
mans make any advance pushing short distance up the
road In the direction of the latter place and
occupying the village of Mezeres, and the hamlet of
MalsOn Blanche, just to the north

The report that the Germans are digging them
selves In between Thiepva and La Boisee In the re-
glon north OF Albert may be significant
The possibility suggests itself that, foiled in their
attempt to drive wedge between the French and Brit
lsh armies effect break In the allied lines the Ger
mans may be making attempt to re-estabIish their
trench lines the basis of their present advance either
for defensive purposes for another plunge into en-
tente territory.
The line of reported entrenchment however is
only little more than three miles In length and at pres
est the move is most likely to be judged as local meas
ure for protection of the town of Albert.
