Giant British Drive Begins
And Sweeps All Resistance

| The fighting on Vimy ridge was
carried out by the Canadians, who
had retained footing on the ridge
all winter, but always higher up
was the enemy On either side of
the Canadians were English and
Scottish battalions and in yesterdays
battle there was glory enough for.
ALL The irrepressible tanks" also
shared in the honors of the unsuc-
cessful assault.
One position captured northeast
of Arras was a sort of labyrinth
of trenches, enmeshed in multiple
bands of wire called the harp" be-
cause of its shape. Prisoners had
proclaimed this strong point prac-
tically unassailable, but sweeping
over it the British took within it
nearly thousand prisoners and
they captured also three German
battalion commanders, who compare
in rank with colonel in the British
army. The Canadians took two thou
sand prisoners,
II was said everywhere along the
attacking line that the Germans
appeared to have been taken by
surprise and only in a few instances
did they put up strong fight. One
reason for this was that they had
been fairly dazed by the British ar
tillery fire of the last ten days
From the high ground overlooking
Arras a panoramic view for many
miles of the British attack was pre-
scented. The concentration of guns
for this operation probably was the
greatest for a given amount of front
since the war began Almost count
less guns had taken part in the
lbombardment since the beginning
but it was not till Monday night that
many masked batteries joined in the
grim chorus.
/ Approaching the battlefield well
before dawn the reflection of the
gun flashes against the low hanging
clouds gave the inevitable impress
sion of continued play of sheet
lightning on the horizon. But when

seemed as If suddenly one stood on
the brink Of an overwhelming in

guns were playing on the ridges
looming up in the distance enveloped
in darkness, upon which lay the
German lines. There was as vet no
alarm. The Germans had become
accustomed to receiving daily "stra-

(From a staff Correspondent Of the
Associated Press.)
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
April 10.-The war on the
western front which has been moving
more rapidly in the last five weeks
broke into full swing yesterday.
Widening the attacks that they have
been directing against the retreating
Germans in the sector of the Somme,
the British struck still farther north
and In a series of assaults on a
broad front, with Arras more OF less
the pivotal point, they drove the
Germans from scores of important
positions, penetrating far into the
German lines and inflicted heavy
casualties.
The number OF prisoners taken in
the last l2 hours will exceed 5000.
The heaviest fighting developed
along a line few miles southeast
OF Arras in northerly direction
to the neighborhood of Lens, but
the actions extended far in the di-
rection Of ST Quentin. In the ter
ritory captured today was the IA
nous Vimy ridge, which had been
been fought over time and time
again, ever since the war was ten
months old. The French had fought
desperately and valiantly in an en-
deavor to wrest this vantage ground
from the Germans, the battles cost
ing both belllgerents untold cas-
ualties.
Back of the northern edge of Vimy
ridge lie the principal coal fields
of France, which still are in German
hands.

VALUE OF SILAGE FOR SHEEP
Reduces Cost Of Raising Animal and
Supplies SuccuIence, Palatability
and Variety.

The addition of silage to ratlons for
all classes of sheep reduces their cost
and supplies succulence, palatability
and variety. Likewise, rotten. moldy,
sour or frozen silage should not be
used. Pregnant ewes should receive
from three to four pounds per head
daily during the winter. This should
be supplemented with two or three
ounces per head daily of cottonseed
cake and some hay. After the lambs
are born silage increases the milk
flow of the ewes. In the fattenIng Of
lambs and yearlings for market the
cheapest gains have usually been
made when silage constituted a part

BOY SCOUTS ARE NOT oRoNEs

An organizer fer the boy scout
movement, addressing the Rotary club
OF Cincinnati, asked, "What per cent
OF men in an average city do you think
can be depended upon to perform live
aggressive, militant public service
something for the good of the com
munity?' The usual guess is about 2
per cent. The real figure, arrived at
carefully through long experience. Ia
one-tenth of 1 per cent. That means
that but one man out of every thou
sand In the average city is willing to
get out and do something for his com
munity In particular and humanity in
general. The other 800 sit back. 1t
Is to correct this percentage Of drones
in the human hive that the boy scout
movement Is now being energetically
pushed throughout the country. The
creed and the motto of the boy scout
is Service" He is dedicated by his
oath to the welfare of others. His
training is directly bent toward fitting
him for future constructive citizen
ship. There are now 270,OOO of these
bright-eyed little fellows In the United
States. They are to be the doors of
big things in after years and should
have constant and enthusiastic sup

Alfalfa hay Of a high quality, which

sows is very necessary to lower the

get a large amount of calcium which

we get a large amount of protein of
the right kind. She must not be ex-

At this time the marketing Of

HOGS UTILIZE WASTE GRAINS
Modern Farm Cafeteria" Gives Pig
Chance to Make Hog Of Himself

In these days when labor Is high
and also scarce on many farms, the
hog may afford "a way out" Hogs
utilize refuse and waste grains, dam
aged grains, and garbage; garnering
grain behind cattle or shattered grain
in harvest fields; and utilizing slaugh-
terhouse by-products and dairy by
products. They are also largely self
feeders. The modern farm Cafeteria
gives n pig n chance to make hog
of himself more quickly than he can
by the handled route, and it has the
added merit of being the cheapest
