who only yesterday were boasting
that the intensity of their reply to
the British bombardment had caus-
ed the British gunners to lessen the
violence of their fire.
1t comes, however, after the fall
ure of the tremendous efforts the
German Crown Prince has been put
ting forth to break the French front
in the Aisne region. The French re-
serve force evidently is great enough
not only to withstand such powerful
hammering SUCCESSFULLY, but to allow
of cooperation with the British with
a stroke at another portion OF the
line.
Petain's Attack.
In addition General Petain last
night made a successful attack on his
own account on the Aisne front, car
rying Germans positions 1,5OO yards
wide on the Chemin-des-Da at La
Royere and west of Epine de Chew
regny, breaking a German counter
attack and capturing more than 100
prisoners, according to the official
Paris War Office.
French Statement.
The French statement reads:
IAN attack delivered by us at 8
o'clock last night on front of 1900
yards south of La Royere and west
of Epine de Chevregny resulted in
complete success. We reached all our
detectives and we broke a German
counter attack in the course of which
we took 1877 prisoners, including two
officers and about fifteen non-com-
missioned officers belonging to three
regiments of infantry.
Artillery fighting followed by in
fantry engagements are being main
tanned with much spirit in the Cerny-
Hurtebise sector.
"In Champagne northwest Of Pros
mes, the enemy after a violent bonn
bardment attempted surprise at
tack which was turned to failure by
the vigorous reply of our artillery
and infantry fire.
There have been active artillery
exchanges on both banks of the
Meuse."

GOLDEN WEDDING
Children and Grandchildren of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. Eek Celebrate The
Fiftieth Anniversary of Their Mar
riage-A Real Family Gathering
and A Purse of Gold.

Last week seems to have been
special Golden Wedding week in Wau-
seon and vicinity; two of these ami
versaries the Tribune chronicled in
last weeks issue but one that was not
published was that of Mr.. and Mrs
George Eek which occurred last Fri
day evening. Mr.. and Mrs. Eek were
not contemplating any special celebra-
ton of their iftieth anniversary of
their wedding day, but there were
others who were aware of the fact
that they had been married fifty years
and also that it was the sixty-ninth
anniversary of Mrs. Ecks birthday, so
it transpired that this worthy couple
were surprised on the evening men
toned by having their home at 1872
Brunell street entered by their chill
dren and grandchildren who came to
congratulate them and to help them
to celebrate the event.
! Mr.. and Mrs. Eek were married in
Reading, Pennsylvania in 1867 and
four years later they moved to Wau-
seon; this city has been their home
since that time. Both rM. and Mrs
Eek are well known and well liked in
Wauseon and vicinity, Mr.. Eek having
followed his trade as stone and brick
mason through all the years of their
residence here and erecting many
buildings in and about this town.
Nine children were born to them
six of whom are still living and with
their families were all present at the
home on Friday evening.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs
Sol Barnhart of Delta, Erve Eek and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. Will Eek, E. E
First and family and Miss May Eel
all of Wauseon; Mr.. and Mrs. J. C

Monday night and a -four course din
ner at the Hotel Crisman. The pur-
pose of the boys was to surprise

Mr.. Bruning was down with tonsilitis,

COUNCIL MEETING
City Fathers Meet and Discuss Prob
lens Of The TOwn-Night Watch
man Provided For Side Walk
Committee Assigned to Service on
Cherry Street.

Arecord meeting so far as length of
time consumed in doing the business
was concerned, was that of the coun-
Gil last Monday night. This was true
because of the fact that there were no
matters requiring lengthy debate be-
fore the body.
The reading of minutes of the pre-
ceding meetings regular and special
consumed the greater part of the
time Of the meeting and revealed that
the council have acted promptly in
taking all legal steps necessary to the
pushing of the work of developing the
water supply for the village. Requests
from residents of Cherry street for
the establishment of grade lines for
sidewalks on that street that are sub
merged during the wet seasons, were
referred to the sidewalk committee.
Other citizens were present, but as
one OF those present remarked, there
was nothing presented to the council
that required any expression from
those that were present; so nothing
was officially presented by them. I'm
official remarks made later indicated
that a petition will be presented to
the council at a later date asking them
to order the improvement of East
Chestnut street by paving.
The matter Of night watchman for
the village was taken under consider
alton; the present arrangement
whereby the council and the business
people of the town cooperate to main
tain two watchmen will terminate on
April first. 1t was the consensus of
opinion in the council that the village
could hardly afford to be without po-
lice protection at night and resolu-
tion was offered and passed appro-
priating the sum Of $500 per month
for this purpose.
The claim ordinance was passed
and council adjourned.

LECTURE COURSE

LECl OfLG OOOROE
The last number on the course will
be an entertainment given by Gay
Zenola MacLaren on Monday, March
26th. Reserved seats will be on sale
at Fink & Haumesser's Friday March
%, 1917.
Gay Zenola MacLaren, the reader
who comes to Wauseon, March 26th,
could appear in the same city twenty
nights in Succession, without repeat
ing single play and without re-
hearsing single play and without
rehearsing before she gave any one
of the twenty. What is still more re-
markable is the fact that in these
twenty plays no two of the more than
200 characters are alike. The voice
and mannerisms are absolutely dis
tinct
None of the 20 plays is a favorite
with Miss MacLaren. They are heart
gripping, every one of them, and she
likes them all. She states that some
weeks she is requested to give the
same play in every town, while at
other times six different plays have
been requested during a weeks en-
gagement Each OF the plays runs
about an hour and forty-five minutes.
While, generally speaking, it is
true that Miss MasLaren sees play
five times and then gives it on the
platform, there are certain deviations
from this program. Usually she is
able to attain <he voice and manner
isms Of players by the close of the
fifth performance, but in certain cases
such as David Warfeld, it was neces-
sary for her to attend the play ten
times before she could give a repro
duction that satisfied her own ideas.
She states that Rose Stahl, Eddie Foy
and David Warfeld are the three
characters whom it has been hardest
for her to impersonate successfully.

A Song of the Field.

The wind is hushed-but the guns are
singing
over the top! On down the field.
On with the flags--where life is bring
ing
The thrill that comes from the
sword and shield.
Over the top! And on to the charge
On and on through the red barrag e !!
We've cleared the road, that is red
and wet
We've opened the way for the bay
Onet!
We've sowed to the wind-now reap
the CROP
Over the top, now! Over the top,"
The guns are hushed--but the winds
afe singing
Sleep fOrever-on down the field;
On with your dreams, where death is
bringing
The peace that follows the sword
and shield:
Under the top of the crust that knew
The thud of your feet when the
guns got through;
The charge is over--the fight is done
Where silence sits on the smoking
gun;
Where silence sits--and the shadows
creep
And the song of the guns can't end
your Sleep"

The National league has had four

They were Wagner, Daubert, Magee

to be a 800 entry for the waning sea-

below 300, the times appear to be
