London, April 1.-THE fighting on
the Western front has assumed almost
the proportions of a general engage
ment from the North sea to the Swiss
border.
As yet the infantry has not been
heavily engaged much to the north Of
Loos, in the Lens region or east of
the scissors region. within which con
fines the battle Of Arras and the strug.
gle for St Quentin are being waged.
The artillery duel, however, is
growing in intensity in the region of
Rheims. in the Champagne and down
the line TO Lorraine and Alsace. Raid.
ing operations by the French in these
sectors have assumed great impor.
tance and similar significant activi-
ties are being displayed by the Bel.
gians north of the present great bat
tlefeld
Were attention not centered at
present on the dramatic situations
about Lens and st Quentin. the fall
of both being considered imminent,
the great artillery battle in the region
between Soissons and Rheims, which
has been going on for several days
doubtless would have attracted more
notice. As it is the potential impor.
tance of this duel OF the big guns
cannot be minimized. presaging, as il
may, offensive movements of the in
fantry on a large scale.
May Turn German Flank.
In this connection the probability
of a northward push by the French
from the Rheims region to turn the
left flank of the hindenburg line, a.
the British have turned the right al
Vimy, has come to the front while
the artillery battle has been raging.
Desperate German resistance and a
probable desire by the British to
squeeze the Germans out of Lens
rather than drive them from this coal
mine and factory town by direct
bombardment and frontal attack, have
delayed the fall of the city.
The situation around ST Quentin is
little changed, but both the British
and French statements revealed a sit
uation there which is making the town
untenable for the Germans. In the
district to the south the French are
steadily pushing forward, reporting
the capture of several points of sup
port in the region of the upper Coucy
forest.
The British captured the village Of
Villeret, southeast of Hargicourt, ac
cording to an Official statement issued
by the British war office. They also
made progress northwest of Lens.
Large captures of guns and war ma
terial were made by the British at Lie
win and in the Lens region.

Believe That GrOcers Should Elimi-
nate Delivery of Goods
Willing to Assist in Every Manner Pos
Sible. GrOcers Consider Central
Delivery System.

Another attempt is to be made
to get the grocery men and meat
men of the city to adopt the cen
trail delivery system as means
of cutting down expenses. The
state Council of Defense have
sent out notices to the effect that
the grocers and meat men must
eliminate expense SO far as pos
sible and the notice amounts to
almost a command to do some
thing along this line. Notices
along the same line have also
been sent out by the County
Council of Defense.
Some time ago there was an
attempt made to inaugurate a
central delivery system for the
city and since the order from
the County Council of Defense
this has again been brought to
the attention of the merchants
with command that something
must be done to conserve labor
and to curtail expense during
war times.
The women of Washburn are
willing to help in the manner
and will assist the merchants in
every wav possible to eliminate
expense.
The following resolutions were
passed at the last meeting of
the Woman's Council:
WHEREAS, The amount of waste
attributable TO the present system
of delivery OF goods by the mer
chants of Washburn. is OF such pro
portions as TO claim the attention

Family Left Destitute.

John Augustine and family,
who are settlers in the town of
Eileen, Bayfield, County, near
Moquah. lost their home furni-
ture and clothing, by fire last
Saturday. They have been left
destitute. 81
The family had left the house
early in the morning to wol k in
the field, when at about ten
O'Clock they were summoned
home by a neighbor's call who
also in passing had noticed the
fire. The fire had by that time
reached such a stage that the
little water they could bring
from the well made no impress
ion.
They had supplies of flour
canned fruit, and vegetables,
all of which were lost. Also the
fruit trees and garden crop sur
rounding the house we're des-
troyed by the heat.
Mr.. Augustine has no means
of rebuilding his house, nor OF
furnishing clothing for his
family.
This is pitiable case and
worthy of our attention, any
gift of money or clothing will be
greatly appreciated.

city are soliciting donations, dc

Would Regulate Them

j. A. (Pa) Sheridan evidently
does not believe that young peo-
pie should be allowed the privi-
lege of attending public dances
and he has succeeded in getting
a majority of the council mem
bers to see the same way as he
does for at the meeting of that
body held on Tuesday evening of
this week an ordinance was
passed which will prohibit young
people from attending public
dances unless accompanied by
their parents or guardian.
But will the council see to the
enforcement of the ordinance?
People who have read it have
smiled for they believe it is one
of those ordinances which will
fill the ordinance book but will
neverbe enforced.
The ordinance provides that
no female under the age of six
teen years and no male under
the age of 18 years shall be per-
mitted to attend any public
dance unless accompanied by
parent or guardian. A fine of
not less than five dollars or not
more than fifty dollars or i'm
prisonment in the county jail for
a period of not less than three
days nor more than thirty is
provided for violation of the
same.
KaProprietors of dance halls or
pavilions are also made violators
of the ordinance if they permit
young people to attend their
dances.

MOquah Stock Show.

On Saturday, August 18th,
the annual Guerensy Stock Show
will be held at Moquah in the
town of Pilsen. This fair is
held for the purpose of encourag-
ing the raising of high grade
stock and getting before the
people what is going on among
them. The fair is growing from
year to year and many attend
annually.
Mr.. Norgord, the state agricul-
tural commissioner, will be pre-
sent at the fair to do the stock
judging and to give a general
talk that will be worth hearing.
Other speakers are Senator A..
w. Sanborn. V. E. Brubaker,
Walter Cate and perhaps Col.
Woods of Nebraska.
Prizes will be given in the
various classes, the show will be
held during the day and a dance
will be given in the evening.
Dinner will be served in the
school house.
People from this city and sur
rounding territory should attend
the fair and it will be an eye
opener for many.

To Join the Army

Although it is not generally
known, Rev. H. l.. Goodrich,
pastor of the Methodist church
in this city, expects to give up
the pastorate of his church after
next Sunday and the family will
move to Cumberland where they
will reside.
Rev. Goodrich has enlisted as
a volunteer in the United States
Army and is now waiting for a
call which will take him to the
training camps. He expects to
join the officers training camp
within a very short time.
