AD we only the official war bulletins from Berlin we should conclude that the French drive in Champagne had failed, that only positions of no strategic value whatever remained in the hands of the forces that made the asSault, that the British were losing at Loos whatever they won (and almost as fast as they won it), and, in short, that the German resistance was indeed inflexible. _. On the other hand, Paris estimates the German losses in Cham- Pagne and Artois at 120,000 (the effective strength of three array - corps), and Field Marshal Sir John French reports “further progress” _ near Loos, with the British pressing on the German third line, z It may be difficult for some days to get an exact notion of waat has happened. The clearest indication of which way the wind is really blowing, however, is an announcement in German newspapers * that two generals have been dismissed from German commands in the \ western war zone, and the rumor that a new commander in chief is sought for the German armies in the west. If it should prove, as the despatch hints, that von Hindenburg is » to be tlie man, we shall see pitted against each other the two generals who have shown themselves so far the greatest of the present war. Von Hindenburg has proved his ctrength by rapid, almost inces- “sant movement through broad areus. He has pushed here and tnore in the Gist, constantly in action, acclaimed continually for energy and success. Joffre,'on the othet hand, has distinguished himself mainly by} his masterly restraint, withstanding all temptations to'do aught but _ hold the enemy with the greatest possible saving of men until ammu- * nition and recerves had accumulated in needful quantities behind the eect tnmeaniananinre LANDSCAPE WRECKERS.

His was the promise, the prac- tice of which was YET to come, But Mabel looked only at the possibilities of her hero, And one day in a lob- ster palace during one of his witty speeches in which he shone particu- larly brilliant she agreed to take him “for better or worse.” Then they be- gan living on his wit; and many @ time she was at her wit's end to make both ends of livelihood meet.
