The News From the Front The fall of Soissons and the consequent retirement of German forces beyond the Vesle river, forced by the crushing in of the western side of the salient, proves that the retirement is taking on greater proportions than the most optimistic military critic had hoped for. Cities of strategic importance and vital lines of communication have been taken by the Allies, and American troops, especially in the center, have added new laurels to their record. Reports from the front indicate that the Most High has been unable as yet to establish a line sufficiently strong to hold the allied rush. It fceems now as if he will have to fall back to the Aisne river before he can find a line on which he may offer battle to his pursuers. Military critics believe that the Germans will 'put up a determined resistance when he reaches 'the Aisne line and that he has fortified positions there that will not be taken as easily as the ones crushed in the last two weeks by the Franco'American and British soldiers. This suggests the Uiext step in Foch's strategy. Whether he has decided to keep the offensive now since he has (wrested it from Ludendorf, forcing him to evac-
uate the Soissons-Rheims sector 'from new attacks in the Amiens
sectors, is a question about which any one may
hazard a guess. Unquestionably Foch's genius has turned what seemed a German victory into a defeat and when the history of the 1918 campaign is written, the commanding figure of the illustrious French leader will receive credit such as has been accorded no military man in the last century. Even if he elects to go back to trench warfare, Foch has proved to the Germans that they can be beaten and that their boast of being invincible is as hollow as, their savagery is obvious. In the meantime, Americans are watching with breathless suspense the developments in the Soissons-Rheims sector. The extent of the victory is taking on new proportions each day. General Business Conditions (Duslness review of the Continental and Commercial Bank of Chicago.) General business is exceedingly active and prosperous and the outlook is encouraging. The spirit of co-operation in the undertaking that confronts the government, in conjunction with its allies in prosecuting, the war against the central powers, is the most reassuring feature in the present situation. While there is much to be done in the way of conversion of plant capacity, and individual and corporate energies and facilities
from non-essential to essential war production, yet the prepress that has been made in the first year of the participation of the United States in the war is simply remarkable. An indication of this is found in the safely landing of an army of upwards of one million men in France, to assist

Never has labor in this country been as well paid and as prosperous as at the present moment. This in itself has contributed enormously to the buying power in the retail trade and has tended to steady the retail markets which naturally would be affected by the restrictions on non-essential production. In those districts where there munition plants or where manufacturers are engaged on war contracts, the buying of luxuries is very active, but this is offset in its effect on trade generally, in a measure, by the economy being practiced in other sections not so fortunately situated. Necessarily this tends toward the absorption of the surplus products of the so-called non-essential industries, and when the time comes for a more general practice of economy and thrift in this country, the effect of the readjustment probably will be less disturbing as a result of the exercise of this buying power by those who have experienced a sudden increase in income. Speaking broadly, the testimony of practical business men is that the country is in a strong position for war time. The banking situation is sound, credits are being well handled and collections are universally good ; business men are seeking to keep their affairs as liquid as possible ; ftocks of merchandise, which a year ago were fairly well in hand, have riot been increased to an extent that is menacing and such increase as is in evidence is to fortify against delayed deliveries of new supplies. There is in evidence a determination on the part of the individual to bend his efforts to co-operate in the work of winning the war. Whatever difference of opinion existed a year ago has disappeared. Never in the history of this country, in time of war, has there been such a united nation as at present. The country is in the process of liquefying
has existed in the shape of un-
liquid capital and money. Necessarily this has led to a very considerable expansion in credit, as reflected by bank loans, but so far this has been kept well under control and has not trespassed upon what is commonly regarded as dangerous inflation. It is a growth involving some elements of inflation, it is true, but this expansion of credit has behind it a development of our national resources, the wealth of this country, and to some extent the wealth of its allies, for a very considerable part of the proceeds of the Liberty War Loans subscribed here has been re-loaned to our allies in Europe and hence is a re-investment. Furthermore, a large part of the funds raised through governmental war issues for our own use has been applied to capital investment, which will be available in the development of our commerce and of our industries, following the restoration of peace. These are facts well worth keeping in mind, in studying statistics showing the enormous expansion of credits and the attendant increase in the circulating media.

We are going to give him the giaddeet hand the girls will see to the "glad" eye that was ever outstretched. We are going to say, "Shake,
Sammy!" Hang our native reserve! We can't kill the fatted calf, because the Food Controller won't let us. But we can give them a truer hospitality, a real, heartfelt welcome into our most intimate circles. Every club in Britain ought to open its doors to the men in American khaki; every home ought to take them in and make them feel at home. Don't let us shift our responsibility onto the broad shoulders of the Y. M. C. A. s-.nd similar organizations. The American is a lover of home life. It means everything to him. Let's make Britain a home from home in the real sense. Some one has called this influx of Americans "The Return of the Mayflower."

Suddenly there was a loud bump and a wild wail. It came from the direction of the piano. "Oh, Earl, the baby has hurt himself!" cried Mrs. Decker. "Run quick, read." The young father had already dashed toward the piano. He dropped on his knees and groped under the piano for his injured offspring. Presently he returned. "Oh,' the poor darling! Is it a bad bump?" asked one of the guests. "No," he answered, "fortunately his head hit the soft pedal!" 1 Masonic Calendar Monday. Auer. f TMrimnri mandarv. No. 8. K t statnri " ' r - ivu vuuiavc.

Of What Are We Thinking? By GEORGE BARR McCUTCHEON
WHAT is in the mind of the nervea aquiver, our eyes glowing with American citizen while "The the fire of enthusiasm. Star Spangled Banner" is One thought, one prayer in a hunbelng played? jdred million minds!
Of what are we thinkine?' Are we thinking of the flag and all that it stands for, or are our minds otherwise engaged? Of course, it is reasonably certain that we are thinking of something, but have our thoughts the slightest connection with the message our flag Is carrying to the enemy? We obediently arise with the first sonorous note of the anthem and we remain standing till the end. We have learned or we are learning, to "face the music" more or less at attention, and we are developing the conviction that it' is an offense to chatter while the strains of our war-song, perhaps our death-song, fills our ears. But are we thinking of "The Star Spangled Banner?" Or are we silently urging the musicians t hurry up and be done with it so that we may resume an interrupted occupation? Are we impatiently waiting to take up a broken conversation; a game of bridge; the telling of a story; the reading of a newspaper; the liberal art of criticizing the war department, the navy or the administration; or, what is infinitely more incompatible, exploiting the hateful efficiency of the foe? We sit in public places, and we arise because we are in public places. We suspend for the moment our physical Interests, and we look about us to see if other people are doing the same? Some of us get up grudgingly and stand as we happen to have been sitting, with our back to the music; some of us go on knitting; others of us continue to keep our hands in our pockets and our cigars in our mouths; others think . that nothing more is required of them than the lowering of the voice to an understone; others consider a bland expression of resigna- j tion to be efficient; and some fall into ! an attitude of tolerant submlssiveness. There is little or no evidence of exaltation, no sign of an inward thrill, no suggestion of a profound emotion. The beautiful, inspiring concentration of thought that attends the "Marseillaise" is lacking; the fullhearted sensation that glorifies "Rula Britannia" is absent; even the fervor of the Teuton as symbolized in guttural acclaim is sadly wanting. We, me most imaginative, mo mu aici l ptfopie in the world, are totally de void of imagination during the rendi tion of our war-song. Why should we not think, or even pray, as the French, the English and the Germans think and pray while their song of hope is being sounded? "The Star Spangled Banner' is our battle-song. It goes into the thick of the fight with our flag and our boys. It emphasizes our hopes, our aims, our longings; and of what are we thinking we who stay at home while its strains are falling upon our ears? Are we, so to speak, uiaying the game? Why shouldn't we, one and all, great and small, think alike.for as long as five minutes in eacp day? Let there be but one thoujht, one prayer, while the hymn is fringing. From one end of this great lad to the other let this be the beginning of our prayer the instant the 'band strikes up "The Star Spangled Banners' "God be with our flag ant our soldiers and our arms wherever they may be!" i And let this be the end of our devout, intensified prayer as the last note dies away: "God give us victory! Not perfunctorily, not as a matter of duty, but with our hearts in it, our WILL TEACH AT GUILFORD Francis C.

IT is characteristic of folks afier they pass the allotted ' three' scoro years and ten," to look back fver the days that are gone and thoughtfully live them over.

as we face the enemy! For, after all, this Star Spangled Banner of ours is facing the foe in a far-off land, and there is no other direction in which we may look. Our men go with the banner to the music of guns; we stand at home and fact, not the guns, but a group of fiddlers! Our thoughts, our prayers, nevertheless, should be the same as theirs. Our silent prayer, however brief, should be for victory. Let us always utter it, one and all, while "The Star Spangled Banner" is being played. "God give us victory!"

The thousands of letters frcm users have convinced me I was right, and that the user of Mature' Remedy as a family medicine, even though he may have used "it for twenty-five years, neyer has to increase the dose. My knowledge of medicine and the results of its use in my own family and among my friends, before I ever offered it for sale, caused me to have great faith in Nature's Remedy from the very first. And now as I find myself nearing the age when I must bow to the inevitable and go to another life, my greatest pleasure is to sit each day and read the letters that each mail brings from people aa old or older than 'I, who tell of having used Nature' Remedy for ten, fifteen and twenty years, and now they and their children ana grandchildren have been benefitted by it. It is a consoling thought, my friends, for a man at my age to feel that aside from his own success, one has done something for his feliow man.

Notice to Druggists Price Advance For over a year now we have succeeded in maintaining our old prices, principally by virtue of a big increase in sales, which reduced our overhead cost. For our fiscal year ending July 1, 1918, our sales amounted to over a million dollars an increase of 58 over the preceding year. We had hoped to bridge the war period without a change in prices on Vick's VapoRub but we find that our econ omies do not keep pace with our rising costs. It Is with sincere regret, therefore, that we are forced to announce an increase, effective August 1, which will make it necessary to retail VapoRub at 30c, 60c and $1.20 The Vick Chemical Co.
