BRITISH ADMIT SUCCESS
OF NEW GERMAN DRIVE
Calais Believed to Be Objective Point
of Kaiser's Troops.
LONDON. April q.

LONDON, April ~.
German troops have renewed their drive
for Calais. This is the construction placed
by British military experts upon the sud
den offensive of the kaiser's army in
Flanders. Their assaults directed against
Nprcs and the Allies forces on the west
bank Of the Ypres Canal have resulted in
victory, for the time being, at least
That the Allies have been forced to re-
treat is admitted by both Field Marshal
Sir John French and the Paris War Of
flee, though they attribute the Germans
success to the use of asphyXiating bombs.
The German troops in Flanders now are
believed to number $4,000 and more are
steadily arriving. The opinion of the mill
tary experts here is that the German Cen
eral Stan has withdrawn great forces
from the eastern theatre and transferred
them to Flanders. Ypres is considered
one of the keys to Calais. In the posi-
tons they now hold on the Ypres Canal
the Germans are less than % miles from
Dunkirk

British Losses Terrifc-Men Hit by
Own Guns.


BERLIN, April 81.
Tremendous losses have been inflicted
upon the Allies in Flanders, according
to a dispatch received from Brussels by
the Tageblatt. which states that the Ger
man army is steadily gaining ground.
"The fighting now in progress is the
most severe of the many battles that
have occurred in Flanders" says the dis
patch. The British recognize they are in
great danger at Ypres and are obstinately
contesting every foot of ground. All prep
aratons have been made to evacuate the
town, which is now under our artillery
fire.
at various points along the Flanders
front our troops have gained from four
to seven miles. French forces have re-
inforced the BelGians there. South of
LangemarCk the British infantry were
fired upon by their own guns They suf-
fered heavy casualties before they retired
from the zone of fire"

"A Man Can Make A Start TSs
ward Better Faffiiina With.
out Money"

Five years ago / thought could
not make living without raising
cotton, but every year found me
with the same old complaint
nothing to begin my next crop. on.
If made money one year / lost it
the next. My wife suggested that
we make a change-she was always
quoting The Progressive Farmer
to me. | told her that folks with
money could farm that way bat a
poor man had to make all cotton.
But finally I decided / could do
mo worse by changing my plans.
We had one milk COW and q bull.
We lost the COW, then traded the
bull for two heifers and bought an
other cow, and in q few weeks she
died. We bought an other COW on
credit and began sowing clover and
cowpeas and small grain. In the
meantime we ordered six pure bred
White Leghorn hens and cock.
We sold enough butter, chickens
and eggs to buy Jersey bull calf,
and l sold the only hog we had and
bought a pair of Duroc-J Jersey pigs.
Result: We are living at home,
have six milk cows, 10 yearlings,
a fine flock of chickens, q pretty
fair start Of hogs, plenty of veg
etables and fruit, and / consider
my land almost double in value.
My FIVE years experience trying
to farm according to The Prog res
sive Farmer proves that man can
make start toward better farming
without money to begin with. Fl.
