Cheerfully Efficient and Compactly Good-looking The Wanda Heater scouts the old idea that a heating stove is neces- sarily a makeshift and unsightly substitute where furnace or steam heat is not supplied. During the coming winter months this type of heater will prove a joy to the housekeeper, for its sturdy fire-keeping quali- ties, and immunity from soot, by reason of a su- perior air-tight construc- tion and large radiating surface. It has a simple system of regulation, and a grate of soft coal, with little attention, will keep burning for 36 hours. The duplex grate burns coal or wood with equal success and the amount of fuel consumed is very | small as compared with other heating methods. For this, the economical hot blast draft is partly re- sponsible. .

Since the middle of August time had passed without anything be ing achieved. Count Burian's note had had no success, Our diplomacy in the face of the enemy's determina tion to destroy it, had a hopeless tank With all this in mind, I came, not suddenly, but bit by bit, from the be- sinning of August onward, and thra many hard toward struggles, to the conclusion that I must act, and I called Seeretary von Hints to Spa September 26.

On this occasion I had not asked for his attendance, as early in September his ladvanced age had been ‘put forward as a reason for not causing him to travel; but I was very glad indeed that he was coming, expecially as I was growing clearer and clearer in my own mind as to the steps that jought to be taken. GREAT DRIVES BY ALLIES In the meantime tremendous fight ling had broken out again in the west Sast of Ypres the entente attacked, aryl over all the old Flanders bat tlefield drove us out of our foremost positions, and, in part, also back over the artillery protective line. We were compelled to withdraw the army to a rearward position. In the direction of Cambrai, on the 27th, a strong enemy attack gaised ground beyond the canal, altho every possible step had been taken to resist them, Further south, up to the Veule, the front held, In Champag d on the western bank of the Meuse a big battle had begun on September 26, French and | American troops attacking with far- reaching objectives.
