Wooten DISASTER OF 191 7 Inside Secret of the Great World War Now Revealed. Crushing Defeat of the French Arrolea Under General ' Nivalis Due to That Lsaaer** Overoonflden oe. The Revue de Parts l? pointing, month by month, the fullest uccouut y*t givwj of the greatest disaster sus tained by the allies on the western noitt (htriiiK the w?f.- ThU -wtu tha~ defeat of the French armlee uuder General Nlvelle i>etweew Helms and Solasous on April 16, 1017. The ac count Is given by M, Palnleve, who was the French wur minister at that time, though he only came Into o?c# wheu the plans for the battle wera complete and their executlou almost Inevitable, M. Talnleve often baa been attacked for his own action be fore and after the smash, so he speaks as a party to a case. Still, more of what he says la only new 'll that It has not been fujly published before, though it was substantially known to the French and British gen eral staffs within a few weeks of th# calamity. The French attack, com monly known at the time as the Chem In des Damos attack, was to be th* main blow of the Franco-British of fensive for the year. 81r Douglas Halg, placed provisionally and with some qualification under the supreme command of Nlvelle, was to attack oa April 0 from near Arras In the north to our right flank near St. Quiaali{i 1* the south. f Our part of the work was to draw off the German strength from the crit ical 'point, to kill and be killed fcnd keep Ludendorff busy rather than to peuetrate far. The whole scheme was Nivelle's. Nlvelle had been made com mander In chief In succession to Joffre the Christmas before, to the exclusion of Foch and Petaln. Nlvelle was ?t the moment the latest fashion In gea erals. French political feeling that winter was In a state of reaction against the "Somme school" ? the school of Foch and Haig, the "limited objective" school, the school which re stricted the $>pth of Infantry advances to ground on which artillery had quite ruined the enemy's defense. Nlvelle represented a new "Verdun school" ef swifter, deeper advance. He had suc ceeded at Vatix and Douaumont a few months before, by making his men advance in a way that the "Somme school" would have thought reckless ? because they or their predecessors had tried It In 1915 and found . It disas trous, hut this was forgotten; fashion had changed; It had gone back to the more slashing fashions of 1914 and 1915; Foch and Haig were back nuib bers, Nlvelle was the man, and wis dom would die with him. So he was given the whole Franco-British offen sive in 1917 to mold at his will. His mind was completely made up by New Year's day, 1917. He had not a shadow of doubt, from then on, that he would be able to drive straight north ward from Reims towards Brussels, behind the German front, cutting off the German northern armies. To any one, soldier or statesman, who sug gested a doubt er an extra precau tion he said, in effect, "Leave It to me. I pledge you my word we shall win." To Infect the troops with his own op timism he circulated freely among regimental officers full written details of the plan of attack, the date, the at tacking strength, everything. This was done In January. Within a fortnight the enemy knew it all. Ludendorff In his book of memoirs tells us how a German raiding party captured, in the pocket of a dead French captain of the second division, the French plan of battl*. The Germans had now two months In which to fit up as an abat toir the ground which Nlvelle meant to capture first. They drew back their whole line between Arras and the Brlt i lnh right, futllltlng the great part of , the intended British division. Then i they sent down to the Helms- Sol asons front the troops thus economized. Then they rigged up on the high flats of Vauderc and Graonne, where the chief hopes of Nivelle's coming attack centered, such an aggreeslon of ma chine guns and quick-firing guns, hood ed with concrete and metal, as no troops ever had to face, before or af ter. ?

Born In Carnar vonshire, Williams has been a coal miner at Glamorgan since he was six teen. His work ha* therefore been en tirely Inspired among the sordid sur roundings of a mining town. Intel lectually. he Is a self-made man. The remarkable thing about William's verse Is that It la written In English ? an acquired language for hlrn and one that he has no oxtraordlnnry com mand of.

A diamond cutter, writing for the I.ondon Mull, relates some Interesting facts ms to forma Into which diamond* art* cut to enhance their luster. A diamond Ik the huidest substance lu nature and canuui even be scratched excepl \\ it ii another diamond, while acme atope* can he cut only with their own powder. Yet the hardest of all can ha olaft hy a heavy blew delivered In 1 1\** right direction ; that Is, parallel to the faces of (he eight sW whtth Ita Cfyitr shows. It la thin property that permits the vary large stones, such as the "Cul linan" dlumond, to he worked. In aplte of this, a diamond haa the simplest composition of all precious stones, for It is only crystalled car bon, and a near relation to ordinary graphite, usually called "blacklead." But It haa been formed by enormoue pressure in the remotest deptlia of tha earth's crust, and probably forced to ward the surface bv steam. The principal forma into which a diamond Is cut are: Brilliants, with an octagonal face surrounded by many smaller fareta. IUae diamonds, with a flat base, above which are two rows of triangu lar facets, the uppermost terminating In a point. Table diamonds, which are thin atftnen cut with triangular facets. What makes the diamond so pra oious Is tha presence pf Inward "flna"-^ the mysterious gleams of blua and rad that change with every movement, and which makes such en appeal to our sense of beauty. The charm of precious stonea Ilea in their brilliancy and taster, the In tensity of the latter depending upon the pollah of the surface; for If the atone is dull or uneven the light la scattered and not reflected. The only stones at all approaching it are aircon and the green garnet called "olivine." The It?6frer ?S*of all other stone* 1a vitreous, suck as seen on the surface of broken glass. And the third type Is that shown by realna. In order to bring out the foil beauty of a stone it must be cuc in such a <Wy that the facets reveal Its apleu dor, and the art of the lapidary rests upon his knowledge of what becomes of the 4!ght when It falls upon tha stone; so he must understand the laws of reflection and refraction. When a white light Is refracted Into a colorless stone It changes and la split up Into a spectrum. Since the refrtrc tive Index Increases progressively as the wavelength of the light decreaaes, a normal spectrum Is violet at one end and passe? through green and yeljow to red at the other end; for Instance, in the familiar rainbow. The width of the spectrum also varies, and It is this "dispersion" that determines the "Are." It Would be difficult to name any substance around whlnh has been woven such a web of romance. Safety Deposit Free. The story comes from Soottshurg and It shows all t lie shrewd persons are not In the lnrpe renters of popu lation. A stranger of ordinary ap pearance and apparently of moderate means walked Into the hank and asked to Borrow $?>. Tfe waft told the hank did not loan such small sums, but when he Insisted that the business of a bank was to loan money, that he needed the sum mentioned, and that he had good collateral, the note was made out, the banker regarding It as , a good joke. Then the stranger pulled out $10,000 worth of Liberty bonds as collateral and left them, re marking that at another bank they had wished to charge him $5 for a safety deposit box to keep them in, but now the bank would keep them for him free, and he would have the bank's to amuse himself with. ?
