Mile Front.
MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Paris Official Statement Declares En-
emy's Drive Has Been Halted by
Heavy Bombardment-BeIfo
Damaged by Shells.

London, Feb. 16.-The most serious
British reverse on the western front
since last spring is revealed in an Of
fetal Berlin statement announcing the
capture Of more than half a mile of
British defenses southeast of Ypres.
Many prisoners are reported taken.
The night communique from Paris,
on the other hand, announces destruc-
tive artillery attacks on the German
defenses in Artois, the Argonne and
upper Alsace.
The statement follows:
The day was comparatively calm
In Artois we shelled the German or
CARNATIONS on the edge of the road
from Lille. West of the Disc we bonn
barded train and supply convoy in
the Empakny railways station. We
poured a destructive fire on the Ger
man works northeast of scissors.
''In the Argonne at La Falle Morte
we exploded a mine and occupied the
crater
I'm upper Alsace our artillery kept
the German positions east of Peppois
under its fire"
The Berlin statement says:
After good preparation by artillery
and mine throwers we took about 500
meters of English positions southeast
OF Ypres. A large portion of the oc-
cupants, including one officer and doz-
ems of soldiers, were taken prisoners.
'On the Lens-Bethune road we ex-
ploded a mine and occupied the era
ter. The enemy continued to shell
Lens
South of the Somme the French
made fruitless hand grenade attacks
with continuous artillery fighting.
Northwest of Reims French at
lacks with noxious gases were inef-
fective.
'In Champagne. after strong artil-
lery preparation, weak attack against
our new positions northwest of Tahure
was repulsed.
East of the Meuse there was lively
firing against our front between Fla
bas and Ornes.
During the night a French counter
attack against the positions wrested
from them by US near Obersett failed"
Berlin, Feb. 16.-Swiss papers, &C.
cording to the Overseas News agency,
report that terrific damage was caused
by the German shells which fell in the
French fortress of BelfOrt last week
Devastation was wrought in the
streets by the German artillery, fifty
houses being destroyed.
Owing to the French censorship the
number of dead and injured is not yet
known. All residents of Belfort who
were able to do so fed to Lausanne.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
Society Promotes Most Successful
Valentine Social.

The Social Committee of the Chris.
tian Endeavor Society of the Chris
tian church arranged and carried out
one of the most successful and en-.
joyable socials of the season last ev-
ening. The affair was held in the
parlors of the church, and about
thirty members of the society were
present. A brief business session
was held, and number of minor
matters disposed Of Reports from
the different committees were, heard
and approved. Following the clos.
ing OF the business session a num-
Der of games were strated which took
the combined interest of the whole
attendance. A game called a"Heart
Hunt" was quite interesting, in which
all kinds of hearts featured. Even
to the 'palpitating heart" and on
down to heart failure" there were
interesting speculations and ideas.
Miss Leila Sampson won first honors
in the heart hunt. The Fortune
Telling Heart, made quite a hit with
the company. There were such
hearts featured as, five times welded,
single blessedness, despair. while
there is life there is hope, etc.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the program was the proposal"
stunt, in which the leap year idea
was carried out. There was a lot of
merriment over this game, and
whether or not there will be any re-
suits from the proposals remains to
be seen.
Plans were made by the society to
have a social each month at the blSi.
ness meetings. and it is hoped that
the interest in the society will be
stimulated by these socials. The
committee last evening was compos-
ed of the following people: Miss LII
cile Muckler, chairman, Miss Ava
Blair, Miss Marilla Colville, Miss Leila
Sampson, Floid Hatcher and Harry
Hedge. They served ice cream and
cake, and even the ice cream had
hearts in it.
