the spurs of Thiepval ridge.
Ever since July 1, when the British
failed n their effort to storm 1t, Thiep-

who had kept hammering with gun
fire. The Germans seem to set the
same store by it as they did by the
heights of Ginchy and Guillemont, on
their other flank.

oners taken early in the offensive said
the British never could obtain a foot
hold on hat ridge. Those taken who
had been at Verdun said they suffered
nothing there ut all equivalent to the
deluge of British shells and that it was
impossible for human being to endure

On a thousand-yard front both the
first German line and the support
trench was taken. One pair of eyes
could not see more detail than the
correspondents saw yesterday. The
British and Germans engaged were
outlined as clearly as a play around
the second base could be seen from a
grandstand. A home company of the
national guard doing skirmish drill in
camp could not be more distinct when
seen from the side lines. 1t was the

Early ordering of supplies has
other advantages. In many sec
tions, the handling to the farms
may be done ION the snow" and
before the breakup of the roads
in the spring. When work is
least rushing is the time to put
the teams to hauling. AS soon as
the planting season opens, the
horses can hardly be spared for
hauling work except when urgent
and then at the expense of the
planting work which should be
done at once. If farmers will rea-
lie the urgency and seriousness
of the situation and will order
their supplies earlier than ever
before, the shipments can be
handled. It is a case where every
body must cooperate to bring
about the result that everybody
wants. Melvin Ryder
