Offensive Taken by French Be-
tween MeuSe and Mo-
Selle, However.
ENGLAND AGAIN SHOWS UP.
Two More Ships Are Sent to
the Bottom in Channel
by Submarines.

London, April 7.-Although the
French are conducting a sustained
offensive between the Mouse and
the Moselle in an effort to dislodge
the Germans from st. Mihiel, the
southernmost point of their line, the
allied armies as a whole appear to
be awaiting the outsome of Russia's
gigantic plan to force the Carpathian
barrier.
Germany is believed to be pouring
troops into Hungary, even to the ex-
tent of weakening her forces in
Flanders, and Vienna tonight notes
the presence and recounts the sue
cess of German and Austrian troops
in the Laboreza valley.
There is less talk in England of the.
spring advance in France and Bel
GUM, and an increasing apprecia-
ton of the task Russia is attempting.
This leads to belief in some quart
ers that the allies in the west, reck-
oning on the heavy cost incident to
smashing the German lines there.
perhaps may seek only to hold their
ground, in the belief that the Rus
SLAMS will invade Hungary, ultimate
ly to join hands with the allied
forces.
Thus, what their opponents re-
gard as the weakest of the Teutonic
allies Austria Hungary, would be in
vaded without the loss of life that
an attempt to drive the Germans
from France and Belgium would en-
tail.
Meanwhile, it is argued, the bonn
bardment of the Dardaneles will be
continued at the shortest, if most
costly method of crushing Turkey.
Reports that Smyrna again has been
bombarded lack official confirmation
and the absence of news from the
Dardanelles is taken by some to
mean that important operations are
under way.
British forces, in occupying
Warmbad, German Southwest Afri-
ca, have taken what is considered
the southern capital and the termi-
nus of the railway system.
Excluding active military opera
tons, the questions of munitions
and alcohol dominate the public
mind in Great Britain.

lament reassembles April Ia, but
the idea of general prohibition is no,
seriously entertained. The authorf-
ties seem to hope that the desired
results will be obtained by volun-
tary abstinence, coupled with re-
on saloons.

Is "Sallet" Obsolete?

The Hopkinsville Kentuckian, per
It's editor, Charles M. Meacham, OBJ
71ects to The Tennessean and Ameri-
cans calling it "sallet." observes
that The Tennessean and American
is too good a paper to adhere to
anything that Webster says is obso-
lete, and that "sa'al" is too good to
be labeled so that when you call for
it the waiter will bring you helmet
of the fifteenth century.
We are deeply thankful for the
kind words in that same contained.
But we wish to say that we have
never made any slightest reference
to salad" and nothing else. Web
ster had nothing to do with it. We
doubt if Samuel johnson had any
thing to do with it. The word came
across the English channel with
William the Conquerer, we think, of
Latin origin undoubtedly, and sal
let' fiourished for some centuries on
good English ground. Then it cross-
ed to the American colonies. In an
evil day, it suffered, and is no longer
known in most parts of this land.
But it grows still, with luxuriance
undiminished, throughout Tennessee
and Kentucky and some plats of
ground adjacent. The waiter in
this region who does not know what
you want when you call for "sallet"
would probably bring you acqua
forts when you call for water, and
D. it is not worth while trying to
make yourself ineligible to him.
But Brother Meacham knows what
'sallet," is, and every reader of his
paper knows. The Tennessean and
American believes that any word
good enough for the rank and file of
the folks is good enough for 1t. 1t
does not matter at all that Webster
says it is obsolete. Andif Brother
Meacham persists in appealing to
Webster we shall be forced to believe
that Brother Meacham himself is OBJ
solete-remembering that IL ne is
obsolete we must be trending that
way ourself. for it has not been so
many years ago that he would oc-
cupy more of the attention Of the
sweethearts Of the Kentucky press
than was pleasing TO US. what time
we foregathered from the mountains
and the blue grass and the bear grass
aud the pennyrile and the purchase
for our few days of frolic. Ten.
