 The American attack on Cam tigny sometime ago advanced the line materially at that point. while the Australians and Americans July and cut deeply into the German lines at Hamel and Niilers The French attack was launched at n point between positions of tac Americans mt Cantigny and the Australians further north.
 The French lines south Of Cam tel have been parallel to and west ward of the Avre river. The suc- cess gained there carried the French up to the hills to the west of the river, and into positions which appear to dominate the vil- Iages of MoriseI, on the west bank. and MoreuiI, on the east bank of the river. It the attack should continue indefinitely the French may be able to press the foe back across the Avre and thus have ;-n admirable defensive position to the southeast of Amiens.
 Between the NIarnc and the Aisnc, the French have continued their offensive operations. It is reported that the village of Long pOnt, south of Corey, the capture of which was reported Thursday. has been taken by General Pe- tain's men, who have also made progress north of Corey, at the Chavigny farm. East of FaveroI- lns. according to the French of ficial statement, the allied lines have been advanced, this marking n southerly extension of the fight ing line which has heretofore not been unusually active farther south than Longpont.
 On the British front there has been spirited fighting, according to the German official report, which indicates that from Ypres around the Lys salient and down in the Picardy sector. as far as Albert, there have been scattered attacks made by the British.
 Local engagements have been fought in the region of Rheims. but they have not been of great impor- tancc.
 Ike French md Italians fighting in Albania have carried their lines steadily northward. The town of Berat, the most important point in southern Albania. has fallen into allied hands. 1t is reported large quantities of Austrian supplies stored mt Berat were destroyed by the retreating Austrians.
 Official reports would appear to show the advance of the French and Italians is reaching farther and farther east into the mountains, toward the rear Of the Bulgarian positions around MonHstir. Serbian positions near that city have been snvagely attacked by the Bulga- rinns, who. after gaining n mo- mentary fOOthoId in the Serbian trenches, were driven out.
 There have been local actions in the mountain sectors of the front in northern Italy. one Austrian att tack having been repulsed with heuyy losses.

EUROPE URGES
WAR LEARNING
Keep the Schools Going and
Make Them Better and
More Effective

Washington.-Europe's lesson to
the United States is to keep the
schools going and to make education
during and after the war better and
more effective than 1t has ever been,
according to a broad-side announce
ment entitled "Europe's Education
al Message to America" just issued
by the Interior Department. through
its Bureau of Education. for circula-
ton among mayors. school board
members and other public officials.
This is Frances message, as re-
ported by John H. Finley. Commits
lsloper of Education of New York
| state, in his report on French
schools in wartime:
do not let the needs of the hour.
however demanding. or its burdens,
however heavy. or its perils. how
ever threatening, or its sorrows,
however heartbreaking, make you
unmindful of the defense of to-mor-
row, of those disciplines through
which an efficient democracy is pos
sible, through which the institutions
of civilization can be perpetuated and
strengthened. Conserve, endure tax
alton and privation. suffer and sacri-
flee, to assure to those whom you
have brought into the world that it
shall be not only a safe, but a hap
py place for them"
For England, the Hon. H. A. L.
Fisher. president of the English
Board of Education, who is in charge
of pending educational legislation of
fundamental significance, is quoted:
r "At the beginning of the war,
when first the shortage of labor be-
came apparent, a raid was made
upon the schools, great raid. a
successful raid, a raid started by
a large body of unref1ecting opin-
ion. The result of that raid upon
the schools has been that hundreds
of thouSands of children in this
country have been prematurely
withdrawn from the schools and
have suffered an irreparable dam
age, a damage which 1t will be quite
impossible for us hereafter ade-
quately to repair. That is a very
grave and distressing symptom"
Final place on the broadside Is
given to a report of the English
Committee on Juvenile Education in
Relation to Employment After the
War, which says:
ANY inquiry into education at the
present 1uncture is big with issues OF
national fate. In the great work oi
