attack extending over about four and one-t third miles. The offensive move ment was preceded by heavy bonn bardment and clouds of asphyxiating g gases When the German infantry en- deavored to come out of their trenches for the attack, however, the barrier fire and the fire of the French rifle men stopped them everywhere, accord ing to Paris.
 The Germans in Artois were pre- vented from occupying the crater of a mine by a strong counter offensive of the French.
 In Champagne, the forest of the Ar gonne and the entire region of Yer dun, there has been much artillery activity in which Paris claims that con- siderable execution was accomplished by the French gunners.

DIG UP DORMANT CIVIC
 PRIDE WITH YOUR GARDEN
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY RI. ULLMAN

A Cripple Creek poet wrote an exqui- site little poem called, Buddy. I'm Longing for the Spring." and it so deeply echoes all our feelings. l wish I had it here for you to read For morths we have all been longing for the spring The first warm days of the late winter that begin to bring in spring millinery and spring suits be- gin to engender in us desire to dig and plant, and when spring is real ly here and has brought out the first tiny green leaves we are wild with the awakening to get busy and make our own gardens bloom.
 But spring should not only awaken a desire in us to get busy and plant our own garden. It should make us wish to see the whole neighborhood bloom. plant the empty lots with veg etables and flowers-plant the side walks, plant the window boxes, plant the walk along the yard, plant every where it will look lovely and cheery in time.
 And get your city beautiful together and get them interested. The papers for several. years have talked exten- sively of the city beautiful idea and it should be so well established there should be no real need to talk about it at all again. but somehow, with the winter and the coal bill we forget the spring and have to be reorgan- ized for the city beautiful work MT Ward. the president of the association, has asked that the workers reorgan- ize and begin to lay plans for the work of the neighborhood. If the as sociation in your neighborhood is dead start a new one; get the children in- terested; encourage them to work; fix up your neighborhood park; hold meeting; do something to make the city proud of your neighborhood.
