and that is he and his legions of gray
coated soldiers are being given no rest.
Particularly is this true on the western
front. British forces under Gen. Haig
and the French under Nivelle are
smashing their way forward, and dur
ing the past seven days have gained so
much ground that what was intended to
be the famous won Hindenburg line
threatens to completely dissolve.
IT cannot be said whether the French
or the British have scored grea ter sue
cesses than the other. Nivelle has
been hammering to the south of st.
Quentin and Haig to the north, their
efforts being perfectly timed and
equally effective in so far as ground
gaining is concerned. The fall of st.
Quentin is imminent. 1t is reported
that the Germans already have fired
the town and withdrawn their main
forces. leaving behind sufficient num-
bar of men and guns to delay the
French and British for an indefinite
neriod, Apparently this will prove a
vain effort to forestal1 the French and
British for the former have pushed a

far as Moy to the south. and as a re-
suit of the British activities to the
north of St Quentin this town practi-

Turkey and Bulgaria have nothing to

this country. Consequently a possible
united stand of these countries against
German efforts to force them into war

of Stanley Ketchen in the 18th round
of their bout at Colma in 1909 was
the direct result of his ability to

Early in the 18th round Ketchell
caught Johnson on the point of the

vision of the heavyweight crown

Active participants in the sport
were augmented by large numbers of
spectators. The latter came and went
according to their inclination or

air, but the tobogganists kept warm
by their exertions incident to having
good time.
It was about 8 o'clock when the
marchers got away from the Mark

already at the scene, not caring to
make the tramp. Those who did
march were gaily garbed in outdoor
