ENEMY COULDN'T BREAK
THE ALLIED LINE

London, May 24.--In many re-
Spccts the German attacks on the
Aisne and its results bear a striking
similarity to the opening of the
German offensive in March. The
present movement, however, differs
in a most vital point, namely that
on this occasion there never has
been, as was the case in March, dan
ger Of the allied line breaking
On the contrary, as soon as it was
found the allies were unable to hold
the crest, orders were given for the
retirement to the Aisne. and the
Anglo-French force made an or
derby retreat in perfect unity.
Points of similarity are that
again the Germans discovered a
weak point in the allied line and at
tackled in superiority of 5 to l.
Gas also again played an important
part, the allied forces being com
PEELED to wear gas masks for hours
at a stretch.

Ten Men Dragged from
Their Homes and Forced
Kneel and Kiss Flag

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Feb. 23-Trouble
bordering on a riot was started at
Nokomis, H., last night when a mob
of "loyalists" visited homes of German
sympathizers to enforce pledges of
loyalty. Ten men were dragged from
their homes and forced to kneel and
kiss the American flag.
A general fight began when a
wealthy German farmer was seized.
He was accused of having made dis
loyal remarks. He was taken to the
postoffice and forced to kiss the flag.
After being released he started to re-
turn home, but as he departed made
some slurring remarks about the men
in the crowd This angered the mob
and a free -for-all fight followed.
In the melee several friends of the
farmer were badly beaten. The farm
er was chased to MS home. taken back
to the postoffice and made to kiss the
flag a second time. This time he de-
parted without making any uncompli-
mentary remarks.
While one section of the mob was
cbastising the alleged pro-German the
other section made roundup of Ger
man homes and forced every known
German sympathiZer to kneel and kiss
the flag. The mob did its work in one
part of the town while the other sec
ton staged a farewell party for draft
ed men soon to go to camp.

To the grown-ups, the death of the

who had found happiness and divers
ion in watching the funny little crea-
lures at the park, it was a real tragedy
when their pets went to the animal

The war has emphasized the big

nothing is a little thing than can make
