From present indications the fourth drive of the Teutonic forces has been brought to a halt, and in much quicker time, with greater loss of life ind with the loss of far iess territory than in any of the previous attacks. Tt can hardly be said that it was con- ducted with less determination or with the throwing of fewer divisions into the fight considering the extent of the eraztions, but it is apparent that the allies were not only ready in antici- pation of just such a move at this time amd place but that they were prepared’ with men and gups to offer the best kind of resistance. owwing the fi shock of the with great numbers who were ¥ ed forward regardless of the slaughter sustained, it was evident that they ‘were due for a different re- ception than they received following the taking of the Chemin des Dames. They succeeded in bending back the line for a few miles but in the four days’ operations they have penetrated e allied territory only to a depth of six miles and while this has been go- ng on they have suffered the loss of a few points in that very loca- m to say nothing of the allied suc. cess which has been attained on other fronts. Even with the drive undemvay in full force they have been promptly beld and the way in which Foch’s re- serves have driven them back along e western end of the line shows the spirit and fisht of the men being faced. Thue again have the German generals been blocked far from their objectives, witheut any serious loss to the allies. I PUSHING THE SHIPBUILDING. Reports which are being made re- rarding the awcomvlishments of the shipyards @re 0ox: encourusing. After 2 bad stazt and ™t a little trouble in getting the Slg job properly organ- ized shipbuilding appears tc he strik- ing its gait in a manner w cates that the need of ships, more ships, is going to be fulfilied in such a manner as to make it evident even to Admiral Vom Tirpitz that the underwater boats in spite of all the ruthlessness which they are practic- ing canont win the war. According to the record established last month we are now producing ships at the rate of over two and a third 2 day, a gain of more than half a ship a day over April and with the work progressing so nicely that Chair- man Hurley of the shipping board pre- dicts that in 1920 we will have a mer- chant marine of over 25,000,000 tons, This is as it should be and it indi- cates that the building of ships will increase much faster in the future than it has in the past. Although in the month of January the output was only a little over 100,000 deadweight tons, it was three times that in May and with over a million tons already completed in the past five months it is figured that the next sesven months will result in such additions that the year's total will reach at least three giving the country with what it now possesses a total of about 12,000,000 tons in round figures. With the prediction that this will be doubled in the ecoming year some idea of the extensive para- tions for ship conmstruction /in this country can be obtained, and it is to| Way in which German-Americans have be sincerely hoped that Chairman Hurley's estimate is not overdrawn. A TIMELY APPEAL. There can be no question but what the appeal which has been made by President Wilson to the American Federation of Labor and the Ameri- can Allfance for Labor and Democ- racy, in convention at St. Paul, is de- cidedly timely, for the part which la- bor can play in the conduct of the war is of the greatest importance and nothing should be allowed to stand in the way of full cooperation. The president well says: “No con- troversy between capital and labor should be permitted to Interfere with prosecution of the war until every in- strumentality set up by the govern- ment has been employed to settle it.” This is a time when everyone should |aerial attacks.

Again his glance wildly sought the Indian blak- ets and he thought grimly that no doubt his Hair would be in perfect harmony with such a covering, for he felt it rising at the thought of con- fronting the elegant Mrs. Winston. No, he would not confront her, he would dare anything but that, and during an interval when all was dark Paul darted out into the storm:and round to the bathrpom window, which, he remembered, was open about an inch. It was soon open wide enough to admit the person of Pauj, and when he was safely on his feet he peeped out on the porch and saw the surprised and mystified Winstons turn away from his door. “Do you think it could have been a burglar?” questioned Mrs. Winston of her husband as they cowered under their umbrellas and hurried down the path. Just what Winston may have said in reply was happily lost in a severe clap of thunden{ Paul, shivering vigorously under a belated bathrobe and with his hair dripping wet, went to the place of Perdita’s peaceful slumber. “Didn’t you hear me?” he demanded, and the thunder had got into his voice and this time she did hear him, and she listened with - half-awakened interest to the story of his adventure.

STORIES OF THE WAR The “City of Dreadful Night” Dunkirk, “The City of Dreadful Night,” it is pointed out by a cor- respondent of the Daily Mail, has been mentioned perhaps more often ‘in French communiques during this war than any other city. There are weeks when it is rare for a com- munique not to include with the words, ‘©nemy . airplanes dropped bombs on Dunkirk during thg night,” or “A long-range gun has fired into Dunkirk.” That seaport, the nearest of all to the firing line, is now scarcely less dear to the hearts of the French peo- ple than Verdun, and, like Verdun, it has been decorated for its courage under fire.. Recently France's biggest ship was launcheq there.

Bedrooms, instead of being on the upper floors of the houses, are now in the cellars, and public dugouts dot the town as do the air raid shelters of London. Scarcely a house or wall in the town remains without ite record of the enemy's continual efforts to destroy Dunkirk. MEN WHO CAME BACK AFIRE 2500 FEET ALOFT. By Capt. C. ¥. Campbell Highland Light Infantry Attached Royal Flying Corps One day I was asked to try a new machine of a type totally different from any I had flown. I throttled it down and tavied out onto the aero- drome and took off. The weather was exceptionally dull that day, and Iwas tooling along about 2,500 feet over {Kent County when I heard a loud banging in the air intake pipe that was just at my back. It didn’t bother me at first because I was used to it when the petrol mixture was low in another type of machine, A louder hoise—a sort of coughing sound—and I looked around. I saw a long streak of flame running out of the back of the engine and ca‘ching on to my tail plane. T was pretty much excited, and shut my throttle off. But that move did not help mat- ters. 1 figured that the engine had back- fired and somehow or other had got the flame up into the tank. I made up my mind to a quick trip down. I poked my nose down at a sharp an- gle, frantically looking back at the blaze going up behind me (the ma- It might as well be understood that any who cross the line from Rhode will not be welcomed.
