ALL-DAY AHTM.l.KHY DfKI,
When I reached Solsons an artillery
duel was In progress. The oppolne bat

that nestle, around the town The Kiench.
artillery w.is posted on the helshts outh
of the town. The Germans were mole
than a mile aunv, their ruhh marked In
clumps of woodland. T'ie German f;uns
alternated t lain of concussion shell on
the French ai tilery nnd shiapnel on the
Flench Infantry aliened under the sup
port of their suns.
The duel started at sunrise on Sunday
ind continued throughout the day. To
ard nlchtfall. honeer. the German
C'Xn rp bccamo weakened and the French
' 1 j.n suns were belnp withdrawn, havlntr
reg 'n used merely to cover the irencral
WJj.ii Ireat.
7" At one period of the artillery duel, I
' timed 32 bursting shrapnel shells dttrlns a
' slnsle minute, Indicating the tleiceness of
y the German fire, Several of the houses
pj m--ioi:4vins proper were set on lire bv
uursunK sneus out mere were very :ew
fatalities among the Inhabitants owing
to the fact that the German lire on the
city was mostly shrapnel The In
habitants had taken refuge in the cellars
and were out of harm's way. To this
Is ntributable the fact that there ncre no
serious losses.
The Fiench sun crews were absolutely
unaffected by the fire, and the Infantry,
waitlnK the orders to io forward. wr'
Vi-ry cheerful The Tureos ithe French

Mourto charge drove forward recklessly, their

Iv-elously compact and efficient. The cav

Svork coolly. In do-t formation, without
a hitch or without iracv of excitement.
Tho adltlonal excitable I.atln tempeia

"rtS I could se Tho ottlers were coolb
fraternizing with tbtr men, o'. ersetlng
their food and keeping their ammunition
replenished. This was In marked con
trast with thu brutal methods of the
German officers, which have been reported
from ull parts of the tlghtins line
The French commlssar is simply won

the fighting line.
Not a single moment t lost in moving

The drivers of the supplv trains smolcd
their cigarettes, read newspapers and

the utmost surprise that there wvre no

GERMANS NOT YIT DEFEATED
My talks with the officers of the French

having been completely defeated Re

and tho enormous quantities of supplies

Co-Operation
Wherever a common want can be
focalized, the want can be met at a less
ened price
To insure one man's life for $1000 would
cost S1000 to insure a hundred thousand
lives for $1000 each wouldn't cost $-10
apiece, and there'd be a profit to the in
surer. To sell a few pianos "costs more than
they come to" to concentrate a hip
business on one make at a time, lets us sell
pianos on as close margin as we sell dress
goods and still the big business pays,
where the little business with high prices
eats itself up.
Suppose we sell four thousand pianos in
a year the demand coming just as it
happens we have to handle driblet lots
of eacli one make, and it's costly.
This club centers the attention of three
million people on pianos and players of
the Hardman make the "Harrington"
line. We are justified in buying and re
ceiving and handling in the big way that
lessens costs.
The saving is divided among those who
join the club that's the economy we offer.
And we can even afford to insure eacli
member's life as to this debt.
Usually three or four days
after you join the club we
can get your chosen instru
ment home yours to enjoy
while the payments are going
on yours for always, if pay
ments are made, because there
is practically no wear-out to a
