FRENCH ADMIT GERMANS'
SUPREMACY IN FICHTINC
ON THE FRONT OF VRECNY
Paris, Jan. 15. —The French official!
statement on the progress of the war
given out yesterday shows the fighting
.Wednesday north of Soisaons was most
determined. The French nonld make no
material progress on the left of their
Soissvm-s line; they held their positions
on the center and were compelled to
yieM on their right. The French troops
r.re described also as taking up posi-;
tlons on the south bank of the river
Aisne. Spirited artillery exchanges con
tinued Wednesday at other points on
the battle front. The text of the com-:
muni cation follows:
"In Belgium the tiring of our artil
lery was interfered with by the fog.
nevertheless the cannonading yesterday !
was very spirited in the vicinity o# :
-Xieuport and around Ypres. Certain
detachments of Belgian troops blew i
up at a point to the southeast of Stuy
vekneskerke the buildings on a farm
which were serving the enemy as a de
pot for his ammunition.
"Between the Lys and the Oise. in
the region of I..ens, our artillery were
successful in dispersing a group of Ger
man pioneers 011 the outskirts of the
ham let of Angres. and it bombarded ef
fectively the German trenches to the
southeast of the chapel of Notre Dame!
I>e Norte.
"To tlie north of Soiysons there was
determined fighting all day. The en- 1
gagement was localized to a section of
ground situated to the north of Crouy.'
We hold only the first slopes of these j
hills. On our left in this field our ,
counter attack made slight progress, but'
without succeeding in recording a inn
teriul advance. On the center we re
tained our positions around the village
of Crony in spite of the repeated efforts
of the enemy to dislodge us. but on the
east, in front of Vregny, we were
obliged to yield.
"The continued flood stage of the
river Aisne has carried away several
o'' the regular bridges as well as some
of the temporary foot bridges which we
took yesterday. The lines of com muni-(
ration for our troops were consequent-'
ly made uncertain. l"nler those condi- j
tions we established ourselves on the i
south bank of the river, in the region
between Crouy and Missy which bridge I
heads the north bank in our lossession. |
"Along the remainder of the front j
on the river Aisne there was yesterday
nothing more than artillery exchanges, i
In Champagne, the region of Perthes'
continued to be the scene of local en- 1
gagenients tor the possession of German
trenches. The Germans believed they :
were attacked manned their trenches.
We then opened violent artillery and iu
fantrv fire on their positions! There
is nothing to repirt on the rest of the
front."

: "Of course 1 can understand my
j wife's position in the case," the judge
; mild. "She want* her only daughter
' to marry a nitin with money, and you
| hnren't any. So tble la my plan: I'll
; Kettle n good round sum on you, and
you can say It cume from a rich rela
tive. Then my wife will be satisfied.
You cau marry Roxane and live hap
pily ever after."
"Oil"—Oliver'* face was bright with
hope—"yoir are very good, slrl"
"Hut you mustn't tell Roxane where
you got the inouey," the Judge pur
sued. "She couldn't keep it from her
mother."
"But I ought uot to deceive my fu
ture wife."
The judge banged a heavy flst on
\ his desk. Don't be foolish," be aald
stonily. "It's the only way."
i "But"— Thou before Oliver could
proceed with his objection a clear voice \
,1 usked, "Mi% I come In?"
"Hoxaue!"' exclaimed the two men.
She stood hesitating on the thresh
old. a slender little thing, with her fair
lialr puffed out under a plumed bat
"Mother is waiting In the motor,"
she said breathlessly. "We are on
our way to the charity oazaar, and 1
want some money."
The Judge hissed her. "Now lfs
Oliver's turn." he tensed.
"Oh, father." she reproached him,
with a sob. "you know Oliver Rnd I
have had to break our engagement be
| cause mother won't hear of ft!" And
she hid her face on the judge's sboul
i der.
The judge glanced at Oliver. "Tell
her," he <-omnianil<j|], and the boy be- j
i gan a halting tale.
As he proceeded Roxane Interrupted.
"Yon mean that souie one has left you
1 a fortune?"
Oliver nodded
With her fare shining, the girl went'
swiftly to her lover. "Oh. Oliver, Oil- j
ver." she said, "how happy 1 am!"
For a moment he hesitated; then he
gathered her into his anus. "It's worth j
everj thing to know that you are mine, j
Roxane." he sai<l huskily
i The rustle of silk skirts in the hall
brought him out of bis rhapsody.
J "It's your mother," warned the j
| judge. and when the rather stout lady J
i in mauve entered she found two sol- j
emu young people on each side of the :
| judge's desk.
"I thought Roxane was never coming ;
dovvu." sue panted
; "1 found (Wiver here." Roxane ex
plained. "and. oh mother, a rich reia !
tlve tii'.s left him a fortune."
"A fortune- Oliver!" scuffed the stout'
; lady "Why. he hasn't a rich relative j
In the world."
"The fact remains, my dear," the I
judge asserted bhiudly. "that he has 1
had m fortune' left him by a distant
cousin"
"What cousin?" was the demand,
"You needn't tell me, .lames."
"Tut. I tut." the Judge cautioned, j
"Don't accuse the boy of lying."
j "I'm not accusing anybody." Mrs.
Vandiver stated "1 merely usked you j
what cousin. James."
"I'm not sure of the name. .Wblp." i
he stammered "l'erhaps Oliver can
satisfy you."
Hut Oliver weakened "I think Mrs.
Vandiver is right." he said unsteadily.,
j "Until I can offer satisfactory proof of
my good fortune it will fie well for me
to give up Roxaue. There may be some
mistake."
"Of course." said Mrs Vandiver, j
with aggravating sureness. "Come on,
ltoxaue." And she drugged her unwll
ling captive from the room.
I.eft alone, the conspirators stared at:
each other,
j "Now you've done it." said the Judge
"Why couldn't you bluf
it out '.-"
"Not with Rosalie's trusting eyes on
me," said lioxaue s lover.
"Weil, if you knew Roxane'* mother!
us well u> 1 do." the growled, j
; "you would Undw that it's the only j
hope."
After a depressing silence Oliver!
i ventured, "Perhaps if you approached
I her differently you might get better
; results."
The judge smiled. "How do you
| mean?'
Oliver blushed. "Ob, well, I've some
times thought, sir, that if you appealed
to your wife's sense of romance"—
"Ahbie's sense of rotnanceP' the
judge ejaculated.
"You must have some memories thai
j would mate li.-r fey I tenderly to\var« !
i you—toward us"-
"It has been st> iotig." the judse nun

"You see. I'm afraid we're beyond r.
mance." he murmured. "She wouldn
inderstnml."
"It seems to tne," said the wiseyoun.
Daniel, "tbat a woman Is never to.
old to resist an appeal to her heart"
The Judge pondered. "1 asked her to
marry me on Oct 15 twenty-two yean
ago."
"There!" Oliver exclaimed, "and to
day la the 14th, and tomorrow Is an
anniversary. Oh, you've got to take
advantage of that indire"
"i took ber to ride in my buggy," the
judge rambled on sheepishly. "There
was a big round moon''—
lie stopped suddenly. "Rut of course
we've grown sensible since then," be
said wistfully.
"Well, you just ask ber to go to
morrow," Oliver recommended, and
then the judge gave In.
The next evening he presented him
self at the dinner table armed with a
long paper box.
"For you, my dear,'* he said to bis
wife, as she cauie in with Roxane,
heavy eyed and pensive.
The box. being opened, showed rosy
carnatious.
"The nearest thing I could get to
pinks," the judge explained.
"Why pinks?" his wife demanded.
"Abble," be reproached, "have yon
forgotten tbat twenty-two years ago
you wore piuks"—
Mrs. Vandivet's expansive features
expressed a blank surprise. "What
happened twenty-two years ago 7"
| " I know," Roxnne Intermpted,
"There's the picture on father's desk—
you have on a blue dress and a bunch
of pinks—you said you looked that
way when be asked you to marry him."
The blush tbut stole up toward Mrs.
Vandlver"B gray curls gave her a curi
ous look of youth. "Why. .lames," she
faltered, "did you really remember?"
"Yes." said the Judge, feeling thnt
bad he never forgotten life would have
held deeper meauings.
Mrs. Vandiver came around and kiss
ed ber husband. "Thank yon, dear,"
she said, with a gentleness that made
Roxane stare.
After that It was not hard to propose
a ride by moonlight ami Mrs. Vandi
ver, consenting, came down in a blue
gown tbat became her elderly plump
ness almost as well as that other blue
gown had set off her girlish figure.
The judge's electric runabout re
placed the buggy of long ago, aud as
they went quickly through the city and
out into the .county roads thnt astute
gentleman refrained from any mention
of Oliver and Roxnne. All his talk was
of things of the past
"How happy we were. Abble," he
said at last and his wife responded
wistfully, "Very hnppy. James."
A golden moon hung above the dark
line of the bills. The air was sweet
with the splciness of the pines. The I
Judge was thrilled with bygone emo- j
tiotis, and bis arm was comfortably J
about bis wife's waist
Then In the rapture of the restorn '
tion to her place of romance of th« ;
Abbie of long ago he forgot Oliver— |
forgot Roxane.
He was brought back with a shock
when Mrs. Vandiver said as tbey i
turned toward home: "I've been think
ing of Roxane. If she really loves OH j
ver 1 don't know but 1 ought"—
"Of course you ought" said the Judge 1
promptly. "Give thera your blessing,
and let them be as hnpny as we are." ;
"I am afrnid that Oliver bas been
fooled by some of those firms wi'o
hunt up lost heirs." the lady pursued.
"Of course Oliver was sincere, but I
don't think much of the fortune story." (
"No." mendaciously, *"it didn't seem
probable."
"You can settle something on them
after they are married." said Mrs.
Vandiver. "We haven't any one tu i
leave it to but Roxane—and—and It l
would be nice to have them engaged ou
the same day that we were, Jinimle."
.limmlel The magic of the youthful
appellation made the judge feel like a
colt
"Let's get them married and you and
I will go off and have another honey
moon," he proposed jubilantly. "Wo
will have the time of our lives."
The ripple tbat came from his wife's
lips was a silver echo of the golden l
laughter of other days.
"We will," she said, and lifted her
face to him in the inoonllght "and
now let's go right home and tell th«

Our National Favorite, Pumpkin Pie
A plain pudding may pass muster,
but a plain pie, never. The crust must
be rich and flaky, tender and sight.lv
after baking. With first-class shorten
ing, a good oven and a little experience,
satisfactory results are quickly secured.
May the product never grow less.
Pumpkin pie is, without doubt, the
most popular of the long list of pies;
not only do poets siug its praises but
scientists rise in its defence when other
nations ridicule this American favorite.
To make pumpkin pie, steam, instead
of boiling, I lie pumpkin and when it is
cool put it through the vegetable press
or sieve, then it will never be lumpy.
For every pie allow one cup of the
pumpkin, one cup milk, one egg or the
yolks of two, one teaspoon of gingvr,
one-hnlf teaspoon of allspice, one tea
spoon of cinnamon and a little salt.
Sweeten the mixture to taste. Cook
this in a double boiler until it is a
smooth rich paste. Have the pastry
shells ready, till them and bake until
the Ailing is a rich glossy brown and
firm to the touch.
This pie may be finished with a
meringue of whites of eggs as is lemon
custard pie but this added touch seems
unnecessary, so good and attractive is
pumpkin pie of itself.
The recipe for everyday pastry is
extremely simple: For each pie measure
a cup and a half of flour, a teaspoon
of salt, one-fourth cup of. lard anil one
fourth cup of butter. Rub the lard into
the flour and salt and when the flour is
grainy and well mixed with the shorten
ing ndd ns little very cold water as will
make the mass moist.. If too much

Madame, How Is
Your Coal Range?
Does it catch up quickly in the morning? Or
must you wait for an hour or more, after the drafts
are turned 011, before you can get breakfast on tiie
stove ?
This is not as it should be.
If the fire burns too slowly you are without doubt
using coal that is too hard. The softer the coal the
quicker it catches up and the more heat you will get.
If you are using all hard coal try hard and soft
mixed in equal amounts and if that doesn't work
satisfactorily we can make the mixture one-third
hard and two-thirds soft. Or we can send you
Anthracite coal that is all soft.
We are prepared to mix coal in any proportions.
Let us send you a sample.

water is lined the pastry will he tough.
The exact amount ot' water needed can
not bo given as some flour requires more
and some less. Holl the paste out and
spread on the luittor, sift Hour over
tiiis and fold pastry over itself. Holl
out again and continue this until all
the but tar is used.
At last roll the crust very thin, lift,
it into the pie tin and press the edges
down around the rim and trim neatly.
For pumpkin, custard and all pios
baked in open shell the crust may be
baked before the tilling is put in as
this prevents the pastry becoming
moist if the pie is not used at once.

little folks who enjoy n small pie.
They are baked in patty shell pans as
