SHE DIDN'T

At the burning of a barn in Steel
recently our county superintendent
displayed some nerve and pluck.
Miss Human did not wait for the
men to get there, but fastened to the
barn without stopping to dress, and
in bare feet united the horses before
they had become manageable,
thus saving them with little trouble.
There is not a man, we venture to
say, in all Steel but what would have
stopped to put on his pants before
venturing out into the crisp air, but
she didn't, her whole thought being
of the dumb animals imperiled there.
It was, indeed, a nervy and cool

German officers with whom the As

the Anglo-French armies have gained
successes in their Somme offensive

But they declare that these successes

On the other hand, they express
themselves as convinced that the Ger

Of the detailed movements OF the

estimate, but the view is held here
that the FRENCH have attacked with
greater success than the British. At

will never breach the German lines

The German troops, officers and

ticularly in the 9sse of the men lark

quarters and among the detachments
