I The Mannheim General Anzeiger tries to encourage the people with the thought that the reasons why Marshal Foch pursues his offensive are economical, alleging that the scarcity of coal and the inability of the Allies to postpone their action. It adds: "We are at this foment, it is true, passing through the most serious and painful days of the war. We must not and cannot make ourselves blind to the dangers that threaten us." The Koelnische Zeitung also re veals its anxiety, saying: "The struggle on the southern front becomes every day greater and more formidable. The greatest Ger man offensive cannot even be com pared with the present fighting. We must not let the relative calm ob taining in some sectors deceive us. There formidable forces are concen trated. Are all these troops in need of rest or are they designed for fresh battles and ready to attack at the first opportunity?" The paper concludes: "We do not yet perceive Foch's aim in attacking with so much fierceness north of Soissons and be tween the Somme and the Scarpe. Our staff must make the necessary dispositions to meet any painful eventualities."

Hearse With Corpse Buried in Sandstorm San Angelo, Tex.—With all but Its plumes completely covered by wind driven sand, a hearse on its way to the cemetery for negroes was stalled for two day 3 in a drift in a village northwest of San Angelo before it could be dug out and the corpse linally taken to the last resting place. It was not until the sky grew black, with the sun completely ob scured, that the mourners showed fright. Then the negroes believed a visitation had come upon the earth and that all of them would be en gulfed in a flood of sand. As they were on their knees pray ing the drifting sand began to rise and some of them were more than half covered. By this time the horse attached to the hearse was knee deep in sand and the driver bethought himself of the impending loss of good horseflesh as well as the possible loss of his own soul. He determined to save both if he could, so he un hitched his horse and began a labor ing march vo the nearest village. One by one the kneeling mourners struggled to their feet and followed him. Everybody reached the village in safety, but badly frightened. First Frost Predicted Northeast Pa.
