 the lecturer.
 MT. Finch was most eloquent and his message w,s one of tine. most in- spring ever heard here. It was a lectureNthat shoul1 be heard all over the country. He showed our boys not only at their amusements but at re- ligious services in vast throngs. The
 theme of the r. M. C. A. work was the
 moral welfare of the soldier who was
 out to whip and to conquer Germany
 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 He sid that religious fervor was
 sweeping ever the camps of the army
 in way that would make the indif- ference of civilians blush. It is impos-
 sible to convey the mass fse of tho speaker in printed words.

The wounded man and his brother were arrested by the officers and are now in jail here charged with the murder of Wood
 It has been alleged for some time that the four Scott brothers, all ex- convicts from Oklahoma, were evad- ing the selective service law, but two of the mwere arrested here several days ago and found to have registra- tion cards. They were released. The other two brothers, with J. H. Benson, a newcomer to this section, were re ported to have stolen some chickens last night from farmhouse near here Constable Horton and eight men went GU luC oCtAe u al1SSt Guo HieH OIl =ludt charge.
 The alleged thieves opened fire on the officers and Jim Wood was killed. Young Ford. 17-year-old boy of this place returned the fire and wounded the elder of the Scott brothers In the side of the face and body with a charge of buckshot Constsble Hor- ton also fired his revolver but missed. The two Scott brothers were arrested by the officer, but Benson escaped and is being sought tonight by a posse
 Officers here do not know whether the men are part of the alleged re- sisters now being sought by posses near Paris, in Logan county. They believe that the Scott brothers prob, ably aided the Logan county fugitives
 Upon arrival here the elder Scott who was wounded, was found to be above draft age and his brother ex- hlbited a registration card which he says was issued to him by his local board. Meanwhile, the two are being held on charge of mursering Jim Wood. Reports that the escaped Ben, son is heavily armed is not generally believed here. Wood is survived by family. .7~s .E.f=

COMBINED OFFENSIVE BEGUN BY
 BRITISH AND FRENCH ON SOMME


 for the Australians, Canadians, Eng lishmen and Frenchmen were attained in remarkably quick time, and at last accounts Thursday night the allied forces were still making progress Wherever the enemy turned to give battle he was decisively defeated. Thousands Captured. Thousands of Germans were made prisoner. Large numbers of guns were captured, great quantities of war materials were taken and score or more of villages and hamlets were re- occupied. In addition, heavy casual ties were inflicted on the enemy. i At its deepest point the penetration of the German line was about seven ] and half miies, eastward from Will lers-Bretondeux to Framerville, while from two to five miles were. gained sll along the front from northwest of Montdidier to the region around Nor lancourt. The fighting extended north of Morlancourt to the Albert sector, but no official details concern ing it have been received.
 Important Railways Taken.
 The advance of the allies in the center places them we'll astride the railroad leading from Breton neux to the important junction at Gho1 inc ;afo eastward toward Peronne and south ward through Hove to Compiegne. l The railway running northward to Brave was crossed when the allies took Framerville
 Well out on tte plsins and press ing forward, seemingly with great rapidity, the present offensive of the French and British gives promise Of seriously menacing the entire German front from near the sea to Rheims If the drive should proceed eastward to- any. great depth, it will affect the armies of the German crown prince, now fighting between the Aisne and the Vesle, and possibly make impracticable stand by them even north of the Aisne along the Chemin des Danes.
 Channel Ports Saee.
 Under the pressure of the offensive. the menace to the channel ports also seems for the moment, at least, to vanish. Already there have been signs to the northward from the positions where Crown Prince Rupprecht had formed his men for drive toward the channel that a retreat by the Ger mans was not improbable With the armies of his imperial cousin on the Soissons- Rheims salient badly shatter- ed and unable to leni him aid when his own forces north of Montdidier are in a rather precarivus position as 2 result of the new offensive, it is ap- parent that Rupprecht will have to aefer his campaign 20 cut off the cross channel service.
 On the Vesle front little fighting occurred Thursday, except in the proc ess Of line strengthening operations on the north bank where, under an almost incessant rain of enemy shells, both the American and the French troops improved their stands. The German guns not alone are playing up- on the allied forces, but also are ham, mering away at bridges across the stream over which men constantly are making their way to the northern bank of the stream to reinforce their comrades already there. What effect the present battle southeast of Amiens is to have on the vesle-Aisne front remains to be seen.

 The historic battle ground Between Amiens and Montdidier again is tne scene of a mighty contest. This time the British and French are the ag- gressors and under their fierce on- slaughts in the first days battle they have penetrated deeply into the German positions over a front of more than 20 miles, reaching from the region of Braches to the neighborhood Of Morlancourt.
