Although there were some ten divi-
sions Of the enemy remaining south of
the Marine, the very evident conclusion,
Judging from the results of the follow
ing two days and the losses he had
suffered, was that he would be unable
to continue the offensive.
Now that the allied armies were no
longer in jeopardy it seemed opportune
to push the formation of our own
army near Chateau Thierry for use
against the Marine salient in the coun-
teroffensivc 1 had frequently urged.
The outlook for the allies HAD
changed materially since the crisis Of
early June. The enemy had been held
in his most recent attacks and his
losses were presumably very great.
He was losing the advantage of
numbers and his superiority was pass
ing.

Hotel de Vile. This was an altogeth-
er delightful social gathering, includ-
ing series of suitable speeches.
The spirit Of fraternity that pre-
vailed made it easy to respond. In
fact, on this, as often on similar occa-
sions, I found myself almost as enthu-
siastic as the French speaker, though
perhaps less content with my effort.
The allies elsewhere did not forget
that it was our Independence day, and
messages came from Clemenceau, Foch
and Haig and many others from all
over France.
Yanks In HameI Attack.
Regardless of the distinct under
standing that our troops behind the
British front were there for training
and were not to be used except in an
emergency, the British made continu-
GUS effort to get them into their lines.
They planned an attack by the Aus
tralians for the Fourth of July and
requested Maj. Gen. George Read, COM
mander of the Second corps then still
in training, to permit some Of the
troops Of the Thirty-third division to
take part.
At first the British suggested four
companies, but later they wanted the
number increased to ten. AS the use
of Americans at this time was directly
contrary to the arrangement, naturally
it did not meet with my approval.
Having learned that such a COM
bined attack was planned, spoke to
Marshal Haig about it when saw him
i'll Paris July 8, and he entirely agreed
with my point of view. 1t seems that
General Read. afterward, in accord
ance with my instructions, told Cen
eral Rawlinson that l did not want
partly trained troops to participate.
However. our troops had by this time
become fully committed to 1t. AL
though the British chief of staff had
consented to leave our troops out,
when he learned from Rawlinson that
it would compel them to defer the OPP
GRAFTON, he informed Read that no
change could be made without orders
from Field Marshal Haig, who, he said,
could not be reached, and so the at
tack was carried out, as learned the
next day.
The fact that General Read and his
officers and men were keen to get into
the battle went far to excuse him. 1t
seems needless to add also that the
splendid behavior Of the troops in the
operation was decided argument in
favor of leniency. This division also
afterward displayed the same eager
ness to get at the enemy in several
hard-fought engagements during the
trying days of the Meuse-Argonne.

CHAPTER XIX

A number Of our divisions were
quite prepared to engage in any con-
templated offensive and their location
at the moment lent hope for the early
formation Of one and probably two en-
tire corps of Americans.
Liggett's First corps had taken its
place in line July 4, with the Second
division (Harbord), relieved on the
10th by the Twenty-sixth (Edwards),
and French division under its direc-
ton. The corps staff had been shaken
down to the routine of its work and
had become in every respect an eff
cient group, performing its functions
with the confidence and precision
worthy Of the more experienced staffs

Discuss Troop Shipments.
Shortly after our return to Chau-
mont, Generals Foch and Weygand
arrived and after lunch we all went
into conference. The continuation Of
shipments up to one hundred divisions,
as already recommended by the prime
ministers, Lloyd George, Clemenceau,
and Orlando, formed the basis Of
French argument.
The whole subject was thoroughly
discussed, and, considering the then
shortage Of man power claimed by the
French and British, to say nothing Of
the possible increase Of the German
armies from Russian sources, the main
question was to get over as many
Americans as possible. It was finally
agreed that we should propose an
eighty-division program to be conDlet-
ed by April, 1919, and add to it the
larger program Of one hundred divi-
sions to be completed by July, 1919.

Straight Talks to Women About Money

When we feel like 'beggars" it 4
frequently because we have begged
rather than gained thoughtful interest
and consideration. One successful
worker explained her success In solicit
ing funds by the fact that she interested
prospects In the cause Of charity first.
and then she cited the need Of funds to
maintain it properly. She sold" for
charity as q salesman would sell q bond
she induced people to invest" In it.
rather than to give.
There are some human points to re-
member. One should never call on q
business man during his busy hours or
interrupt others In mattersA vital to
them. One should never overstay her
welcome nor presume on friendship.
Often women receive small contributions
which amount to good riddance''
money, when more thought in soliciting
would have resulted In an appreciable
donation.
Women who only know that "it Is a
good cause" and "it Is doing good
work" make the poorest sort of solici-
tors. Few people are likely to give on
another's say 50. The natural desire to
know how our money Is to be spent
should receive consideration. We wish
to have reasons as well as motives for
giving. Most people viii give II they

Pessimism.

Pessimism.
PessimisIn has a place in the psy-

nauer, the German philosopher who
nved from 1873 to 1850, Is the reco1-
nized pessimist among the philosophers
OF all times. ] here record excerpts
from his philosophy.
Comparing q human social group to
porcupines budding together to keep
warm, he says: "a man who has some
meat tn himself prefers to remain out
side where he win neither injure other
people nor get injured himself"
Denouncing fattery, he says: "If
you stroke cat, it viii purr; and, as
inevitably, If you praise q man, q sweet
expression OF delight viii appear on his
face"
''The sight of man almost always ex-
cites my antipathy."
VIII without intellect Is the most
vulgar and common thing In the
world, possessed by every blockhead"
The experience Of almost every man
IS simply constant struggle for life
with certainty of losing It In the end" /"
SIN savage countries they eat one
another; in civilized countries they de-
ceive one another"
1.-THE more man has In himself, the
less. indeed, other people can be to
him"
"If man is unsocial that is as much
as TO say he is man Of great qualities. /"
"A mans sociability stands very
nearly In inverse ratio to his intellectual
value"
s"To lay great value upon what other
people say is to pay them too much
honor"

The man or woman who knows the
warblers apart as they dart through the
first greenery of our trees, dropping elu-
sive music on the air as they come
winging up from the Carolinas, GER
tainly has my awed respect.
The time table Of the local ornithol-
ogists tells me that In April should
look for the black-throated green warb-
Ter, the yellow warbler and the black
and white warbler; and while I am
about it may as well keep an eye open
for another perplexing group, the vtreos.
Surely I should not experience any
trouble in telling them from the veeries
or the warbling vireo from the warblers
Yellow-throated vireos should not be
confused with yellow warblers nor red
eyed vereos with white-eyed vireos. AL
you have to do is to walk up to the bird
and look In his eec. It it's red or If It's
white, you know what to call him. I
trust this is just as clear to you as 1t is
to me.
Again. the matter Is made simple for
US by the books, one of which, q classic,
tells US that the white eyed vireo says
"at tshippewat 'wtlrr, tshipeway tsfe
ct tsherr," while the red-eyed vireo
tunes the following lay: "Tshooe pewee
peeai musk du dll, tshoove here heare,
hear here king ritshard, p'shegru

have said that the first bird was the
Norwegian whistler, and the second the
Bohemian waxwing, to Judge by the
way they talk and sing.

Dear Miss Leeds-You have helped

I'D am 20 years old and 5 feet 8
inches tall. weigh 118 pounds and
measure, waist 26, bust 33, hips S6,
ankle and calf 13 inches. Are these
correct?
ca I have brown hair and eyes and
an olive complexion. How can I bleach
my complexion to a lighter shade?
"UGLY."
ID For your weight your propor-
tions are vitually perfect. The weight
is good also, though just trifle under
the average. To be perfect you should
weigh i've or six pounds more than
you do.
ca If your skin is naturally Of the
olive shade 1t would be impossible to
change it to the fair skin which Is
natural for those with light hair and
blue eyes. Anyway, there Is nothing
more attractive than a clear olive skin
with a warm glow beneath It. How
ever, If your skin has been darkened
by exposure you can bleach it and
also prevent it from becoming any
darker by using a weekly bleaching
pack of corn meal and buttermilk. It
is q good plan for those whose skin
is dark to use such pack, for it is
quite true that all skins have o tend
ency to become darker as one grows
older and the weekly bleaching pack
will help prevent this.

Tactile Requirement for Food

the right texture and look tempting to

In actual culinary matters, q tactile
quality signifies "feel" Of the food to
the tongue. Some dishes must be
smooth, such as custard. II 1t is full
of bubbles 1t Is Immediately apparent
to the tongue. Cake, to be its best,
must have Just a suggestion Of creami-
ness in its texture as well as q light

creaminess. If 1t Is not baked suffl-
GENTLY, 1t is not full Of the necessary
air to be light. II cake falls 1t Is too
solid to be creamy. Cake that Is stale
has lost the proper moisture. It be-
comes dry and crIlmbly. The creamy
texture Of q cake is so elusive that even
the best cooks do not get it always. It
Is q tactile suggestion of creamineSs
not detected except by the "feel" on
the tongue.
Jelly and marmalade may have all
the delicious flavor and taste that be-
right tactile quality. The consistency
must not be Of honey, nor should it
be so solid that Immediately the tongue
detects gelatin or some hardening
agent. It must be both smooth and
firm to just the correct degrees.
Macaroons made from almond paste
necessarily have nut particles In them.
They should be crisp outside, soft in
side, and leave infinitesimal particles
OF tasty almonds on the tongue as a
final tactile element. All foods con-
tanning nuts have this quality.
The cook, who Is expert, seeks to have
the tactile element in dishes as decided
as the flavor, for the tongue delights
in the texture as much as the taste.
