CAMPBEll 7 xrar 1 Lieutenant Douglas Campbell, 'of j California, the first American trained aviator to bs badly wounded In battle In France. ". . AMERICANS AWAIT 1 GERMAN BLOW With the American Forces on the - Maine. Excessive movements of troops and materials north of Chateau Thierry, together with the Increased artlUerv and aerial activity, form the basis of the' hollof that American forces in.thls locality may be called upon to defend themselves shortly. For days the Americans have been expecting the enemy, stung by the de feat administered recently here, would Brake a vigorous assault. It was partly for this reason the American opera tions in the Belleu sector were carried out. , With these operations completed, the Americans now have the country for several miles In front of them un der their eyes and guns. When the expected blow comes they will be that muchjbettor prepared to meet it, The American troops are prepared and the Germans will get a warm re ception It they try what the situation Indicates they have in mind. The Americans say that no matter where i the enemy strikes he is bound to pay dearly for his efforts and the biegor I descended from the sky In that par the targot tho better they will like It. I Hculnr shower would have covered the il : BRIEF NEWS OF THE WAR i Americans took 40 prisoners In sur prise raids northwest of Montdldier, In the Cantlgny region... ' v : Between 50,000 and 60,000 AuBtrlans were' killed in the battle of the Plave, according to an official disputch from Home. i Tho Hungarian premier in a state ment said casualties on the Italian front in recent battles totalled about '112,000 men. 1 During last week American activi ties In France have been local in char acter, but official reports show that the Americans at all times anfl. places have more Ihun held their own. Forty-nino German airplanes were brought down by British and French airplane squadrons in ono day last week, according to . the official an nouncements of tho respective war offices. Attacking the Austro-Hungarlan lines on the Aslago plateau, the Ital ians have taken Monte 1H Vulbella, captured more thari 800 prisoners and have held It against repeated counter attacks. 1 Repulse of violent German attacks , west of SoiBsons and southwest of , Rhelms; successful British, French j and American raids and considerable artillery activity.

The Age of Retirement "Do yon think a man has passed his usrfulness when he Is forty?" "It depend on circumstances. If he hn nn'uuiulated enough money so that no rnn afford to be luiy, his usefuluess may end even earlier," . f - -n -: UNGATE ASCRIBED TO'FISH Men of the Sea Have Their Own Idea of Articulation Peculiar to Their Catch. There la a belief among fishermen that a herring, when caught, nrllru lntos a sound similar to the word "cheese.!' This sound is caused by ah escape of air from the air bladder, or a movement of the gills. Fisher men, Indeed, frequently state that the herrings "sneeze," Just as Aristotle once said that gurnards "grunt" ' . The gurnard was kuown to the Greeks as "lyros" and "coccyx," ap parently from the noise It was said to make. Many fish have various forms of utterance attributed to them. On the Norfolk Broads, tone often heurs It said- that an old jack-.-plke has bark ed like a dog, and the same Is said of the conger eel. Itcd-finned herrings, called "loaders" or "kings und queens," are sometimes caught ; they are regarded as an omen of a successful flshlug. One of them Is then taken out of the nets very care fully, prevented from touching any thing made of wood, and passed round the scudding poles as, many times as the fishermen desire to get lasts of herrings at the new haul. How the Dutch Lost New York. The first sten toward maklns New York an English colony was taken 250 years ngo, when Charles II granted to his brother, the duke of York, a large territory In America, to be called. In honor of the proprietor, New York. This Included the Butch settlement of New Amsterdam and the "colonic" of ' 'ew Netherland, with Col. IUchard ji icons in command, to be deputy gov ernor. , , i The Dutch settlers decided that It was useless to argue the case with the English invaders, "who were six times their number," and In the autumn of 1004 Fort Amsterdam and Fort Orange were surrendered. The name of New Amsterdam was changed to New York and that of Fort Orange to Albany. Ooveruor Stuyvesnnt swore allegiance to Charles II, but soon returned to Hnllund. New Amsterdam, founded over three centuries ago, had at the time of the English conquest a popu lation of 1,500, while the total popula tion of the province was about 10,000. Just One Inch of Rain. When the weather bureau reports I that nn Inch of rain has fallen, it means that the amount of water that Kurroumung territory to a aepm oi one Inch If none of It had run off or soaked Into the ground. It menus Hint on one acre of ground enough water to fill more than 600 barrels of 45 gallons each has fallen. That' quantity of water weighs more Ihun 110 tons. If the rainstorm cov ered 1,000 acres, which would be a very small shower Indeed, 114,000 tons of water would fall from the clouds. Rainstorms frequently cover whole states and often two or three or five Inches of water fall In one storm. A single widespread and heavy storm might result in 100,000,000,000 tons of water. Our Own "Tropics." Only at one place In the United States Is there real tropical vegeta tion, says Popular Science Monthly. Florida and California have what Is cnlled "sub-tropical" vegetation. In the midst of a, desert In the extreme southern part Tf California Is a true nasls. The oasis. Palm Springs, lies 250 feet below the sea level. So hot Is It there that there Is a riot of vege tation all the year round. Enormous fig trees and mammoth grapefruit and oranges lire always to be had.
