Just a word to the farmers of Bear
Greek section. Whereas the price Of
everything raised on the farm is eX-
brilliantly high, it becomes necessary
for us to raise more foodstuffs than
we have heretofore. The provisions
that we have been getting from the
West will now be used to maintain an
army. If there should be a surplus
yhe goods will be so high that you
can't afford to buy them. 1t is no.
Impossible for us to be agriculturally
| Independent, because we can raise
nearly everything we need right mere
on our own soil. Why pay the other
man high prices for things we can
raise ourselves?
Let it be resolved that we will plant
enough corn, hay, beans, sweet po-
tatoes, sorghum, keep a milk COW
and at least few hogs and chick
ems to furnish meat for the family
and if possible some to sell. We are
expecting Major Tiller in this section
this week and he will be glad to give
you any information he can along
this line.

Trench Warfare Giving Place To
Open Fighting; Welcomed By British

striking commentary that when the
war began the oh,ccr in command Of
the British unit was a young solicitor
and such thing as leading soldiers
in battle had never entered his head
Two years of training in the school
of actual war works its own wonders.
, The losses in the recently inaugural
ed operations, which continue to
widen with time, have been so much
smaller than would be naturally ex-
| pcctcd in attacks upon such strong
positions as those from which the
Germans have been driven that the
army authorities arc fairly jubilant.
Another gratfyin feature of the
fighting has been the speed with which
the British troops have everywhere
attained their objective. Driving the
G"rmarS from positions which they
had held for two years has given the
army higher fighting spirit than it
ever had before
The turning Of the top Of the Hin
dcnburg line, to which attention now
IS officially called in the communicates,
has been an achievement of which the
full Importance has naturally not yet
been developed. The Germans, w
the way. no longer call this line af-
ter Hindenburg, but know it as the
Sicgtred line. The switch to that
line from Qucant north, which pris-
oncrs say is not yet finished and was
not expected to be used except as a
last resort, known as the Wotan line.

From Staff & respondent of the
Associated Press British Headqua:-
lcrS in France t.ia London), April
l4.-It is not without difficulty that
one comes to realization that semi
deep trench fighting on the greater
part of the British front.
1t is difficult even for the fighting
men actually to grasp the situation, a
situation for which they have waited
so long. The Germans possibly feel
the change more, for above ali things
they love their underground comfort.
The Germans were the first to trans
fer fighting to bitches and they are re
luctantly giving up that style of war
fare.
Germans Like Trenches.
The deep concealed dugouts AMI
tunnels along the old front were tn"
only protection the Germans had
against the cvcr-incrcaSinr British

opportunity now they imm mediately be-

sent to the University within the
next ten days.
Among the students now in train
ing at Washington and Lee is in
cluded volunteer ambulance corps
of SO men, who are also attending
lectures and clinics on anatomy. This
corps also plans to raise subscrip-
ton for at least one ambulance Of
its own. A number of students and
professors are preparing themselves
to render service to the government
along scientific lines, while faculty
committees appointed by President
Henry Louis Smith are preparing sur

ing their ability and training for pos
sible service. The executive com.
mittoe of the board of trustees has
offered the government the use OF
