From staff Correspondent Of the Associated Press
| BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
| FRANCE. March IS. via London, March
19.-In the city of Albert, where the
| famous eilded leaning Virgin still de-
pends miraculously from the lofty
| tower of a rather gaudy and fan
tasticaliy shell-torn church, there has
long been a British sign reading ITO
Bapaume." 1t has pointed the way
along a narrow, straight road toward
the quaint Picardy town; transformed
by the Germans into what they term a
modern field Gibraltar.
Between Albert and Bapaume lie the
battleffelds of the greatest martial
struggles of all history. They are called
correctly might be termed the battles
of the Bapaums road. 1t has been
long ten miles, but at last Bapaume
has been taken, and the British khaki
line extends well beyond it in all direc-
tions.
Fires to Screen Retreat.
The field-gray German lines are fall
ing back now on a front approximating
forty miles. They are dissolving IN
clouds of blue-gray smoke, for the
in their wake. No village is being
spared from the torch. The retreat
on the British front now extends from
we'll below Chaulnes, on the south,
almost to Arras. on the north, and COW
ers about one-third of the entire Brit
ish line. 1t has even extended down
where the French lines begin.
Today the British pushed into Pc
rome. where they had to fight virtually
every step of the way. There have been
many fires in Peronne burning since
Friday. The Germans also burned the
suburb of Halle before abandoning it.
A score or more of towns and villages
have been taken by the British during
the day, and it was reported tonight
that patrols had reached as far as
Nesle, southeast of Chaulnes.
For time it seemed as if the Ger
man retreat would swing from LIE
Transloy. as the southern pivot, but
already it has gone far beyond that.
Everywhere along this wide front the
British are pressing the fleeing Ger
man rear guard, and Bapaume wit
messed lively street fighting.

School Notes

Perhaps the most interesting
and important work in education
IS the scientific testing Of the
ability Of school children to
read, spell, write and use num-
bers. On Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, October /, 2 and 3
We shall have with US Chas. N.
Harlan Of the University Of Min
nesota to give these educational
tests IN our school. We propose
to determine as accurately as
possible the ability of our child
rem to read, write, spell and to
use numbers. Then we IAN meas
ure the progress Of our children
made under the instruction Of the
present school year. The test
will be made, not to cast reflect
ions upon the work of anyone in
the past, but simply to find out
where our children live mentally
and what they are worth in such
an every day matter as for ex-
ample, oral and silent reading.

Sunday

Great changes sometimes move SO
quietly that their progress is not not
ed. This is largely true OF the revo-
luton now in progress from the in
vention Of the gasolene engine.
Perhaps no more important invention
has been made since 1863, when James
Watt gave the steam engine to the
world.
OF all its applications, in peace and
war. the most I amiliar is the auto
mobile. Next Sunday morning will
be known as automobile Sunday at
the Methodist Episcopal church.
Rev. A. +. Buritf will speak of the
automobile in its relation to the or.
binary and extraordinary events OF
life and all automobile wners having
other church engagements are urg-
