Germans Deny Line Broken.

Berlin, April l8.-(Via London.) -
The number of prisoners taken by the
Germans on the French battle front
yesterday, according to the official
Statement issued by the German army
headquarters staff, was increased to
more than 5000 officers and men.
French attacks in the Champagne
yesterday over a twelve-mile front,
the German statement adds, were pre-
vented from piercing the Teuton lines
by the German barring positions. Part
OF the wood between Moronviliers and
Auberive was wrested from French
colored divisions which had reached
there. During the fighting on April

Real Estate Board Has
Discussion on Ethics

"Ethics" was the. subject OF the dis
cussion by the Omaha Real Estate
board at noon. The board hopes to
work out system Of ethics for itself
in the profession or trade in Omaha.
OF course the national association has
a code Of ethics, and the local board
has copies of the pamphlets, but there
are little local problems which are
not touched upon in the larger ma
tional code. This first discussion was
preliminary, and if the board finally
decides upon a set Of rules OF the
trade, they will probably be printed
in pamphlet form.

INFLATED and the general situation
was favorable.
The general who commands the
armies OF the right center had been
planning the attack for ssveral weeks
and had left nothing to chance.
Everything was provided for and the
chiefs under him had nothing to DO
but follow instructions to the letter.
As soon as the result Of the battle
between Scissors and Rheims was
known the order was given to at
tack. Punctually at 4:45 the French
infantry went over" well supported
by a powerful mass OF artillery. lhey
swept forward in magnificent style
and in two hours the first line system
had been captured. Later news came
that French soldiers were carrying all
before them and taking prisoners by
the score. They seized Mont Carnil-
let, Mont Haul and all the crests
commanding that region.
"Impregnable" Line Taken.
From their new positions the
French now look down upon Moron
yilliers and Nauroy. This Moron
yilliers chain Of hills was regarded by
all French soldiers who had ever been
in the section as virtually impregna-
bic, and its capture caused the liyeli-
est satisfaction to everybody. Inc
75s followed up the infantry rapidly
and were soon in action. They
| caught large bodies Of the enemy
massing with the object OF making 4
diversion and decimated them. Ac-
cording to onlookers such carnage
had not been seen since the action OF
Charme Gap at the, beginning OF the
war.
French Win on Right.
On the right wing the struggle was
equally to the advantage OF tht
French. Auberive, on which the lef'
wing OF the Champagne offensive o
| 1915 broke, fell speedily, as well a.
ali the surrounding works. Thu
1 French made especially good prog

east OF Vaudesincourt, Hill liz wal

German food experts have come to
the conclusion that a dead pig is bet
ter than live one, at least in war
times. Intimate and exhaustive
studies of the porcine appetite have
disclosed that the pig is mans chief
competitor in consuming valuable
foodstulfs. Consequently about half
the pigs in Germany have been
killed.
The war food bureau at Berlin
says that while the number Of swine
within the empire was diminishing,
census figures of the last quarter
showed that the nation was richer by
100000 head oflcattle than it was on
March 1. On June 1 it was said there
was within Germany a total of 81
100000 head of cattle, while on De-
cember 1, 1912, there was 21,10O,-
600.

School Entertainment

The parents of the school
youngsters enjoyed real treat
last Thursday evening when the
Fairys' Revel was presented by
the music department of the
schools. The Stage setting was
a work of art and created fine
atmosphere for the production.
The youngsters entered into the
spirit of Fairyland in a very ef
fectlve manner. The affair was
a success, and like all SUCCESSES
was due to hard work. Miss
Rogers and the grade teachers
should feel fully repaid for their
many efforts in training the
youngsters, making costumes,
and arranging the stage. This
work is worth while.

BRITISH WOMEN GET PRAISE
Authorities Admit That Without Their
Aid Victory in Present War Would
Be Impossible.

A London cablegram gives the fol-
lowing interesting information con-
cerning the oath of allegiance and
work of England's woman recruits.
Il, -, hereby swear by Al,
mighty God that | will be faithful
and bear true allegiance to his males
ty, King George V, his heirs and
successors, and that ! will honestly
and faithfully serve his majesty, his
heirs and successors" i"
For the first time in history the
words of the oath Of allegiance have
been sworn by woman recruits; the
elimination of the work Of British
women for their country in the war
has been the formation Of the WOm-
ems Auxiliary Army Corps, whereby
women are admitted into the British
army.
Week by week, since August, 1914,
as the insistcnt call for munitions
came from the army in France,
women poured into the industrial
centers, flooded the improvised fac
tories, steadily filled up the ranks of
the army at home as the men joined
the army of fighters abroad. Now
the highest ministers of the crown
acknowledge that without women
victory would be impossible, labor,
munitions, railways and food pro-
duction would crash to utter failure.
1t has all been done in the British
way, with the maximum of reliance
on private enterprise, and the mini
mum bureaucratic control; and in
the British way it has fallen to pri-
vate association to watch that the
burden laid on the women was not
more than human strength could
bear.
