went at each others thrOats and
eyes.
Many Germans went to their
deaths from blows from rifle butts.
Lost i'm Dust Clouds.
At times the fighting was wholly
obscured by great clouds of dust,
the muddy battlefelds of 10 days
ago having entirely disappeared.
The dust raised by the barrage fire
resembled an approaching storm.
Shrapnel bullets were pelting the
dry earth like so many leaden drops
Of rain and great mountains of dust
seemed to spring from the earth
everywhere.
The attack began with the COM
ing Of dawn. It extended in an
easterly direction from Vimy ridge
at its northern hinge and ran
southwark to the Scarpe. Progress
was made everywhere and the So
called Oppy-Mericourt line, which
protects the Drocourt switch to the
Hindenburg line was pierced again.
Canadians i'm Brilliant Work.
The Canadians, who had been
more or less resting since they
swept the Germans off both slopes
of Vimy ridge on Easter Monday
made a brilliant assault against Ar
ieux- n-Cohelle and captured that
village and held it against all coun-
ter attacks The British also
crossed the German lines just west
of Oppy and there has been fierce
fighting about that village all day.
Southeast of Oppy is a gradually
rising knoll known as Greenland
hill. which looks down into the
Scarpe valley The British swept
ontc this hill today, and, although
il was bitterly contested, they were
late today securing their newly won
positions The chemical works on
the. Arras-D ouai railway just north
of the village of RoueX, which was
another hot spot in the fighting,
changed hands several times. Up
to few days ago the chemical
works stood up prominently in the
landscape. with a great chimney ris-
ing more than a 100 feet. Today il
is only mass of ruins, the Chin
ney having crashed under the
weight of the heavy Smelling.
500 Prisoners Taken.
When the correspondent left the
fighting lines about 500 prisoners
had been sent 70 the rear with pos
sibly more to come The fighting
however. was not of nature which
would result in a great haul of pris-
Oners. Almost everywhere it was a
fight to the death.
The German chagrin over the loss
Of Monchy lie Preux seems to grow
rather than abate. as the British
! retain possession Of il and consider
able territory beyond it. Late last
night they launched two violent and
heavy attacks against the British
position east of the town. Two new
German divisions just brought into
the line and said 10 be composed

were flung into this fighting They
were literally cut 10 bits and failed
to gain even an outpost. The fight
ing was in close order at times and
the British rife fire had much to do
with the final rout Of the Germans.
Gavrelle also was violently cOun-
ter attacked today during a British
assault 70 the north Of that village.
One can easily lose track Of the
number of these attacks against
| Gavrelle in the last few days. but
the German effort this morning
must have been the 14th or 18th.
At no time during the Somme bat
tie were such efforts made to re-

MANY HIGH SCHOOL BUILDINGS

On Thursday, February %, new
high school building was dedicated at
Watertown. The building cost over
100000 with equipment. State Super
intendent G. P. Cary was the speaker
at the dedication exercises.
The new Lake Mills high school
building was dedicated Saturday,
March 3. This building has been in
uSe'a few weeks. It's cost was between
forty-five and fifty thousand dollars.
Within a small radius in the south
western part OF the state large num-
Der OF high school buildings have been
erected recently or proposed for early
erection. The Waterloo high school
building was dedicated a few weeks
ago. Waukesha has arranged for a

to build a new high school. The new
building a. Sank City is almost COM

FIND HUMAN REMAINS:
BURIED MANY YEARS
(CaSSYille RecOrd.l

A human skeleton was found on
Grant river near Burton last Friday
by several parties who were clean
ing up the brush along the bottoms.
They evidently had been buried there
for many years as the bones were
pretty we'll decayed The supposition
is that they were the remains of some
unfortunate who as likely drowned
many years ago, at any rate none Of
the residents there were able to re-
call any disappearance which might
possibly lead to the identity of the re-
mains.
The ice went out of the river last
Thursday. While it was unusually
thick there was nothing spectacular
about its breaking up as was antici-
pated. A huge cake floated down on
Friday and stuck its nose out of the
water far enough to catch the ferry
wboat BETSY Ross" turning it over on
its side but doing no further damage.
The cake, which reached half way
across the river, was fully two feet
thick No attempt will be made TO
launch the ferry boat and other craft
for two weeks or more as the floating
cakes render navigation extremely
hazardous.
Ed Richardson, residing near Nc
Cartney, cut severe cash in his foot
while splitting wood last Friday.
Fred Bartels brought him to town
so that he could have his injury
dressed and attended to.
Abe Daley departed Tuesday for
Winnifred, Mont, where he is home
stealing a claim. He spent the Win
ter here. His claim joins that of his
brother-in-law John Bausch, a for
mer we'll known resident of Glass;
Vile.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bennett returned
Tuesday evening from Rochester,
Mimi, where the former went to con-
suit the Mayo brothers. An operation
was not necessary as at first reported

CUT FROM GLASS;
OPERATION NECESSARY.

Bart Murphy, of Woodman, who re
ceived a cut on his knee from a piece
of glass last fall, went to La Crosse
Monday to have an operation per-
formed. The main ligament of his
knee was severed and he has not been
able to work much since.
Merchant NJ Kelley, of Woodman,
has surely created quite a market for
ties there. This winter, due to the
heavy SHOWS and cold weather, all
parties having them took advantage Of
the fine sleighing and disposed Of
them. Before the thaw started over
10000 had been purchased by him,
meaning an outlay of something over
$4,000, the best ones selling for
more than fifty cents.-Boscobel Dial

competent to fill any and all require
ments in his line of work in the print

perhaps, but we just had to stick in a

Now that the fuss is over and other
things take up our minds it might be
said that the actions Of Senators La
Toilette, Curmins, ct al, was not, as
harshly said, traitorous to their
country. Let us concede them this
much but let us not concede that the
majority can be so wrong that it is
necessary for a minority to throw
stumbling blocks in the path of legis-
lation. If we assume that the major
ity is wrong and that it is necessary
TO have means by which a minority
can exercise its will, then we admit
that the very rock our government is
bullded upon is naught but Shifting
sand. Rule of the minority is the
cause of Europes ills and right or
wrong, we must, to avoid their dif-
fcu1ties, abide by the majority's will.
Therein lies Senator's indiscretion.
