On several occasions, says Popular Science Monthly, when an executive's assistant desired to converse with his superior the former was busy on the telephone, so he had to wait. 'To open the door every few minutes for the purpose of looking in or to have the operator notify you when the recelver has been hung up is’both an- Noying and time-consuming. A private concern has installed an inexpensive evice which eliminates the embar- rassment. The executive's telephone has an ex- -tra connection which automatically lights a small blue light at the assist- ant’s office when the former is using his phone. As soon as the executive hangs up the receiver the light goes ‘ont and the assistant knows that his superior 1s accessible. ‘ “phe device, which is very inexpen- sive, consists of two pieces connected ‘ with wires which run through the cord to the assistant’s office. Wild Anima! Shipments. Yellowstone National park is grow- ing in importance as a propagating and distributing center for certain kinds of wild animals. During Febru- ary last 55 elk, 13 of which were bulls, were shipped to points in four states Idaho, Iilinols, Texasz‘and Minnesota. The Yellowstone contains more wild animals in a state of nature than any other. preserve in the world. It is the policy of the department of the In- ihibad to part with superfluous elk, male ‘alo, beaver and bear to federal, ite, . county ‘and: mvntcipal authori- > ttes, for exhibition and propagation, where laws exist whith. will properly protect them. !- Tea Dealers’ Troubles. Tea dealers-claim that since the be- ginning of the. war their profits have dwindled considerably. Since 1914. ocean frefghts ‘have increased more than 600. per cent; and in ad- dition to the increase In freight rates there {s a high rate of war insurance ‘quite apart from marine insurance. ‘The cost of tea at the gardens in-Cey- Jon and India has also increased, priq- cipally because the British govern- ment takes a large part of the output. A Canadian tea dealer said lately that tea consumers {n Canada were fer served in quality for price than any other country in the world. ‘Bees Save Sugar. “In this year /of war, with & short. .fage of sugar, more farmers will find it profitable to keep: bees, and the man who now keeps bees will find it profitable to ‘give them better care,” gays Farm and Fireside, adding: “Tons of honey go to waste every year through lack of bees and through fail- ure to care for bees ‘a the most eff- cient way.

Jacques Swaah, of New-York City.- On his return from a fiight over the liners, he, shot downan enemy machine. The victories have been reported, and official confirmation of hem is now being sought. LAUNCH ATTACK. ‘American Forces on the Lorraine Front, Sépt. 12—French and American forces this morning launched an attack on the Ger- man position,on both sides of the Mihiel salient. The weather is fine. The attacks made by the French and | Americans was the most daring one. The attack _was preceded by a barrage lasting four hours. The attack on the south side of the Miniel salient was on a distance of twelve miles. THere has ‘been a great concentration of Franco-American artillery and allied aeroplanes are operating in large numbers; The Germans are now falligg back on each side of the St. Mihiel salient. Although suspicion of the intentions of the Americans in this region, the Germans were unaware of the direction of the attack. The Americans are all intensely eagre and fighting magnificently. PEASANTS ENTER MOSCOW. t ‘London, Sept. 12.—Russian peasants who revoltéd against the Bolsheviki a few days ago are reported to’ have entered Moscow and to have been joined by a large force of the native inhabitants of that city. «=. SURE VICTORY PREDICTED. ‘Premier Lloyd. George said he was for a league of nations and that in fact a league had already been begun. The British Empire ‘he sajd was a league of free nations fighting the battle for inter- national freedom dnd right. “To end all wars,” the Premier said, “we must impose a durable peace from-our enemies. The Prussian military power must not only be beaten but Germany herself must} know and the German people must know that her rulers have out- raged the laws of humanity and that Prussian strength cannot pro- tect them from punishment., This must be the last war,” the Premier'said. “Don’t let us ‘be\misled that the establishment of a league of nations without power will in itself secure the world tary power triumphant, would be a league of fox and geese, one fox and fanny geese. The geese would greatly diminish in number.” , FURTHER PROGRESS. a The Hindenburg line itself, however, already has not proved too strong for either the French or British-at some points in the recent fighting. ‘The British breeched it On thé Drocourt-Queant line,-and today came the official announcement from London that ithe British had’ made further progress on this line behind Cam- brai.
