Here the British now are resting, unhampered^, by the Germans, except by artillery fire on various sectors, consolidating their tfains and making ready for another plunge toward the Drocourt- Queant switch line. As they rest the British are secure in the possession of all of the famous Hinderburg line ex cept about 2,000 yards of it directly west of Bullecourt, whore another heavy battle must be fought before the enemy can be dislodged and sent eastward. Likewise along the southern end of the line held by the French Monday passed in comparative quiet, except in Champagne, where the Germans bombarded heavily the trenches taken from them by the French in Sunday’s fighting near Moronvillieres. In the Austro-It&lian theatre the Austrians are keeping up their heavy bombardment in the Trentino sector, evidently in an attempt to distract the attention of th# Italians from the of fensive they are engaged in from Tol- mino to the sea, with Oyir objective Trieste, Austn#’s principal seaport on the Adratic.

Davis; for when Mr. Davis was traveling for the Atlanta Branch of ’The Liquid” he was indefatigable in sending in corking good stories to the Editor about plants and people in his territory. His work in this direction is only one of many indexes of the great energy and resourcefulness and tireless industry of this keen young man. * . “Fred Davis was born on his fath er’s plantation in Carolina and his early youth was spent there. “After completing his high school education he became interested in the lumber, naval stores, and the general shore business in his home county.

Father hud retired from business and devoted himself to the care of his estate, having a sort of office at home In which was a desk he had used when he was a manufacturer. He was very particular about his stationery, using a certain kind of paper on which he bad his name and address printed in blue ink. He was very crotchety about the use of this paper and If called upon to write anything when pot a,t his desk would send for some of it. I remember I once asked him to give me an order for some securities he desired me to sell for him and when I handed him a pen and a short of my paper he required me to go to his desk and get some of his own.

On asking why he bad done this we were Informed that she had taken care of him during his last Illness, his own son having deserted him to go on a trip abroad. He had therefore given her his property In stead of leaving It to her by will. And now I must return to my fa ther’s punctiliousness with regard to his stationery. I noticed at once that this bill of sale was not written on the paper he always used. This excited a suspicion that it was not genuine.
