on August 27, 1916, Rumania de-
clared war on Austria Hungary The
Dual monarchy thereby reaped the
reward of Hungary's selfish policy
and we the fruit of our passive acqui-
esCence.
on the 2Sth, at l o'clock in the
forenoon, the chief of the military
cabinet, General Won Lyncker, tee-
uhoned General Won Hindenburg and
myself that his majesty the kaiser
commanded our presence in PlesS
(the kaiser's headquarters) at once
That same day at 4 D. m. we left
Brest never again to return to the
eastern front. Behind us lay two
years of strenuous, united work and
mighty victories.
General Won Lyncker received us
on our arrived in Pless about 10
o'clock in the morning of August 90.
ne MOI med me that Field Marshal
Won Hindenhurg had been appointed
chief of the general staff of the field
army, and that ! was to be second
chief The totle first quartermaster-
general seemed to me more oppro-
pirate. In my opinion there could
only be one chief of the general staff
but, in my case, | had been expressly
assured that | should have joint re-
sponsibility in all decisions and meas
ures that might be taken,
When his majesty received us, he
expressed the hope that the crisis at
the front would be overcome. and the
imperial chancellor. who was present
in Pless at the time, spoke TO the
same effect. The subject of peace
was not touched on by him. The
gravity of the situation must have
often brought it to mind The enc
my's intentions prevented any steps
being taken.
My position was a thankless one, as
fully realized. | entered on my
duties with sacred desire to do and
think of nothing that did not contrib
ute to bring the war to a victorious
end For this purpose alone had the
field marshal and ! been called upon.

TWO MINUTES OF OPTIMISM
BY Herman j. stitch.

CThe New York Evening world.)
chapter was i'The History jof My
Life"
A man discounts his superiority
when he becomes too aware of it.
As soon as a great man shows he
knows it we doubt it.
Since modesty sits serenely on the
best of us. it is incumbent upon the
rest of us.
1t is one thing to be proud of
honors, an entirely different thing to
be vain of them.
Modesty is more than a Biblical
Injunction; it is an important part of
the personality of every successful
man.
Conceit is the fly in the ointment,
the grit in the oil, the lion in the path
Of any mans power.
If man is an underling and he
becomes conceited, he remains what
he is; if he is an able man and he
becomes conceited, he ties a milestone
about his neck, cuts the ground from
under him and puts an extinguisher
on his light,
Broad men do not weaken them
selves by small beer conceit; the bow
that bears most bends lowest.
Conceit takes the wind out of
mans sails and throws a wet blanket
over Opportunity.
When a man glanees into the mir
ror and sees a conceited man. he's
looking at dead one" Conceit is
shroud.

The task was perfectly enormous. The
awful feeling of responsibility did not
leave me for a single instant. The
field of action was in many respect
entirely new and uncommonly COM
prehensiye. The amount of work in
volved was quite unprecedented.
Never has fate before suddenly
placed so heavy burden on human
shoulders. With bowed head
prayed God the All-Knowing to give
me strength for my new office.
Situation Extremely Critical: Pure
Defense" the Only Policy.
The circumstances in which the
field marshal and | had been sum-
moned to take supreme command
were extremely critical. Whereas we
had hitherto been able to conduct our
great war of defense by that best
means of waging war-the offensive
we were now reduced TO policy of
pure defense.
The entente had gathered up all
their strength for mighty and. as
they thought, last great blow. thrown
us on the defensive and brought Ru-
mania into the field.
1t was to be expected that the at
lacks on the western front, in Italy,
Macedonia and south of the Pripet
(Russia) would be intensified, while
the Rumanians. reinforced by Rus
slams. would burst into Pennsylvania
on our exposed right flank, or invade
Bulgaria from the Debrudja. Some
where or other we were to receive our
death blow.
We also had to reckon on increased
enemy activity in the Asiatic theater,
We were engaged in battle of Titans
unparalleled in history. Our nerves
and muscles braced themselves in
stinctively, for it was question of
saving the fatherland from position
of extreme peril, as we had done a.

Months ago a barrel of whiskey
collapsed on the floor of liquor en-
porium and leaked down into the
cellar A little mouse ventured out
Of its hole. shifted, took sip, ran
back to its hole, thought it over and
came back for more. After a while
the little mouse ran up the stairs to
the first floor, ran all the way up to
the second floor. to the third and to
the fourth floor, till it got to the
roof of the building. There, it walked
up TO the edge, and, standing up
straight on its hind legs, with its
whiskers and hair bristling fiercely,

COAL FAMINE IMMINENT.

Whether or not the sheriffs of coal
counties were premature in calling
for troops to prevent trouble and
guard mines so willing men might
work. immediate production is abso-
lutely necessary. The governor has
notified operators there must be ac-
ton at once.
They and the peace officers repre-
scented that miners would work in
the camps, if guards We're sent. Now
the governor is asking for the most
vigorous effort to produce the coal
Already one town has closed its
electric light and power plant be-
cause all coal in sight is needed for
the water works. 1t may be that
within week the people of that town
will have no water-unless coal be
mined and railways haul It.
Even the Gallup mayor announces
that the town water plant there is de-
pendent upon daily production of coal
for operation, as there is none in
storage.

early days of July the battle on the
Somme had not brought the entente
the break-through they hoped for.
The second battle of attrition of the
year 1916 had since then been in full
swing on both banks of the Somme,
and was raging with unprecedented
fury and without a moments respite.
When the battle of the Somme be-
gan the entente had a tremendous SUI
periority, both on land and in the air.
CHIC. was surprised at first. Rein
forcements were quickly thrown int
but it had never succeeded in wiping
out the enemys superiority in artil-
lery, munitions and aircraft. even to
a limited extent.
The entente troops had worked
their way further and further into the
German lines. We had heavy losses
in men and material. At that time
the front lines were still strongly
held. The men took refuge in dug
outs and cellars from the enemy's
artillery fire. The enemy infantry,
coming up behind their barrage, got
into the trenches and villages before
our men could crawl out from their
shelters. A continuous yield of pris-
oners to the enemy was the result.
Strain Was Tremedous.
The strain on physical and moral
strength was tremendous, and divi-
sions could only be kept in the line
for few days at time. They had
to be frequently relieved. and sent to
recuperate on quiet fronts 1t was
impossible to leave them behind the
line-we had not enough men. The
number of available divisions was
shrinking.
In view of the shortage of artillery
it was now kept in the line. even
when the divisions were relieved. Di-
visions which were released by battle
worn divisions had. in turn, to leave
their artillery behind them and come
up behind the battle front. The re-
suit was that units were hopelessly
mixed up.
The shortage of ammunition in

The elections Tuesday can well be
accepted as indicating the opinion OF
the public upon much discussed ma
tional questions The elections may
not prove there are more republicans,
FOR fewer democrats in any state than
at previous tests. But they do show
that the majority of voters are again
in action and condemn party leaders
who have caused or permitted many
things to get into a muddle.

Ohio did not have an election Of
officers, but the Cincinnati German
influence was entirely deluged by the
flood that drowned the efforts to Sc
cure disapproval of acts of the legis-
lature in aid of effective prohibition,

Maryland, with a 10000 plurality
for Wilson four years ago. came near
to Reputation, if his party really
carried the state.
New York elected republican su-
preme judges, though Tammany may
have saved its choice for chairman.
Mississippi, where less than half the
people vote; where plantation owners
can ballot. but cotton pickers cannot,

aspire to office in that state.

Massachusetts, had a live issue

But for this issue the republican and

have been silent. They would not
remain supine in view of what hap

Careless Use of Soap

Soap should be used very care

the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
