Italians Have Stopped leu
ton Advance and Taken
1900 Prisoners.
LATINS COUNTER SUPERB
AustrO- Germans Fail to Break
From War Trap Near
ZensOn, Lose Heavy.

All along the Pave river the Itai-
ians are holding the German and Aus
tro- Hungarian armies in check. No
where have the invaders been able to
cross the stream and at several places
where they had previously gained ac-
cess to the western bank they have
been brilliantly counter-attacked and
forced to withdraw to the river edge.
On the Zenson loop sector in the
south the enemy has endeavored to
extricate himself from his serious po-
sition, but the Italians, putting down
an attack with heavy losses, closed in
upon the invaders and made moro
precarious their situation. The Ital-
ians, in the fighting along the west
eru bank of the waterway, have cap
tured considerably more 1000 pris-
oners and also. taken p machine guns.
In the Fagare zone the enemy has
been completely vanquished and fore
ed to give up his position.
In the billy region representing the
northern front between Lake Garda
and the region south of Feltre, all the
Austro-G German attacks, some of them
delivered with extreme violence, have
been repealed, according to the Rome
war office, although they assert that
northeast Of the Asiago and between
the Brenta and Pave rivers the Ital-
ians have been driven from noun
tain positions.
No advices have come through to
show that the British and French re-
Inducements have reached the Italian
line in any considerable numbers but
the few days" which it was an
nounced last week must intervene be-
fore they could stiffen the front now
are at an end. Therefore it is pre-
sumed that with the Italians having
bora the brunt OF the Teutonic allies
attack during the last week unaided,
the aid of the allies in their line will
turn the balance of the scale in their
favor.
One hears talk in high quarters that
if the Pave line holds another few
days the tide will be turned, as its
successful defense through six fearful
days has established that the enemy
has his limitations.

FINE SALE.
$4,000 Of Registered Jerseys
Sold at High Prices.

The sale of 80 head of Jersey cattle
by Gore G. Rogers Saturday was big
success and high prices were realized
for everything offered. One of the
cows brought $685. and even the little
calves brought $50. The Elk Valley
Farm, of Todd county, was a large
buyer of the mich cows and w. w.
Bradley bought several head, but
most of them were bought by parties
in Christian county. Mr.. w. L. Gore
bought good many himself, the part
nership stock being sold for division.
The day was fine and the sale was
largely attended. Auctioneer Roberts

BIG DRIVE YESTERDAY

The Y. NJ. C. A. war work fund of
S., 450 for Christian county was not
all raised yesterday, but under the
lead of Chairman Jas. A. Mckenzie a
final drive was being made. The
subscriptions the first day were less
than $1,000 and 5000 at Pembroke.
The rest of the county probably rails
ed enough to bring it up to about
half. The returns from yesterdays
work were not compiled at the press
hour, but much is yet TO be done to
bring the total up to the minimum
amount asked.
1t will not do for Christian county
to come up lacking and unless the full
amount is secured, the campaign will
in all probability be continued until
il is.

If Farmers Will Agree to Put
In $1,000 Acres Of To-
matoes Next Year.
HERE'S A LIBERAL OFFER
Experienced Man With Ample
Capital Wants to Locate
Canning Factory.

Secretary G. E. Dalton, of the H.
B. NJ. A., has a proposition from a
party who has been in the canning
business for 81 years, who proposes
TO establish canning factory tn Hop
kinsville covering three acres of
ground, at a cost of $25, 900.
He wants the farmers of Christian
county to pledge 1000 acres of toma-
toes and in turn he will agree to buy
them all at $l2. so a ton delivered.
The company he represents has a
factory at Greensboro and Daviess
county has pledged 1880 acres for
1918. The average yield per acre is
about ten tons.
II has also been operating at Union
City, Tenn, for II years. The party
promises to take all kinds Of vegeta-
bles in addition to tomatoes. He thor
oughly understands the business and
has made 1t success elsewhere and
is satisfied he can do the same here.
He does not ask for money of stock
subscriptions, but only wants the
farmers to furnish him with products
that ought to yield them $l25 an acre.
His factory would employ about 500
hands, white and colored, during the
canning season.
All farmers who will grow toma'
toes in any quantity are asked to COM
municate with Secretary Dalton, OF
the H. B. M. A., Ben McReynolds, of
the Christian County Board of Agri-
culture, District Farm Agent Wyatt,
or anyone else connected with the H.
B. M. A. or County Board of Agri-
culture.

JAFFA FALLS
TO BRITISH
Turks Driven Out Of the
Seaport Of Palestine
Saturday.
HEN ON IN FLANDERS
British Chase German Sea
Craft Into Their Haven
Of Safety.
HEN ON IN FLANDERS


Again the artillery duel on the
Flanders front has reached tremend-
GUS proportions and ii is not unlikely
that Field Marshal Haig has in pre-
paration another dash forward from
the region of Passchendaele toward
the town of Roulers and the important
railway line serving the German
front from the North sea southwark.
The Germans, anticipating another
of the irresistible operations of the
British commander-in-chief, are d.
recting their heavy gun fire on the
position in the neigh eorhood of Pass
chendaele and Langemarch and south
of the Polygon wood.
To the south the big guns of the
French and the Germans also are ac-
tive along the Chemin Des Danes and
the present week doubtless will wit
ness another attempt by General
Petain's army here to press further
forward toward Laon.
The British troops in Palestine are
giving the Turks no rest. The i'm
portant city of Jaffa on the Mediter-
ranean has been captured by them,
the Ottoman forces offering no re-
sistance. It is stated that instead of
standing and offering battle, the
Turks are in retirement northward.
The German naval forces encount-
cred by British light war craft in the
North sea Saturday were forced to
seek haven of safety under the pro-
lection of their battle fleets and be-
hind mine fieldsof Helgoland. The
British warships chased the fleeing
enemy as far as was compatible with
safety and when last seen one of the
Germans was on fire and another APP
parently had been damaged by the
craftsmanship of the pursuers. In
addition a German minesweeper was
sunk. The British naval unit suffered
slight material damage and there were
few casualties among the crews.

HOWARD STOVES ANNUAL.
OPOSSUM SUPPER.
friend Host, we're mighty glad we're
here,
Now pleasures bud has burst in
blossom,
Midst all this hospitable cheer,
Stands out the luscious fat opossum,
II never occurred TO me before,
Why of all dishes he's most winning,
He provokes these smiles galore,
Because he spent his life grinning.
Anniversaries aren't all unmixed joys,
For don't these milestones all remind
us,
That though We still are merely boys,
Another year has slipped behind us?
his eye is just as bright,
And welcome none the colder,
Our genial host reflects tonight
Though smiling still, he's one year
older.
But vanish thought Of age or care,
Also the Kaiser, dubbed the devil,
With such host, such tempting fare.
There's nothing on but just revel,
Dur dollars all may fly the air,
And all Of us be on our uppers,
But each man Jacks a millionaire,
At one OF Towards opossum suppers. |
