FRENCH GAINS ON
THE AISNE FRONT
English Airmen Wage and
Win Spectacular Air
Battle in Flanders.

General Petain has resumed his
dcshing operation on the Aisne front
and today reports a brilliant success
for his troops in surprise attack
northwest of Hurtebisa.
The entire first line of the strong
German positions there was carried
and held against counter attacks. The
Germans were badly cut up beside los
ing more than 800 men in prisoners.
1t is in this sector that the most
feasible route lies to the Germans
fortress Of Laon, the vital support OF
the whole German line on the French
front. Last nights Efforts by the
French seems to indicate that their
chief command has no idea Of letting
control OF the situation here slip from
its grip under the nagging tactics re-
Gently adopted by von Hindenburg
who has been trying his best by thrusts
here and there to wrest control Of dom,
mating points from Petain's forces.
British aid craft waged a brilliant
fight over Flanders on Monday, three
naval machines engagirt; ten German
aeroplanes. In a sixteen minute battle
the Germans were worsted, one ma
chine having down in flames while
two others were believed to have been
driven down out of control. The Brit
ish came through unscratched.

Mrs. Frank Mardelle
Goes Insane in Jail

Mrs. Frank Mardelle, an Italian wo-
man from Worthington, who is being
held in the county jail here pending a
hearing on a whiskey selling charge,
became i'll some few days ago and Is
now temporarily insane, having passed
rapidly from state of mild hysteria to
positive insanity.
Mrs. Mardelle is the mother of six
children, ranging in age from five
months to ten years, and her present
condition is due to worry over her
children who are left without protec.
ton or care,
Frank Mardelle owns a store in
Worthington and it is alleged that he
has been persistently selling booze. He
has been arrested a number of times
but the selling has continued, he main
tanning that his wife did the actual
selling. Some time ago both Frank
and his wife were arrested and lodged
in the jail, which left the helpless chill
dren to care for themselves and they
are said to be suffering from lack Of
proper care and attention.
Yesterday Mrs. Mardelle became so
violent that three men were required
to prevent her injuring herself and a
retaining jacket was procured from a
local hospital and placed upon her,
Physicians who were in attendance
upon her yesterday gave her three
hypodermics within short time but
with absolutely no apparent effect.
judge Raymond summoned the ply.
sicians who were in attendance upon
Mrs. Mardelle and Prosecuting Attor-
ney Haggerty to a meeting at $3.50 this
afternoon to decide what disposition
should be made of the woman and it IS
probable that she will either be re.
leased or be permitted to have her
children with her in the jail.

HITS.
Sixteen cities each Of 10000 popula
ton, are to be constructed in 81 days.
This is some job. Each city must have
its wooden houses, its streets, sewers,
water systems, electric lights, railroad
yards, water mains, garbage incinera-
tors, amusement halls, storage struc-
lures and scores of other incidentals
to the life of military city.
AS much money will be spent in 80
days as the government spent on the
Panama canal in year
The sites have been selected and
most of them surveyed and laid off
into their future streets, drill grounds,
ball fields, freight yards and residence
sections. In some instances the lum-
Der and other materials are on the
way.
Each cantonment will require about
1000 carloads Of material, and it is
estimated 10000 cars will be divert
ed from their usual business to take
care of the cantonment work.
Each of these wooden cities will re.
quire 26,OO0,0O0 feet Of lumber or 1925
carloads, one carload of roofing nails,
S12 carloads of crushed stone for the
roads, $4,000 squares of roofing, 20
carloads of miscellaneous hardware, 20
carloads of plumbing material, 1872 car
loads of tanks, heaters, stoves, ranges,
pipes. electrical materials, refrigera-
tors and the like; 80 carloads of ties
and other timber; 20 carloads Of rail
road spikes, rails, fish plates; ia car.
loads of ballast; 10 carloads Of cleo.
trio light poles, wires, insulators; 12,-
900 cubic yards of concrete and IT'S
carloads Of sand.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
Copyright by International News Service

"Oh, is 1t as late as that?" said
Louise. Il declare it is. 1 must
bundle up my work and fly home to
my husband. Here's Warren now,
Helen," as the familiar key was
heard in the lock. A moment later
Warren walked into the room.
Where are you going, Louise"
he said dropping a light kiss on
while"
II can't Warren" Louise returned
brightly. II really ought to be on
my way. Well see you Friday at
the Stevens. Goodbye, folks, no,
Helen. don't bother, L can get out.
Good-by."
Helen returned to the living room,
thoughtful look on her face. She
was wondering how best to broach
the subject when Warren helped
her out by saying.
"Why the long face, has anything
happened?"
Louise said she saw you out in
the car last night, Warren. I didn't
know you were using it."
Warren threw her look. "And
1 suppose you've been imagining all
kinds of things ever since. haven't
you," he said finally. Women do
certainly beat the cards. Well, it
just happens that 1 sold the car,
and I was out last night with the
man who bought it."
