Now and then there is man who conceals tinid heart behind a long, dropping noustache and the general appearance of a Western sheriff of the days of Jesse James. But Gen. Beaumont B. Buck is not one of them. As the second hand of his watch marked 30 minutes past eight and the barrage fell. General Buck stretched his long legs out in front of the first wave, advised his men in no mincins words to follow him and get the damned Boshes this time, and led off the streaming rush across the open.
 They followed-who would not with such a leader? On and on they went toward the hot muzz1es that famed through the cracks of split walls and behind fallen masses of masonry, on past those muzzIes, yelling, cursiug, striking down with swing blows the desperately resisting Germans be- hind; on by the massive quadrangle of buildings in the western edge Of the village, past the ravished church and down the crooked main street un- til they pulled up, where the road pitched down into the Crise valley, and against the last eastern walls Of the hamlet on which battered bullets from the German net clear beyond a

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
lGuaranty Trust CoN

There are no changes in the basic elements which have determined the business situation since the beginning of the year. Production is still far behind the demand for goods of all sorts, especially those which appear to indicate recently acquired purchas- ing power, as the best grades of cloth ing and shoes, ornate furniture, jew e1ry, autom obi1es, etc. The demand for some of these, as for example, automobiles, has driven prices for other commodities, for example, iron, to new high levels. The supply of la bor is far short of the demand, and from all sections of the country come reports that with increases of wages and shortening of hours the produc- ton of goods has fallen off. Appre- citation of the fact that increased wages are a futile cure for the high cost of living when there is under production, gains headway but slowly. Wholesale buying is on a large scale, with indications, however, of more careful study of the future. The re- turn of the railroads to private con- trol is generally regarded as a staIbil- izing influence upon the uncertainties of the transition period. There are prospects for a real building boom.

lCASEYS' ARRANGE:
 EUROPEAN TOUR

A novelty in extended travel is be- ing introduced by the Knights of Columbus in the tour of Europe planned by that organization in con nection with the presentation of the K. of c. statue of Lafayette to the city of Metz. It is a cooperative tour which will be managed from first to last without a cent of proht-perhaps the first tour of any magnitude con- ducted under such conditions. Up wards of one thousand members of the K of c. will make the trip to Metz, first visiting the battlefields of Europe, and later Lourdes on the re- turn trip.
 The French government will re- ceive the Knights as their guests in France. pr. Marcel Knecht of the French High Commission to the United States is now in France ar ranging details of the trip with the French railroad auth critics. Paul w.

(By Joseph Mills Hanson in The
 Home Sector)
 The fall of the plateau south of Soissona and the thrust across the Chateau -Thferry road sealed the fate of the great Marne salient TAe lads of the 18th Infantry, First Division, made this success possible by their grim tenacity in driving the Germans out of Beray after being repeatedly repalsed in their brave efforts to take the place.
 But despite every effort, the grim walls of Berzy still loomed ahead be- yond the shell-pocked strip of upland as the summer twilight faded from the sky. Through the night it's guns, like those of beleaguered fortress, continued to flame In it stood at bay the last German garrison of that plateau south of Soissons," with the whole western front of the Marua a. lient pinned upon it, which had tor so long held black menace over Paris

Peerless Eight Bodies Are Built
 In the Peerless Works

the most exacting attention to detail is demanded.
 Five types of bodies are provided and all are adapted to the Peerless standard eight cylinder chassis, making a combination that abso- iutely assures a beautiful, comfort able and dependable motor car. . The demand for the Peerless Two Power Range Eight is so great that 1t is imperative that the pros pective purchaser place his order at once to assure a reasonably prompt delivery.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-03-12

There are many reasons why the Peerless Two-Power Range Eight carries the distinctive appearance and refinement of the highest priced cars, one of which is that the Peerless bodies are built en- tirely in the Peerless Works.
 Peerless bodies are standardized and are built in such quantities that the cost of production is mini mixed in spite of the fact that only the best materials are used and

REPUBLICANS JUBILANT OVER MAINE RESULT

Washington, September 16.-(Special) "As Maine goes so goes the nation," the republican national committee contends. The democratic national committee, on the other hand, declares that it is no more unusual for Maine to- go repub- lican than for Florida to go democra tic The overwhelming nature of the re- publican victory in Maine, however, is admitted to be significant, especially as the League of Nations was the chief issue, and women for the first time par ticipated. Inasmuch as the republicans won overwhelmingly whereas four years ago they just did get by" indicates, according to best judgment here, that progressives in Maine are not en- amoured of the league, and that the women are not only ungrateful to the party which gave them the right of suf- frage, but are contrary to former belief opposed to the league.
 If the same conditions hold true in all the states. the republicans will carry the day. But that the west will not respond in the manner that the rock ribbed republicans of Maine responded is confidently believed by democrats.
 When southern state, Tennessee had opportunity to put suffrage into effect, democrats, from President Will son and Governor Cox down, persuaded Tennessee to act favorably, probably against the secret wish of a majority of the members of the legislature. It was believed that the women of the country would stand by the party which had stood by them. But up to the pres ent time the women have expressed themselves against the League of Ma tions, which is the same in some judg- ments as against the democratic party. In New Hampshire they nominated Sem ator Moses, bitter -ender,' as agalnst a man who asked for a league with the Lodge reservations In Maine they scarcely noted the existence of the dem ocratjc ticket.
 The republicans are jubilant

he spoke only for himself. thereby mak- ing it plain that it was his purpose in no wise to involve the republican can didate. Furthermore, he discussed only ono feature of the League of Ma tions-Artic4e K For it is only on that article that Harding had unequivocally committed himself.
 The speech was confined exclusively to the League of Nations-or Article x of the league covenantJ He did not refer to Harding as a man, an official of the government; he did not refer to agriculture. railroads, prohibition, equal suffrage. He did not mention the terest he appeared.
 AS if to make absolutely certain that the press of the country would reach no erroneous conclusion, Senator Borah, prior to his departure for Dayton, sent by messenger to every newspaper cor respondent in Washington, advance copies of his Dayton address
 It is gathered from what he said and didn't say-that he agrees with Harding only in respect to Article x of the League of Nations. and that on that hi NiSiSe OHIy UOeS ne QlSaS With GOV ernor Cox. As is generally known, Borah, in his support of Senator John son in the Chicago convention, was bit terly antagonistic to Senator Harding. the senatorial oligarchy which put him over, and the tactics which the "Old Guard" pursued in winning the day.
 That he is heartily reconciled to the situation, that he supports Harding en- thusiastically, no one believes. The candidate in the Senate supports Pen rose, Lodge, Watson and Frelin ghuy sen. Borah votes with Johnson, Ken yon. Norris and McCumber.
 Especially does he differ with Hard ing on the League of Nations. The can didate supports a league of nations if not the League of Nations. Borah is against any league.
 In beginning his address. Senator Borah said: Both candidates may be- for all I know, in favor of some kind of a league. As to that l do not as sume to speak for anyone but myself It was on this point of difference be- tween the candidates that Borah pitched his address: "If Governor Cox is elected he will use all his great powers as President to commit us to Article X. If Harding is elected whatever. else happens or does not happen as to d league, Article x is to be eliminated"

Many Licenses Issued.

J. J. Brabham, Jr, probate judge
of the county, informed The Herald
man last Monday that he was just
making up his annual report, and
that he had issued 297 marriage
licenses from July 1, 1919, to June
%, 1920. He had his report in con-
dition for filing and settlement, when
in walked colored couple whe de-
sired to get "joined.' The probate
judge is a most obliging man, and al
though it upset his report he stopped
to do the job. Thus the total number
of licenses issued for the year is 29S.
This is an average of nearly one a
day, not counting Sunday, though
Sunday is the judges big day in the
wedding line.l By far the greater
number of licenses was issued to
colored couples.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Sunday afternoon, May 16, just as
the day was closing a life filled with
many Christian virtues was garnered
after 64 years of living in the home
that was so dear to her. 1t was the
life of Mrs. Hattie Aver Black, wife of

Sympathy and generosity were her
chief characteristics. Even after

in her dying hours. These virtues
were deep rooted and they will live
on in the lives of her children VINO

"Pale withered hands that more
than three score years,
Had wrought for others, smooth the
hurt of tears,
Rocked their cradles, ease the teVers S

Dropped balm of love in many an

Are now stirless, folded, like wan

Above the silence of her breast.
In mute appeal they told or lapors

And we'll earned rest that came at set

Welcome home with outstretcneo
