FRENCH WEDGE CUTS
ALTA FERE LINES
Germans Forced to Give Up
Two Forts Near Flooded
City.

LONDON, March 25.-Within forty
eight hours a French wedge will al
most certainly push the Germans
from their positions about what Is
left of the flooded city OF La Fere,
French troops have captured Forts
Liez and Vendoul, outer defenses of
La Fere, and now dominate the city.
After q desperate fight north of the
city, the Germans have been cleared
from the four miles of the west bank
of the River Disc, directly north of
La Fere. The French are in the
northern outskirts of the city. All
doubt has vanished that the Germans
intend to retire to the high ground
east and northeast of the city.
Further to the north the French
have come up to the intrenchments of
the Hindenburg line, near st. Quen-
tin North of the Somme we have
forced back the enemy to the out
skirts OF Savy," says the official
French announcement, where he had
established himself in a line of
trenches prepared in advance from
the Somme to the Oise."

German retirement the French troops
are making continuous progress. taking
more villages beyond the Ailette and
threatening the left flank Of the German
line In St Gobain forest, which may be
driven back to Laon.
On the British front progress con-
tinues to be slower than on the French.
but the British troops today occupied
the large town OF Roisel, thirteen miles
west Of St Quentin, and a railroad juno
tion. German counter attacks further
north have been beaten back
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig re-
ports his forces fought their way
through the German rear guards in con-
nict that was becoming increasingly bit
ter.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
Germans TO destroy the roads as they
retire the allies have managed to bring
up good force OF all but their heaviest
artillery and the guns are busy again

Children's Stories
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Vopyright. 1915, by Frank Crane)


Classic Myths" by Mary Catherine
Judd Of the Lincoln School, Minneapolis.
80 cents
-Four Old Greeks" by Jennie Hall of
the Chicago Normal School. 80 cents.
Morse Stories" by Hamilton Wright
Mabie. 40 cents.
Child Stories from the Masters" by
Maud Menefee.' 30 cents.
washington. Virginia Cavalier" by
William H. Mace 80 cents.
These five little books have recently
fallen under my notice, and | here give
heir titles and prices for the benefit of
those who are in search of ideal stories
for children.
Stories of some kind children must
have. And the best stories for childhood
are those of the childhood of the world
The Older the tale the better it is. II
is curious 10 reflect how the temples and
other structures of enduring stone have
Icrumbled, the cities have disappeared.
and all the proud works of man have been
devoured by time. while these airy crea-
lures of the fancy live on ever green.
How much more imperishable is spirit
than matterl
The stories told in these books are the
kind that every child ought TO have as
part of his mental equipment. They per-
meate literature and life. Not to remem-
Der dates and facts is no disgrace, but
to be ignorant of Achilles Thor, Sieg-
fried. Apollo, Orpheus. and Hercules. and
of their mythic exploits, is quite mex
cusable.
The satisfactory condition. therefore,
results, that the things child ought to
know about are the very things he likes
BEST 10 hear about
mention the Washington book in this
onnection because he is our own hero,
me with whose life our children are all
90 unfamiliar, and MIR. Mace's volume
is singularly interesting.
Along with these. let your children
read those other child classics that ought
to be in every chiId's library; such as
Ruskin's Queen Of the Air" Charles
Kingsley's Heroes" Miss Yonge's Book
Of Golden Deeds" Hawthone's "Tangle-
wood Tales and that friend of our
youth. Bullfnch's Mythology, the Age Of
Fable" These any bookseller can get
for you.
Besides this, teach the children to play
at being Greek heroes and gods, dress
as Greeks, and initiate their amor.
Get them also the one-cent Perry pic
lures, and familiarize them with classic
things.
The child can absorb more OF the at
mosphere Of culture by stories and by
lay than he can gain in years of study
in his more mature years
