Charities Board Makes Report.

The quarterly bulletin of the state
board Of charities and corrections
has just been issued. In this issue
the conditions obtaining in the jails
Of % counties, the conditions OF the
chaingangs in Al counties and how
paupers fare in 18 counties are set
forth in intimates detail. Facts treat
ed are so marshaled as to Indicate:
(a) whether persons are liable to be-
come worse physically and morally
during confinement In the county
tails; (b) whether the treatment Of
tho convicts on the chaingangs is
dencies and whether their living con-
ditions tend to prevent disease among
them; and (c) whether inmates Of
almshouses get hospital-home care,
which such institutions should give.
Many Of the facts related deal with
the sanitary condition Of the quar-.
tors, personal hygiene of the prison
ers and the classification Of the in
mates. The bulletin shows that new
5ails are needed In many Of the coun.
tics. In some Of the buildings the
fire hazard Is alarming and poor ia
cilities are provided for giving the
prisoners baths. Bedding of the poor.
est quality is used in many Of tho
jails, and these quilts or blankets on
which the prisoners sleep are IN many
cases not washed often enough to
guarantee the health Of the prisoners.
Vaccination against infectious dis.
eases is urged in every case, where
such provision Is not insisted upon.

From a staff Correspondent OF the
Associated Press, British Headquar-
ters in France, April % (via LONDON
1I:5O p. m)--There was most desper-
ate fighting along the British front to-
day and the Germans evidently
spurred on by the declarations from
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg that
they must hold their present positions
at all costs, are making resistance
more stubborn than any heretofore
encountered. At various points cap
tured in the first onward rush by the
British, the Germans have been or
dered into counter-attacks with
reckless disregard for loss of life.
Germans Come In Waves.
The battle was still in progress
late today and 1t was possible near
Oppy to see at one time no less than
five gray waves Of Germans blindly
facing the British fire in an attempt
to retake their lost positions Heavy
shells broke upon them in a great ex-
plosive torrent, and where each shell
burst great gaps were cut in the ranks
of the oncoming men. Those who
penetrated the British barrage from
the larger caliber guns were met by
field gun fire and moved down under

continuous sprays or macnihe gun
bullets.
Under this CALLING fire the attack
utterly broke down. In some places
there was ferocious hand to hand
fighting. The British got in we'll with
the bayonet. but there was one Dit OF
fighting in which even bayonets were
forgotten, and the men went at each
others throats and eyes. Many Ger
mans went to their death from blows
from rifle butts.
At times the fighting was wholly OBJ
scured by great clouds of dust, the
muddy battlefields of ten days ago
having entirely disappeared. The
dust raised by the barrage fire re-
sembled an approaching storm
shrapnel bullets were pelting the dry
earth like so many leaden drops OF
rain, and great mountains of dust
seemed to spring from the earth ev-
erywhere.
Attack Begins at Dawn.
The attack began with the coming
OF dawn. It extended In an easter.y
direction from vimy ridge at its
northern hinge, and southwark to the
Scarpe. Progress was made every
| where and the so-called Oppy-Meri-
court line, which protects the Dro
| court switch to the Hindenburg line
was pierced again.

make Wilson'S Message Good"
II appeal to you to take the lead
in making good the presidents mes
sage of April 2, in which he set forth
the reasons why it was our unescap-
able duty to make war upon Germany.
We can make the presidents message
stand among the great state papers Ill
our history; but we can make 1t gooo
only if We fight with all our strength
now, at once: if at the earliest possl-
BILE moment we put the flag on the
firing line and keep it there over q
constantly growing army, until the
war closes by peace which brings
victory to the great cause of democ"
racy and civilization, the great cause
of justice and fair play among the
peoples of the world.
1--WE Americans are at war. NOW
let us fight. Let us make it real
war, not a dollar war. Let us show
that we have the manhood to pay with
our own bodies, and not merely to hire
other men to pay with their bodies
Let us fight at once. Let us put the
flag at the front now, at the earlies
moment, and not merely announce
that we are going to fight year OF
two hence"
Asserting that America should i'm
mediately set about raising grea
army on the principle of universal OBJ
ligatory military training and service
and declaring that it would require
| long time to train such an army, Mr.
Roosevelt declared
Colonel Is in a Hurry.
"But most emphatically, we shoul'
not rest content with this. We shoul'
not rest content with merely prepar
ing an army to act year or eighteen
months or two years hence. Let u
put the flag on the firing line at tn
earliest possible moment, this sum
mer, wherever our services are mos
