' And only a few short months ago we were discussing the remote possibility of anything but a slow, grinding conflict between lines that bent here and there but never broke—the outcome to be settled by « grim process of attrition! Open warfare, warfare of movement, has come—only the move- ment app2ars to be taking the form of a colossal German retreat before the resistless pressure of Allied and American armies all along the line—a movement so vast that we cannot yet grasp separately the engagements which have produced and intensified it. It is all one huge battle, sustained day after day, week after week, each phase and attack of which is like a great campaign in itself, yet fitting perfectly into the master plan of the Commander in Chief. How well Marshal Foch knew what he meant last month when, in almost the only public utterance he has made since the beginning of his great cffensive, he gave that significant twist to his word «e © © it will not be so easy for Germans to recover after the hard events they are about to experience.” Osten. and Lille in one day! a So No more “safe and sane” Sabbaths for the pedestrian who has been tast{ng the almost forgotten joys of footing {t in the middle of the road.

OYAL householders, war-tax payers, Thrift Stamp buyers and C preset is content not even to try to keep up with the swift Liberty Loan subscribers hereabout appreciate justice. the Press Publishing Company, Nos, 63 to Plain justice is what they see in Federal action which calls 234 retail butchers of Greater New York before the Food Board to answer charges of profiteering. @ New Yorkers yield to no other part of the ‘American public in their willingness to meet the demands, make the sacrifices and shoul- der the burdens of war. But while, along with other Americans, they are saving food, buying Liberty Bonds and War Saving Stamps and preparing to pay the heaviest taxes they have ever paid, they think it only right and reasonable that they should be able to look to the Federal Govern- ment for protection from price boosters and profit grabbers who put the cost of the plainest living at higher and higher levels. In its campaigns against retail food profiteers The Evening World has always emphasized the right of the patriotic consumer to feel that what he saves in food or money for war needs is not going to be taken from him, either in whole or in part, by the increas- ing rapacity of those from whom he must buy the common neces- sities of life. A people striving to meet every demand of great war and at the same time adjust itself to the economic derakgements resulting from war is entitled to every safeguard Government can provide against private raiding and exploitation. It is unfair to ask housekeepers to save food and at the same time leave the family budget at the mercy of retail price boosters. It is unfair to restrict, on patriotic grounds, the quantity of food served in restaurants and hotels and at the same time permit the pro- prietors of these public eating places to go on marking up menu prices as they diminish portions, It is unfairness of a sort that does not react favorably on the minds of people who are being constantly urged to fresh sacrifice and self-denial. The Federal Food Board’s investigation of the 234 New York butchers charged with profiteering will be regarded by the public hereabout as simple justice to which it has long been entitled Such investigations would come better at the beginning of a Liberty Loan campaign than at the end. It appears to be the open season on Lenine, OO Letters From the People Free Nautical Schools Oveg. = |Romans, in the war against Perstus, \git = day age porrwery-iripg New [Kins Of Macedon, desirous to get 80 The Free Nautical Schools of much tme as he wanted to prepare York, maintained by the Unitéd|iis army, puve out sonee copeee Beates Power Squadrons, Ine, have] jcoorg wierewtay. a already given instruction to more| (000 Wier ne King, ine than 3,000 men, ‘These schools are|\°!2/°4. yielded Into @ truce for cer- tain days; by w ei now organizing new classes which are |nished his sen mie Mocaeieite open to every one interested, The fact|and leisure to arm himself, wherest that most of the classes are held tn |procecded the King's last ‘ruin aa the evening and that there is no nec- | °Vertirow," essity for taking up more than a single study makes it possible for men who are otherwise very busy to take one of two subjects which are most interesting.

HE quickest way of spoiling a child is to give foolish com- 60 if you want your child to Yo disobedient, care- less, lazy and dis- respectful, jJuet give some foolish commands, Let us consider a few, A mother writes to me: “I certainly had a terrible time with Chester this morning. He took his shoes and stockings off to &0 barefooted when it was too chilly, I told him to put them back on as quick as he could. He refused, saying, ‘No, I don't want to,’ As punishment for re~ fusing I ‘had him stand tn one corner of the room. But he would hot remain there unless I stayed right with him and made him, ‘Whippings, I have found, only make him worse, What should I have done?” ’ After your boy refused to de one thing it was very unwise to command him to do another, This method is very often used, but as @ rule it does wuch more harm than good. The trouble with it is that you are work- ing against the child instead of with him, You antagonize him. And the moment you seem to combat your child he immediately takes up arms |egainst you. The less time that you spend ia combat with your child tho better it will be for you. You can be firm without losing @ bit of your friend- ship. And by showing a calm atti- | tude you will secure much better re- |jultas than if you allow your temper to go uncontrolled, A better policy to adopt when your boy refuses to obey a command, in- stead of commanding him to do other things, is to quietly approach him, wnd when he stands directly in front of |you give him one more chance to |obey the original command, Say in ‘a very low voice, looking him straight in the eye, “You probably will not want me to deprive you of some privilege that I have planned for you next week, You may go now and do as I suggested.” After saying thts, it Is up to the boy to decide his own fate, 1f he goes, all good and well; if he does not, make it @ point some minutes later, after big mind and f yg Talks to Parents By Ray C.

And don’t change your mind about it at the last minute, Simply talk about his not being able to go, in @ matter-of-fact way suggesting that you hope you can take bim next time. Parents so frequentty put them- selves into a box by Issuing thought- less commands. How often we hear mothers say to their children, “Sit down and be quiet a minute,” when other children in the same company are up and acting! They never Suggest anything to occupy their hands or minds while sitting—simply 4 foolish command, that's all, Equally foolish 1s the command, “Come here,” when a child is running away from you. It never is obeyed (unless the child has had special training), and so giving the command weakens your influence in the future. Perhaps two of the most common kinds af foolish commands are the half-hearted command and the re- peated command. Some mothers have the habit of issuing commands while talking to another person and in a moment seem to forget that they had requested anything at all. Others give a command and feel it is neces- sary to keep repeating it, “Come in now, Hurry up, quickly; Charles, I said, hurry. Come to mother.” it any wonder we have so many dis- obedient children?
