"A few days ago we launched an at
tack which We had hoped would end in
our capture OF some French trenches.
For more than twelve hours previously
our artillery had concentrated its fire
on these trenches. Then our infantry
advanced, but We found the French
machine guns absolutely intact, and
they were turned against us with such
deadly effect that the first wave Of our
troops was annihilated before the men
had got away from their trench.
After that the French artillery
opened a curtain fire. which made every
attempt to attack hopeless. We are
now in a irst-line trench about 100
yards from the French. The weather

He is harder on himself than on any
one else. He eats very little, finishes
his dinner in twenty minutes and i'm

When he speaks to his men it is with

Despite his sixty-four years, Rrus-

Clean Up Day a Success

Lawn mowers, shovels, rakes, hoes, wheelbarrows, etc, were all busy Tuesday and Wednes- day. The city of Brinkley wit messed a genuine cleaning. The mosquito can find no hiding place as all the cans are hid. The flies (those remaining) are sad and admit to a day of doom, for their day is waneing and their sun will soon set, to rise no more. Civilization is hard upon their trail.
 Brinkley should be, it can be. it will be the cleanest town in the state.
 Let those who have not as yet fallen in line, do so, for clean ness is next to Goodness. Thanks to the city officials.
The Brinkley argus., 1916-05-12

We congratulate the city officials in securing Rev. w. T. Thurman as master of ceremonies in cleaning up the City Plaza. He has skilfully trimmed every tree, and the beauty of it all is, the work was done by his own little delicate hands.
 Rev. w. T. Thurman, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, leaves Monday for the General Assembly of the U. s. A. Pres byterian Church, to be held at Atlantic City. The delegates will leave St. Louis on a special train via Washington D. c. They will be received by President Wilson and special entertainment will be given. MT. Thurman will return the first of June. The ARGUS and his many friends wish for him a most excellent trip, and that he will secure plenty of theological artillery while gone, is our prayer. Don t forget your note book.
