Whether this is the old Hindenburg line which was lefs when the spring offensive was started, whother they hope to ac- eomplish it at a point half way be- tween or whether they realize that they have been so demoralized that it will be necessary to go even back of the St. Quentin, Laon line remains to be seen. It is evident, however, that General Foch is not content to let them say where he is going to be stopped. He has the upper hand at the present time and he is making the best kind of use of it Points which were re- covered by especially bloody fighting In previous years are being regained with comparative ease now. Germany Is suffering not only from the serles of successful attacks but from un- favorable conditions among its own troops and the offensive now under- way shows no likelihood of coming to 8 stop for a long time. With the Ger. mans on the run General Foch ap- preciates the importance of keeping them running. e ——— SHIPBUILDING RESULTS. Running up into large figures is the tonnage of vessels lost by the allied and neutral nations since the open- ing of the war. In the past four years 14,024:062 tons of shipping have been sent to the bottom. This makes a biz hole in the merchart, ships of the world for which the enemy and the usnal causes of marine losses are responsible, But the alfled nations, including this. country for the past vear, have not.been idle/in their-efforts to-replace these losses. So rapidly have vessels been constructed'or acquired, that the purpose of the ememy to starve out (Bogland,has boem trastrated and there . ——— NUHWIOH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 54. 1918 are today M sallings than ever to and from British ports. In the past year lacking a few weeks this country has turned out nearly two million tons of ships. It i daily speed- ing up ad is shown by the report for the week ending August 15, when ten ships of nearly 52,000 tons were launched and it is figured according to the rate of production at the pre- sent time and the steadily increasing output that there will be between five and six million tons laufiched this year, including shigs which were un- der construction 'ren the war began. ‘We are beginning thus to feel the effects of the extemsive preparations which were made when it was re- cognized that the need for ships and more ships must be met. Fortunately we have overcome some of the serious handicaps which were experienced at the start and now each month is re- sulting in a greater production than the one. previous. This.is as it should be and the continuation of this good work wil rapidly replace the vessels which have been lost. SHORTAGE OF WAR WORKERS. It is perfectly evident that if this country is going to do all it wants to and all that it should in the pros- ecution_of the war, it is_of the ut- most i iml)ol'mnca that there should be sufficient labor to operate the, indus- tries which are turning out the goods which are depended upon by the sol- diers and sailors for the carrving on| of the fighting.

EDITORIAL NOTES. Many more than the representa- tives of the allied nations are finding Moscow a decidedly unhealthy place. Even with the clothes cut according to the new regulations and to be henceforth without wool the price be- comes snugger. The U-boat commander who sunk the Lusitania is dead but he was acting on orders. There are still liv- ing those higher up. The Teutonic forces are finding that the Americans are striking with all the cleverness of the lightning train- ing which they received The man on the corner says: Some one is always trying to crowd more trouble into life than most people are anxious to wrestle with, With all the talk that is being in- dulged in regarding haircuts at a dollar a sitting, less interest is like- iy_to be taken in hair tonics. Those who are directly concerned should not overlook the fact that this is registration day for young men who have become 21 years of age since June 5. From the criticism by the senate sub-committee which has been look- ing into the airplane business it seems as if Gutzon Borglum ought to be pleased. When it is reported that war gar- dens in certain localitles are exceed- ing all expectations it simply shows what can be accomplished where there's & will. Inasmuch as the kaiser is said to have given the crown prince a six months' vacation there is no telling what may happen to the German army in_the meantime. The German secretary of state says that Germany does not intend to hold Belglum. There are certainly some strong reasons being offered for a change of mind in Berlin.

Did you ever stand by the surf alofie in the early evening and watch the moon rise out of the sea and come wobbling up the sky, taking shape and shrinking in_size as it approached the zenith? 'If you have you know what the poet felt when he wrote: “I stand on the shore alone, the sun is sunk in the sea, the stars arise in the darkening skies one by one, and like angel eyes, thew are gazing where my dead past lies, but they bringdno fear to me.” But there i§ something awe-inspiting about the reach of the beach, the surging of the waves, the whispering of the pebbles and the vastness the ocean, and the spectfal appear- dnce of the vessels dimly seen near the horizon gliding by. No wonder early man thought the sea to be a living _monster; but modern poets sifg: “But the sea, with its waves so wild, is dashing against the shore and ‘though 1 abide in my cell and hidé, my boat is afloat on the flood- ing tide; ah, soon away on the surge I'll ridé, and the werld shall be mine no more!

There is always a laugh on th&l street for you if vou are observing. 1t is good to dream hopeful dreams and cheerful dreams though they never come true.

The dolls four- wheeled carrlage was loaded with hay, and the doll was riding on top as little girls Jike to do in the coun- try; and imagining the solicitude of the mother and her friends for the doll or the hope the doll might realize the pleasures he herself had known on hay days in country fields. This made | a very preity picture. But it have been that this little zirl was bauling the short lawn-grass to a rabbit or guipea pig, and that the doll's ride was merely ineldental to real work. In either case the same seriousness and interest would have been manifested by the little girls, since it was service to a pet or pets which prompted the exercise and the seene.

As new states were admitted to the Union a star ana a stripe were added for cach one. Early in 1818 the original thirteen states had jncreased to twenty, how- ever, and it became evident that a flag ‘of twenty stripes would be rather cidiculoug. The problem was referred to Capt. Samuel Chester Reid. the nav- the mumbre of stripes be reduced and kept at thirteen, to tvpify the original thirteen colonies which threw off the while stars oniy be added to represent new states, was adopted by conzressional action. The first flag of the new tvpe, from which United States since has never varied, was made by Captain Reid's | wife, and bearing thirteen stripes and | twenty stars it was raised over the hall of the House of Representatives April 13, 1818. Captain *Reid was horn in Norwich, Conn., in 1783, and when oniy 11 years old left home and went to sea. Adventures came his way early in life, for the ship he was on was captured by a ‘\French privateer and b i Reid was held a prisoner for six | months.

But the British had not counted on the heroic resistauce of the young com- mander of the privateer and his crew. The British ships were so crippied that they were ten days late in reach- ing New Orleans, and in that time Tackson had made ample prepara- tion to meet them. Had there been no delay at Fayal, New Orleans would have fallen. Reid returned a hero to the States. Enthusiastic crowds, cheering and ap- plauding, greeted him everywhere. The city of New York presented him with its formal thanks and a sword. A few years later came Aanother honor when he was asked by a con- gressional committee to suggest a permanent design for the national em- blem. Captain Reid was a man of sentiment.
