) || NKOTES ANDCGOMMENTS Ii At the beginning of the Great War one of the lessons most deeply imâ€" pressed upon the world was the efficiâ€"‘ ency with which the Germans had marshaled the forces of science and inâ€" vention to further their purpose to impose Kultur upon an unwilling and | backward civilization. _ It was not that the Germans excelled in discovâ€", ery and inventive genius, but that they had the foresight to utilize what had been done by others. _ In the matter| of aviation, for example, they mlyl followed the French initiative, but in the development of the Zeppelins they | secured a lead which the Allies have| not been able to overcome. _ Even in the adaptation of the aeroplanes to, military uses they would seem to have | outdistanced their opponents at the beginning, but as in other matters: that development proceeded along: lines so rigid that the slightest deâ€"| rangement of the preâ€"ordained plans‘ of the General Staff created obstacles| which interposed a fatal check to proâ€"| gress. â€" So perfect did they deem their Taubes and their battleplanes that de-' signs and materials were sundardiz-] ed to a degree that destroyed initiaâ€" tive and flexibility, and the result hasl been that supremacy in this field has passed to the Allies, | The explanation may be found, perâ€" haps, not only in the discovery and apâ€" plication of better methods in the manufacture and operation of airghips, by nations unhampered by blockade, but in the fact that the military aviaâ€" tors of both countries were not bound to officially appointed ru‘es and lines of action. _ Their very unpreparedâ€" ness brought into service every availâ€" able type of plane and engine and both have grown amazingly under the spur of dire necessity. This versatility and adaptability has been shown in all other lines of military activity. _ Greater and more powerful artillery has been brought to bear upon the German lines, means have been found to counteract the deâ€" vilish innovations of "frightfulness" â€"the attacks by gas and fireâ€"and now comes the startling announcement of an armored monster in the service of the British that sweeps over the battlefield despite trenches and enâ€" tanglements, making easy that rollâ€" ingâ€"back process that is becoming so serious for the invaders of French and Belgian soil. No more amazing aspect of the war has been presented in its later phases than the extent to which acrial superâ€" jiority has been seized by the French and British. It cannot be doubted that a great measure of the success achieved by the Allies in their desperâ€" ate drive on the Somme has been due to the fact that they have to a certain extent secured command of the air to the exclusion of their foe, and could direct their attacks with a certainty that was impossible to soldiers fightâ€" ing in the dark.

Halfâ€" way to the third trench we were reâ€" inforced. The ground in our rear was covered with our men. All at once eame a change. The German artillery in front ceased firing, and the next second we saw the reason why. In the trench ahead the German troops were pouring out in black masses and advancing toward us at a trot. Was it a counterâ€"attack? Then, as suddenâ€" ly our own artillery ceased firing and the mystery became plain. The Gerâ€" mans were approaching in columns of four, officers to the front, hands held in the air; and as they came closer we could distinguish the steady cry, "Kameraden! Kameraden!" "Joshua," said she to her husband one evening. "I saw in this morning‘s paper that old Mr. Biffer died on Satâ€" urday." "It was a mistake," mumbled Joshâ€" ua, as he bent down to unlace his shoes; "he died on Friday." "But the paper said Saturday," rsâ€" peated Mrs, Wiseman, firmly. "I know it did," perststed Joshua, "but it was an error in the print." "I thought that at first," said the lady decidedly, "but I got half a dozen copies of the paper and it was the same in all of them. _ And they cerâ€" tainly couldn‘t have made the same mistake over and over again like They were surrendering. Out flew our knives, and in less time than it takes to tell it we had mingled among the prisoners, slicing off their trouser buttons, cutting off suspenders and hacking through belts. We cut the laces off all their shoes, and thus slopâ€" ping along, their hands helplessly in their breeches pockets to keep their trousers from falling round their ankles, shuffling their feet to keep their boots on, the huge column of prisoners was sent to the rear with a few soldiers to direct rather than to guard them. As the Germans had left the trenches, their artillery had paused, thinking it a counterâ€"attack. Now, as file after file was escorted to the rear and it became apparent that the men had surrendered, the German arâ€" tillery opened up again furiously. Six shells landed at the same instant in almost the same place, and within a few minutes Section 3 of our company had almost disappeared. She Knew Better. Mrs. Wiseman was one of those woâ€" men who always know. _ Whatever the subject under discussion, she had her own opinions, and made other peoâ€" ple have them, too. \ _ In some of the oneâ€"piece dresses, a long, narrow girdle of the material is | wound loosely around the figure sevâ€" | eral times and tied at the back or front in a loose knot. _ The ends are often |finisher with silk tasssels. _ The belt |is generally arranged at the low waistâ€" |line, giving a suggestion of the Moyen Age effect, which, it is predicted, will become popular again. \_ The materials most favored for | these practical frocks are satin, broadâ€" | eloth, fine serge, tricotine, fancy |twills, gabardine and poplin.

It is caught together in front and fashioned to the top of the crown with a large, round pin, and from there it hangs softly down the back. There are ever so many charming veils of this type nowadays. They are made of chiffon, silk net or lace, some of them finished with borders and others without. _ And they come in avariety of colors to suit every comâ€" plexion and every taste. â€" Some of the prettiest ones are in lovely shades of purple, soft roseâ€"color, _ lavender, taupe, green and blue, as well as black and white. They are sometimes worn on small closeâ€"fitting turbans and again on larger sailor shapes. Hats and veils like these are worn with frocks of serge, satin or silk. The one pictured here was worn with a dress of black satin with a long snug bodice fitted at the waist with soft pleats. _ The skirt had a full tunic pleated at the waist and made with the popular loop pockets, which were faced with purple satin to match the purpleâ€" braided design which trimmed the dress. _ This is one of the favored designs for autumn and it certainly is a most becoming one. _ The sleeve was cleverly cut to form a point beâ€" low the elbow, where a silk tassel was placed.

The Russian soldier‘s nickname for General Brussiloff, the man who has driven the Austrians before him in Galicia in a dozen battles, is "Papa Kasha." "Kasha," a writer in a Britâ€" ish periodical tells us, is a breakfast dish greatly beloved by the Russian soldier. It is made principally of dry buckwheat mixed with sour clotted milk, and Brussiloff was the first to introduce it as a regular ration for the Russian soldier. Although his name was not widely known before the recent campaign, General Alexei Grussiloff has for some time been recognized in Russian miliâ€" tary circles as a brilliant strategist and tactician. When the war broke out he was in command of the 14th Army Corps on the Galician frontier, and he took a prominent part in all the earlier operations in that part of the eastern front. The River Orinoco, in South Amerâ€" ica, is over three miles broad for nearly half its course, while during ‘floods the width, even at places far ! from the sea, is often a hundred miles, Early in April last he succeeded General Ivanoff in command of the southern Russian army, and at once he began to prepare assiduously for the great offensive. Trained as a cavalry leader, he inâ€" sisted that that army must play a prominent part in his plan of operaâ€" tions. Only through cavalry, he said, could a rout, as distinguished from a mere withdrawal, be assured. And only cavalry, he thought, could act as quickly as the occasion would demand in the broad intervals of open country between the lines of the enâ€" emy‘s intrenchments. The Russian military wiseacres shook their heads. But Brussiloff had shown marvelous skill and adaptâ€" ability in manceuvring large bodies of men, and he was permitted to have his own way. The victorious _ commander, like ; most of the other successful generals | in this war, is well advanced in years; he is sixtyâ€"four years of age. His vitality, however, is amazing. He is reported to be the picture of health at present, in spite of sixteen hours‘ work a day. In all weathers he will inspect his troops and visit the | vital points along his front. If his motor car cannot take him where he wants to go on account of the bad roads, he will continue his journey for many | miles if necessary on horseback. | "We have undertaken a big operaâ€" tion. With God‘s help we will conâ€" duct it to a successful conclusion," was all he said when he was congratâ€" ulated on his victories.

He ran as hard as he could, but it was too late; for as Bossy stepped toâ€" ward the edge of the well, the bank gave way, and down she went ten feet into three feet of water. Tommy looked at her as she floundâ€" ered and shivered in the water. "Well," he scolded, "if you had only Now that winter is coming on, there will be a disposition on the part of a great many people to prepare for its advance by making their houses airâ€" tight. â€" They will do this for the purâ€" pose of making the house comfortable and to insure the health of the inmates against colds and diseases believed to be incident to winter. _ They will bank the house around with manure or dirt and put storm windows on, toâ€" gether with storm doors, to, if posâ€" sible, keep out the cold air. _ ed. â€" No bedroom but that should have an abundance of air admitted to it whenever occupied.

In this connection, it might be well to state that the proper care of the body, such as frequent bathing and natritiâ€" ous diet are essential, especially with growing children. _ The hygienic environment of the home is of first consideration in the "For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."â€"Isaiah, xxviii, 20.
