the German high sea fleet may be driven out and, unwillingly as
it undoubtedly is, take its final chance. ,

IWiTiVG ALLIED FORCES
SIGHTING ON THE FRONTS In France and Italy appears
to be developing favorably for the allies. In the last four
"l months we have lost more territory, at least, than we have re
gained in the last three years, but the prime defect of allied com
- mand independent unco-ordinated command has been remedied
most satisfactorily, and American effort is speeding up. Today
, we have one chief and a great chief and one military force. For
all the natural difference of viewpoint among such varied na
tionalities and the natural tendency toward friction and jealousy
between professional military traditions of prestige "arrange
ments for unity of command," says the supreme war council,
"have greatly improved the position of the allied armies and are
.working smoothly and with success." Of course, it is bad that
the present, simple, common-sense arrangement has been arrived
' at so late in the day, but any one who knows aught of national
pride and race prejudice does not wonder that repeated reverses
were required to bring about such a result.
In March hordes of Huns from prostrate Russia, Austrians
' and Hungarians were massed on the western front for the "Kai
; aer Battle." Enormous was their number, and enormous was the
number and power of their guns and other equipment Enormous
' also was their purpose the capture of Amiens, the Channel
ports, Paris and supreme disaster to the British and French ar-
mles by separating them and eventually forcing a "German
peace" a "peace" of atrocity and ruin upon the world. After
several stupendous blows were struck and our lines were bent and
j rent as most of us thought it was impossible to bend and rend
, them, England, Italy and America dropped all petty questions of
; national pride and made the victor of many a hard fought battle
: the co-ordinator of their strategy and their generalissimo.
: "The first strategist of Europe" is famous as an offensive
; fighter, but he has a special genius for retreating and striking,
: and for waiting and striking. He swept aside the old quarrel be-
tween the offensive and the defensive school when he said, "war
; is not a question of one system or another, it is a matter of com
mon sense." Frank H. Simonds remarks: "At the Marne Foch
' attacked incessantly, while at the Yser he stood firm against at
tack. Today at the Somme he is waiting again, but some day he
, will Btrike, and, perhaps, it will be the last blow of the war, as his
: was the last blow at the Marne." ' '
The German offensives have solidified the unity between the
: allies. The enemy expected to separate the French and British
armies, crush" them one after the other, and impose his hideous
"peace." But where they thought to divide us they brought
about instead that absolute and unquestioned unity of command
which should have been adopted long ago. Instead of pouring
into Calais and Pans, they met the indomitable figure of Gen
eralissimo Foch.
Another most fortunate thing for us is that the offensives
and the U-boats in American waters have stirred the United
States to their depths. Troops and material have been stream
ing "over there," and will continue to do so, for the republic
knows it must fight with its might for its life and the life of ajl
free peoples.

It waa late when be finally went to

he wanted to unburden her heart to me
before the slept At Lillian Underwood's
dinner in honor of Robert Savarin I bad
noticed the boorish manner of Jack Blck-
ett, bar fiance and my cousin, toward
her. and later guessed that the reason
for hia actions waa his jealousy of Dr.
Braithwaite, Dicky's brother-in-law, the
head of the hospital unit to which Katb
srlne belonged, and because of whose
work here she bad come back from the
front.
Katberine'e answer startled me. She
turned from the mirror in front of which
be had been braiding her long, beautiful
hair for the night, and sank to her knees
at my aide and burst into tears. I put
my arma around her, drew her close, and
tried to apologue.
'Why, Katharine, I didn't mean to
make you feel like this. I never should
hare asked yon that question, but I
thought you wanted to tell mi all about
it."
Her answer came brokenly.
"Don't. 1 do want to tell you, but
please let me cry it's the first time."
I said no more, only held her closer
and smoothed the satin softness of her
brown hair. The words, "It's the first
time," struck a responsive chord in my
heart aa I gated down at her. L too,
knew what it bad been to repress tears,
knew also what It meant to a woman
In trouble to have somewhere in the
world another woman's shoulder to "cry
on."
When ahe finally dried her eyes, she
prang up with the pretty impetuousness
I had always loved in her.
"What a fool I've made of myself!"
she said practically, going over to a
stand in the corner and pouring cold
water into a baain. Aa she batbed her
eyes and face she gave a little sardonic
laugh.
"Tell me, Madge," she said, "did you
ever aee a woman who could cry becom
ingly I read of them, but I've yet
to aee one, and I've certainly watched
all varieties of weeping females."
."There Isn't any such article," I re
joined, and then I drew up a chair near
mine, afraid lest the bitterness of bar
tons meant that ahe bad drawn an ar
mor over intended confidence. But ahe
sank obediently into If. when aha bad
finished bathing her face, and aba
deeped bar bands a round her knees.
There'e only one thing the matter,"
ahe said, "and you couldn't help aeeing
what it waa the other night at Mrs.
Underwood's dinner."
- Katherias Explains.
"Too mean that Jack objecta to Dr.
Braithwaite'a work taking ao much of
your timer' I replied, temporizing, for
I did not wish to put my real conviction
into worda until Katherine herself should
give me the cue.
"I mean that he Is actually Jealous of
Dr. Braithwaite himself, imagines that
the physician himself Is in love with me
end that I am mora interested in him
than I nave any right to be."
She stretched her beautiful arma above
her head (with a gesture of important
irritation.
"Sometimes I think all the business
and professional world ought to be di
vided like a Quaker meeting, the men
on one aide afid the women on the
other," ahe said with a tinge of bitter
ness. "It seema almost impossible for
a man and a woman to be associated
closely in any business or profession
without earning unpleasant comment or
actual trouble if there'a a husband, wife
or a fiance of either on earth.
"And it'a ao unjust," she went on.
"Ton see, in this particular case, I hap
pened to do my work in the especial way
that suited Dr. Braithwaite, and he waa
kind enough to remark it, and gradually
to give mo the moat responsible work

"Of course you just "happened to do
your work well," I put in affectionately.
for I knew Katberine'e reputation as
one of the beat nurses in the city.
A little moue was the only indication
that ahe heard my interruption.
'And then Dr. Braithwaite'a wife fell

she continued.
"Te My Sorrow."
I nodded. Dicky's sister had Indeed

I had wondered often how the physician

"Well, then, of course yon know how

"And he selected you?" I asked.
"Yes," Katharine returned soberlv.
"much to my sorrow."

WILL FLEET COME OUT?
jfEPORTS that the German high sea fleet is making ready
J to venture from behind its mine fields and shore guns,
multiply and become more and more insistent The fleet must
now be at the apex of its possiblo efficiency, while the best al
lied vessels can present is their average strength, and yet the
news of this attempted foray will bring joy to the hearts of the
officers and men of the British grand fleet, including our own
division, who desire nothing more cheering than the chance to
fight to a finish the skulking Hun.
These indications of a new and more seemly purpose flow
in from many and from widely separated centers, according to
press despatches. The dockyards at Kiel and Wilhelshaven
have been unusually, not to say extraordinarily active; of late in
the Baltic, now a German lake, there have been incessant squad
ron exercises and experimentation with destructive devices and
novel constructions; and, as a lesser straw to show the way of
the wind, groups of officers have been detached from the Medi
terranean and the Adriatic and assigned to duty with the north
ern naval forces.

No-Hit Games Fewer in Big
League This Year Than Last
New Tore, June II. When Dutch
Leonard pitched a no-blt game against
Detroit a few days ago, he accomplished
aotnethlug that waa thrice turned in to
the records by the tame time a year ago.
On three different occasions, when
weather conditions that ware far lesa fa
vorable, big league pitchers a year ago
vaulted Into the hall of fame with hit
leas victories. Two of the efforts also
were attended bv a lack of runt on the
part of ths hltless club.
VVklie .Cicotta of the
world's champion White Sox. who step
ped in against the St Louie Browns In
the first series of the yesr in St
Louis last spring and turned back the
Fielder Jones aggregation with the min
imum quantity of hits none. And a few
daye la'sr along came Ernie Koon and ac
complished 'hj same thing, with the ex
ception that Ernie got into an argument
with the offical 'scorer and almost lost
credit for the performance.
Then George Mogridge pitched hia
only real good game of the aeason when
he went against the Boston Red Sox and
set down that team without a hit
Whether thia means that the pitching
waa better a year ago or that the hitting
now la better ia a matter for speculation
and deep study.
There It no doubt that the pitching
was some better, for Cicotte hsa not
been so good aa he waa a year ago, and
the Yankees have been unable to help
Mogridge to many victories. However,
the hitting Is no better, for practically
the same layout of hittera has been do
ing the punching, and the averages are
no more than normal. In fact some .t
the averages have auffered woeful
slumps.
But these are the facte three hltless
performances Isst spring, and one tha
year. If, aa has been argued, the fans
like free hitting contests, they have ben
well served during IMS.
