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. ? Manchester (Eng.) Guardian.
A Wel?h Poet Miner.
Huw Menal Williams Is Wales poet
miner, who bids fair to bring' Welah
literature to the attention of the
Anglo-Saxon world. 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. His book, "Through the Up
<-a?t Shaft." Is causing a furore In
England. ? From Argonaut.

ART IN CUTTING DIAMONDS I
Peculiar Prcpcrtiea of th# Precious
Gem Must Bo Thoroughly Under
stood by the Lapidary.
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. ? Indianap

Thinking and Doing.
"It Is perfectly easy to write '1922'
If you only think what you are doing,"
remarks the Boston Globe.
? That Is one of the great Ifs that
continually Interpose hazards end ob

Important one of all. The majority
of o*r errors and sins of omission, es
pecially those of a minor character,
are due to our failure to thluk what
we are dolnj*. Rut the mere recogni
tion of this failure and the earnest
desire to correct it will not prove suf
ficient In most cases as an effectual
remedy. The great trouble is that It
Ig practically impossible to think what
one Is doing In very many particu
