Clean Un Werk

A town or city is as dirty or as
attractive and clean as its people
make it. 1t cannot rise above the level
OF its citizens. Do we realize that q
dirty town is made up of dirty house
holds, inefficient citizenship-that;
Keeping our town unclcan is n confess
SION to unclean individual homes. If
we pciieVe III our town and have tcs-
tilted to this belief by investing in prom
erty or business venture. cant wc
increase our property values by de-

Remember, that committee. howev-
er well organized, can't keep Il town
clean; neither can an efficient Health
Board, Town Council or Sanitary laws
IL takes concerted action, community
PRIDE of all classes and in all see

ALSO, 1t must be remembered that
1t IS not enough to be clean yoursclf

"Clean-up-weck" is getting popular
throughout the country. Why? Be-
cause it means getting together in

GERMANS STRIKE
ENGLISH COAST
kaisers Cruisers Do Harm by
Smelling Enemy-Irish in Re-
volt - Russians Suffer
Heavy Losses in Battle

A revolutionary outbreak in Ire.
land, in which British troops and vol
unteers sustained relatively heavy cas-
ualties and raid by German bat
tie cruiser squadron on the east coast
of England, in which the raiders cs-
capped after having bombarded Lowe
estoft and hit two British cruisers
and destroyer, are the outstanding
features Of the war.
, So far as has been made public the
revolution in Ireland has not extend
ed beyond Dublin, where members of
the Sim Fein Society on Monday
captured the post office and other
points in Dublin and in fighting which
ensued with the troops and Loynlists
,illcd at least eleven of the city's de-
tenders and wounded nearly a score
of others. What the losses Of the
revolutionists were has not been dis
covered. The British government as
serts that the situation in Dublin
now is we'll in hand.
The German battle cruiser squad
ron made it's attack on Lowestoft,
opening fire on the coast and killing
two men, one woman and child. The
British light cruisers, torpedo boat
destroyers and aircraft chased the
Germans who put back hastily tow
ard Germany. Two British cruisers
and destroyer were hit by German
shells, but none was sunk. Whether
the Germans suffered any damage
is not known.
Except in Lorraine there has been
entire absence of infantry fighting on
the western front. The big guns,
however, have continued their rain of
shells on opposing positions at var
.ous points. AT La Chapelotte in
Lorraine, the Germans launched a
heavy infantry attack against the
French which was repulsed. Some of
The Germans obtained footing in IL
part of the French saliant, but later
were driven out with heavy losses.
Around Hill 304 and in the RECON of
Eshes and Cumicrcs, northwest of
Verdun, the bombardmcnt continues
intense. To the east of Verdun,
around NIoulainvlle, there also has
been n violent bombardment, in the
Argonne the French have destroy
cd with their guns german post.
RUSSIANS SUFFER LOSSES
On the eastern front near Gar
bunovlla, the Russians made heavy
attack against the Germans, but, ac-
cording to Berlin, were repulsed with
|sanguinary losses. Heavy artillery en-
gagemets are still in progress in the
upper Cordevole and Monte San
Michele zones of the Austro-Italan
front.
The British official communication
from Mosopotamia says the British ar
from Mesopotamia says the British
are still holding their lines on the
right bank of the Tigris against the
Turks, and have somewhat extended
them at one point by driving in the

AIRY, earnings amounted to S1S,79I.-

earnings of $25,00O,00O, with totnl
Of not less than $70,O0O,000 for the
