EARLY SUMMARY SAYS
GERMANS SUFFERED HEAVILY

Gains by the armies Of the German
crown prince on the Aisne front have
been balanced in part by the sangui-
nary repulses OF further attempts to
push forward southwest of Ypres. In
prepared second line positions along
the Aisne the Franco-BritiSh forces are
offering strong resistance to the Ger
mans who are pressing on to cross the
river, while In Flanders the French
confidently await renewed enemy at
tacks. Although the Germans attacked
on the southern flank on front or
thirty-five miles in greater strength, 1t
is not yet clear what is behind the OPP
Grafton. Probably several days will
pass before the situation Is defined
clearly. Two possibilities stand out
that the Germans felt 1t necessary to
widen the elbow about Montdidier or
that it was feared General Foch might
begin a counter offensive toward Loan.
Nor is 1t unlikely that the attacks on
the extremities of the nearly 200 mile
line are feints for a stupendous move
ment toward Amiens.
In gaining the heights north of the
Aisne and the famous Chemin des
Danes, the Germans suffered most
heavily. The region over which they
most battle-scarred in France. II the
crown prince hoped to crush the
French and separate them from the
British at Berry au BAG, he failed, as
contact between the allied forces has
been maintained throughout the fight
Ing. How far the Germans advanced on
the evtreme. ends Of the new fighting
front is not defined clearly, but in the
center they reached the region north
of Pont Arcy, on the Aisne, a four-mile
advance.
Along the six-mile front from Locre
to Voormezeele, on the Flanders battle
field. the French hurled the enen
back with great losses and still no
tenaciously to the positions protecting
the ridge running westward from Mont
KENNEL. Near Voormezeele, where tn
French have taken over the line from
the British, heavy fighting continues
around Dickebusch lake, where the
Germans penetpated the allied line.
Meanwhile there is very intense artiI-
iery fire from north of the Somme TO
the Avre In Picardy The Germans
have made no attacks here except for
strong raids against the allied lines, es-
pecially the American sector west of
Montdidier. The Americans threw back
the Germans in a counter-attack after
fighting in which the enemy suffered
severe losses and prisoners were taken
by the Americans.
Renewal Of heavy fighting IN north
ern France Is coincident with the sue
cessful italian thrust against the Aus
tro-Hungarian positions in the noun
tains OF the Western Trentino. In adj
dition to gaining important height po-
sitions, the Italians captured nearly 900
prisoners and much war material. AuS.
TRAN attacks south Of Asiago have been
repulsed by the Italians. Elsewhere on
the front from St. Elvio to the Adriatic
there has been little activity.

Drive Heard Here

drive in Pensacola, DR.. ]. NJ. Johnson.
of Washington, D. c., last night In the
auditorium OF the San Carlos hotel,
spoke to an appreciative audience for
more than an hour upon the great Eu-
ropean war and what the people al
home must do for our soldiers VINO
are now in the struggle and for those
wko are to go. Throughout MS talk
Dr. Johnson illustrated his points upon
a blackboard showing where the mino'
the heart and the will must be put into
the fight to win the war.
DR.. Johnson emphasized the fact tnat

ter we will not be successful. Pictur-
ing this he showed the boy who plant
ed to raise a sweet potato. He paid no
more attention TO it and the result was
a diminutive specimen. The little girl
PLANTED and cultivated her potato and
it grew TO be big one.
The speaker then dwelt upon the
raising Of hogs and from the two po-
tetoes he had drawn on the blackboard
~ 4 few strokes OF the chalk he trans
formed the small potato into razor
l.ack hog and the larger into a fat
Yorker.
pr Johnson said there were 33,000,-
coo soldiers we will have to feed and
that we must do without many things.
He showed where millions OF dollars
We're spent uselessly.
Dr Johnson declared President Will

marks he broke the chain.

,Chemin des Danes and forcing the
hsne crossings, it seems probable Lnat
the former opinion will gain strength
and that a determined following up OF
the enemy effort, in the shape of a
drive for Paris will be looked for.
General Foch's strategy is counted
upon to employ the vast effective forces
at his command so as to counter the
Germans effectively when they have
fully developed their purpose, which
ever way the attack may trend.

SPECIAL NOTICE

The editor of THE Blade" will
be in position to ship three thou
sand Colored people from the
South into the Eastern, Northern
and Western cities. The war has
been the means of thousands of
doors being opened to Black men
and women which heretofore have
been closed, and they are getting
the same wages that the white
man has received. Hundreds of
factories now are employing Col
ored men and women on salaries
ranging from $3.50, $3.50, $500
and $3.50 per day. The proprie-
tors of these large institutions tell
us that these Colored men and wo-
men are making good, and they
could use a hundred more daily.

SPANISH INFLUENZA"

Large sections of the country
appear to be in the grip of Span
ish influenza, an epidemic closely
related to La Grippe. According
to DR.. c. A. Harper of the state
board of health it is a common
influenza in bad form, the term
Spanish being only nickname
applied because of the epidemic
spreading of the disease in Spain
last summer. The disease is very
contagious and has tendency to
develop into pneumonia. Most of
the military training camps in the
United States have been affected
by this influenza, the number of
cases since September l, totalling
far above 100000. The death
rate in camps on account of pneu-
monia has been abnormally high.
Situation in Madison
Friday morning it was reported
that $50 or more students of the
S. A. T. G. at the Madison univer-
sity had fallen sick with Spanish
influenza. The home of the Uni
versity club and other buildings
were turned into infrmaries and
the patients treated there. Uni
versity officials discredit the state
ment that the new disease has
gained a foothold among the stu
dents. They claim that not a sin
gle case has been discovered, al

AN APPEAL
BELOIT, WIS.

Leyzore johnson, a child six years
Of age, was recently criminally as
saulted and outrageously abused by
one, Frank Saladino, a young Itali-
an. September 10th the case was call
ed in the Municipal court and for some
reason unexplained at present the &C
cused was permitted to go and the
case apparently abandoned by the au-
thorities. 1t would seem that this is
a fit case for the serious consideration
Of all believers Of justice and the due
administration Of the law. Private
counsel has been employed and money
is needed to defray expenses.
Now, I, as president of the Coop
erative Development and Progressive
Association Of the State of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby call upon every men,
Der of said association and all believ-
ers in fair play and justice to con-
tribute to this expense as it is now i'm
possible to say to what ends it may be
necessary to go TO secure the proper
administration Of the law in respect
to this foul crime.
Contributions may be sent to Miss

alton, at 1T North Washington St.,
