NEW YORK. April 14.-Approxi
mately one month ago the British anC
French offensive began coincidenta

on the western front.
In that month, including Field Mar
shall Haig's captures today, the Fran
co-British forces have recovered ap

French territory from the invader, ex
tending over front OF more than
seventy-five miles. Some of it ha.

hands in the most violent fighting OF
the war.
In some places the British advance
he's reached forward twenty-five
miles. This much was registered in
the lump from around Estrees to Fre.;'
noy lie Petit, north of st. Quentin.
The line of the Hindenburg retrea.

Lens on the north, and around ST.

two pivotal positions that the great
est drives of the war, are now being

Iowa is one of Thil.ty-four to An
nounce Its Plans for Observing
Exercises In Favor Of
His Highness.
Is FIRST WEEK IN MAY
This is Time for Observance In keo-
kuk When Baby Welfare League
and Visiting Nurse Asso-
citation Cooperate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
Nebraska is planning the earnest
baby week of 1917, according to ad-
vices received by the children s
bureau. California and Massachu-
sets and few communities in Penn
syivania and doubtless others who
have not reported on their plans will
also hold baby weeks in advance OF
the general date. But in most or
the 5O2 communities from which the
children's bureau has already heard,
baby week will be. celebrated the
first week in May.
In Nebraska and a few other
states the state baby week commit
tees are suggesting that local CAM
paigns Se held during different
weeks In different districts so that
circuits may be arranged for speak
ers and exhibit material. Where
such a plan is carried out the state
celebration will probably last after
the 9Th of May.
Plans In Thirty-four States.
Statewide plans for baby week
are already under way in at least
thirty-four states, representing every
section of the country. Several
state COMMITTEES have selected some
one phase of infant welfare work
for special emphasis in this years
campaign. In Washington, for
example, many communities are
testing the completeness of their
birth records in advance of baby
week. The Importance of complete
records is to be emphasized also in
Illinois, in Iowa, in New Hampshire,
and in Ohio.
The Delaware campaign is to be
devoted to the prevention OF infan-
tile paralysis. North Dakota calls
attention to the needs of children
under school age. Kansas, which
held the record among all the states
for the largest number of local baby
weeks in 1916, is emphasizing three
needs in this years plans: Complete
birth registration throughout the
state, instruction Of mothers in the
principles of baby care, and betten
understanding of the care that ex-
pectant mothers ought to have.
Seek Permanent Results.
The details of local plans develop
later than the state plans, and these
are just beginning to come to the
children's bureau. 1t seems that local
committees are commonly choosing
one or more specific purposes in
order that the campaign may have
permanent results, even in states for
which no specific program is sug-
gested.
The children's bureau has a bulle-
tin on the planning and carrying out
of baby week campaigns and other
material of assistance to local COM
mittees which it Is glad to send
upon request.
