The sixth week of the war be- te marching south on three roads tween Germany, France, Great in that neighborhood is not Britain and Belgium, has brought a vast transformation.'

Its retirement be fore the small but hardy British army hrs turned the tide of bat tle. If French official reports are correct all the German armies except that facing Verdun and a few miles west, are retreating. General Von Kluck's army, which a week ago was a few miles southeast of Paris, has re tired more than 60 miles to the northeast, while on the extreme right the army of the Bavarian crown prince, which was attack ing the French eastern line from Nancy to Epinal, has fal len back to the frontiers of Lor raine, permitting the French to reoccupy Luneville and several Ition which they liken to the pass other towns and their mothers.

An attack on the capi tal appeared iminent and the main German force had hammer ed a huge wedge into France be tween Paris and Verdun with its center some miles south of that line. The French people trembled with the question whether their army was the beaten army; whether the history of 1870 will repeat itself. The battle of the Marne, which was decided in a week, is regarded by military critics as the most marvelous reversal of roles of two armies known. In their view it appears to have decided the first phase of the war and to have made im possible the plan which the Ger man staff is supposed to have had of smashing the French by one comprehensive stroke, and then turning the bulk of the Ger man forces eastward to confront the Russians.

They looked upon that as a splendid argu jinent against it. Then, like the old lady who was reminded of Son Wil liam, they were reminded that it is the caffeine in their favorite bever ages, tea and coffee, (even more than m L-oca-LOia) that gives them their sustaining qualities. But does that stop their criticism of Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No their answer is similar to the old lady's they say "But that's another matter" what they mean is "Being prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik ing tea or coffee, it all depends on what carries the caffeine." We think the joke is on them for caffeine is caffeine, and if it is not harmful in one it can't be harmful in another. We all know that it is not harmful in tea or coffee that it is really helpful in whatever it is this is bound to include Coca-Cola. Of course, the truth is, that having started an attack on false premises and having had what they thought were good reasons for criticism prov ed to be no reason at all, they are grasping at an excuse which does not exist, to explain a prejudice. So you see, after all, it all depends on who carries the umbrella to people who are determined to be unfair. Let us be fair. Former Randolphean Weds Reidsville GirL W. L.

At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that,nothing aafwd to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair.
