The War.

On February 2I the Germans
captured so yards of the first
line Ere nch position in Artois, and
the next day followed the advance
by occupying the mound woods and
q French salient north of Douau-
mont in the Verdun region. Coin
cident with these German successes
it was reported that the Italian
forces had conquered the mountain
Gus zone of Calvo between the Lar
ganza and Cegnio Torrents in the
Sueana Valley region, and had also,
occupied the towns of Ronchi and
Roncegno. This section lies about
Is miles east of Trent. In the
east the Russians have resumed in
a violent way their offensive drive
against the Turks in Galicia and
Poland. The Turkish force is~re.
ported to have suffered a very
heavy defeat by the Russians,
losing some of their large towns;
one important Persian city $50
miles from the British Tieris posi-
rion.
Important as these victories are,
yet the most important events are
still in the fields of diplomacy.
Our own conutry is at this moment
playing as important part as the
nation actually ingaged in the
carnage of war-and the end is not
yet.

parents in the training of the children.
Light refreshments prepared by the
domestic science department of the
high school were served at the close Of
the meeting.

freshments. April second being Cliff
ford's fathers birthday the young

were responsible for the delightful oc-
casion.
