of fortitude in defensive warfare endured at the same time as that of the Third division, but with marked diff ferences in detail.
 Far separated from other American divisions on July 15. it was receiving the finishing touches necessary to fit it as a combat division in a sector of General Gouraud's Fourth army about 30 kilometers east of Reims, in that vast plain of the Champagne which TOT leagues in every direction was fur rowed with the trencnes and cobwebbed with the barbed wire of nearly four years of trench warfare.
 The commander of the division. Maj. Gen, Charles T. Menoher, had under him, in Brig. Gen. Michael J. Lenihan's Eighty third infantry brigade, the 165th
 infantry (from New York) and the 1S6th infantry (Ohio); in Brig. Gen. Robt. A. Browns S4th infantry bri- gade. the 167th infantry (Alabama) and the 16Sth infantry Qowa); in Brig. Gen. George G. Gatleys 9th field ar tilery brigade. the 149th, 150th and 151st field artillery Respectively from Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota); the 117th engineers (South Carolina and California;, and auxiliary organizations which. made the division representative by units of a total of 26 states.
 This truly comprehensive body of American troops was occupying the in- termediate and second positions in the sector lying, roughly, between Auber- fve-sur-Suippe, on the west and Perthe- les-Hurlus. on the east, with the famoAi Roman road traversing the length of it and the vast Champ De Chalons, ma neuverins ground, in it's rear. The front and most of the intermediate line were held by the 17oth French division in the left half of the sector and by the 18th French division in the right half.

Though some machine gun and long, range artillery opposition was encoun- tered, after five days in the fox holes on a diet of gold fish and corned willie, the men were in a mood to advance rapidly through the Foret De Nesles where, although the noise of ammunt- tion dumps being exploded by the en- emy was frequently to be heard from the front, nearly 33,000 shells of vari- ous calibres were captured intact

 The division then drew back for a brief rest after having been in prac- tically continuous offensive battle for nine days, during which period it ad- vanced it's front line approximately 10 kilometres from La Croix Rouge farm to Mont St. Martin.

One seldom sees yard-stick nowa- days in any of Birmingham's great stores.
 Where things are sold by length, the yard and it's parts are more conveniently indicated by brass tacks or otherwise on the rim of the counter, near the sales man. The customer takes it as matter of course that the measuring is accur- ately done, that 36 inches are in every yard so measured.
 The yard-stick has, indeed, been re- placed by another and more important measure of merchandising-th measure of confidence which the store has earned, that intangible, yet vital force called goodwill"
 Mrs. Suburbanite comes to As for a blouse. The advertisement said the blouse was Unusual value for the money" The saleswoman explained the exceptional factory causes for the "pn- usual" price.
 Mrs. s., being thrifty, somehow thought of that Unusual" part of the transaction as she laid the blouse aside several months later, for further and more reasonable use. After several cleanings it was in excellent, serviceable shape, too good to discard. Mrs. s. now buys pretty nearly everything at As. Good will, you see, is the customers contribution to the merchants capital stock, and, curiously enough, the GUS toner rarely notes the contribution or knows that it has been made.

The Yard-StiCk

The man makes 15-minute trip to buy some more shirts like those he can't wear out. The woman goes two squares out of her way to buy blankets that her grandchildren will use. Good will beck ons her to that store.
 Price alone isn't the lure. Other shops have bigger or later stocks and advertise "cut" prices. Service is the magnet.
 The steady customer, the good will builder, is made by merchandising which uses many measures besides the yard stick; where the end of the transaction, when the blouse is finally worn out, is deemed of more importance than it's beginning.
 Happily, Birmingham. has many such stores where the yard-stick doesn't measure the whole transaction-where "inches" of value and wear are also de- livered-where the management depends on every sale to increase the ''good will' item on it's ledgers.
 In every big city there's always a newspaper through which the good will of steady customers of this type can be secured by merchs nts who have service for salezby stores which regard an in- crease of good will of more importance than one-time profits.

Owen Lines Up With Opposition
Colt Urges Reservations.

Washington. Oct. 15.-One Demo-
cratic senator today declared for
amending the peace treaty, while one
Republican came out against amend
ments in speeches in the senate.
The Democrat was Owen, Okla
homa, and the Republican, Colt,
Rhode Island. who said he was against
amendments but for reservations.
The speeches were made as the
senate took up the Shantung amend
last week.
Owen proposed an amendment to
the treaty giving freedom to all sub
ject peoples when they are capable of
self lf-govefnment He also proposed
reservations declaring allegiance of
the United States and the allies to
President Wilson's fourteen points and
dissenting from Great Britain's pro-
tectorate over Egypt, granted in the
treaty.

ing governments decide they are capa-

sembly of the League ordered it by a
two-thirds vote, Owens amendment
provided.
owen declared the sovereignty over
Shatung province, Egypt, Ireland, Po-
land and the Philippines belong to
their respective peoples.
Speaking in opposition to the amend
ments, Senator Colt declared they
would reopen treaty negotiations by
creating 9 new treaty while reserva-
tions would accomplish the desired
end without sending the document
back to other powers.
Reservations are essential "for the
protection of America" Colt said.
