THE TURNING OF THE TIDE.
! Our boys have done some hard fighting within the
past two'months but the battle so magnificently won yes
terday was the first really big fight, as fights are count
ed in this war, in which they have engaged. All Ameri
cans knew the boys would give a good account of them
selves, and would do all that it is possible for men to do,
but even the most enthusiastic American scarcely real
' ized the fineness of che metal in them. The German su
per-man has met his superior, and the beginning of the
that carried everything before it and resulted in the cap
ture of Soissons and 30,000 prisoners besides perhaps
ten thousand more in the battles of the day before, and in
the fighting along other parts of the front, is one of the
notable events of the war. Of course this victory was
not due to American efforts alone, for the gallant poilus
stood shoulder to shoulder with them and chased the
fleeing Huns with desperate energy. However it must
be remembered that the presence and example of the Am
ricans put new life, new hope and a new fighting spirit
into the French, who for four desperate years have put
up as gallant a fight as history records. It would be
worth something to have been in Paris last night and to
have experienced and lived the gladsome hours of a re
juvenated and rejoicing city. On this side of the ocean
far from the scenes of war, the rejoicing is just as heart
felt if not so exuberant, and from one edge of the con
tinent to the other every American heart beats more rap
idly, and every eye is dimmed with tears from the depths
wherein lie feelings too deep for other expression.
The victory is great, and its effects may be such that
the end will be hastened. The German army is in a pock
et from which it may find it difficult to extricate itself.
A few miles further drive on the American front will en
.danger the lines of communication, over which the Ger
man armies receive their supplies and munitions, and if
1hese lines are broken it will require heroic efforts for
the Germans to save themselves. It looks very much as
though they would have to fall back or risk capture or
annihilation. Then, too, the moral eltect on tne uerman
people once they learn of the magnitude of their defeat,
and that the boasted drive of Hindenburg which was to
give them victory and peace, has resulted only in the de
struction or loss of thousands of the flower of the German
army, is a factor that cannot be measured. The victory
yesterday brings the end appreciably nearer.
The decisive day of the big battle is at hand. The
Germans are rushing great bodies of reserves to assist
in checking the Franco-American advance. That the
drive may be checked is possible, but at the same time the
tirawine of anv great number of reserves from the
E helms front may lead to a smash by the British that will
iolt the Huns still harder. If the American-French drive
is not checked by this last move, the' German lines of com
munication will be in danger and another Sedan in iis
results may follow, with the Germans playing the former
French role.

THE SURPRISE PARTY.
Said Kaiser Karl, "My soldiers bold, I know you're
mighty hollow; I'm not surprised your feet are cold, since
you ve no grub to swallow. Our Austria is short of pies,
it s stripped of kraut and bacon; there s not enough to
draw the ilies its bare and God forsaken. But Italy
has lood to burn, beyond those Alpine craters! The win
erwurst for which you yearn, the prunes and sweet po
tatoes! .You know how Kaiser Wilhelm went and swip
ed the Russian larder! Go, scale the Alps with fell intent,
with glowing zeal and ardor! Italians are an easy mark,
they'll all stampede together; get after them, and skies
now dark will let in sunny weather." His soldiers took
him at his word (the hint could not be broader), their
famished loins began to gird, and started out for fod
der. They thought to find a Russia there, disorganized
and rattled, and they would strip the cupboard bare when
for a day they'd battled. But Italy was on her toes, with
lust for fight aquiver; she climbed all up and down the
foes, and chased them in the river. Survivors of the hosts
of Karl toil home, too sick to utter, to scrape again the
empty bar'l, and hunt bones in the gutter.

CHAPTER CXX1V.
W,j had a delightful trip liomo. Ucargo
was so pleased at tlio success of Inn

Mrs Hnbcock had seemed attracted to
me, that he was good nature ifcelf,
I was perfectly happy. For once I hud
realty done something which met with
hit unqualified approvel.
I liftil not spoken of his going to tho
aid of Julia Collins, after that night.
Wk'ti wo had reached our room, I had
remarked:
"1 think yon made yourself and mc
nam cossuriiy conspicuous by interfering
pns in the restaurant, ami she surpiised
mc by Haying:
' ' I 'm sorry for Mrs. Collins or, rather
I should have been had I seen her."
"Well, I wasn't sorry! I was really
ylad,''' 1 confessed, acknowledging for
the first t'm 1 '""l ,le(,n pleased at the
situation in which Mrs, Collins had plae
ed herself by allowing that man to act
as her escort.
"Why, Helen! think how modified
soh must have been."
"She was! I never saw anyone more
confused i my life. 1 was so angry
with George for going near her."
"1 should liavo been glad, had I
been you. They havvj known each other
always, have been in the same set. and
Andiyour husband realized, that, knowingly,
Julia lolling would never go where aha
would be placed in such
anyone."
We said no more about the occur
rence, but I confess I could not see Kv.?
l.vu'g view-point, and am afraid I rather
gloated over the fact that, for once Julia
Collins hnd been embarrassed. Sua
had made me feel so, maav times, sad
This is how yon play it.
The leader draws the next player
aside and whispers rapidly in his ear:
"Lord Kitchener was becoming ah
barassmeut to the British government! "
The second player runs to the third !
and whimpers "Bid you know that thej
ontisa government had to get Jjoti
Kitchener out of the wayt"
Then the third plaver runs to tha
fourth: "It is known for a fact' that
t wasn't the Germans that blew up the
ship carrying K. of K. The British gov
ernment "
Then all together in a loud whisper:
A man just back from the other side
told me, so it MUST BE.TRUE!"
That '8 Binglins, the favorite indoor
sport of the hour, as plavcd ia England ,
and this country.
German Binglo is more complicated.
but far more exciting. It is being played
itch an extent thut evervono slmnlil
know how it is done. One can scarcely
gj to an evening entertainment or drop
in on a neighbor without finding the
game iu progress.
German Binglo is generally played for
money, and the loader is always a Ger
man agent.
Ho begins by stopping over for a
night or twu iu nuy loyal community
The initial piny is mnCe with a tkill that
is still a German secret, though America
is now working oa it night fnd day
and expect soon to have it analyzed,
After his play, he vanishes.
Then the chambermaid runs to the
grocer's wife with the whisper that the
soldiers in camp Kuctons have mutinied
and arc bcin shot against a wall; and
tho elevator boy tells tho traveling man
that 1,11 American transport has been
lost with all on board; and a leading ci
izen confides to tho newspapers that
our Red Cross nurses have been sn mis-
I treated by officers and men that a spec
ial hospital has been made necessary for
them; and every player got his whisper
from someone on the inside who got it
straight irom an intimate friend of a
man in Washington wKo is in a position
to know.
Any eitizou or newspaper may con
tinue the chain of players, but the mo
thers of soldiers and sailors are always
IT, Tho leader who can make the mo
thers cry, all together:
"My boy is being starved frozen
drowned poisoned executed ami 1
am not being told!" gets the pot.
That is Grand Biugle.
Little Bingle is alao popular. Start
with a whisper about tho food stored
iu Mr. Hoov'er's cellar, or the secret
assembling of Jnpaneso forces in Mexico
or tho misappropriation of Red Cross
funds any good lie will do -and the
leader will' win evory time. Unless
one of the players cries, "Binglc!"
He must shout it the instant the
whisper reaches Mm. Then tho chain
is broken, and the leader has to start all
over again. If this happens too often,
the leader will get discouraged and give
up. Iu that ease, German Binglo will
die out of America.
WHY IS THIS GAME SO POPU
LAR? AND WHY DOES THE LEADEIt 80
OFTEN WIN" THE POT? J
Because wo liko getting excited. It
is more fun to repeat i" an
voice, "JJut you know that soldiers in
our cantonments must buy their food or
stnre to death?" than it is to yell, "Oh,
Bmgle!"
But there is such a lot to get excited
about now; we can find all the thrills
anybody needs in the plain truth. And
every one of these whispers referred to
as well as of ten thousand others, has
been proved to be a whopping lie made
in Germany.

iams, an old man, to bo starting on his
military earecr, is taking orders today
and feeling like a young man again.
For about a mouth after President
Wilson had offered America with its
men and resources to tho cause of free
dom and democracy Mr. Williams sat
at hiB desk in a tall skyscraper and en
vied the young fellows whom be saw
flocking toward the training camps. Fi
nally he decided he had done enough
sitting around, getting his ideas of war
out of the papers.
"Charley," he said to his business
partner one 'morning, "All your sons
have gone into the service and you've
done your share. But I haven't got
any boys to offer to my country. There
fore its-iip to me. I 'm going to enlist."
"You can't enlist as a major gener
al," laughed his partner, "and you'rp
too old and too important to be a pri
vate." "I'm neither," hotly replied Mr.
Williams. "I'm going to war to fight
and as long as I can beat half my office
at tennis I'm not afraid of tho physical
examinations."
Mr. Williams' first experience at the
recruiting stations, however, showed
that his partner was right. After an
army doctor had gotten through with
him he went away feeling like a ehronic
invalid. ' However, ho submitted him
self to two or three minor surgical ex
aminations, applied again, was rejected,
went the rounds of army, navy, and mar
ines, and at last found himself hopeless
ly outside the circle, where wealth and
success, count for nothing against the
splendid claims of youth.

two weeks later, when he appeared il

showed the little silver bar Itu hi

Williams to boast.
"I found they wantod cxperiencei

"They wouldn't take mo as a private,

(Monday A Bi of Gossip.)
The old idea that malarial fever
or malarial poisoning was tluo to
bad air, has been exploded by the
investigations of Laverau, Reed,
Gorgaa and others.
Malarial fever, when ' well
marked, has chill, fever and sweat
ing in succession every day, every
second day, or every third day.
Besides, there may be attacks at
Irregular intervals or with only
dull, unpleasant feelings, especially
when the patient's resisting powers
are good, or the poison mild.
Malarial poisoning is not due to
bad air, but to infectious parasites,
called Plasmodia, In the blood
stream.
They are Introduced Into the
body by means of the bite of mos
quitoes of the Anopheles variety,
and attack and destroy the red cor
puscles of the blood.
Laveran discovered them In 1S82.
Malarial fever is a tropical disease,
but occurs wherever there are mos
quitoes of the Anophelet breed, In
swamps, forests, lowlands, and
wherever conditions favor the de
velopment of mosquitoes.
.They are found In cold climates
like Alaska, but we do not usually
associate them with cold climates
and high latitudes.
The Isthmus of Panama was the
most mosquito-ridden country In
the world, and Us malaria would
take the prize for severity and fa
tality, but It was drained, cleaned
up and freed from mosquitoes by
Gorgas and is now as healthy as
any other part of the U. S., which,
hows that malaria can be- con
trolled. Some people still believe It Is
caused by drinking water contami
nated by infectious germs or by
breathing Infected air.
It attacks light skinned people
In preference to dark, and men
rather than women, and also those
who dig or delve in the soil, especi
ally If they wort at night or are
careless In their personal habits,
like soldier, for instance, or as they
used to be.
The Plasmodium goes through
his first stage of development in the
body of the human being, destroy
ing red corpuscles and causing
anaemia and pigmentation of tha
skin.
It is particularly abundant in the
blood vessels that are deeply seated.
It occurs in several different
forms, Borne more virulent than
others, developing and maturing
within the red corpuscle, destroying
It and, when mature, throwing' off
new segments which at once at
tack other corpuscles.
When a mosquito bites a person
already infected with malaria, ha
thrusts bis nose Into the person's
blood, and plajmodia from thia .
blood adhere to hi nc-?e.
Then shortly afterwards when he .
bitea a penon who Is uninfected,
these Plasmodia are transferred to
the new rictlm, and at once proceed
to develop.
