Berlin, April l8.-"On the Aisne,s
says an official statement issued
Monday, "a great French attempt to
break through, with far distant OBJ
ject. has commenced. after ten days
mass fire. A bitter fight is proceed
ing on 40-kilometer front around our
foremost positions"
British Headquarters in France
With the hot flames OF war raging
along the entire wsztern front British
and French alike. ii can be stated
that each detail Of the offensive has
been worked out at prolonged confer.
ences between General Nivelle and
Field Marshal Haig and the war coun-
ellis OF France and England. The part
to be played by each belligerent has
been definitely agreed upon, and a
schedule has been arranged as for one
great cohesive force. Various tasks
have been precisely allotted along the
wide-reaching battle-lines, and the re-
suits thus far attained justify the con.
clusion that the supreme military test
of the war is near at hand.
II was planned that the British
should strike from Arras while the
French guns were still roaring their
preparation for infantry hostilities
along wide front farther to the
south.
The successes gained in the first
stages OF the British advance have
given the French great confidence in
the Inauguration Of their own enter
prkes.
The whole struggle In the western
theater promises to be a titanic one.
The allies are prepared as never be-
fore both in material and personnel.
and are cooperating with a smooth
ness which comes from a complete
understanding and thorough appreci-
alton OF the work in hand.
The Germans have more divisions
on the western front than VOID have
been thought possible a year ago, and
however much Of an "easterner" Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg may have
been In the past, he will have to de-
vote his entire time and attention to
western events for some weeks to
come.
Already half a score of Germany'a
best divisions have been smashed to
pieces by the British onslaught and
their own unsuccessful counter attacks.
The Bavarian divisions we're sacrt
feed first, but the Prussian guard d.
visions. thrown In to stem the British
flood tide, have been suffering such
casualties In the last few days that
they will have to be relieved.
The Canadians accounted for q
large contingent Of grenadiers In the
fighting. while the affair at Lagni-
court took its heaviest toll both in
dead and prisoners from five German
regiments.
II will ever be one Of the most strik-
ing pictures Of this war. the rout Of
the Germans at Lagnicourt, after
what they believed to have been sue
cessful attack.

ish In Mesopotamia.

BAD ROADS VERY EXPENSIVE
Estimated Cost of % Cents a Ton Per
Mile on Average HighWay-13
Cents on Improved.

There is no need of discussing the
Importance Of good roads. They are
essential to comfortable travel, to the
economic production and distribution
Of farm products, to the development
especially of satisfactory rural schools,
and to the improvement Of the social
life of the nation. Bad roads are
very expensive possessions. 1t is es-
timated that it costs o cents under e1-
listing conditions to haul a ton a mile
on the average country road and only
13 cents on a properly improved road,
but this is not all the story. The di-
rect cost is very great and the indi-
rect costs are possibly greater. With
bad roads the farmer is compelled to
haul when he should be engaged in
other activities, while with good roads
he can plan his operations without
reference to the weather The states
and the local units, as has been init
mated, have strikingiy recognized these
truths by greatly increasing their ap-
propriations anC by devising better
