SEVEN YEARS. WAR
SOLDIER PREDICTS
William Lynch, Home Prom Canadian
Army on Furloug11, Tells of
Life in Trenches.

Relating some of his own expert
ences abroad while fighting with the
Canadian Overseas Battalions, WILL
liam Lynch of Clark street, home on
a short furlough, declares that the
Germans are great fighters and also
that the published stories Of their
atrocities are not In the least exag-
gerated.
Young Lynch had, for several years
before the war broke out, been a
globe trotter, had travelled fall over
the United States and also to Alaska
and the Hawaiian Islands, He was in
France when the war started and en-
listed with the Canadian forces. He
has had actual experience under fire
and states that at one time he was
in the front line renches which were
only about 36 yards away from the
German front line trenches. He
said that wounded Germans have been
known suddenly to draw their guns
and kill the men and women nurses
who come onto the battle field to sue
cor them, There is nothing too
brutal or fiendish for the Hun SOL
der to do, he states. Lynch was
wounded several times and was also
caught in a German gas attack and at
present his eyes and stomach are in
bad condition as a result. Speaking
of the fighting ability Of the Germans.
Lynch asserts, that they. can fight like
fiends and although some Of their
soldiers are only boys, nevertheless
they are big, strong fellows and know
how to take care of themselves. That
the war may last seven years was an
opinion expressed by the local soldier.
Lynch expects to remain in the
States for about a month, when he
will return to Canada and if accepted
as physically fit will return to the
firing line with his comrades.

CHAPTER In HIGH FINANCE

Farmer Alleged to Have Been Swim.
died Out of Potatoes Delivered to
Local Hotel.
A well known local hotel pronrie+or
and theater owner recentlv f1qnred IN
potato deal. About a week ago he
oruered 100 bushels Of choice spuds
from q New Britain farmer at $3.50 a,
oushel The farmer was bringing
MIN the potatoes when he was stopped
oy restaurant keeper who asked him
Tor 5o bushels at $1.75. The farmer
told him that he had the hundred al
ready sold, but gave him the potatoes
and took the remaining so bushels to
the hotel where he put them in the
cellar
he then went upstairs to the man.
aeer and told him he would bring the
rest of the spuds in the morning. IT
don't want the potatoes and if Won
don't get them out Of mysplace within
an hour will charge you $25 an hour
for storage" the hotel man is allefed
to have replied.
So surprised was the farmer that he
lost his breath for a minute. He went
down into the cellar accompanied by
the motel owner who told him that
he had placed his SO bushels of poL
tatoes on top OF 80 that he, the no.
tel man, already had in the place.
The time was flying fast but not as
fast as the poor farmers heart who
but few minutes before was con-
graduating himself on the other sale
on which he went 15c better. The ho-
tel owner lost no time but had one of
his assistants count out what was
supposed to be 80 bushels but they
were not weighed.
Tearfully the farmer watched the
spuds evaporate as 1t were, until there
were about 25 bushels left. AS the
time drew near the farmer asked for
81 bushel and a little bit later for
90c bushel but the hotel owner
couldn't see it,
At last heartbroken, the farmer
asked for his check. To his great sur
prise the manager asked him how
many bushels he had left there and
he said fifty. Taking the 80 off which
the manager claimed as his own there
was about rs bushels left.
After much talking and pleading on
the part Of the farmer, he received
the sum of 75c a bushel for 40 bush
oils.

BRITISH OPEN
NEW OFFENSIVE
ON WIDE FRONT
Big Guns Brought Up to
Rake German Defensive
Lines
PUSH STEADILY AHEAD
General Haig Forces Gaps on
Both Sides of River
Scarpe
By Associated Press

London, April 23.-After a weeks S
interlude, during which they had
been busy consolidating the gains of
the first weeks offensive and bring
ing up their guns, the British at
dawn this morning began another
phase of the operations against the
formidable German defenses on the
front in Northern France. General
Sir Douglas Haig reports that the
forces under his command attacked
on wide front on both sides of the
river Scarpe where a portion of the
Hindenburg line forms a barrier de-
Tending Cambrai and that they are
making satisfactory progress.
Further South British troops have
captured the remainder of the village
of Trescault and occupied the greater
part of HaVrincourt wood which
formed a two-mile bulge in their
line. From this point to st. Quentin
the line approaches closely the
Cambrai-St. Quentin road and canal.
The correspondents at the front had
prepared the public for the renewal
of the more active operations which
have entered a new phase with each
succeeding Monday. The British be-
gan their great offensive on Monday
fortnight ago and the French fol-
lowed this with their stroke along
the Aisne a week ago. The third
Monday finds the British again on
the move.
A success along the Scarpe not
only would threaten the new Ger
man line but would further outfiank
Lens on the south.

committed suicide, the police say,
this morning in his room at Is North
Fifth street. He had tied two towels
together and then tied the one end
around the top of a closet door after
it had been firmly knotted about his
neck. He evidently jumped from a
chair. and then held his feet from
the floor until death came by
strangulation.
Taylor came TO the boarding touse

ago. Since that time he has been
soliciting for the Curtis Publishing
Company. For several days he has
been acting despondent and was last

situation:
The United States is facing an
enormous increased demand for

every possible way by selling their
paper at not less than cents a
copy, by cutting out returns, using
economical sizes of makeup, and
in every way attempt 20 give q SER

think they can continue selling their
