FRENCH MAKE DRIVE
INTO GERMAN LINES

. Slowly assuming the shape of a
giant ploughshare, the German drive
in Picardy has come almost to halt
except at the very tip Of the salient
driven into the lines of the entente
allies. AS this area covered by the
Teutonic offensive stands now, it runs,
on the south, in an almost straight line
from Landricourt. on the old "Hinden-
burg hne," to Montdidier. we'll behind
the allied positions as they stood in
1916.
Savage fighting has taken place on
the French part Of the line. The Ger
man attempts to advance on the ex-
IRENE tip OF the salient driven into the
French positions have been fruitless
and they have been driven back at the
point of the bayonet. The British on
the front north of the Scarpe auso
have repulsed the enemy, but south
Of this river they have been forced to
retire.
From Montdidier the line to the
northeast runs with sharp angle to
warvillers and there it turns north
ward and passes along the Somme
river to above Albert, where it again
turns to the northeast until it joins
the old lines held by the contend
ing armies on the morning of March

POWER OF JOY RULES WORLD
Should Never BE Reecrted to In
Correcting Unruly Children.

A woman is lecturing in the East
on '"The Influence of joy 1t Is also
an attack on the influence Of pain,
which parents so much resort to IN
the management of children. She de-
clares, according to the Ohio State
Journal, that pain should never be re-
sorted to to make children good, and,
hence, she advises that all spankings
and whippings should be eliminated.
There is nothing in pain to recon
struct child. Joy is the only medium
that should be used. Make a child
happy, instead of sad, is the gospel
of child training. The power that
lived, moved and ruled the world, she
said, was the power Of joy; and this
was the influence the parent should
use in training the child. This is not
the way of parents. The rule is to
whip the child to make him good. It
cannot result that way. A kind word
and a gentle association are far more
powerful than a rod OR any other
method for producing sorrow or pain.
The other day we heard mother
shout to a little boy: "Tll skin you
alive!" That is enough to make a
worse boy out of a bad one.
The mild power Wits is an old
adage and every parent should take
it to heart.

STORMS AND FOREST TREES
Timber Most Firmly Rooted VIII En-
dure Strain Utter Than That OF
Strongest Wood.

It is always interesting to watch
the effect of storms anywhere, but In
the woods these effects are most va
ried and remarkable, says a writer.
It frequently happens that a tor
nado or hurricane will follow a GER
tain course and level only the trees
in this line, often leaping from place
to place. In such cases all trees In
its swath suffer or are blown down
but where there Is general very high
wind and all trees are hit with about
the same force it may be noted that
the best rooted ones and not those Of
the strongest wood survive.
Wind resistance Of the whole tree
has also something to do with the
bending character of the trunk and
branches, for where these give before
the force of the storm they permit the
wind to slide off. The hickory, above
all, will not yield, and consequently
receives the hardest strain against it's
entire top, whether full leaved or bare.
It. may be commonly noticed that in
q mixed woodland, where hard wind
has driven, there are more hickories
down than any other trees.

GREAT OFFENSIVE
FAST DIMINISHING.
THE BRITISH REGAIN GROUND
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
SOMME RIVER.
GERMAN CASUALTIES 100000
British Have RepuIsed Heavy Attacks
and Driven Germans Back Across
the Ancre River.

The stretch of the great German
offensive in France apparently is fast
diminishing. On the seventh day of
the titanic battle there were strong
indications that the enemy was feel
ing materially the strain he had un-
dergOne and that his power had been
greatly impaired through hard usage.
While the town of Albert has been
captured from the British and west
OF Roye the French have been COM
PEELED to give ground in the face of
greatly superior numbers, the British
have repulsed heavy attacks, both
north and south of the Somme and
also driven back across the Ancre
river the Germans who forded the
stream. The fighting still continues
. OF sanguinary character on all these
sectors, but everywhere the British
and French are holding the enemy.
Especially severe has been the fight
ing west of Albert where the Ger
mans, in an endeavor to debOuch west
ward were repulsed by Field Marshal
Haig's men with the heaviest casual
ties.
< The British gains between the
Somme and Ancre regions are repre-
scented by the reeapture of the town
of Morlancourt and Chipilly. South
of the Somme they have advanced to
Bray.
All along the 50-mile front, from
the region of Arras to the south Of
the Disc, near Noyon, the effects of
what was to have been the final stroke
to end the war in a victory for the
Teutons are only too plainly evident
ingthe redevastation of the country
side and the wreck and ruin Of the
towns, villages and hamlets through
which the armies have passed.
About Is miles represents the great
est point of penetration made at any
place by the enemy in his advance,
and on the northern and southern ends
Of. the big salient he has left his
TANKS dangerously open to counter
attacks, which, if successful, possibly
might result in a retreat greater than
the 1916 retrograde movement of Won
Hindenburg and nullify in it's entirety
the drive that has been accomplished.
It is not improbable that British and
French reserves. and possibly Ameri-
cam troops, known to be behind the
battle front soon will be thrown
against the weakened enemy.
Notwithstanding the strength of the
German drive, nowhere has the Brit
ish or French front, along the latter
of which American troops have given
a good account of their ability as fight
ers, been even denied. Ground has
been given, it is true. but so skillfully
and with such precision of movement
that from north to south surveyor
scarcely could have worked out a
more even line. Still intact in the
hands of the allied forces are portions
of the old line from which linden
burg fell back in his strategic" re-
tirement in 1916.
