British troops. who have been essaying
the offensive between st. Eloi and the
Ypres Canal, have succeeded. according to

ing two lines of outlying trenches pre-
yiously taken from them by the Germans

inents since Sunday. Elsewhere along
the entire battle front the exchanges are
confined to the artillery.
The previous reports of the success by
the French artillery in silenting the fre
of the Germans at several points, notably
In the Souain and Argonne regions, are
confirmed. 1t is stated that the French
artillery is being used all along the en-
tire line TO silence and dismount the big
German guns.
tThe French claim is directly contra
dicted by today's official statement from
Berlin. which declares that British coun-
ter-attacks at St Eoi were repulsed)

ITALY REFUSES TO JOIN
NEUTRAL LEAGUE ON SHIPS
Proposes to Stand Alone in Protec-
tion of Maritime Rights.

ROME, Feb. l6.-Italy has refused to
Join proposed league of neutral Powers
with the object OF a common defense OF
neutral shipping against Germany's
threatened blockade of British ports. This
refusal is on the grounds that Italy is
fully prepared to defend It's own shipping
unaided; besides, 1t is determined to re-
tam a complete freedom of action.
The Italian Government has formally
notified Germany that II viii not tolerate
acts OF war against Italian shipping,
which the Government considers is un-
warranted, since the threatened blockade
OF British ports is utterly illegal unless
effective.

child said, Il will not let a lie come
into my heart" But the Little Lie
said, I'm Little White Lie. No
one would ever think | was a Lie at
all because I'm so different from every
other Lie. You are such a nice child
that would not want you to take a
common Lie into your heart"
This sounds very WE'LL" said the
child, Il will let you in" So the child
took the Little Lie into his heart.
Do you know what happened? Do
you think one lie can be different from
another lie?
1 will tell you what happened. That
Little Lie, when it had come into the
child's heart, opened the door to every
other Lie, big and little, black and
white The childs heart was soon Sc
full of lies that there was a lie in
everything the child said. The lies
crept into all the cllilds thoughts and
words, until everyone said:

child tells u.s."
This was all because the child lei

Let us learn a lesson from this and

Lie knocks and says, Let me in We
must answer, Go away, and never
come here again"
