under cover of terrific bombardment from
the German field guns, the infantry at
tempted an advance in force, but the
shell fire from the French guns, both
heavy and quick firing, was so wither-
ing that the massed ranks OF the on
coming attackers were torn and wilted
by the raking volleys. Compelled to re-
tire in the face of the brilliant resistance
offered by the French, the Germans re-
covered and with reformed ranks re-
turned to the attack again, but with no
better results.
Whole Villages Razrd.
About Lille the destruction caused by
the furious fighting of the last week has
been terrific. Whole villages have been
razed in the path of the shells as the
Germans were driven back, step by step.
into Lille. Thousands of non-combatants
have been killed, as some OF the villages
were shelled by both the Germans and
the allies. In one town 5000 dead Ger
mans were found after a days fighting
and one whole family Of civilians was
wiped out
Great gains in ground-from fifteen to
twenty miles in some places-have been
made by the French and British in this
advance on Lille.
III lhS HBullIB IN Ine nOrtn, Where the
left wing army is heavily engaged aided
by the British and the Belgians, attacks
by the Germans in considerable force
have been repelled near Dixmude and
around Warneton, while at Armentieres,
Radinghen and La Basse furious assaults
by the invaders failed to make any i'm
preston on the allied lines. AS a mat
ter of fact, the allies were able to ad-
vance their positions at several points,
Immediately digging themselves in. At
Fricourt, east Of Albert. a German ad-

suits to the enemy.

Activity was renewed farther south,
when the enemy entrenched on the pla-
teau Of Craonne, resumed the Offensive
and was repulsed after a violent attack
The vicinity Of Souan was the scene of
a hard-fought battle, but the allies sue
ceeded in maintaining their positions
firmly.
In the Argonne the allies were able
during the day to advance between st.
Pubert and lie Four de Paris southwest
OF Varennes while some ground was
gained to the north OF Verdun, namely,
at Paumont and Brabant-Sur-M Meuse.

SAFETY FIRST.

The movement to enforce the city
ordinances governing automobiles,
motorcycles, or operating any vehicle
at a greater rate of speed than pro-
vided for by law should be carried to
strict accountability. It has been
too long delayed. The recklessness
with which some drivers operate
their machines about the city, espe-
cially on Main street, has not only
been dangerous but disgusting to
those who have respect for law en-
forcement and the rights of pedes-
TRANS. The reckless drivers in Keo-
kuk are not numerous but sufficiently
SO to involve those who drive careful
ly and obey the law and have regard
for human life. The movement on
the part OF the public safety depart
ment to force obedience to the ordi-
nance is commendable and the way
to make 1t easy is for the drivers to
obey 1t.

No governor OF Iowa has ever. dur
Ing his first term in office. spoken to
SO many of the Iowa people or dis
cussed so frankly and fearlessly with
the common people the matters which
interest them, as Governor Clarke.
He has manifested his firm faith in
the honesty and good sense OF the
people by going right to them to dis
cuss every question at issue. He was
never known to hedge or dodge on
any question. No governor was ever
more ready to admit mistakes if he
has made them and to correct an err
ror when it is pointed out. The worst
that has been said of him is that he
is not a politician and never resorts
to any of the arts OF the professional
vote catcher.

TOO Much Red Tape.

Montrose Journal: After seven
months of waiting for a new bridge
to be placed over Sugar Creek be-
tween New Boston and Argyle, to re-
place the one condemned and torn
down last October, 1913. our dreams
were realized last Friday IA inst. by
the arrival Of the steal for the same.
Altogether too much red tape for the
common people to understand. The
county supervisors claim that the
state highway commissioners held up
all plans, but no report comes from
them. Then comes the engineers at
so much per diem. County superv1s-
ors with their charge for locating a
place to put all bridges and culverts.
Then another chargs for relocating,
ETC., and then, we'll we hope this
bridge will be built and that soon.

Judging from the comment made,
the primary law in Iowa is not popu-
lar 1t requires too much prepara-
ton. It takes the time Of candidates
and also their cash. 1t largely pre-
vents a poor man from making the
race for a state office and works a
hardship on the poor man who wants
a county office. We may be little
old fashioned in this respect but the

RAIN.
Rain, and the storm-washed beach,
And the sob Of the tide,
And the gray of the skies that reach
From the vast outside.
And the blur Of seagull's wing
On the far away
That seems but storm-tossed thing
In a world OF gray.
Rain, with its rush in my face.
With its tang on my cheek,
Whirling its anger through space
In its effort to speak.
And the soul Of the world in the wall
And the thrill OF the sea
That speaks in the shrill OF the gale
To the soul In me.

As abruptly he changed again,
