turn again ultimately to their COM
mands (say that rather less than
half Of the whole number of casual
ties are dead, disabled or permanent
ly sick). About third of the cas-
ualties will be able to return to the
front before autumn.
But that is the minimum German
expenditure.
Suppose the third phase of the
battle takes the form of deter
mined offensive upon a very large
front with, say, forty divisions, and
suppose that that effort should fail
there will be left to the Germans
no offensive strength with which to
obtain decision. 1t is this which
the enemy has to consider if he at
tempts that gamble.

emys next effort.
It will be remembered that on
Aoril % the enemy suffered a very
yyere check in what might have ap-
rared at the time to be the last of
lis battles along the Lys. He had
already captured Mount KENNEL
with the use of nine divisions,
against four on the Allied side.
This German victory occurred only
four days previous to his heavier
stack on April 20. It gave him an
immediate advantage, and he very
properly pressed it with an extreme
Intensive effort. He attacked on
April 20 with portions of thirteen
divisions, and certainly with the
whole Of eleven divisions, against
seven divisions for the Allies, and he
vas very heavily defeated. He was
thrown back from the sharp and
dangerous advance he had made be.

and in some places to more than a

Mrs. W. P. Wemp, of Alexan-

home was muchly-admired by the
guests, who found it wonderfully
attrac i've with the cool, green
ferns, palms and daisies used so
artistically for decoration.
AS it was the first strictly social
reunion in nearly a year, the
guests thoroughly enjoyed the
game of progressive auction, at
which Mrs. McClung made the
largest score and was presented
with a neat thrift stamp book ac-
count, which served the double
purpose of a prize and patriotic
support of the June drive.
Dainty sandwiches and tea were
enjoyed. and the social intercourse
in welcoming the honoree, who al
ways enjoys coming back to her
old home and friends, made the
relaxation very refreshing.

Miss Vera Chaplin.

| A message from New Orlean
announcing the death of thi
young lady early yesterday morn
ing at the Touro, came as a great
shock to the family, as she was
expected home just about this
time, the doctors having assured
her mother, who WAS in faithful
attendance upon her, that she was
recuperating nicely and could be
brought back home to regain heI
strength.
The deceased was the eldest
child Of Mrs. Loutie and the late
T. z. Chaplin, and an exceptional
young woman in every regard,
Though mora or less of an inva-
lid since her early girlhood, Miss
Viva's wonderful courage, indom.
liable spirit and interest in all her
surroundings was source OF
never-ceasing wonder. An unu-
sually brilliant mind, strength of
character and a sweet and lovable
disposition, marked this Young
lady as one in a thousand. Patient
through all the long years of her
suffering, she rarely comrlained,
but sank all thoughts of self, and
took m active part, when her
strength permitted, in school,
church and civic works, her train
ed mind and rare understanding of
human nature, making her ma
tural leader.
Fragile as a lily, she passed
away, bat her lovely life will
leave a fragrance behind that will
never pass away.

WAR SUMMARY
(By the Associated Prrss)

(By the Associated PresS)
British troops on the front south
west of Ypres have carried out a
successful local attack. The Ger
mans were pushed back east OF
Dickebusch lake. the scene of much
heavy fighting during the repulsc
of German efforts to advance from
KENNEL hill and lost 200 prisoners.
Aerial activity is very marked,
especially on the part of the Ger
mans who announce officially the
bombing of large cities and railway
centers in northern France. This
is the first report of this kind made
by Berlin in several weeks, and
may have been made to counteract
the effect of allied raids on Rhine
cities.
Abbeville and the regions of St
Pol, Doullens, Orepy ell Valois and
Villers- Cotterets have been attack
ed by enemy airmen. All these cit
les are behind the allied lines and
between Ypres and Rheims, hither-
to the main fighting area.
Sixteen German machines have
been accounted for by British air
fighters. On railway lines, trains,
camps and other targets behind the
enemy lines British bombers have
dropped q tons of explosives.
Very heavy artillery firing was
heard in Paris early Monday morn
ing. The eastern skies were lit up
apparently by monster battle OF
the big guns on the fighting front
Artillery bombardments and pa
troll engagements have increased in
the mountain zone OF the Italian
front. There are no signs of ex-
tcnsivc infantry fighting.
In Albania the allied troops con
tinue to advance and Vienna de-
clares they are approaching the new
Austrian line of resistance" which
probably means the Semni river.
French troops in the east rapidly
are clearing up the Devoli and To-
morica valleys. Two towns and an
important hill are included in their
latest captures.
British troops show some signs
of activity near Dorian, Macedonia
but there has been no fighting OF
moment.
Dispatches report that British
troops in northern Russia have oc-
cupied the White Sea port of KEN
west of Archangel and southeast OF
Kola. German and Finnish forces
