of the hogs acts sluggish and keeps away
from the other hogs, hiding in straw
or litter, better have the county agent OF

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

All week on the western front the
allied armies have been steadily ad-
vancing and the enemy retreating. The
English have crossed the Hindenberg
line and are straddling this famous bull
work and are advancing south. taking
everything before them.
The French and American Armies are
working northeast and forcing the Ger
mans back in rapidiretreat. The Ger
mans are giving grounds over the entire
$50 mile front from Yprss to Rheims.
The climax to the German manoeu-
vres along the Vesle eliminated when
the French virtually swept away the
last remaining portion Of the old salient
in the region Of Noyop. and the French
and Americans north Of Soissons and
along the Vesle reached portions domi-
mating the Aisne and the Chemi.des.
Danes, and crossed the north side Of
the Vesle on q front of nearly twenty
miles.
At the rate the things have been pro-
crossing on the western front the last
month, with hundred and fifty thou
sand prisoners taken, thousands Of guns
Of every description and the. destruction
Of enormous quantities Of ammunition,
that the Germans have been obliged to
leave behind, we cannot see but that the
beginning Of the end OF this cruel war is
approaching. Il is claimed by some Of
the prisoners taken that large army
under Won Mackenzen is coming to
stem the western tide, but it seems to
!, ne thstit is rather late in the day when
such heavy losses tsye been inflicted.

When congress passed the Man Act
bill the other day. placing in the avail
able draft thirteen million men to face
the Huns. and with the enormous defeat
of the German army on the western
front the last month, it can be imagined
the CONSERVATION it must have created
in the German capitol. But it is safe to
say that the rank and file of the soldiers
in the trenches do not know yet that
Uncle Sam has his coat off in earnest to
finish the job the. next year.
