WAR SUMMARY

| Assurance in their ability to stem
the tide of German force grow!
among the allied leaders as the en-
emy delays renewal of his often
sive from day to day. With the
French reserve almost intact, it ha:
been decided not to incorporate the
American army in the Anglo French
armies at this time and not to use il
until it is complete and self-sustain-
ing.
Washington has no official con-
frmation of this report, received i'll
letters in the form of summary OF
a report issued by the British war
cabinet, but qualification is felt that
the American army will be able to
meet the foe as an entirety.
When the German menace against
Amiens, Paris and the channel ports
became so serious, and General Foch
assumed supreme command. all the
available American troops were Of
fered the generalissimo. A large
number were rushed to the impor-
tant battle line and sector west Of
Montdidier is now held by American
soldiers.
Germany's military leaders have
used up most OF their seserves since
March 2l and the French and Brit
ish armies, with the allied reserve
army, are considered able to deal
with the further enemy onrushes
The allied strategy is aided by the
fact that the Germans must attack
or admit defeat.
Quiet Two Weeks.
1t is now two weeks since the
disastrous repulse north of Mont
KENNEL and in that time the Ger
mans have gained hardly loot in
either Flanders or in Picardy. The
French and British, however, have
taken some small and locally impor-
tant positions in limited attacks, the
latest advance having been made by
the French north of KENNEL village
in the capture of Hill A., and an
farm.
1t is felt the Germans cannot de
lay their attacks in strength much
longer, and that important sectors
southwest OF Ypres and between
Arras and the Somme will soon re
sound again with the clash OF
mighty battles. Meanwhile, the op-
posing cannon are firing thousands
Of shells into and behind the hostile
positions.

CHAPTER ~.

And the years passed, and Mark
Wallace grew grayer and older, and
more set and dispirited, with long al
ternating intervals of resignation,
when he took life as he found 1t and
was satisfied. But he always came
out Of these into brief periods of I'M
rest, with the sense that he had awak-
ened from some lethargy that was
damning his soul as the alkali and the
winds OF the plains had scanned his
face and taken the last particle of his
youth away.
Now in Texas, now In Arizona, now
in some lonely border post in the
freezing Northwest, he remained a cap
tain. He had no friends In Washing
ton. In time-in long time he would
reach his majority, no doubt, TO be re.
lieved soon after, and waddle, with
stout old majors of his own age, into
ornate clubs In army eenters not quite
SO far removed from cjvilIzad lion. He
looked upon this prospect with ironical
patience, and now and then asked
himself the unanswerable question
why he had remained in the army.
Eleanor was grown up and domlciled
permanently in Colonel Howard's town
house, and her letters had grown more
infrequent and perfunctory. until their
arrival became quarterly affair in-
stead of q monthly event, and not al
ways that, either.
And by and by the feeling came
over Mark that If ever he were to see
her again there would remain no COM
mon link between them. From doubt
ing his future he had come to doubt
himself. He doubted whether the des-
ert life had not blunted him, blunted
his finer instincts, and made him unfit
for social life-certainly rendered him
unfit for the guardianship of young
girl.
But that he had relinquished to Col
onel Howard-grudglngIy but uncom-
promisingly. Never In any of his let
tiers did he put forward the shadow
of his former claim.
Then. swiftly, AMI Unexpectedly.

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Britain in many unexpected places
is said to be largely due to the stir
ring up OF the country. that was given
by the great exhibition at London OF
1851. This was soon after the devel-
opment Of the railway system In Eng
land, and there flocked to London, a
large number of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to
the country danes. The new things
had a wonderful. fascination for them.
On returning home they got rid Of
much of their old furniture and
bought new. Much Of the old furni-
ture found its way to secondhand
shops, and was sold to poor folk, who
could not afford to buy new. This ac.
counts for the finding today Of much
good old furniture in smah houses In
provincial towns and among country
people.--Tndlanapolis News.

the absurdity, Captain Mark Wallace

AS he reached the gate he saw a
man watching him from the bend of

lie had always wondered what the
child would be like. Towards half
yearly letters had always assumed toe
much for gcanted. Mark had pracri-
cally reknqaisned Eleanor to the Ma
jor, and he had never learned anything
about her that he had really wanted to
know. He had not imagined the pre-
cocious, high-strung. idealistie girl
whom he now saw. He knew that the
disclosure of her fathers dishonor, If
ever it came about, would shock her
into a revulsion of feeling that would
be fatal to the true development of
her character.
He had OTTER wished that he had not
pressed that idea of the regimental
mascot upon the major. 1t had been
born in a mind attuned to the victory
of tat bloody day: In normal mo-
ments he would never have enter-
tanned it. Yet Major Howard had
been more impressed than he had adj
mitted to Mark. The idea had
spread through the minds of the other
officers. There was never a Guard din
ner but Eleanor was solemnly toasted,
though she was not permitted to be
present, and somehow the child had
become symbol in the minds of these
plain men in business and professional
life who spent two weeks In camp
each year.
After the war Mark had gone to the
regulars; but he was still in touch
with the officers of the Seventeen. and
he knew that, If ever war came, he
could obtain an appointment to it.

Mark could see that, bur he was
certain that 1t was hysteria, that the
idea had come to the child as the re-
suit Of brooding over the mystery of
her parentage. The entrance Of the
