ALOTMENT8.

f^cai hoards fsave been IftfoFrHed as to the new provisions of the rule covering soldiers' allotments. The amount which every enlisted man, under the new ruling, Is how required to allot to his wife and* children, irrespective of the amount of pay which he is receiving, is $15. For each man getting over $30 this will be a reduction. If lje A ••••,. Wishes to continue to contribute to his wife and children the same amount as

before, he may make a new allotment for the difference through the war department or navy department. Thus, for cxample,~lf he had formerly allotted $18 to his wife and children, and wishes to- cdntinue to do so, he must make a n«w allotment of $3 through the war or navy departments, as the -t bureau of war-risk insurance will in the future handle, only the $15 compulsory allotment Prompt notice of these facts has been sent to them In all branches of the military and naval service, but It will, of course, require some time for the. new forms to be executed and returned to Washington.

Many men may decide that they do not wish to continue to allot as much as before- In such cases the government cahnot compel them to keep up the former allotments, and the family i may receive only the minimum compulsory allotment of $15 and the same government allowance aa befor*.

COME ON IN.

Lady Rhondda, Widow of the late Viscount Rhondda, British food controller, is going to claim her rights as peeress to sit in the house of lords.

All of which recalls a remark made by the late viscount on a certain occasion in regard to foodstuffs!, "What's rood enough for me is good enough for my old woman."

Whether the hotisfc 0# lords wou!fl •ubscrihe to that statement, whether

Lord Rhondda himself vould agree, has nothing to .do with the. .case, trala! •. "i-

He& ladyship Is determined, like her fictional fellow patriot, Mr. Britling, to "see it through," ar.- she has perfectly good reason on her side.

Her procedure, it is said, will be to apply to the crown office for a writ of summons to parliament, and then, according to the reply received, it would be seen whether a woman is or still is not a person under common law with regard to certain privileges.

This royalty business is rather confusing to us anyway. Queen Victoria ruled quite long and successfully, and seemingly nobody raised any rumpus because she was a lady.

In fact England has done notably well in the queen business. Nobody ever accused Queen Elizabeth—if We remember our Eng. Hist. Optional correctly—of not being able to hold her own under any circumstances. There are plenty of precedent for English women mixing into politics clear back along the centuries. Certainly Lady Rhondda Is not proposing anything new.

PPE8TO, CHANGE.

The reason why the German Army began its retreat, as given by Gen. Ludendorft to the newspaper correspondents, is very simple. Having been caught in a place .where they could not stay without- enormous losses and the risk of annihilation, the Germans got out. That is really the meaning of the general's statement, and his claim that he saw his danger quickly and moved out without undue loss will be admitted.

But when Ludendorff tries to belittle the success of Gen. Foch, he does not do so well. "Gain of grounds," he says, and **the Marne" are only catchwords of the war, meaning, apparently, that his own loss of ground is of no importance and that the possession of the line along the Marne is not valuable.

Why, ft gain of ground is oftiy a catchword, did he lead his troops to slaughter in order to gain the ground that he has just lost? He pays his great reason for retiring was to save him men. He might have sared thousands upon thousands more if he had kept out of the pocket he Just gave up.

One concludes that gain of ground is a catchword when the French gain and an object worthy of bloody sacrifice when the Germans move forward. The Marne was no catchword for Kluck until he was driven away from it, and not for Ludendorff, either, while he was trying to reach or hold it

This may be true, but you would never find it out from Mr. Kennedy's article. /He mentions as American humorigfts Finlev Peter Dunne, George Ade, George Fiteh, Gelett Burgess, Oliver Herford, Tom Masson, F. P.

Adams, Tom Daly, Bert Leston Taylor,. Don Marquis, Mpntague Glass, Ring Lardner,' Juliare'^Street and George Randolph Chested As English humorists (living), he mentions Barry Pain, Jerome K. Jerome and W, W. Jacobs. He says there axe a lot more and that they are much bettgr thaa^ours, but he does not name therii^

Again he 6ays: "What have we to place beside Lewis Caroll, W. C* Gilbert, Jerome K. Jerome, W. ~W. Jacobs, and other .English makers of Facetiae?" Why not mention Chaucer, Tom Hood and Douglass Jerrold while he is about it? Since he has adduced two dead men, in a list of four, We may fairly answer that we have Mark Twain, Bill Nye, John Godfrey Saxe and Benjamin Franklin. However, the list of American humorists he gives himself contains a good enough answer.'tp his ^uestion-^though he strangely omits Irvin Cobb.

Eating more than he was able, Tommy died at breakfast table. "Please," said little sister Meg, "May I have his other egg?"

This, Mr. Kennedy consider# typically British |tnd "meaty." Yet this style of. brutal quatrain was invented many year's a^o by American college magazines." There wfere hundreds of them. This, from a recent issue of the Cornell Widow, is a sample: Now Robert, in'a state of choler, Thrust his head 'neath a big steam roller, And, my! we are surprised to find How it has broadened Robert's mind. "Mr. Kennedy may have a ©ase," says Ted Robinson in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "but he has not presented it in a conclusive manner. Let us help him a bit... We will admit—we have done so beforo—that the English have better writers of humorous verse than we have. Punch proves that. We have produced no Calverly, no Owen Seajnon. And there is a certain style of farcical novel and another style of quizzical essay writing to which the English show inorte finish and more skill than we jio. But as to facetiae— we shall not yield the palm until Mr. Kennedy names his British artists by name. And then we'll give him an argument." ,.

Blasts German Hopes

German strategy, Eke the Marne salient, presents a diMnislied front as the result of ^rFoch's July counter-offensive, brilliantly aided by General JEIaig, and our own General id Pershing with his fighting Americans. Even the Frankfurter Zeitung admits that "Foeh'g attack threatens the whole of Hindenburg's plans," and this admission is interpreted by the Philadelphia North American to mean "that the most ambitious of Germany's 1018 offensives has collapsed, and that the invaders, weakened in fighting strength, in morale, and in prestige, must laboriously build up the structure of a new Campaign." And, as further foreshadowing Germany's doom, a correspondent of the Amsterdam Handelsblatt says, "from America issues a force against which no European nation can stand. It is a 7' gigantic force which is developing calmly and scientifically,, The German people have not seen what I have seen."

To gain a succinct and accurate knowledge of the great victory of the. allies in the Marne salient, its initiative, its progress, and what it augurs for the future, you should read the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for August 10th. It is accompanied by a full-page map which clearly visualizes the present battle line, and the towns, villages, rivers, woods, etc., through which the Allied forces haVe fought during the past thirty days.
