AMERICAN FORCES
READY TO STRIKE
Divisions Have Been Moved to the Front
of the Great Bow Forming the Ter
ritory Occupied by Them
Once More They Have
Been Galvanized to
War Form.

Coblenz, Wednesday, June 10 (By the
Associated Press Divisions Of the Sd
army after being away from battlefelds
and war scenes for seven months, have
again been plunged into the stirring ac-
tivities which generally preeede the actu-
al thunder of war An army, unper-
turbed by the work of the peace confer
ence and thinking much Of home, has
suddenly been galvanized into the life
the soldiers knew before the armistice
and endowed with renewed yigor. It is
to-day moving forward the edge of the
great semi-circle which marks the di-
viding line between the occupied areas
and the neutral sections of Germany.
This was most stirring day at Sd
army headquarters and among the lst
and I'd divisions holding the east bank
OF the Rhine since the Americans moved
in about six months ago Late yes
terday, orders were flashed from head
quarters in Coblenz TO the divisions
across the Rhine, ordering them to pre-

The first honor student, Helen Eliza
beth O'Keefe, read an essay entitled,
"The War and American Commerce. .
She traced the progress of American
commerce through the Dingley tariff pc
riod when American goods could compete
with English and German goods on ac-
count of the excess profit extorted from
the American people, through the period
Of interest in currency and trust prob
lens up to the time when the American
democracy began in a feeble way to de-
mand the fulillment of its ideals. The

FooI-Proof AirpIane.

The latest model of British airplane
IS said to be as nearly foolprOof as 1t
is possible to make such a machine
as an airplane The machines are so
balanced and the wings so arranged,
that when the engine stops they glide
gradually and easily to earth. The
following test shows how stable these
airplanes are; A pilot climbed to a
sufficient height, and then stopped his
engine and took his hands off the con-
troll, merely keeping his feet on the
rudder bar. He steered for an air.

headed her straight, he let the air.
plane do what she liked. She trav-
eled the whole twenty miles as stead
lily as bicycle coasting down a long,
straight and gentle hill. OF course
the pilot had to take hold of the con-
troll stick to land the machine In the
airdrome, but except for that, and the
steering, the airpAne made the whole
Journey by herself.

CoLoGME'S UPS AND DOWNS
Importsnt German City of the Present
Has Had It's Periods of Dire
Adversity.

During the Middle Ages Cologne
was place of great trade; the weav-
ers, the goldsmths and the armorers
of the city were famous the world
over; while its merchants had houses
In London, and the city itself was ac-
corded chief place in the Hanseatic
league. Decay set In with the dawn Of
the Reformation, and the place owed
its Downfall to its intolerance. Thus,
its university, which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had a great
reputation, began at once to decline
This1policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town, and when,
in 1874, Cologne was occupied by the
French, it was poor and decayed
city of some 10000 inhabitants. $. Of
which only 5000 possessed civil ghts.
Since 1915, however, when II was
finally assigned to Prussia, Cologne
has continued to prosper, until to-
day 1t is one of the most important
cilies of Germany, with a population
If nearly half a million.

EDUCATION AND THE PUMPKIN
Eastern Writer Points out Wherein
the TWO Have Some Strong
Points of Similarity.

At one Of our city vegetable marts
one day farmer displayed with COM
mendable pride huge pumpkin Of al
Turing aspect, with the statement that
1t grew full twenty feet from the
stalk" remarks Rochester Post-Ex-
press. This habit of wandering in
tortuous uselessness to long distance
from the source of production before
the fruit of the vine Is produced is
long known Of the pumpkin.
1t would not be amiss for our educa-
tors to consider the pumpkin vine; un-
questionably some of them have in
earlier days, but whether with view
to its close analogy to educational
processes Is uncertain. Perhaps ii is
too much to say that the best fruit
Of the educational vine Is produced
from its original source; that what
comes of schooling is something quite
different from the apparent result at
the source that the best things a man
or woman does are very different from
the particular, or nonparticulGrized
thing, he or she is directly taught to
do. We are turning to the business of
making our schools show quick fruit
age of working ability.
But 1t is at least a fair hazard to
opine that the pupils who become
"some pumpkins" will often as not be
products known a long way from the
special process of education that ex-
treme vocatlonalsts advise.

Dous as MESSENGERS.

Experiments made in the training Of
dogs as messengers with the armies
In the field have, 1t is stated, given
satisfactory results. The dogs which
proved most receptive under instruc-
tions are chiefly half-breed collies and
retrieyers. A rather poor breed of
bob-tailed sheepdogS has also done
well. All have been trained to per-
form their errands during heavy fir
ing, both of rifles and guns They
can be fired over as easily as the or
dinary sporting dog, and what is quite
another thing, they will face fire at
close range.

Had Same War Adventures.

A letter from the chaplain of base
hospital 4S, French lines, brings to
light strange case of parallel circum-
stances in the war experiences of two
San Franciscans, Corp. Arthur r. Null
len, 621 Alvarado street, and Private
jeremiah Sears, 623 Alvarado street.
After enlistment the two men, living
in the same building, were assigned to
the same division, fought in the same
battle, escaping wounds; then in the
battle of Argonne they were both
wounded October IA at the same time,
by machine-gun bullets, and were
placed side by side on cots In the same
hospital.

While engaged in a Irritation,
When she asks you II forever
You viii love her
Don't fall In CONSERVATION
For that maiden's appreciation,
Nor make promise that you'll never
Love another.

For forever is long. long time!

Billy Wardon sat on the veranda
rail half oblivious to the chatter of the
company about him until Edna Barns,
their charming hostess stood beside
him.
DO come in and sing something,
BLY, she whispered. I'm afraid the
evenings beginning to drag"
Wardon arose dutifully and followed
her into the house toward the piano
while she announced from the door ;
Come on everybody, Billy's going to
sing"
And everybody trailed into the room
where Billy was already running over
the piano keys aimlessly.
"What'll you haye?" he asked over
his shoulder to the gay assemhlage.
Something sad-something mushy-
or something frivolous?'
Something frivolousw was the
unanimous request.
SO Billy's fingers strayed into syn
copating melody as he threw back his
blond head and sang in his rollicking
baritone:
