WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN CHAMPAGNE, May 2.-France
is waging her greatest artillery
battle of the war to blast loose the
German hold on the Crest of
Moronvilliers-Gi Of the
Champagne plains.
And within hearing of the tre-
mendous thunder of her cannon
almost in sight of them-French
soldiers are working alongside
peasant women, girls and little
children in blowing, sowing and
narrowing the ground, fighting
Frances economic battle as their
brothers in the trenches just
ahead fight the military combat.
This greatest battle of the guns
began Sunday. 1t extended over
more than eight miles. No Sab
bath calm reigned here. 1t was
an inferno of noise and smoke and
flame. For "a hours l watched
it's progress, standing on a height
north Of the Vesle Valley.

BIG GUNS SERVE TO
BREAK German Grip

All through the night of steel
hail the isolated Germans sent up
multi-colored distress signals seek
ing assistance from the rear,
while in front of their trenches,
over No Mans Land, their illum-
mating shells momentarily turned
night into day.
Simultaneous with this combat,
an equally fierce aerial battle
ragged in the star-lighted heavens.
Both French and Germany army
commanders sent behind the 9TH
er's lines big bombarding squad
rons of aeroplanes.
Back to the rear great search
lights fingered the sky locating the
enemy raiders, while anti-aircraft
guns shelled the skies.
Leap From Trenches.
At daybreak these nighthawks
left the air. They were replaced
by French observation planes
soaring over that part of the front
where the attack was impending,
seeking out the places where the
nights bombardment had not yet
completed its destruction.
At 1910 in the afternoon the
French infantry leaped from their
trenches and went Looping up the
slopes of Mounts Haul and Corn
illet.
Although in. the first onward
rush the French were victorious
everywhere, the Germans gradu-
ally put up the resistance of des-
peration. Hindenburg threw in
to the struggle another of his
"strategical reserve" divisions, the
third of his total OF 43 reserve d.
visions on the western front which
he has already sacrificed in seek
ing to check the Franco-British Of
fensive.
Break German Grip.
With the event Of this fresh
division, fierce bayonet and hand
grenade fighting ensued. The
French were occasionally driven
back. But every time they dog
gedly re-attacked. Mghtfall found
them ever tighter grasping Moron
villiers crest and one of Germany's
firmest grips still left on French
soil.
That grip is all but broken.
Germany's fingers only hold a tiny
bit OF it now.

riot. There were probably three
factors in the creation of this
riot: race prejustice, lack of mix
itary disciplian and the saloon.
The saloon the greatest factor
of the three named. "The Mayor
ordered the saloons closed" the
story goes. Why of course, when
there is any trouble in a wet
town the saloons must be clos
ed, for they are constant form
entors of strife riots and blood
shead. That is their history In
all times and countries.
It is astonishing that any city,
town or community will tolerate
business which on all occasions
when the public safety is threat
ened, must be closed. And yet
there are men who defend, and
vote to perpetuate such an unit
igated curse.
If were a citizen of Houston,
and had as many there, used my
influence to favor such a busi-
ness, | would feel that the blood
of Houston's seventeen citizens,
ruthlessly murdered by a mob
of drunken soldiers, was upon
my soul.
Yes sir: there may have been
a race prejustice: but it was a
drunken riot, such as never oc-
ours except in a wet town. Now
the whole thing is a disgrace TO
Houston, to the army and to
America.
! About three things at least
ought to follow this sad affair,
namely:
) Houston ought to be forced to
become bone dry. Uncle Sam
: should abolish the canteen; and
hang those soldier murderers.
: And if Houston's surviving po-
lice remain in the habit of drink
) ing, they should be dismissed
: from the service.

reference to John Barleycorn,

I am glad to believe is true.
But John is still able to kick
up trouble, and will continue to
do so, as long as he has a leg to
stand ON, for we must remember
that this liquor curse is Satan's
own offspring, and its mission is
to disturb the peace, both public
and private.

tween the negro soldiers and the
citizens of Houston, Texas.
