To the north, where the French
Belgian forces are operating against
the left flank of the grand dukes
army, more ground was gained among
the sand dunes to the north Of Lom-
baertzyde and northeast of Newport,
while the allies occupying ST.. Georges,
two miles south of Newport, were
compelled to Withstand furious
bombardment by the Germans, who
attempted unsuccessfully to recap
ture the town which was taken from
them in surprise two days ago.
Operations along the remainder of
the Flanders front have been stopped
by the condition of the ground and
the effect of the gale.
Germans BOmbard Arras.
Arras was again under lombard
ment during all of the day, the Ger
mans Smelling the allies position with
desperation in an attempt to regain
some of the ground taken during the
sharp advances Of the past week.
Renewed activity of the German ar
tillery was also manifested in the
region of Roye and along the valley
Of the Aisne, but the violence of the
German fighting was met with equal
force by the French gunners and
there was no change in the situation.
In the Champagne district the
French infantry again took the Often
sive and made progress at certain
points.
That the Germans realize the I'm
portance of the movement being de-
veloped by the French On the right
was evidenced by the resumption all
along the line from the Argonne to
the Mcselle, of their artillery at
tacks. These were delivered with
great energy, particularly against the
French position on the heights of
the Meuse.
A,iators Show Daring.
In the Vosges district the Germans
made a sharp attack on Tete-de-FauX.
but they were repulsed with great
losses.
On the line from Steinbach, which
the French have invested, past Carney
to Asbach, the French are strength
ening their positions against the pos
lsibility of huge German counter at
tacks and artillery engagements have
been fought all along this front.
Great daring is being displayed by
the French aviators in reconnoiter-
ing the positions of the Germans in
| this vicinity, the flying being particu-
larly perilous because of the storm
and the tremendous pockets created
| by the peculiar mountainous charac-
ter of the terrain. However, they
| have been able to keep the French
! CORPS commanders informed of all
German movements and these gener-
ally have been met with effective Of

The literacy test to which President
Wilson objects in the immigration

The literacy test will merely bar

We read a great deal about cur own

to buy much Of their merchandise

would infinitely prefer to- buy at
home, and it is the merchants fault
that they do not. Many persons have
visited the stores here to thy and find
what they want in quality and price,
and failing to Go so are compelled to
send elsewhere. 1t is only human
nature to get d better article for the
same money, when or where you can.
Until the merchants meet quality
and price of other cities, these con-
ditions will continue 1t is often re-
marked by strangers that merchand-
