They don't dare send plane over our

Tired Tropical Trees,

The condition of life in a tropical for est is sunlight, and to get to the top, constant aim of every tree. They have no winters rest in the tropics, and they are so hard at work all day long that at night the trees seem quite tired out. From dawn to sunset the trees are hard at work. You can almost see some of them growing, and, as may naturally be supposed, they must have a little rest at night. The tree is thor oughly exhausted, its branches lose their stiffness, while the leaves droop and fold themselves together. Unlike those of temperate climates, the trees of the tropics all, more 'or less, show signs of exhaustion toward sunset.

GERMANS START
 BIC OFFENSIVE
Smash at Whole Russian Line
 on Eastern Front.
CROSS ROUMANIAN BORDER

Blow Designed to Crush King Ferdi-
 Pressure Among Heaviest Dealt In
 War-British Drive Bulears Back.
 Claim Gain Tn the Somme.
 With the defeated ROumanian armies struggling desperately along their own frontier line in the Transylvanian Alps to stem the thrush of Germans and Austro-H -Hungarians into their country the central powers have launched a new great offensive far to the north east designed to tighten the pressure of the Russian armies along their eastern front.
 The first blow of the offensive was struck south of Darna Watra, in the eastern Carpathians not far from the triangular point where Roumania, Blu kowina and Pennsylvania join.
 Official announcements from Petro- grad state that the Austro-Germans are employing great forces' in the move ment, which aims apparently at out fanking the Russians and thereby light ening the immense pressure they are bringing to bear against the German and Austro-Hungarian army groups de lending Lemberg.
 Teutons Drive Russians.
 The first honors of the battle are with the Teutons. An official state ment issued in Berlin and supported by a similar declaration from Vienna an nounces that the Russians have been driven back across the valley of the Heagra river.
 Aside from this new movement the battles in Volhynia and Galicia and Won Falkenhayn's drive against the Russians on the Pennsylvania line con- tinues to be marked by the fiercest fighting.
 The former chief of the German gen eral staff is smashing without intermis- sion at the Roumanian armies and at one point has crossed the frontier. He has crossed the mountain barrier and opened the vast Roumanian plain as field of operation. The Austro- Ger. mans are battling less than eighty miles in an air line from Bucharest.
 Roumanians Fighting Hard.
 Heartened by re-enforcements hur- riedly rushed to the front to stay the retreat of their comrades whose mor- ale was shattered by their Kronstadt and Hermannstadt experiences, the Roumanians are making a gallant bat tie in the mountains. The most deter mined resistance Is at the vital point of their front, where, seven miles be- yond their own frontier, they are bat tling desperately to hold up Von Fal- kenhayn's advance toward Rocaru.
 Official announcements from Bucha- rest are to the effect that the Rouman- ian line is holding firmly and that at one place the Austro-G Germans have been driven back across the Transyl- vanian border.
 The British report slight gains on the Struma front, having driven the Bulgars back at one or two points. In France local fighting continues. with both sides claiming victory.
