BIG BATTLE
IMPENDING
French and German Gunners
Are Pounding Each Other
in Vauclero Region.
RHEIMS A TARGET AGAIN
British Successfully Raid the
Trenches Near Vermelles
and Pot an Airplane.

On both the British and French
fronts the period OF virtual inaction
continues, except for minor trench
raid operations by the British. 1t is
not expected that these conditions will
long prevail.
The offensive of the British and
French front cannot be deemed to
have ended until Field Marshal Haig's
forces once more have thrown their
strength against the 1000 yards Of the
Hindenburg line still held by the Ger
mans west of Bullecourt, and have
Strengthened out their line for the
heavy blows that are to come against
the Drocourt- Queant switchline on
which the Germans are placing de-
pendence to ward off an advance by
their enemies eastward. Last reports
had the British busily engaged in
concentrating the gains they had made
along the Hindenburg line and with
these complete the expectation is that
another of the great battles which
have marked the progress eastward
of the British soon will be in full
sway.
Probably finding their counter-at-
lacks against the French in the region
around Moronvilliers, in which they
were repulsed Monday night with
heavy casualties, too costly, the Ger
mans on Tuesday did not renew their
efforts to regain lost ground. In
stead they engaged with the French
in violent artillery duels in the regions
of Vauclero. the California plateau
east of Chevreux, which lie between
scissors and Rheims, not forgetting
again to throw numerous shells into
the already devastated town of Rheims.
A noticeable dimunition in the III
tensity of the fighting along the Isonso
front of the Austro-Italian theater has
set in. Only one attack by the Italians
is reported. Here, according to Wen
ma, the Italians attempted to advance,
but were stopped by the Austrians.
In none of the other theaters has
any engagement Of special importance
taken place.

SCIENTIFIC
FEEDING
How a Food Expert Feeds
His Own Children.

Washington, May 23.-Harvey w.
Wiley and John Preston Wiley, sons
of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, former
food expert of the United States Gov
eminent and author of many volumes
of scientific works relating to foods,
are practical examples of their fathers
teachings.
"These boys since their births have
had nothing but proper foods" said
DR.. Wiley when asked TO share his
recipe with others. First, their
mothers milk until weaving time;
then, modified, pure, fresh, clean
cows milk from tuberculin tested
animals until they were large enough
to begin to chew. They have been
given only foods containing materials
to secure growth and not make fat.
They eat brown bread, pure milk,
good fruits, succulent vegetables, and
after three years OF age they had a
little meat, but not very much. Their
teeth are especially well nourished,
regular, being hard, white and flinty.
They have not had any candy, very
little sugar or sweets of any kind, ex-
cept the sugar natural to their food.
Their typical meal at night time is
whole wheat bread with a little pure
butter, and pint each of pure, fresh
milk"

BIG STRAW
BERRY SEASON
First Shipment Of 2 Cars from
Warren County Saturday
Opened Season.

Bowling Green, KY, May 21.-The
strawberry season opened here Sat
urday night when two cars were sent
north, one to Chicago and the other
to Pittsburg, Pa. The berries brought
50 per crate f. o. b. Bowling Green.
This was one Of the highest opening
prices since the organization of the
association.
A large number Of buyer are al
ready here, and by the middle Of the
week many more will be here to re-
main until the close Of the season.
The pickers are also beginning to ar
rive in vast numbers and are being
sent to the various patches on arrival,
where they are booked and quartered
in the dormitories.
The season has opened under most
favorable conditions. The maturing
berries have had just a sufficiency of
rain to bring on large fruit of an un-
usual sweetness that has made War
ren's berries so popular in the North
ern markets.
For the next three weeks Bowling
Green will be beehive of industry.
The weather is just right for quick
ripening and the fruit is now coloring
rapidly. By the middle of the week
big shipments will be made.
Louisville received the first berries
brought in here, which went forward
by express. The express shipments
have now ceased and from now on
only car shipments will be made.

Funds From Mr.. Wilgus' Be-
quest Now Available for
Play Grounds.
COMMITTEE NOT NAMED
There May be One or Several
Play Grounds for Chill
dren Provided.

The final settlement of the w. A.
Wilgus estate has been made and Mr..
George c. Long announces that about
$50, 600 is coming to the city to pur-
chase and equip play grounds for the
children.
According to the will of Mr.. Will
gus, this money is in the hand of a
committee appointed from the school
board. Two vacancies now exist in
this committee. These will be filled at
the next meeting of the board and
the new members, together with Mr..
T. w. Morris, who is the other COM
mitteeman, will proceed to make
plans for the play grounds.
No definite plans have been vet
made. The students of the different
schools favor the plan of separate
grounds for each school. The high
school boys are enthusiastic over an
athletic field as their share of the
play ground. With the money avail
able, Hopkinsville could have the
best athletic field in Kentucky. The
tract of land east of the high school
would be an ideal place for such a
field. Besides an athletic field there
would be room enough to have ten
mis- courts and other things which
would make glad the hearts of the
smaller children on Campbell and
Walnut streets.
The same thing could be done on
West Side, at Belmont and Virginia
streets, and Hopkinsville would be a
model for other cities in Kentucky as
far as taking care of the child life of
the city is concerned.
No more popular move could be
made than to have one of the play
grounds located on the river bank,
where the river itself could be used
for boating and bathing, by closing
the flood gate in the dam at Second
street.

Mystery in Accident During
Workmanship Practice on
American Ship.
|, WOUNDED, RECOVERING
Shell Not Defective, 1t Is Said
---Gun Not Damaged
Hit the Target.

New York, May 24.-Victims of an
explosion during the practice firing
of a gun on an American armed mer-
chairman at sea Sunday afternoon,
Mrs. Edith Ayers and Miss Helen
Burnett Wood, Of Chicago, American
Red Cross nurses, bound for war
duty in France, were killed, and Miss
Emma Matzen, another nurse, of
Columbus, Neb., was injured although
not dangerously. The steamship,
only one day out from New York, re-
turned here Monday and a naval
investigation is under way to deter
mine the cause of the accident.
Unofficial reports were that de-
fective shell was responsible. One
account had it that the shell exploded
prematurely after leaving the gun,
another that breach explosion &C.
Cured.
1t was learned, however, that the
opinion of those aboard the ship best
competent to Judge was that the shell
was not defective, but that in some
unexplainable manner, a portion of
the structure of the cartridge had been
diverted from. its course boomerang
fashion. The shell, itself, hit the
mark, it was said, but fragments Of
brass, apparently from the metal disc
that separates the powder charge from
the shell, were picked out of the flesh
of the three women. The gun itself,
Az inch. was not damaged, according
to the accounts.

Headed OFF.

Saturday morning, this city was the
Waterloo of the matrimonial hopes of
a young couple from Princeton, who
had come here on their way to Clarks-
vile to be married. They had left
home supposedly on a fishing trip but
trrned it into an elopement. The par
ents of the girl found it out and tele-
phoned to Chief Roper to intercept
the couple. The Chief did so, and the
runaways spent the morning very
pleasantly in the Chiefs Office. They
were sent back to Princeton on the
ll;20 train.

BRILLIANT
PROGRAM
Several Patriotic Addresses
Given at Virginia Street
School.

lnesday morning, at the Virginia
Street School, was held one of the
most impressive and finely executed
patriotic programs ever given by a
local school. A large crowd of the
patrons Of the school was present and
the children on the program did their
best to please them.
The first number on the program
was the singing Of God Give Us
Peace" by the school. The Rev. DR..
Anderson then offered the invoca-
ton, after which another song was
sung.
Mrs. w. T. Fowler gave an address
on "Woman's Part In This War;"
which should have been heard by ev-
cry woman and girl tn the city. Mr..
James A. Mckenzie also delivered an
earnest and forceful speech, which
left much to think about. Miss Eliza
beth Tandy, on the part of the school,
told what part the boys and girls have
in the present war. Mr.. Robt. Rives
also made a thrilling and patriotic ap-
peal to the boys to do their prat in
the present crisis.
Miss Lottie Mcdaniel was in charge
of the ceremonies and Miss Mary
Walker led the chorus. Miss Flor
ence Bassett played the accompani-
ments in splendid fashion.
The flag raising ceremony was the
most impressive Of all the program.
Led by Miss Jean Mckee the pupils
gave the salute to the flag as it was
raised to the top of the fagpole. The
flagpole of the Virginia Street School
is the most unique in the city. One
of the large trees near the building
has been stripped Of its branches
and stretches, a living flagstaff, to
the top of tine school building.
Following was the program of the
occasion:

LOTS OF LOTS
CULTIVATED
By Boys Of the City of Hop
kinsville to Help Food
Campaign.

1t can be remembered that when
the United States first became en-
broiled with Germany, Mr.. G. L.
Campbell, of the Hopkinsville Realty
Company, offered vacant lots to all
who would cultivate them. At first
the people of the city thought that the
boys of Hopkinsville would not take
hold and do their part to feed the
world. They thought it was more or
less joke. But now if anyone will
take the time to notice, he will see
that the boys of the city have tar, -
Mr.. Campbell at his word. I'm The.
West Side, on Clay a.S,d ON Viroinia
street, and in fact ON every street
where there were vacant lots there
are now gardens that would make
Luther Burbank blush with shame.
On West Side there are nine lots
cultivated by Robert and Herbert
woodruff and other boys of that
vicinity. The Virginia street school
children have taken several lots on
2lst and 23rd streets. Others on
canton street have been taken by the
Z. agent and his helpers, while an
aged colored man and his family are
culnvatlng five lots on Bentley aven-
ue' Al present there is scarcely a
vacant lot in the city that is not under
cultivation and other cities might
proht by the example of Hopkinsyille.
