Bereft of all life's hope, and drain

OF anguish smiling, with her loved one

To his swift death. Hey eyes yet

From sadness as the flag goes by What

Cheerful the day, and silently, but

Alone in darkness when the great

Kept burning in the home, which

Far-reaching, burns for all as if, above

Such love to help his purpose, thus to

on the enemy were regarded rs more

ever. is more intense.
The latest reports from the battle
front show that the Hindenburg line
was pierced both northwest and
southeast of Bullecourt for long dis
tances. The Germans bitterly de-
Tended these strong points and at
tempted several times to retake them
but once the British were in the dGep
trenches they held on.
The men fought so steadily that
there was neither time for thought
of food. The battlefelds were dry
and dusty, however, and water bot
ties had to be replenished. time and

do so.
