ne curtain of fire was so effao+iva that the Germans were unab1o +o aa,,,, 1000 to the front line. Men in these trenches were starving for days.
 The nightly raids on Garr,.p trenches accounted for many of tbo oelenders of these positions, and also enabled the British to observe inc of. rect or the artillery fire during the preceding day, and thus returned with much valuable information.
 The number of prisoners taken in these raids has not been disclosed but the correspondents have been permitted to say that men were can Iured from every battalion in the Ger. man line opposite the British forces,
 Will Affect German Morale.
 The information thus obtained shows that not single German regi. ment has been removed from thie front, The number of Germans op- poslte the British front and in re serve behind the lines was estimated month ago at SO0,000
 The sector of the German front on which u British have assumed the offensive forms a considerable bulge in the British line. The southern end rests on the Somme, which is for midable river in military operations, because it breaks into many channels flowing thorugh a broad marsh. espe. clally at places where it has not been surveyed. It is broad, rolling coun- try over which the British are push Ing, although different from the fiat marshy and bleak aspect of Elan ders. Its rounded chalk hills are densely wooded.
 At many points on this sector of the British front it is possible to see the trenches of the Germans winding about the opposite slopes. A military expert, writing of the offensive, says
 Tt is safe to say the Germans nev CT expected great attack in this country. We may hope, therefore, for a reduction of the German salient there and the securing of better strategic positions. Far more impor tant than that, it is certain that this attack will be very destructive to the morale of the German troops. But what must be borne in mind now is the much greater length of front the British hold. We attacked on about one-quarter of the length of oul front"

Assessment Reduced.

The Supreme Court ordered the as. sessments on 5.471 acres of land in Cleveland county belonging to the Drew County Timber Company cut from So an acre to s an acre. The timber company had asked the reduc- ton from the lower courts, but in each instance it was denied. The Supreme Court reversed the decision, with in- structions to make the reduction prayed for. There was no merit in the companys contention that the cir, cult court erred in refusing to give it a trial by jury. however, the court held.

Add May of Moving.

"On moving it's stock to another building a wholesale dry goods com pany, at Wheeling, W. Va, recently nursued an unusual scheme in order to expedite the work" says the Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine. "The struc- ture which it abandoned is situated l1n- mediateIy across the street from the new location. This convenient clrcum- stance prompted the construction Of temporary bridge, to connect the sec ond-storv windows of both buildings over which the goods could be carried m trucks. The plan proved success full for it saved the time and labor which otherwise would have been con snned in loading and unloading wag- ons and lowering goods to the first floor foo in one structure and elevating them to the second story in the other one"

Natural Born Spender.

When a long-forgotten cousin in Colorado died, and left Miss Mitfield round hundred thousand, the entire village. after having recovered from the shock, fell to wondering whether the faded little spinster, after having tor sixty-three years pinched and scraped and plain-sewed just to keep soul and body together, would, after all, get much comfort from her eleventh-hour opulence. The state of Miss MitfieId's mind was revealed when her next-door neighbor inquired what she would do with her money did she mean to save it? Save it! Her eyes flashed with new-found scorn. Listen to me, Betsy; all my life long I've wanted a pair of side combs with yellow glass beads onto em. and now I'm goin' to hev 'em; yes. maam-even if l hey to go as high as fifty cents!"
