OLD SATAN'S MASTERPIECE.
:
(liy Mnrxhul McAllister, Co. K, in the
Kpiker.)
Olil Satan was lnokin iiiilo solemn
anil luni
While making a survey of the liinil.
He Celt his business nil (,'niiij; on the
limn;
There were no deeds (if darkness at
hnnd.
Tho Lord hail been untlieriiifr more
hoiiU than lie hail,
AllliotieJi he looked early mid late with
vim,
Tho peace that was reij;iiin;r supreme
in the world
Was quite irritating to him.
"If I can manage to pull oft' mi:uc
'. stunt,"
Smiled old Kalan, "to even the
score,
And teach the vain world to appre
ciate inc."
So, you sec, old Satan was sore.
lie cast his dark eye over this still
sleeping world
While the lights were flushing; out
over the laud.
Then lie tore the black clouds with his
furious breath,
In desperation us he planned.
He hatched up n scheme so eternnllv
dark
rilled with coal black murder ami
spite,
And he carried it out with infinite
en se
Thniiifjh the solemn mid deep purple
shinies of the niitlit.
For abode, be eliosc the Mexican
soil
Where scorpions ,r vcurs bine
fed,
Where luui-.urils wheel hie.li in the
coppery s':
And the centipedes crawl o'er the
dead.
le carried the bulk to bis broad
kneading board
And lie kneaded it up nic e mid fine.
And to make it mold belter, he dipped
Ins biu" list
lu the dnrk, lunjid flow ul" the
Kbine.
'Chroiih the dark niuhl, he worked
mid be grinned,
And be reviewed the dark lilies of bis
plan,
men ne molded ii up to a semninncc,
at lensl
(If a real, honct-to tiod white
man.
Then he turns to the earth for n fin
ishing touch,
Where the African juimle stream
wind.
And there, in the lirh! of the still
early dawn
A enhra! The luckiest find!
lie placed in I lie ho-uin of his r.-ii I
iiiasterpicee
The heart of the reptile, then
rroilouiieinu it perfect, ill it breathed
lite,
And lii-hold! A leader of men!
Anil Ih" imp Is they wept; old Satan
lln laughed ;
Ho cheered with heathenish nice.
Then he chose hliu a place on (!cr

PROGEESS OF THE BATTLE.
FOR fifty days t lie allies have conducted an offensive
covering ilie weslei-n front from Yprcs to Kheims.
Focb lias rained liainiiicr Mows tit vital points nil along
the extended line, first here, then there, never giving
the enemy time to reform or recuperate hut steadily
smashing on, msing np (ierman reserves and forcing a re
tirement that may eventually become a major disaster
dependant upon (Ierman morale.
The -German offensive left the Bochc in many awk
ward salients, positions valuable on an offensive hut,
promising disaster in a defensive. Skillful generalship
lias enabled the Germans thus far to preserve their am
ies intact, though their losses total .150,000 prisoners,
2,500 guns and enormous (plant ities of munitions and
probably 500,000 casualties.
Foch has been able to do this through a united com
mand and a constantly increasing American reserve. The
effect of the coming of America and the proof of Ameri
can valor its displayed on the Marue was to strengthen the
morale of all the allies and convince them that victory lay
in their grasp, that their cause was unbeatable. They al
ways fought valient ly and stubbornly but now they
j'ight victoriously imbued with the spirit of victory.
The Germans are now righting stubbornly but hopelessly,
with their best troops sacrificed for German greed.
The vital sectors of the bill tie line far outstripping
all others in importance is the Canadian-British drive
for Catnbrai and the French-American drive for Laon.
The British have already broken thru the second Hinden
burg or Wotan line on a wide front and are steadily ad
vancing. The lrench are almost on the Ilindenburg line
north of Woissoiis and slowly advancing. These two drives
are outflanking the entire German defense system from
the Belgian coast to Verdun. Between these sectors, the
allied advance is for the purpose of harassing the enemy
and preventing an orderly retreat.
Flanked from both ends, the Germans must withdraw
on a grand scale. Numerous defense lines have been con
structed to delay the allied pursuit but a retreat all
filong the line to the line of the Mease is probable and
it will be the greatest military disaster in history. Only
unfavorable weather conditions can prevent it.' It wiil
have to be made very rapidly to enable the Germans to
make a .stand on their new line before winter sets in and
the time for rear guard actions will be limited. Beyond
all question thousands of prisoners and guns will be left
in the hands of the allies anil unheard-of quantities of. mu
nitions destroyed to prevent their falling into enemy
hands.
Such a retreat will be confession of German failure
and break forever the military prestige of Germany, be
sides shattering (ierman inorale.

By the foreoinjJ plan it will be

time the arrangement will in no way
impair the efficiency of the system
of schools. Kurthermore, the plan
will not work a hardship on pupils as
those who are transferred belong in
the upper grades and are thus able
walk to any s'-bool iu the district.
Neither will the foroioiny; lilan work
a hardship on any teacher for there
will not be more than the reasonable

Cereal Food That
Contains Its Own Sugar
rabe-Nuts
is utterly unlike any other prepared cereal.
Take a handful of its golden-brown granules'
and hold it in a strong light.. You will see lit
tle shining particles on each granule a result
of the Grape-Nut process of cookery, which
turns the starch of wheat and barley into ac
tual sugar.
The sweet, nutty flavor of Grape-Nuts re
quires no added sugar and where fresh milk
or cream is not obtainable condensed, or evap
orated milk fits iij finely.
No sugar is needed, and but little cream or
milk, and this makes Grape-Nuts a very desir
able cereal these saving days.
