GREAT OFFENSIVE OF
THE ALLIES IS NOW
NEAR At HAND
INCREASING ACTIVITY SHOWN
BY FRENCH, ENGLISH AND
BELGIANS.
CLAIM THEY HAVE GAINED GROUND
Russians Also State That They Have
Made Progress at Some Points and
Checked the Offensive of the Ger
mans at Still Others.

LONDON, March 17.-With the in
creasing activities of the British,
French and Belgian armies, the ap-
pearance on the coast of Belgium of
British and French warships, and the
time drawing near for a big effort
in the west, the British public is fol-
lowing with renewed interest the dali
ly reports of operations.
The Belgians, supported by the al
lies warships, have consolidated the
ground they have won in the past
few days, while the British have done
likewise with the strip of territory
taken from the Germans near Nueve
Chapelle, and have recovered most,
if not all, of the trenches lost in st.
Elic.
simultaneously there has been
heavy fighting north of AFras, In
Champagne, in the Argonne and In the
Vosges, In which both French and
Germans claim successes.
All these operations are believed
here to be preliminary to the gen,
eral offensive the allies will under
take when the ground dries.
The Russians are even more active
than their western allies. The Ger
man offensive against Przasnysz hav-
ing failed to materialize, probably
owing to the thaw, the Russians have
undertaken the offensive, and, ac-
cording to their own account, are ad-
vancing successfully along both banks
of the Orzyc river, and have occupied
the village of Stegna, on one of the
main roads leading to Przasnysz from
the northeast. At this point they re-
pulsed a determined counter attack.
The Germans, however, say the
Russian attacks have been repealed,
and that they captured 1000 Rus
slams
In the Carpathians and in eastern
Galicia, the Russians report series
of successes against the Austro-Ger-
man armies which, despite deep snow,
have kept up almost continuous at
tacks in the Baligrod region and in
some of the central passes, in the
hope of relieving Przemysl. The Rus
slams are closing around the fortress
and their infantrymen are within ri
fle shot of the northern forts,
From unofficial sources it is learn
ed that the Russians have resumed
the offensive in Bukowina, and bat
tie is in progress near the Bukowina
frontier along the Stanislau-Kolomea
railway.

THREE LEADERS Of
THOUGHT TELL WHAT
AKEOUCATEO MAN IS
TWO HARVARD PROFESSORS
SAY THAT THE SPECIES is
EXTINCT.
WIDE VARIANCE Of OPINION
Most of Those Expressing opioinn
Upon the Educated Man of the
United States Pick Thomas A. Ed
ison as First Man.

NEW YORK, March Ills there
an educated man in the United
States?
Two professors at Harvard Univer-
sity told their classes the species
was extinct.
When the students lampooned the
statement, the professors simply
stood their ground with the challenge,
Name him!"
The boys of Harvard are doing
their level best Some of the names
submitted were rejected offhand
while the professors murmured some
thing to the effect that the candidates
knew nothing of the language of the
ancient Assyrians, nor of the philos-
ophy of Yogi. So the students are
applying the most searching tests to
the men of their choice.
1t was Thomas A. Edison, first to
reply to the Americans QUESTIONABLE,
who out of the school of experience.
echoed the sentiments of Milton in
these words: my idea Of the edu-
Gated man is one who is somewhat
familiar with every branch of the en-
vironment in which we live-social,
commercial and scientific"
Mr. Edison added, There are uA-
doubtedly many such in America, but
cannot name them offhand."
So it was with others who were
asked these questions. but some who
were canvassed, while declining to
name five educated men, insisted that
Thomas A. Edison's name should be
on every list Here are their views:
Hudson Maxim, noted inventor Of
explosives:
AS Robert Ingersoll said, College
is place where pebbles are polished
and diamonds are dimmed,' l never
studied the ancient Assyrian Ian
guages, and l haven't felt the lack of
them. The greatest philosophy OF
life is that which can be put to the
best use, and the most thoroughly ed
ucated man is the most useful. So,
taking all things into consideration,
| believe Tom Edison is the best
educated man of his day. With him
| would place Ernst Haeckel, the Ger
man philosopher"
Bishop Samuel Fallows, Of Chica-
go:
AN educated man is one who has
the widest possible knowledge and
knows how to use It; whose nerves
and muscles are thoroughly trained

THE farmers in the county seem to
be preparing to SOW oats and wheat.
In travelling from one section to an
other we have noticed many fields
where cotton grew this year being
planted in small grain. There does not
seem to be any disposition to save
the cotton land for another crop Of
cotton. 1t would seem that the farm
ers are preparing to diversity and the
good price for cotton this fall has not
had the effect of losing interest in the
cultivation of the grain crop. This is
right. Mr.. J. D. Quattlebaum, who
worked some land down near tAe resi-
dence of ar. J. F. Wheeler has already
a beautiful stand of oats in large
field. And it certainly looks pretty.

The French industrial commission is
in this country to arrange for the pur-
chase, after the war, of some $160,000,-
600 structural iron and steel and ma
chinery for industrial supplies. The
allies must expect the war to end
soon. The Germans have them about
licked and they are getting ready to
ease down. Why not stop the whole
business now and save many lives that
will be sacrificed by the continuance
of the fighting.

And Rutland Won, at That.

The Rutland Herald sporting man
evidently resented the size of players
used by the Middlebury college second
team in a game against the Rutland
high school team which the latter won.
List to his fervid description of the
dimensions Of one of the college play
ers:
The AIiddlebury team did not have
more than three tons advantage of
the locals in the matter of weight.
One Middlebury man in particular, a
veritable behemoth in q green sweater,
looked as though he weighed as much
as any two of the Rutland players.
When he numbered on to the field to
take the place of one of the college
| line-men the older spectators grew
reminiscent and discussed the passing
OF that grand old New England insti
tuition, the covered toll-brid2e. AnG
when play started the resemblance
still remained, too, and the weighty
one soon gave way to smaller MAJ
who exhibited some traces of ANNA
ton.
