80 Fiaht In TunnaI.

A hot fight took place in the tun-
mel. Many Germans battled with
bayonets TO the death and 400 enemy
bodies were counted after the con-
hict. In addition more than 700 pTis-
oners were taken.
Further evidence Of the German
unpreparedness for an offensive in
the Cambria sector was obtained to-
day I'm the capture of an order. drawn
nm by q German battalion COM
mander the day before the attack. 1t
was his summary of events for O week
and he drew this conclusions:
1.-THE attitude of the enemy clearly
is one of defensive"
This commander was stationed in
the forward area and II is quite APP
parent he did not know what was
going on. It is also evident that the
higher command had no information.
The Germans have called upon
every possible source TO get troops to
withstand the British attack. BY
raxinp many places in their line they
apparently were able in the first
forty eight hours Of lighting to bring
in only two new divisions and some
five odd battalions. Today another
division was brought up from the
Aisne front and the 18th division
from Flanders.
Owing to the British artillery work
there is little doubt that the Ger
mEns will be forced to abandon CAM
brat as q rail head for bringing up
troops.

tured it.
Proceeding northward the British
drove the enemy from the trenches
near the edge of Bourbon wood. This
trench was so remarkably well
camoufiaged that no sign OF It was
visible until the British saw German
faces apparently coming out of the
ground. A hand-to-hand battle be-
gan. Later the British were forced
to withdraw slightly because OF
heavy machine gun fighting from
Bourbon village. Yesterday morning
the British again attacked the trench
with the assistance of tanks and es-
tablished their line around the south
ern face Of the wcod.
The troops which captured
FIesquieres and Cantaing encounter
ed hard resistance at the former
place the first day of the offensive.
Tanks led the infantry in the attack

Wednesday the advance was rapid.
Strong resistance was encountered
at the sunken road between Marco

machine gun fire from the direction
Of Cantaing and Bourbon wood. The
British, however, battled their way

was made on Fontaine Notre Dame.
The Germans battled determinedly
here and there was hard fighting at
close quarters but the British hnallN
drove the enemy out.
The British remained in possession
of Fontaine until shortly after noon
Yesterday. when the Germans made
a heavy counter thrust and again oc-
cupied the town. However, the Brit
ish were forced to withdraw only a
short distance and still hold the
ground from Cantaing to the south
Of Bourbon wood.
There was heavy fighting to the
north in the region OF Bullecourt.
The main objective here was the
famous tunnel trench, an under
ground fertilization of great
strength about 1000 yards long. The
entire trench was mined, as the Brit
ish we'll knew and behind 1t the Ger
mans had dug 1000 yards of support
trench. Many concrete pill boxes al

For a month the British had been

faced was the possibility Of the

Dayton's Advance In This Line VIII
Be Shown In Connection
With Advertising
Film,

The story of how a city is helping
its citizens to raise flowers and vege-
tables will be shown in picture and
film next Tuesday night in Elks hall.
The Keokuk Retailers league has
arranged with the National Cash
Register company of Dayton, Ohio.
to show some of it's stereopticon pic.
lures and motion picture film, illus
trating the work that has been done
in Dayton around the plant of that
company. and in other sections of the
city.
there is constructive lesson in
these interesting pictures. They show
what organized effort will produce in
a community. The result in Dayton
is no exception. Other cities have
followed suit with equal success.
Many years ago, the National Cash
Register company adopted the neigh
borhood Improvement idea to over
come certain unsatisfactory condi-
lions that prevailed in the section of
the city in which the factory is To-
Gated. The neighborhood was then
known as Slidertown, and the condi-
ticns were no better than the name
would imply
After trying many experiments, the
officials of the company decided to
train the boys and girls of the COM
munity to raise flowers and vege-
tables in order that they might have
something constructive to occupy
their time The move was success
full, and the story Of how 1t was all
brought about is fascinating one.
1t will be told by the expert lecturer
who accompanies the film and pic
lures.
Every section Of this city will
benefit by applying some of the les
sons to be learned from these pic
lures, and It will be time well spent
to attend the lecture.
In addition there will be shown a
three-reel feature Aim entitled THE
Troubles Of Merchant and How to
Correct Them" These pictures are
especially applicable to merchants
and clerks and are instructive and
entertaining The pictures have at
tracted a great deal Of attention
wherever shown, particularly in some
of the larger cities.

gon-some fifteen colleges in all.
One of the interesting announce
ments made at the national council
meeting was that Teachers college,
Columbia university, has just estab-
lished a course in Scout training.
This was made possible through the
generosity of Mr.. Francis P. Dodge
and Mr.. Cleveland H. Dodge. 1t was
Mr.. Francis p. Dodge, whose deep
interest in the development of good
citizenship through Scout training,
led him to the gift which made pos.
sible the establishment OF a depart
merit of education within the Scout
movement itself, and the employment
of a trained man as the director.
This department Of education IN
the Scout movement, under the lead
ership of Mr.. Lorne w. Barclay, Is
developing a system Of training for
Scout leaders that is being put into
operation throughout the country.
The first training course was held in
February at Co!um bia university, and
was attended by more than five hun.
dred Scout men who came from as
far west as Minnesota and Missouri.
On May 4, S and 6 another confer
ence and training course of this ma
ture will be held at Richmond, Va,
for the Scout officials Of the south,
and about three sweeks later another
session of a similar kind will be held
in Chicago for the Scout officials in
the middle west. Many OF the most
eminent educators Of these respec-
tive districts are taking part In the
instruction work at these confer
ences.
Bow Scouts In War Time.
What the Boy Scouts Of America
will do for sheir- country in case OF
war has been stated so clearly by
the executive board governing the
movement between council meetings.
and this statement has met with such
hearty approval, and no dissent what
ever, in all parts Of the country that
the national councils reaffirmation Of
position in this matter was but a
Formally.
II was apparent howveer, when
this matter was brought up, that the
men who are leading in this organi-
cation of 100000 registered Scouts,
and twice that number of boys who
have had Scout training, feel kesnly
their responsibility in times like
these and are at the same time proud
