thereof.

General Pershing today reported

Except in Italian theater military
activities are still confined to small
affairs carried out by raiding parties
and bombardments on various sectors.
Austro-G Germans both in the mountain
region Of northern Italy and around
lower Piave river have made vicious
counter attacks, after heavy prepare
tory artillery work to %recapture po-
sitions wrested from them early in the
week. All attempts were without
avail.
Again there has been considerable
aerial activity in Italian region in
which five enemy airplanes were sent
to ~earth-four by British and Italian
aviators and other by anti-aircraft
batteries.
Only eight British merchantmen
were sunk by mines or submarines
last week. These figures by British

There was no definite word either

Military operations are ~increasing

as compared with past few weeks.
Allied Warships have bombarded Ger

northern Belgian coast, while around
Ypres. between Lens and st. Quentin,
on Chemin Des Danes, on st. Mihiel
sector and north Of Rhine-Marne ca.
nal, there has been a notable increase
in operations by infantry. Probable
ties are that with the return of good
weather expected big battles may take
place. one indication of probable
early commencement Of fighting is r.
sumption Of aerial activity on a larse
scale, especially on French front. Sat
urday French airmen had a good day
operating against the Teutons, sending
down eight enemy machines in fights
in air.
On Italian front fighting again has

a lie is the truth The following story
illustrates that paradox:
In Oregon there are many sloughs
of mud or quicllsand which are diff
cult and dangerous to cross. A Ger.
tain Methodist missionary in that
state. in the course of his travels, came
to a slough which looked so formi-
dable that he called IL boy. who was
chopping wood ON the other side, and
said:
boy, is that a safe slough to CROSSE"
-Oh, yes"
HAS it good hard bottom?'
*Oh. yes" said the boy.
The man started to cross; his horse
mired. and he had to dislnount and
wade out. Naturally lie was angry.
"Why did you lie to meg" he demand
