: " ' The West Front ' Fear of a determined and perhaps successful German offensive on the west front disturbed the minds of Americans for several weeks. Basis for the fear can be traced to the elimination of the Russians on the east front and the dash of the. Kaiser's troops against Italy. The lack of equipment for our own army and the assertion of Germans that the Allies will be defeated before we are able to supplant France's depleted man power, was another disquieting factor. It is difficult for the layman to understand gigantic military operations, partly because he does not possess the military knowledge to grasp the situation, and partly because in the very nature of the case, all military facts are not laid down before him but are carefully, and rightly so, kept secret by the high military authorities. Hence, we are not in a position to judge with accuracy about the exigencies of the western front. That the much advertised thrust of the Germans on .the western front, which was to come this week, did not materalize in fact, can be seen by scanning the war reports. No one can say with assurance, however, that it has been postponed and will not come before the New Year. Philip Gibbs, a writer of the New York Times, attached to west front headquarters, in a communication to his paper believes that the Germans will not try an ambitious offensive this year. His reasons succinctly stated are : First, Lack of time to prepare for the blow. Vast accumulations of munition, concentration of big gun's, building of new roads and railroads, and concentration of reserves are absolute prerequisites. This work has not been done. Secondly; The number of divisions taken from Russia are not so large as the common people believe they are: The German general staff in the past has been picking men out of these divisions and sending them to the west front in drafts of 300 and 400 men, the result being that the divis

ions left on the, Russian. front are made up . of boys and men of little military training. y v If the offensive is made, it will be because in ternar conditions in Germany demand that the army show some activity to quiet the clamor. Gibbs believes the morale of the German soldiers has not been impaired, and neither he nor the Allies underestimate their fighting ability.

Patience and Cowardice By Cardinal Gibbons. As an evidence of the righteousness of America's cause in the war, I would point, to the patience of our President and Congress under the long series of grave injuries and broken pledges endured by the United States during the time that Germany was professing its friendship for us. We were shocked to see our property unjustly destroyed in vast quantity, but what was immeasurably more serious, to read of our men, women and children killed in violation of the universally accepted customs of the sea. When at length not only American citizens but neutrals everywhere suffered appallingly under the cruelties of a nation which hesitated not to disregard international law we learned that patience was being construed as cowardice, and that it was folly to hope that ; wiser counsels would prevail among our enemies to bring about a change in their lawless policy. Then we took the only course open to us, the defense of our sovereign rights as a nation and the upholding of the ideals of truth and justice in the hearts of all peoples. We have entered into the struggle with a clean conscience, seeking no territorial or financial gain, but the peace of the world, the liberty of its people, and the security of all nations.

Marriage Does Increase the Will Power From the American Magazine. am inclined to believe that marriage does increase I the will power, for when a man marries he at once makes up his will to succeed. He wants to earn more money in order that he may give his wife the things that successful men give their wives. He eliminates time-wasting amusements and bad habits that were relict of his bachelor days. Marriage sobers him and gives him poise. Opportunities neglected through sheer indolence in his bachelor days are now eagerly seized. His hands are on the rounds of the ladder that leads to success, and his wife is behind him, waiting to boost him up. " "Many bachelors achieve a fair measure of success, and then stick in one place all the rest of their lives. They lack initiative because they haven't any incentive to do bigger things. , This is very true In the cases of men who have no one dependent on them. If they had a wife, or a mother or sisters, solely dependent upon them, they would exert their wills to some purpose. Lacking this, they are satisfied to let well enough alone."

"And young?" interrupted the lad3'. "Ye5, and very rich." The beautiful lady grasped the fortune teller's hands and pressed them bard. "Thank you," she said. "Now tell me one thing more: How shill I get rid of my present husband?" The young private had been posted as sentry on B squadron stables. But when the sergeant of the guard came round on his visit he was nowhere to be seen. The seargeant was about to depart to make inquiries when there came a rustling noise from a heap of straw, and the sentry stood before him, minus his boots and looking very sleepy. . "Halloa!" cried the sergeant, "where were you when I came round just now?" "Marching round." was the sentry's reply, given in tones of conscious virtue. "Marching round, were you? Why, you've got your boots off!" "Yes, sergeant; I took 'em off so that I wouldn't wake the horses!" Some one asked John D. Rockefeller why he was so seldom seen at public dinners. "Well," replied the millionaire, "in the first place I don't eat much, and while you don't have to eat

Good Winter Quarters and a Full Sll o Guarantees of Rapid Beef Gains. There are few combinations of feed which are more economical than a ration of corn silage and cottonseed meal for wintering stocker cattle. One pound of cottonseed meal per day combined . with what corn silage - stocker steers will eat will cause them to gain slightly in weight. As there has been a constant tendency for some breeders to incline more to the dairy type of animals, while others prefer to develop the beef tendencies, there has been, and prob

ably always will be, a wide variation in tbe types of dual-purpose animals. The straight corn diet, which many hogs receive from one year's end to the other, lessens vitality. The researches of the Wisconsin Experiment Station have shown that this is probably brought about by retarding the development of the vital organs. Intestinal worms, lung worms, and skin parasites levy a burdensome tax upon the profits of hog raising. Absolute cleanliness will be found valuable in preventing and controlling these troubles, as well as the more .serious diseases hog cholera and tuberculosis.

WASHINGTON "Jacques, you will never be able to forgive me. A week ago I was so chaste and pure and now " Jacques Revilly read no more of the letter he found his sweetheart, Marguerite, writing to him. He crushed the letter in his hand and started to stalk from the room. "Please, please, read the whole let

It was an astonishing story which the letter revealed and you will be intensely interested in it when you see "The Awakening," the charming new World-Picture Brady-Made which will be shown today at the Washington theatre with Montagu Love and Dorothy Kelly as the stars.
