WAR SUMMARY

OF which might be selected for
an attack. These sectors are
south of Arras, the northern
and southern legs of the Lys
salient, and south Of the Aisne.
The Germans may, however, at
tempt to surprise the allies by
attacking where they hope they
will not be expected.
Aerial activity is above the
average. Allied bombing squad
rons are active against Ger
man military targets behind the
lines. The British are making
nightly raids into Germany, es-
pecially against manufacturing
and railroad towns between
Metz and the Rhine.
Unsettled conditions in Aus
tria- Hungary may keep the Aus
trians from Immediately resum-
ing the offensive in Italy. The
food situation continues so Sc
rious that reports from Switzer-
land say martial law may be
proclaimed throughout the dual
monarchy.
Reports from Berlin through
neutral countries indicate in
creasing Pan-German anger
against the foreign secretary,
DR.. Won. Kuehlman, for his
speech in the reichstag.

HOME is BIRD FARM
To Be Developed for Home of Wild
Fowl

New Orleans. La, June 2S.-Jef-
ferson Island, former home OF Jo-
seph Jefferson in Iberia Parish
southern Louisiana, and named by
him Bob Acres" after the char
acter in THE Rivals" made famous
on the stage by the actor, is to be
developed into a sanctuary for wild
fowl by Lawrence Jones and J. Lyle
Bayliss OF Lexington, KY. who re-
Gently purchased the property.
1t comprises 10000 acres. A con-
tract has been awarded for the con-
struction of dam along one edge
of the property in order to re-estab-
lish a cypress swamp drained some
years ago. When the water accum-
ulates it is proposed to establish an
immense heronry in order that the
many species of herons in Louisiana,
especially the egret, may build nests
and raise their young over water, as
is their habit.
In addition, the new owners OF
Bob Acres have petitioned the
Louisiana Conservation Commits
sion to set aside Lake Peigneu, ad-
joining the property, as wild water
fowl refuge The lake is a noted re-
sort for ducks during the winter
months and they flock there by the
hundreds of thousands.
More than one-third OF the land
embracing Lake Piegneu is included
in Bob Acres" and owners of other
property adjoining have signihed
their desire to prohibit the shooting
of wild fowl on the body of water.
Under authority granted by the
state, the conservation commission
will prohibit shooting when a petit
ton signed by all adjoining prop
erty owners is received and estab-
Iish il as the first of a series of in
terror refugees planned during the
coming year. i

There are yet no outward in
dications as to when and where
the German command will
launch its next stroke against
the allied lines. The fighting
lull on the western front con-
tinues with only raids and local
attacks, while on the Italian
front the Austrians, reeling
from the shock OF the repulse
on the Piave, seemingly are con-
tent to allow the Italians to
have the initiative.
1t is two weeks since the
German crown prince ceased
his Intellectual efforts to reach
Compeigne, and the breathing
space, which has been longer
than between the offensive
across the Aisne and that on the
Noyon- Montdidier front. has
been sufficient to permit the
Germans TO prepare fully for
renewal of the offensive. Allied
capitals look for another enemy
blow very soon. Military OBJ
servers believe it will come on
the front between Montdidier
and Ypres.

German artillery fire has been
