GREATEST BATTLE OF
WAR NOW BEING FOUGHT
Allies Spring. Drive Against the Ger.
mans Is Started-French Take
Many Trenches,

London May 13.-Continuing what
is now declared to be the greatest BAT
tie of the war, and admitted in Berlin,
as well as announced here and in
Paris as the great spring drive of the
allies, the French gained further sue
cesses in their offensive north Of
Arras.
Repeated assaults carried the French
force partly through the town of Neu-
ville-St. WAIST, taking 200 German
prisoners there, strengthened the
French foothold in the outskirts OF
Carency, practically cutting off all Ger
man communication between that
town and Allan and carrying three
new lines of German trenches north
of Carency. The town is practically
surrounded and its capture seems GER
tain.
Included in the German night state
ment is an admission that the French
still hold the trenches captured be-
tween Carency and Melville, north of
Arras. The statement also admits that
the French gained a foothold in the
blOckhouse on Hartmannsweiler Kopf
The British official statement an
nounces repulse of German attacks
east of Ypres and south of Menin.
Berlin admits some Of the French
gains and claims success in the cap
ture Of hill of strategical Importance
from the British near Ypres. The
French admit retreat from a position
won in front of Loos, but announce
great advances at all other points and
the capture of 1900 prisoners, making
a total of 1000 taken in the successful
offensive since Sunday.
The Belgians are continuing their
advance at the User.
The greatest Importance is attached
to the French drive, as it threatens
the German lines of communication
for the armies on the Disc and the
Aisne.

It is somewhat remarkable that the

upon and entirely destroyed the very

from Corsica. 1t was a hotel kept by

the glad cry:

But" objected Deborah, IF you
know where to look for him. why take
the child? Why go yourself? Why
not telegraph TO these places p
His answer was look, quick, sharp
and enigmaticaI enough to require ex-
PLANTATION. He could not give it to her
then, but later, when Reuther had left
them, he said:
Men who fly their engagements and
secrete themselves, with or without a
pretext, are not so easily reached. We
shall have to surprise Oliver o.
trander. in order to place his fathers
message in his hands"
You may be right But Reuther?
Can she stand the excitement-the
physical strain?''
You have the harder task Of the
two, Mrs. Scoville. Leave the little
one to me. She shall not suffer"
Deborah's response was eloquent 1t
was only look, but it made his harsh
features glow and his hard eye soften.
But his thoughts, If not his hopes,
receive[ a check when, with every
plan made and Reuther IN trembling
anticipation Of the journey, he en-
countered the triumphant figure of
Flanagan coming out Of police head
quarters.
His jaunty air, his complaisant nod,
admitted Of but one explanation. He
had told his story to the chief authori-
ties and been listened to. Proof that
he had something of actual moment to
tell them; something which the dis
trict attorneys Office might feel bound
to take up.
A night of stars, seen through sway
ing treetops whose leaves crisping to
their fall, murmured gently of van
ished hopes and approaching death.

which are but the earnest of the IL
limitable stretch OF the Adirondack
woods which painted darkness on the
encircling horizon.
Within, Reuther seated in the glow
of hospitable fire of great logs, talk
ing earnestly to Mr.. Black. AS they
were placed, he could see her much
better than she could see him, his
back being to the blaze and she, in its
direct glare.
He could, therefore, study her fea-
lures without offense, and this he did
steadily and with deep interest, all the
while she was talking. He was look
ing for signs of physical weakness or
fatigue; but he found none. The
pallor of her features was a natural
paIlor, and in their expression, new
forces were becoming apparent, which
gave him encouragement, rather than
anxiety, for the adventure whose most
trying events lay still before them.
This is what she was saying:
81 cannot point to any one man of
the many who have been about US
ever since we started north. But that
we have been watched and our route
followed, l feel quite convinced. But,
as you saw, no one besides ourselves
left the cars at this station, and l am
beginning to hope that we shall re-
main unmolested till we can take the
trip to Tempest lodge. How far is it.

Crops Slightly Below Normal.

The Wisconsin state board of agri-
culture issued, a report showing that
crop conditions in the state on May 1
were slightly below normal
Since the information on which the
report is based was received consider
able rain has fallen throughout the
state and some good growing weather
prevailed Crop conditions are now
probably close to normal.
Following is the average condition
Of crops on May l, as reported to the
department, 100 per cent representing
normal condition: Winter wheat,
96.3; winter rye, $50; alfalfa, 974;
clover meadows, 96.3; timothy mead
Ows, 95.5; pastures, 81 The averages
OF May 1, 1911, were: Winter wheat,
1922; winter rye, 936; alfalfa, SO;
clover meadows, 92.1; timothy mead
oWs, 93.1. The acreage of crops as
compared with 1914 is as follows: Win
ter wheat, 1908; winter wheat, acre
ago abandoned, rs; winter rye, 99.4;
winter rye, acreage abandoned, 81;
spring wheat, 1908; spring rye, 9z.5;
oats, 1912; barley, 81; alfalfa, 1871;
clover meadows, 101.5; timothy mead
ows, $50. 1t will be noted that there
is considerable increase in the acre
age of oats and alfalfa. SeYenty-ive
per cent of the blowing was done ON
May l.
Correspondents reports on condi-
ton Of live stock show the following
percentages, 100 representing nor
nal" condition: Horses, 986; cattle,
97,3; sheep, 98.1; swine, 98.3 The per
centages of 1914 are as follows:
Horses, $50; cattle, 945; sheep, 95;
swine, 93.7. The percentage of spring
pigs saved as compared with 1914 is
101.8, spring lambs, 1921 Due to the
early spring, more lambs and pigs were
saved than a year ago. The average
wage paid for farm help is $30.15 and
reports indicate that it is not as diff
cult to secure reliable help as in for
mer years. Farm work is well ad-
vanced, soil conditions are favorable,
but rain is needed in many localities.
