On tne other hand the government is bound to adopt and enforce such regula- tions as may be necessary for the passage of traffic and the safety of life. The 'Canadian Motorist," an or- gan that all car owners should read, deals very frankly and fairly with this subject. Concerning the car parking problem it says: "In most cities in the United States and Can- ada restrictions have been placed on the length of time which automo- biles may be left standing on prinei- pal business thoroughfares. The time limit varies considerably, but the Intention of the regulations Is the same everywhere--to prohibit the parking of cars for indefinite periods in locations where they may prove an obstruction to busi- ness and traffic."

Four years ago, Joffre swung back his armies on Paris and th Marne and drew the German hord es into a trap. His strategy com- | pletely fooled the German high com- | mand, and the result was the battle | of the Marne, which wrecked the | German purpose and made possible this day when the Allied armies are | driving the invader back whence he! came. Joffre was able to do what he did because he was a master ot} strategy and because he knew the, German's psychology--his charac- ter, his habits, his soul, black as it is. He knew just what the Germans wonld do. under certain conditions. The 'German leaders were able tac- ticians, but they were utterly ignoi- ant of French psychology, although they lived next door and freely mingled. And the Germahs do not appear to have improved their knowledge of eithér British or French cha- racter in the years since T¥$4.

London, Aug. 31.--The total En- tente allied 'captures on the-western front since) July 18th now approach 120,000 prisoners and 2,000 guns. The British captured more than 21,000 prisoners between August 21st and {26th ,while the British total losses in the same period, including all killed, wounded and missing, were only slightly in excess of that figure. A considerable proportion of the British casualties are in the slightly wounded class. © The total captures by the British since August 8th exceed 47,000 officers and men, and the captured guns number nearly 00. British military observers say it is now clear that the Germans intend to retire to a shorter line vn the western front, wher they can obtain better de- fensive positions against theSonstant- ly repeated Entente. allied blows, and so that the enemy can economize his forces, which has become an urgent necessity on account of his lessening man power. / ' NO AMNESTY EXTENSION.
