from the council and substituting Gen

Cantaing and Noyelles as well as
the wooded heights north of Mar
Going, from British forces was an
nounced in todays official report.
I'VE advanced against the Brit
ish to a depth of four kilometers
(about two and half miles) and
on a width of 10 kilometers (about
six and a quarter miles," the Off
cial statement declared.
South of Moeuvres English
trenches were stormed," the war
office continued. Between Moeu-
vres and Marcoing the enemy
withdrew from the heights TO the
north to east of Flesquieries
"In the Cambrai region. our
prisoners were increased to more
than 5000 men, 14S guns and ZIG
machine guns"
If the German claims are borne out
by the facts. the British have appar-
emily suffered q crushing reverse on
the southern half of the arc pushed
forward around Cambrai by General
Byng's great surprise attack. In some
places, the Germans, according to their
own claims, have advanced more nearly
three miles into the British held
ground than the two they mention.
Graincourt Is nearly this distance
behind the most advanced of the Brit
ish positions, as they were pushed up
toward Cambria. Flesquieries, which
the British are said to have retreated
is slightly more than three miles. With
Marcojng, Anneux, Cantaing and Noy-
elles, these villages all lie in the center
angle which Byng jammed through the
Hindenburg line and the British have
been forced back nearly to where they
started from before Byng's victory.

Dummy Cows" Used to
Teach Farm Recruits

COPIED Hall, Eng, April IS. - The
dummy COW" is perhaps the most in
teresting part of the machinery of the
new schools of farming which are
springing up all over rural England
for the purpose of teaching the rudi-
ments to young women volunteers for
work on the land.
OF these schools, one of the largest
is close to London, on the borders of
Epping Forest, which is to the Brit
ish metropolis what Bronx Park is to
New York. The school is on a large
ecclesiastical estate known as "Copped
Hail." where the girls are billetted in
towering, lavish buildings of ancient
red brick, once the shelter of hooded
monks and leisurely frars.
The school boasts of ten dummy
cows" on which the would-be milk
maids must practice milking. The
dummy consists of four tripod legs
and an india rubber bag with four red
rubber teats. The bag is filled with
water, then the instructor adjusts the
flow at either hard" medium" or
easy" and the novice goes to work.
After a weeks practice on the dunn
my. two hours day, the students are
allowed to try their skill in milking
nanny goats. They must spend at least
a week milking nanny goats before
they are allowed to touch q real cow.
1t is a great occasion for q girl pupil
when she is allowed for the first time
TO milk cow.
