TNHE Down Stairs
4 Store is hum
ming and thrum-
ming with activity,
these days.
You would call them
out-and-out Spring days
if you were here all day
in the Store. Come to
the Store for one hour,
if you cannot come for
all day, and you will see
and hear almost nothing
but Spring, Spring,
Spring.
Enough to lift up
your heart, if it was be-
ginning to be "sick with
signing, signing for the
May, and to make you
realize that the advent
of Spring need not be
left wholly to the rigid
hair-splittings of the
calendar or the incor-
rigible caprices of
Nature.
Spring can be coaxed
along earlier by a blithe
heart.
Some hearts b e at
more blithely under a
new frock than under
an old one which has
been worn all Winter.
Can you blame them?
We don't. Especially
as we see all the new
frocks as they pour into
the Store, and know
how pretty they are, in
their crisp newness and
their revelations of the
fresh ideas of the ad-
vance Spring styles.
TN greater and great
i er quantity, and in
more interesting var
iety, they are arriving
every day.
And we have seen to
it that the prices need
scare nobody. That is
the speciality of the
Down Stairs Storel
No one can fail to be
attracted by the charm
ing simplicity of style
and splendid valu e
shown in a group of
black-and-gray taffeta
dresses at S8.75, with
their nice touches of sill
yer embroidery a n d
Georgette collars.
Another effective and
becoming frock is made
of the fashionable,
bright-striped satin, in
the popular surplice
style, with box-pleated
skirt. Price only S10.75.
Especially becoming
to young women are the
smart hustle effects. A
lovely new Sprin g
model, at $15, is slade
of navy blue taffeta,
and has a rose-colored
vestee and collar edged
with a tiny ruffie.
Still another stun
ming new creation, at
SIS, in the hustle effect,
is of silver-gray taffeta,
trimmed with clusters
of small buttons cover
ed in kings blue. The
handsome buckle on the
belt is another pleasing
touch. This dress also
comes in navy blue and
sand-color and in sand

, repeated this performance at other
places in the line where the stub
born Boches held out courageously
But their courage ayailed them moth
ing in the face of the great tanks
dipping in and out of shell ho.es and
across old trenches that have seen
some of the wars fiercest fighting
and the smaller whippet tanks and ar
mored cars which sped over the
ground at great rate,
In comparison with the harder
lighting it is worthy OF mention that
lat some place no resistance of any
practical importance developed Foi
instance the village of Beaucourt was
taken with only three casualties. One
wounded man returning from the
fighting said he went three kilometees
through the enemy lines before seeing
a single Boche But this Ii explained
by the fact that the German positions
were very thinly held at some points
Logeast woods was one of the most
strongly held positions in the fore
ground and this was reached early in
the day
AS to prisoners, there Is no definite
information but more than one thou

have come in from a considerable dis

tured during the early fighting. Some
cf the first prisoners arrived ct the

as il going on leave
A wounded British soldier told OF

other groups. One said that, plungiug
through the fog he ran directly into a
German machine gun which opened
fire on him. II managed to get in one
shot taking Off a finger before he ana
his comrades finished it off with their

In the early afternoon the fog

the fog disappeared the roar of aero

pursuing harassing attacks at the eAe-
my rear and strafing the enemy troops
generally upsetting them completely
at many places The fast little whip-

gone out into the wide world. and
there is no doubt that they are exact

cars had gone into action also, operat-
ing far forward, chasing the B0che

The advancing troops did pot stop
at their early detectives. Several for
nations joined forces and pressed on
together. The battle continues with
undated fury and there is no sign
that it's conclusion is near.

GERMAN FRONT MENACED
FROM YpUES TO SOISSONS
Both Field Marshal Haie and General
Mangin Have Pushed Their Lines
Forward for important Gains All
Along the Line Which Will Force
a Reaienment of German Army.
lBy tho Associated Pressl

tBy the Associated Prcss)
The tide Of defeat still surges heav-
lily against the German armies in
France and Flanders. On four i'm
portant sectors French and British
arms again have been served and the
entire German front from Ypres, in
Belgium to scissors on the Aisne,
, now Is more seriously menaced than
Jefore French troops of General
Mangin. operating from the region
two miles northwest of Soissons To
the Disc river and those of General
fIumbert, fighting between the Disc
and the Matz have materially pushed
forward their fronts, bringing them to
positions which threaten to compel
the immediate evacuation of the en-
tire Somme- Disc salient from Braye
tC lNoyon.
Further to the north between Albert
and Arras, Field Marshal 4iaig has
followed up his successes of previous
days by new offensive over a front
OF about ten miles and driven forward
his troops for splendid gains over the
entire line, capturing a number of VII
lagos, taking prisoners and guns and
inflicting heavy casualties on the en-
emy
Still farther north, in the famous
Lys sector general eastward ad
vance on a front Of more than four
miles has been made by the British
who have brought their positions ap-
preciably nearer the old 1916 battle
line running east of Armentieres,
Numerous additional villages have
peen liberated by the French north
west of scissors and positions have
been captured on both sides of the
Oise river which seemingly make un-
tena0le for occupation 10y the enemy
the important town Of Noyon, which
Is new outfanked on the southeast
and dominated by the French guns
from the south and west. On the
south the French are standing in
Sempeisny, a mile and a half distant
while on the west they have captured
the important pivotal town Of Las
signy, the key position to Noyon and
the plains to the north.
With the latest advances by the
French east Of the Disc there has
come under the range of General
Mangins guns the broad suage rail-
way line leading from Noyon east
ward to LaFere-the sole remaining
line. except for two narrow gauge
roads, over which the enemy may
transport his men and supplies be-
yond the range Of the French artii-
iery.
AT last accounts Haig was still
. eessing forward on the heels of the
Germans near Arras with tanks in
mum cradle clearing the way for the
infantry and machine guns and the
field artiltry which was keeping close
up to the advance.
The Arras Albert railway already
has been crossed by the British east
OF Boisleux-S st. Marc and Mercatel,
and south of these towns the new
line has been pressed eastward in
conformity.

have delivered a violent counter at
tack in an endeavor to recoup in part
the losses they have sustained.
