Latest Fighting Shows
Allies Able to Win at WILL;
Then Hold Captured Points
BY Associated Press

Paris, July Z. 5.44 A. M.-Yester-
days defensive fighting has given
almost as much satisfaction to the
French as the previous days captures,
for, they say, ii has clearly shown that
the entente allies not only are able to
win positions from the Germans wher-
ever they like, hut also are able to hold
those positions when won.
The first German counter attack was
launched in the night in the Hem sec
ton, north of the canaliZed Somme
river. The Germans succeeded in car
rying two small woods situated south
OF the Clery- NJ ericourt road, a few
hundred yards from the sugar works
bordering that road.
The French troops there, being more
or less in the air, fell back on the vii
lage, and, swinging their left wing
slightly, captured another small wood
at the northeastern end of the village
close to the Hem brick field and along
the edge of the road from Clery to
change in the situation throughout the
twenty-four hours during which the
counter offensive lasted.
Bring Up Reserves
At the beginning Of the battle there
were behind the front assigned to the
French attack twenty-seven German
battalions drawn from the One Hun
dred and Twenty-first division and
from regiments of the Seventeenth
army corps.
Between July l and July the Ger
man commanders sent up to the
Peronne front four reserve divisions,
of which two already are declared to
be virtually out of commission. The
other reserves brought up from differ
ent points between Rheims and the
Somme were OF a most heterogeneous
nature. One battalion of the guard
which was annihilated had been
formed from several different bat
talions.
no doubt that the rapidity of the
French advance, if not the advance
itself, took the Germans by surprise.
This. they assert, is shown by their not
having provided an adequate supply
of reserves for such contingency.

Father said he knew where it was,
but he would not tell me.

MINNIE CAT ADOPTS
CHICKS AND KITTENS

Minnie-Cat was cross and would
not let three little chicks come
near her Minnie was our old grey
cat and the three chicks were poor
motherless things only two days
old. Something had caught the old
hen and eight of her chicks dur
ing the night, and these poor lit
tie things were left to themselves.
They were tiny and helpless and
spent most of their time in crying.
Minnie was cross to then and be-
fore night came she had killed one.
The next morning Minnie found
four little kittens which she claim
ed for her own. They were In one
corner of the barn, near the place
where the fowls were kept. She
was SO happy now that she forgot
to be GROSS to the chicks; she was
even very friendly to them, and be-
fore night we found them costly
nestled at her side with the kittens
The chicks and kittens did not
look much like brothers and sis
ters, but 1t was pretty sight to
see them together. The chicks
were quite contented and the old
cat seemed to think as much of
them as of her kittens.
They spent most of the time with
her for several days, and then a
little girl to whom we had given
the chicks, came and took them
away. And this is the end of the
little chickens at my house.
This happened at my house last
summer.
