ALLIES CONTINUE
To MAKE GAINS
FRENCH CAPTURE cEucY FOR
EST FROM THE GERMANS.
BRITISH WIN THREE TOWNS
Village Of Equancourt, Where Teu-
tons Were Expected To Make
Stand, Falls Into Hands of
English Troops.

i8rlS, M0feh ZS.-Ile village or
Coucy- Chateau was captured by
the French in an attack at night, the
war office announces. Further prog
ress was made in the lower section of
Coucy forest, all of the northern part
of which is now held by the French.
South of the Disc we continued to
make progress in the lower forest of
Coucy, all of the northern part Of
which we occupied the statement
says. 'The enemy was driven beyond
the Barisis-Servals line. South of the
forest our troops made brilliant night
attack and captured the village of
Coucy-le-Chateau, which was defended
theoretically by the Germans.
SIN the region north of scissors we
captured farm northwest of Mar
s.val and point of support held in
strength by the enemy.
"In the Argonne we made sue
cessful surprise attack In the sector of
Four de Paris, taking prisoners. In
Lorraine, enemy attacks on small
French posts in the region of Letri-
court were repulsed completely"
Close on st. Quentin.
Driving forward north and south of
st. Quentin, heart of the Hindenburg
line, the allies have cut two of the
four main railroads which feed the
city, while third is well within
reach Of the French guns. With La
Fere inundated by the retreating Ger
mans and two of its dominating forts
in the hands Of the French, the chief
interest in the tremendous battle which
has been raging for a week on an so
mile front shifts to historic st. Quen-
tin.
The Germans are making desperate
and bloody attempts TO wrest from
the French the Essigny-B enay plateau
from which General Nivelle's guns
command the southern approaches to
the city and render it's position, in
the opinion of military critics, one of
grave peril.
Farther to the south the French
have forged well to the west of St.
Quentin, hammering a great dent in
the German line between that town
and La Fere. The advance of this
salient three miles further would give
the French possession of the last d.
rect railroad line between the two
towns
British Take Three More Towns.
London, March 2S.-The British in

The Reuter- correspondent at the
British army headquarters in France
telegraphs:
"The taking of LagnicOurt straight
ems our line between Beaubetz and
CrOisilles, sector Of our advance
which the Germans continue to dis.
pute more vigorously than elsewhere"
Equancourt, now taken, he says,
was a point on which the enemy at
one time expected to make n stand

Our I1unorists.

All we can say is that we hope anS
given humorist of ours will live out
the greatest length Of days and not
stop joking before he dies. We need
every moment of his three score years
and ten to keep us sane and kind, and
we cannot be satisfied with stinted
measure of time for him. When he
begins unsurpassably to delight the
world, our national pride as well as
our human need is bound UP in his
continuance. Possibly we are going
from bad to worse as we have always
been, but we think we have been kept
from the worst by the hulnorist's smile,
not by the satirist's frOwn. Other
races, other lands abound in songs and
sermons, but we have sent our laugh
ter over the world to save it alive more
han anything else could.-W. u. How
ellis, in Halper's Magazine.
