TO FRONT, WOOD SAYS
inv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEAsEo wirxI

Boston, April 17.--Maior General
Wood, addressing the American Cot
ton Waste exchange here today, SAID
the United states would not fulfill its
duty in this war until it had sent
men to the front.
"If we are to be part of the war,
said General Wood, our men in our
uniform must be at the front. 1t IS
no childs play. We shall send living
men and bring them back dead--but
never until this is done shall we full
fill our duty.
you are now standing behind the
allied lines and behind such forces
as we have afloat. There is long
period of preparation ahead of us
and the first step is to back up the
plan for universal military service.
You cannot let somebody else do your
job and have a clear conscience"

Germans Say American Crop
Failure Makes Any EffeC-

possible Now.

Amsterdam, April II (9:l2 p. M
The Cologne Gazette. commenting
on President Wilson's message to the
American people, says:
'Shorn of its swollen phraseology
this appeal is nothing but a cry of
distress. President Wilson must ad-
NIT that the war against Germany
cannot be won if America is unable to
provide herself and her allies with
food. That, however, is impossible
as America is facing crop failure
which cannot be averted by President
wilson's little remedies"

The great offensive of the French
forces in the southern part of the bat
tie front in France goes on unabated,
gains, continuation of which would
menace the German front running
from Lens to Scissors.
The attack of the French was ire
sistible. despite snow and rain. South
of Moronvilliers first lire German po-
sitions over a front of nine and one
third miles were taken and to the
east and southeast strongly organ
iZed line of heights on a front of near
y eight miles was captured, The viii
lage of Auberive likewise fell into the
hands of the French as also did Il
powerfully fortified salient around the
village of about two miles in extent.
Conhter-Ettacks Fail.
German couHter-attacks at several
points failed. Near Mont Carnillet,
southwest of Moronvielliers, an espe-
cially violent one was broken up by
the French guns and on this sector
more than $500 Germans were made
DIISOilttS. NlhNuy DtNNttil A'OtsSO'''
and Rheims another counter-attack
was repulsed while still another off
fensive launched by the Germans near
Courcy north of Rheims, was put
down by the Russians guarding this
part of the line. Thirteen thousand
five hundred Germans have been
made prisoners in the two days fight
ing, according to Paris, 1900 having
been taken in Mondays attack be-
tween Rheims and scissors.
Berlin Says Efforts Fail.
The latest official communication
from Berlin says the French efforts
to break through the German lines on
the Aisne failed, and that there had
been no renewal of the attack. A
previous communication described the
battle as one Of the greatest in the
history of the war. II admitted that
under the terrific bombardment be-
tween the Disc and Conde -SurAisne,
the French shells "levelled the posi-
tions (German) and produced wide,
deep craters, rendering an obstinate
defense no longer possible" Besides
the French suffering sanguinary
losses, more than 2,100 prisoners
were taken by the Germans, the COM
munication said.
British Still Gaining.
West and northwest of Lens the
British still are pressing the Germans
hard. Further progress has been
made by the British near the Havrin-
court wood, midway between Arras
and St Quentin.
No important changes in positions
have taken place in any of the other
theaters, except in Mesopotamia,
where the British operating on the
right bank of the Tigris have reached
a point seventy-five miles northwest
of Bagdad and are keeping up their
advance against the Turks, who are
retiring without offering resistance,
The British are now within ten miles
of Samara, on the Bagdad-Samara
railway

Children Gave Chair
To L0ngfellOw

Longfellow's blacksmith was a
real blacksmith. His smithy was
under a spreading chestnut tree.
The shop had to be torn down be-
cause the city was growing The
chestnut tree had to be cut down
because they were going to make
the street wider Everyone was
sorry because Longfellow had writ
ten poem about the tree and men
and women remembered that they
played under this chestnut tree.
Someone planned to have all the
school children bring pennies and
have this chestnut tree made into
chair for Longfellow. The chair
is carved on the back with chest
nuts, chestnut ,burrs and chestnut
leaves. Around the seat is carved
these words:
And children coming home from
school.
