 !; Like the Champagne operation, that in Artois remains incomplete. The allies have not broken through, they have not reached their immediate objective. but they have taken positions, which if held may lead to the retreat of the Germans and theAcduisition of the points aimed at. Retirement from Lens and La Bas- see would threaten the German position in Lille. It would also compel the Ger mans to make their next stand in the low plain east of the Artois ridge and west of Douai, where the country is far less advantageous for trench work. Finally 1t would give the allies possession of the Paris-ArrAs-D Dunkirk railroad. one of the two great trunk lines which Is in Ger man hands from the environs of Arras to the outskirts of Lens south of Loos
 Probably the next month will determine whether the Germans can hold on either at Lens or at Sommepy. But there is no prospect now that their front in either region can be pierced; and the most that will be attained is the reconQuest of some parts of French soil and the relief of certain inlperilled French positions.

Death Lurks in the Teeth


 It is an unrefuted fact that the gen eral health depends largely upon the condition of the teeth and oral cavity. Almost any systemic disorder, such as stomach and intestinal trouble, anaemla and other blood disorders. disease of the joints, heart and nerve affections, neuritis and neuralgia can arise from their neglect. Even appendicitis, inn paired mentality, insomnia. melan- cholia and seizures stimulating epilepsy have been traceable to pernicious root abscesses of the teeth which were, not reeyaled by local pain, did not respona to pressure, the application Of heat or cold and in most instances were abso- lutely unsnspected by the sufferer These naladies. as pr. Alonzo Milton Nodine, an eminent dental surgeon says, "have been relieved and. ire quently cured when the dentist has discovered root abseesses, persistent IT. ritation in or about the teeth and jaws or removed inapactAd teeth and hidden roots and unhygfeniq and irrita ting crowns, bridge york; plates and fill ings and corrected warped and con tracted dental archess

ly fighting, not to advance, but to hold their gains. a small fraction of which seems to have been lost.
 Measured by the standar dof Macken- sens first drive in Galicia, the battle of the Dunajec-or of Gorlice, as some Ger man writers call it-Joffre's success is slight. Mackensen got through all the Russian lines and fatally weakened the Russian hold in Galicia in his first battle. But his opponents were destitute of artil- lery ammunition; it was rifles against cannon. The Germans in Champagne had ammunition and were able to get more promptly
 On the other hand, measured by earlier French and British efforts in the west. the Champagne operation was highly en- couraging. The surrender of so many Germans came as a surprise. Nothing like it had been seen in the war. Yet the first success unquestionably encouraged too great hopes; the later events did much to destroy these. Tho advance to the Rhine had not begun. The great drive was after all only tremendous "nibble." Neither in the Argonne nor before Rheims were the Germans forced to yield any large amount of ground.

Arthur f. Sumner of Halifax, charged
with grand larceny in the theft of an OK
last fall from. Adolphus H. Root OF Hall
fax, was sentenced yesterday after
noon in municipal court by Judge Frank

TO make restitution to Mr. Root and to
three others from whom, the court under
stood, he had confessed to stealing cattle,
and to serve not more than two years
nor less than one year and 10 months at

The prison sentence was suspended upon
condition that the other provisions of the
sentence be carried out, and Sumner waa
placed on probation for the length Of the
minimum prison sentence.
Sumner had acknowledged stealing tie

from Walter Beaudry Of Heath, Mass, a
thrce-year-old steer from Frank Daniels
OF Adamsville, Mass, and tive-year-old
COW from Meryin Fairbanks He was first
arrested ON a civil process over a week

POSSESSION OF
FARM IN DISPUTE
Edward Coleman of Guilford Gets De
cision by Justice Whitney
Lenois Sets Up Offset.

If the order of Justice Harold f.
Whitney, who heard the evidence in
an eiectment ease last week. is car
ried out there Will be change in the
tenants Of GuilfOrd farm within n
few days.
A. W. Lenois took possession Of q
farm in Guilford June /. 1914. under
lease from Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Coleman which provided that he should
pay the Colemans $1S.75 each quart y
and feed the hay and fodder grown on
the place to the stock. Coleman claim,
ed that Lenois failed to make either
of the first two payments.
Last January Coleman made arrange
ments to take two or three tons OF
hay, and did so against the protest o.
Lenois. Lenois set up the claim that
the value Of this hay was more thar
an offset for what was due for rem
and that Coleman was not entitled Il
recover.
The plaintiff, Coleman, claimed tina
as the hay was to be fed to the stoeI
on the farm its value was only wha
it was worth to be fed to the stock
He claimed that he was entitled t,
possession of the farm and to recove
| the accrued back rent.
Justice Whitney decided that tn
plaintiff was entitled to possession o
| the farm and gave Judgment 10 tha
| effect with costs. The plaintiff agree
not to press the matter Of back rent
| provided the defendant vacated TIL
| farm within a reasonable time. Fai
! ure to do this would result in the Is
