 "Compared to patriot for profit, the leaders of the Oklahoma draft riots are saintly enough to sit in the amen corner, and hanging is too good for them at that They, at least, did not expect to make any money out of their reasonable acts, while the patriot for profit feathers his own nest by proving on the lofty sentiments of all good citizens and then places himself upon his own little pedestal as a high priest of patriotism.

tainable in the thick of the engage ments, says correspondence of The As sociated Press.
 Hurtebise farm, now as in 1914 when Butcher was turned out of it by Marshals Ney and Drouot under the eyes of Napoleon, is in reality the key of the position, since those who pos sess it are in command of all the ob- servation points dominating the val leyts
 The Germans had decided to hold it at any cost, and they had constructed most skilfui system of defensive barbed wire entanglements, trenches and shelters, in which were disposed dozens of machine guns. Notwith- standing all the diff1culties of the task the colonial infantry, which for merly was the French Marine Infan- try Corps, stormed the position and took it on the morning of April 16.
 It was foreseen that the Germans would make an attempt to regain the position, so valuable to them. and during the night of April 17. a regi- ment of ZouaVes was sent up to re- lieve the co1onials. who were exhaust ed and had suffered much from eN- posture, after the fight, to cold winds and heavy snow and rain
 Two battalions of the ZouaVes were dep.oyed to the right and left of where the farm had once stood and on each side of the ruins of the monument
  tie. They lay in the demolished Ger man trenches and in shell holes with bodies of dead soldiers all about them, and as they lay they scraped up the earth with their entrenching impIe- ments so as to form some sort of de- fence. A third battalion was held in reserve.
 In front of the Zouaves was a stretch of ground interspersed with deep caVerns and wooded ravInes. urh desrandad down O f1a valley of Nauclerc and the banks of the river Ailette.
 Here for seven days the Zouavea fought their way inch by inch with hand grenades under a constant bar rage fire from the German big guns and al the time exposed to the sweep ing showers of machine gun bullets The Germans fought with determined vigor, sticking to every point until actually forced out
 The line was very uneven. some Of the sections of Zouaves having ad- vanced further than their comrades, and pestered the French troops from the Hanks. Progress had to be made from shell-hole to shell-hole until. eventually, the Zouayes. by capturing the German Dusseldorf trench, were al, 6 to command an advantageous po- sition and straighten and solidify their line
 Even then the Germans did not give up hope and on April 25 opened a strong counter attack, for which the First Regiment of the Prussian Guard was brought specially into line. The left of the French line held firm. but the right gave way slightly. and q French counter-attack had later to be carried out to regain the ground lost.
 Some of the men of an Algerian tir- ailleour battalion had been almost cut off, but they were relieved by the Zou . ayes and other battalions and some of the Prussian guard were taken pris- oners.
