British pressed their attack against the Germans today all along the line south of Cambrai to the vicinity of Lens. So much booty was taken in the first rush of this assault that it has not all been reported.
 Yesterdays fighting and gains far surpassed the first days of the battle of the Somme last July. The Cana dians today command the Vimy ridge and are reported to be well beyond it at some points.
 More villages were captured today in the direction of Cambrai and the fighting is intensive.
 The British casualties have been light, fact which is due largely to the splendid artillery covering. Most of the casualties are slight wounds. Men who are walking back to the hospitals from the forward moving front give glowing accounts of how the Germans are being done every where. After being bandaged in the forward driving posts the men return whistling or singing in high spirit.
 The crowded cages for prisoners and divisional headquarters have been a source of greatest interest to the Tommies who are awaiting their turn at the front. They gather about the outer circles of barbed wire and con- verse with Germans who are able to speak English.

 Whether or not 1t is to prove the be- Beginning of g. decisive battle. 1t is
 tound. according to the present in-
 lention here, to lead to results of
 Fhe2 highest importance. The main Ynesu't of the battle thus far on which
 nttcntion has been focused, is the cap-
 Fnre of Vimy ridge. The immense aluc of this series of heights, which
 t'oninate the plain from an elevation
 of 400 to 500 feet, has been recog-
 Inlzed throughout the war and great Eocrif1ces have been regarded as ,stifiable if they resulted in its pos '. ession.
 4 The French and Germans fought ercely for control of the ridge in le summer of 1915. both sides suffer- Iiag losses but in the end the Ger 1nans held the main portion of the srosition. Later the British took over 1.-the French line but were busted by 1.-the Germans from part of the ridge. Military critics, commenting on the apresent battle, thus described the im- Qportance of the Vimy heights.
 They are admittedly the bastion 1of the enemy's western line. What Never else has been allowed to go he held Vi1ny ridge with grim resolve
 and lavished upon it all the arts in
 fortif1cations and defensive skill that the war has taught him. Upon 1t ! hinges the whole strategy of the eHemy's retreat in the west. With vin1y firmly held he can swing his \ line farther south slowly back, until each part of it reaches the position where he has a mind to stand. and he can cover the French industrial \ districts upon which he depends so q much for supplies. But with Vimy 4 gone, the defense of these districts can hardly be maintained, the pivot sof the whole retreat shifts and gives 'Fbackward and is in instant risk of Fracture"
 Warn Against Optimism.
 The issues depending upon British ability to hold the ridge therefore are immense. At the moment there is nothing to suggest a doubt that the ridge will be held but the battel is still fiercely continuing and there is little disposition here to indulge ill confident predictions. Neverthe- less, the opinion is expressed that if Isthe Germans are definitely driven ing they are likely enough to be com pelled to acknowledge defeat and re- tire to what is called the Mouse line

Used to write to your six best friends

You need quite a good many clothes
in summer; many more than any other

probably have your dresses in the

low you to. Bingham wont fade if the
colors are set properly. The best way
to set the colors is 10 soak them over

spoonfuls of salt to two gallons OF

soft and straight and if you have your
dresses ironed without any starch they
will look exactly like new.
A dress extremely smart for hot
weather is a little empire dress with
a white lawn blouse that can be laun-

probably appeals more to your daugh-
