fronts to the east, away from their
chief lines Of communication.
The French and British have suc-
ceeded In the first Of these offensives
since the week began, but In the Sec
ond they have consistently failed.
Hence, both sides have made rishtfui
use Of laconic optimism in their official
reports.
The more important Of the weeks
successes have been Germany's moves
Of most vital consequence, that her
railway communications be safely
guarded. The allies, while advancing
to the north, have been showed further
to the west which means a greater
distance separates them from the Ger
man communications at the end Of tho
week than in the beginning. As the
allies Iensthen their line to the north,
heavily strengthening It throughout,
the Germans must do likewise. High
ability has been demonstrated by the
Germans this week in remouldiE:
their southern and eastern battle
fronts to answer the VESTS call for re-
Endorsements. Nevertheless the time
must come when the superior number
Of the allies will tell az the battle line
continues to cover more and more
ground. Gaines reported by the French
along the eastern Franee-German
frontier are undoubtedly due to the
withdrawal Of German troops for Won
kIuck's and Won 6oehn's support.

LAD SHOT IN EYE
MAY LOSE SIGHT
East Moline Boy Victim of Third
Accident of Similar Nature
In Few Days.

Leonard Richards. 9-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Richards. 400
State street, East Moline, may lose
the sight of his right eye as the re-
suit of being shot with an air rifle
in the hands of playmate. This is the
third accident OF this nature to hap
pen within the last few days in this
vicinity.
Richard, with several older boys,
was playing in a ditch under cul-
vert about o'clock last evening. One
of the boys, about 10 years old, whose
name is not known, deliberately
pointed the gun at the unfortunate lad
and fired. The shot struck the
boy squarely in the right eye cutting
it badly. He was hurried to a special
lists Office in this city and the injury
dressed. If complications do not de-
velop the sight of the eye may be
saved.
Warren Marshall, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. D. Marshall, who was hurt
Saturday, is believed to be out of dan
ger now, though there is no chance TO
save the use of the eye.
