A Tribute To American Nurses.

American nurses, are extremely
popular over here. The other day 1

blind. led by a middle-aged woman,
very probably his mother. judging
by the tender care she took OF him.
She was asking him whether he had
been well cared for and in what hos
pital he had been taken after hav-
ing been wounded. In an American
hospital replied the young man.
And were they kind 70 you there?'
asked the woman. Did they speak
French, and could you understand
them? They did not always speak

flowers, and they took such care to
tie them with ribbons that had Stars

What are Stars and Stripes?'
asked the woman, evidently bewil-
dered by a description which an
swered nothing she had ever heard
before. oh Stars are the ornament
Americans care for the most. they
remind them Of heaven and as for
Stripes, 1 really do not know why
they are so fond OF them. But it
must be because they have got such
a pretty flag, which is all Stripes and
Stars. and mind, whenever they
waved it before us, then we knew
that we were not going TO be beaten
Yes, the American nurses were all
right, and the American people are
all right. too. I have seen them and
we al liked them The little sol

We must hope, my boy said
the woman gravely, words which
made me understand better than L
had ever done before what hope
means for both the French soldier
and the French women. Yes we
must hope until victory is ours"

NORTH END OF LINE FARTHER

At the British Front. Aug. 2e.-The
ninth day OF the British offensive
finds Sir Henry Horne's British first
army farther east at the north end
OF the battle front than the British
have been since the early days of the
war.
After penetrating the German line
of last March and then piercing the
outer Hindenburg line. Horne's troops
are now within striking distance of

man outposts.
This army gained eight miles in
the last three days. The deepest
dent has been made at Remy (seven
and half miles southeast of Arras)
and Haucourt Dust south of Remy).
In the last three days HoTne's army
has taken $500 prisoners and at
least twenty five guns.
The jolt dealt to the enemy in the
Arras-Lens sector renders his posi-
tion critical and this danger is in
tensified by the swift British pro-
gress between Arras and Peronne.
Further south the French have
been making great strides. captur-
ing Roye and reaching the west
bank of the Somme.
The battle in that sector has resulted
in a serious reverse for the enemy.
