By the Associated Press.
PARIS. July 2.-The French last
night made counter attack and eject
ed the Germans from trenches captured
by them in the offensive last week on
the Aisne front along the Allies Palsy
road. the war office announces The
statement follows:
South of St. Quentin we repulsed an
enemy attack on small posts near
Gauchv.
In the sector between Cerny and
Allies particularly heavy artillery
nsEting continues. Late in the day our
troops made counter attack on both
sides OF the AillesPaissy road. This
action. conducted in a spirited manner,
enabled us to eject the Germans from
the line of trenches which they had oc-
cupied- The reconquered ground was
covered with bodies, bearing witness to
the importance of the losses suffered by
the enemy in his offensive.
violent artillery fighting occurred
along the road between Laon and
Rheims. In the Woevre a strong Ger
man reconnoitering party. which at
tempted to approach our lines near
FlIrey. was dispersed by our fire.
French and German troops were en-
gagged in lively fighting Saturday night
west of Dead Man hill in the Verdun
sector. The position changed hands
hve times. and was finally abandoned
by both sides. \ German infantry at
tack on the French fort Of Avocourt
failed. Surprise attacks on the Aisne
and Champagne fronts also were re-
pulsed by the French.

"Then-then the captainll never be

in the service? Eli"
Captain Fane's memory will re.

The little man did not answer; he
turned his bowler hat round and
round between his square red hands.
There was sound of a voice on
the stairs
"Sir Maine Gorde is coming down
must leave you, l am afraid" the
sister said.
"Supposin is memory don't re.
turn?" Dosser said. Suppose it
don't?"
He went cut into the street. The
chauffeur Of the waiting car asked
him facetiously if he'd been receiving
treatment
ZOOS car is this?" Dosser asked.
'Sir Maline Gordes-the nerve doc.

placently.
1--WE got to see im," Dosser said
suddenly.

mo: I'm goin' to ask i'm to attend

Sir Maline came out.
Instantly the chauffeur returned to
his place by the door of the car.

Yes, sir" he said, touching his cap.
He bent down to start the engine.
AS he did SO a little man jumped
quickly into the tonneau at the back
he held on to the stays Of the hood to
steady himself as the car started.
1t ran smoothly over the wooden
road into Portland Place. Dosser
cautiously raised himself until his
head was on level with the tiny
back window. The car was lighted
inside with electric light. He found
himself gazing directly over the head
OF the doctor, who was writing in a
pnrple-covered notebook
Memory subversive to hypnotism,"
he made out: then at the top of the
page he read the initials, "R. F."
The word memory" seemed to leap
out of the book and into his brain
memory and hypnotism.
He ducked quickly as the car slow
ed down, and was standing on the
broad steps of No. 09 when Sir Maine
having dismissed the car, came up

Are You Proud of Your Front Yard?

Usually it is the back yard that is eyesore
and disgrace to the owner of the property.
Now we learn that the front yards of Rich
mond need improvement and that badly. The re-
port of the survey for vocational education OPP
ened our eyes to the value of the front yard.
The report sets out that most houses in Rich
mond are of square construction and that the
hard lines are unbroken by vines and climbing
plants.
The experts who made the study say that our
citizens have overlooked the advantages of shrub
berry, flowers and vines.
Look along a block of Richmond and you
will see a stretch of angular house fronts. The
view is monotonous. Corners protrude at sharp
angles. Square porches stick out from the fronts.
No green shrubbery or clinging vines soften the
view and give relief.
A new tone of homelike comfort could be CIV
en- to every block in Richmond by the planting OF
vines along the houses and verandas, and by
breaking the lines with shrubbery and flowers.
The redeeming feature of the landscape aspect
of Richmond is the magnificent growths OF trees
that parallel the streets. They hide the ungainly
and cumbersome houses that flank the thorough
fares. If they were removed the cold, naked, and
uncovered appearance of our houses would soon
drive us to the planting of vines and shrubs.
Citizens might devote little money and time
to identifying the front yards this spring.
If the residents of one street would organize
into community center and take up the problem
of front yard improvement, they could re-make
the appearance of their street in one year. The
result would be advantage from an artistic
standpoint and real talking point if a citizen
desired to sell his property Art has a market
value. A beautiful front yard makes the house
look neat, comfortable and cheerful-points that
prospective buyer will note at first glance.

The Parson Who Believed in Pictures

Reverend Harry E. Robbins is an Episcopal
parson whose parish is in Canaseraga, New York.
1t might just as well have been in suburb of
New York City, in Richmond, Greensboro or Alb
ington.
Canaseraga was a typical country town until
pictures. Then it became town with an indi-
viduality and personality. So much for the in
PRODUCTION and setting. If you want more de-
tails read the February number of Everybody
magazine.
The Rev. Mr. Robbins found that the people
of his parish needed more recreation and better
recreation. He organized a Mems club and
bought billiard and pool table. Hardly had
Canaseraga regained its composure before he
startled the citizens again.
He saw an old red-brck opera house that was
idle almost all the year. Once in while, bur-
lesque offered an indecent production to the
amusement hungry popuace.
The parson linked the wide appeal of the NOV
lie with the empty opera house. Why not use the
greatest socializing force in America, the Rev.
MIR. Robbins asked himself.
The nearest movie house was twelve miles
away Why not operate movie in Canaseraga?
Why not make it community affair? Why not
invite every church to help?
He did, The Mems Club put up the money.
The Roman Catholic father joined the movement.
The other pastors held aloof, one of them even
delivering a sermon against the project.
The intrepid parson overhauled the house,
went to New York to buy the equipment, con-
tracted for high class film service, did the first
bill posting himself.
Then he made proposition to the Sunday
school scholars of ALL the churches. Every boy
and girl that went to Sunday school received a
ticket free for the movie. The town needed
church chors. Every person who attended
choir rehearsal received ticket. Both Sunday
schools and choirs prospered.
Did the movie interfere with the progress of
the church? The business men of the town say
