ON VESLE LINE
Diminished Activity Gives Rise
to Suspicion Enemy is Pre
. paring to Abandon Line .
South of Aisne.
By Associated Pess.
WLli the American Army on the
Vesle Front, Aug. 24. The dimin
ished v activity of the German army
north of the Vesle today gave rise
to the suspicion that the enemy was
preparing to abandon the ground
south of the Aisne before being com
pelled to do so by the rapidly men
acing allied flank movement north
of Soissons.
Observers reported today that the
German long range cannon north of
the Aisne were firing in the direc
tion of Soissons. They also reported
seeing smoke from fires which burned
all night at various points between
the Vesle and the Aisne.
Pn'cnnffra rrrmtlv taken declare

If the Will is in your

find the Way.
"Weak heart ne'er won fair lady," nor anything else
in the world,
Ter contra, the stoutest heart Imaginable may lead
to destruction unless tempered with discretion. No one
- doubted the, courage of the bull who rushed at the on
coming train with lowered head but his discretion, or
rather lack of it, was his undoing.
The WILL to do a thing must not be mistaken for
the Wish to possess Ambition, Determination, Willingness

Ability to force difficulties and obstructions wit to
surmount and to overcome them singleness of purpose
hard work, and perseverance, make possible the "WAY."
What has this to do with Dentistry! 'Just this: 1
had the WILL to become more than an "ordinary" den
tist . I did not SEEK the spotlight neither did I avoid
it. I KNEW dental prices could be lowered without sac
rificing dental efficiency or quality one iota; I knew much
if not all the pain attendant upon dental operations eould
be ameliorated or eliminated and I KNEW the man who
, attempted ,to , prove it was due to run the gauntlet of
criticism and abuse of those who did not understand his
motives, and many of those who understood them fully.

not progress and did not want anyone else to; the sus
picion of those who look with disfavor on men who "do
things;" and the abuse of those who are ever ready to
throw mud upon those whom they can neither control nor
equal.
Because I had the WILL, the WAY was. provided.
It was not easy, but possible, and the very satisfactory,
growth of this dental practice is the best possible proof
that my "WAY" is pleasing the people, even though it
does not please everybodys
