London, May 5.-Following up their
brilliant success of yesterday when they
captured Craonne. French troops today
continued their advance, and despite des-
perate resistance by the Teutonic forces,
swept along the road from soissons to
Laon. distance of nearly four miles.
This was officially announced In the
French communique issued in Paris to-
night
The plateau in the neighborhood of
Craonne and Corny, and the hills DOM
mating the Ailetts river valley were
taken by the French soldiers. The French
also captured 400 German prisoners.
These were taken in addition to the loo
captured yesterday.
Today's French drive was a master
stroke OF strategy. On a large scale
the operation was similar to that of
the British southeast of Lens a few days
ago. As Sir Douglas HaIg struck out
for the railway leading to Douai, north
ern pivot of the Hindenburg line, so Gen.
Nivelle today threw his troops against
the German lines protecting the line run

Both blows hit home. and the Hinden-
burg line is menaced at each flank, while
in the center the British are Tightening

Emphasis is laid in the night COM
munique from Paris upon the tenacious
defense of the Teutons and the uncsasing
counter-attacks, marked by a reckless
disregard for life.

ingly frightful.

By the International News servies.)
New York, May s.-A program to
stop the ravages of German subma-
rines on maritime commerce has been
submitted to the government by the
Naval Advisory Board. This was
announced today by w. L. Saunders,
chairman of the board. He said the
plan, in his opinion, was a practical
solution of the U-boat problem. He
said it was not purely theoretical but
that it had been proved by actual
tests along the Atlantic coast.
The scheme is not merely a de-
fensiye measure against the subma-
rine. Mr.. Saunders said it called
for offensive operations on an ex-
tensive scale"
Thomas A. Edison, who is presi-
dent of the board, did not originate
the scheme, Mr.. Saunders said. But
the inventive wizard, he said, had
been working tirelessly to perfect its
many phases.
Since the declaration of war
against Germany Mr.. Edison and his
assistants have been trying thou
sands of schemes suggested to block
Germany's underseas warfare, now
admittedly the greatest menace to the
European allies and their new Amer
lean partner, the United States
Edisonian PraeticabIIIty.
Benin the program submitted to the
Navy Department Is all OF the EdiSonian
practicability and all of Edison's deft
skin IN accomplishing the seemingly i'm
possible Announcement Of the scheme
by the chairman of the board dispelled
doubts that Il might be merely another
academic idea devoid OF practical use.

The Hague, May 5.-The possibility of

In the forenoon a special delivery

a crate of oranges had been sent by
express to the pupils of the fifth and
second grades, where Lorraine and
Hollis attend school
The children expected to live in
anticipation two or three days before
the oranges would arrive, and there
fore were more than surprised when an
express wagon delivered the crate IN
the afternoon. There was big, lus-
cious orange, of a size selling here for
80 cents a dozen. for each child of both
grades, and then there were enough
left for few of the other children IN
the building. Lorraine wrote letter to
the children, telling how the oranges
were packed, as the Norris children had
seen this particular crate packed and
made ready for shipment to their
scFooImates. The treat was greatly ap-
preciated by the youngsters, and 1t was
especially pleasing from the fact that
the little Norris girls had been so

THE IMPULSE TOWARD THRIFT

The Liberty Loan was not devised as a method of
encouraging thrift among the American people. It was
started because the government had to have money. But
incidentally 1t 10 doing much to encourage thrift. There
are probably many thousand small Liberty bonds now
owned by individuals who never saved q cent in their
lives before, and who never before at one time owned fifty
dollars worth Of anything that had an actual and present
cash value. Here is a case which may be typical of
thousands:
When the first Liberty Loan was being placed a
young man was urged by his employer to buy a $50 bond.
The young man was reluctant. He thought he could not
afford 1t. The employer was rather insistent. He pro-
posed that the young man subscribe for a bond and make
on the installment plan until $25 had been
paid. 'Then," said the employer, IF you do not wish to
continue. I will pay you your $5 with accrued interest
and take the contract OF your hands"
When the SIS had been paid the employe was re-
minded Of his arrangement, and was asked II he wished
to relinquish his bond. He replied that he did not. He
wanted to continue. He had become the owner of re-
munerative property. His bond was earning money for
him. The process was interesting, and a little fascinat-
ing. He wanted it to continue. He paid for his first
bond. and has become a purchaser in the new series.
The chances are that something has been started in
that young mans career which will influence his whole
life. From a youth without care and without recognized
responsibilities he has become a. man Of substance. He
owns something which he accumulated by his own effort.
He likes it. He is going to keep it up. And this in adj
dition to the main fact that he has become an active
partner in the business of this nation, a JOINT 1wner of
its property, a participant in all its enterprises.
