That Offspring Is Not Splitter,

In February and March, unable to
stick it out under the everlasting ham,
mering, the Kaiser's men fell back,
| abandoning Bapaume, Peronne, and
surrounding country. The German
High Command had recently prepared
what is known as the Hindenburg Line
Arras to Craonne, via st. Quentin,
and counted upon that to hold.
How Spring Opens
But on April 9th, by a marvelously
rapid maneucer, Sir Douglass, now
Field Marshall Haig, struck at the
Arras pivot and broke it, driving in
the German line to the switch pos
ition between Lens and Queant So
was the spring offensive launched
the first few days netting the British
19,343 prisoners, 257 guns and howit-
zers, 227 trench mortars and 470 ma
chine guns in addition to many which
were destroyed.
Thus the third year of the war has
seen the British get the upper hand
They do not claim that Prussia's
power is broken, but they do claim to
have taken the enemy's measure, won
the initiative and made a telling punch
for victory.

GREAT RECORD OF A YEAR
Junkers Completely Mastered on the
Western Front as the Fourth Year
Of the War Opens
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

| DJ
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD-Today Britain is on top
At the close of the third year of the
war the British bulldog is no longer
on the bottom. The contemplate
little army" which the kaiser sneered
at in 1914 has taken it's medicine and,
despite the hammering it has receiv-
ed, now has Crown Prince Rupprecht's
men rather more han matched.
| The first year of the fight the small
new army recruited by Lord Kitchener
| to take the place of the first hundred
thousand of the regular army, simply
caught Hail Columbia But though
their heads were bloodied, they held
their own. The second year saw more
troops, more guns, more ammunition,
but even as late as Loos the Prussians
was too strong for the new British
army, still lacking as it was in all
machinery of war.
But, at the beginning of the third
year, England had caught up. For the
first time since Armageddon began
the British army faced the enemy on
fairly equal footing. There were plen-
ty of men and plenty of machinery
and with these in hand Sir Douglas
Haig, in July, 1916, began the Battle
of the Somme
In PruSsian Trenches
For two years the Prussians had
been preparing the Somme positions
and, at the time Sir Douglas began
the great adventure, Field Marshal
Hindenburg considered the line i'm
.pregnable. History had never seen
anything approaching it. Behind first
line trenches, deep and reinforced
with concrete and steel, were reserve
lines just as deep and just as strong.
Machine guns, in betoned emplace-
ments fairly bristled along the fire
trenches and many more were in hid
den pits further back while every
wood and thicket had been turned in
to impossible entanglements made of
special barbed wire as thick as
child's finger with wicked barbs every
inch. Concealed turrets of armor-
plate steel had been sunk in the
ground at strategic points leaving only
their revolving. tops and gun-muzzles
above the level of the earth and in be-
tween were redoubts and strong
points, labyrinths, tunnels, quadrilat-
erals and every other device cunning
could put into play.
French and British Fight
The French and British struck to-
gether, the French below the Somme |
river, the British north of it, to-
wards Bapaume, Combles and Peron-
ne. British artillery for the first time |
in the war showed superiority over |
the German and it's continual roll |
rumbled day and night. Prussian air.
men tried to give Prussian gunners |
he range as they had always done in
he past, but now British airmen I,
sweeped upon them like enraged
hawks and drove them down, or back
beyond the lines completely domi-
lating the air. German observation
balloons were sent blazing to the
earth by British planes, out in suffic-
ent number at last. So the enemys
,uns were blind.
But the fight was anything but a
yalk-over for the British and French.

Flxfna Inc Carpet swesper.

The revolving brush of the ordinary carpet sweeper is driven by the frtc- tion of the wheels on which the sweep CT runs against driving wheels on ei- ther end of the brush axle. To insure good friction the peripheries of all Of these wheels are covered with tightly fitting rubber rings. In time these rings wear out. or the rubber becomes hardened and loses its grip. An eff cient method of repairing a sweeper having imperfect or worn rubber rings is to cover the wheels with common electricians tape, such as Is employed for covering joints in wire. The tape should first be wound around the periphery of the wheel until a covering nearly equal to the thickness of the original ring is attained This should then be secured in place by passing the tape around the ring and between the spokes of the wheels. The gripping power of the tape Is fully equal to that of the original rubbeE rings, and the sweeper will be good for service until other parts wear out.
