DEPENDS ON THE COMPANY

AS to whether one should walk
alone, or in company, authorities diff
fer. For instance, Robert Louis
Stevenson said that the only way to
enjoy walk is to take it alone. On
the other hand, Mark Twain declared
that the chief enjoyment of walk
lies, not in the walk itself, but in
the talking that accompanies It.

Europe's lesson to the United States

port on French schools in war time,
reads:

defense of tomorrow. Conserve, en-
dure taxation and privation. suffer
and sacrifice, to assure to those whom
you have brought into the world tnat
it shall not only be a. safe place. but
a happy place for them.
H A. L. Fischer. president OF the
English board Of education. says:
"At the beginning Of the war. when
first the shortage of labor became
apparent. a raid was made upon the
schools great raid, a successful
raid, a raid started by large body
Of unreflecting opinion. The result
of that raid upon the schools has
been that hundreds Of thousands OF
children in this country have been
prematurely Withdrawn from school
and have suffered an irreparable
damage. a damage which 1t will be
quite impossible for us hereafter
adequately to repair. That is q very
grave and distressing symptom"

LUMBER FRAUDS CHARGED.
Concerns Accused Of Evading En-
barge by False Consignments.

NEWARK, N. J., July 27.-The fed
eral grand jury yesterday returned in
dictments against ten individuals and
New Jersey lumber companies charged
with violating the Elkins act by hav-
ing shipped from the south lumber
falsely consigned to army officers. and
thereby eluding the railroad embargo.
1t is alleged that as result of this
procedure the defendants were not
only able to sell lumber where other
concerns were powerless. but they
were also able to get higher prices
from the government. 1t is charged
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
are involved in the alleged frauds.
According to the indictments, which
technically charge the concerns and
their officers with receiving a dis
elimination and a concession" the
lumber was at first consigned to Reg
ular Army officers, but later bogus
names were used. These consign-
ments. 1t was charged, were made
without the authority of any person
connected with the government.

new ENEMY OFFENSIVE.
NOW SEEMS UNLIKELY
German Troops May Be Too Ex-
hausted to Attack Again
This Year.
BY JOHN F. BASS.

Cabiegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1OlS.
PARIS. France. July 24.-Just as in
the first battle Of the Marne in 1914
1t was the German right wing which
provedwea and led to disastrous re-
ttrement before the two French armies
under Gen. Mangin and Gen. Degoutte,
in which were incorporated the Amer
fcan forces. 1t frequently happens
that an offensive started as counter
attack develops into a decisive battle.
Such was Gen. Brussiloff's great driye
in Russia in 1916, and so may be the
allied hank movement against the
German right on the Marne.
German Troops overdriven.
Should our advance reach the juno
tion OF the Soissons- Chateau Thierry
railroads with the railroad from Fis-
mes-and 1t may have been reached
even as I write-the position of the
German armies will be precarious and
serious retreat will be forced. As
yet 1t is too early to prognosticate
put may say that the fifth offensive
Undertaken by Gen. Ludendorff in
France this year is ending disastrous
ly for Germany. Her troops have
SHOWN that they have been overdriven
IN this attempt and consequently the
chance of Germany's trying again to
reach final decision by force of arms
IN France seems less probable than it
did week ago.
The positions Of the Germans is far
from agreeable. as they have four sa-
ients into our lines which expose
them continuously to dangerous at
tacks. 1t seems improbable therefore
the the German staff will venture
at once on a further offensive with
It's reserve army in the north.
Italy May Escape Attack.
Even now the exhaustion of the
troops and the great losses make it
doubtful whether the Germans will
be able to conduct a final campaign
against Italy this fall. If the staff
does not achieve results either In
France or Italy the effect on the
morale in Germany may be serious
especially II the winter is reached
with the prospect of facing a new
American Army in the spring. Ger
tatnly IL no further results are reach
ed than those already attained Gen
Eoch has won a strategic victory.
