Let it be remembered, however, that
this nation is putting premium on

Where husband and wife can earn
five dollars or six dollars day be-

val Of child would cut the income in

HUNS THROWN BACK
With Heavy Loss BY French Troops
Desperate Efforts to Open Road to
Amiens Result in Disaster
For Germans.

With the French Army in France,
Monday April 1.-The Germans con-
tinued their desperate efforts today
to open a road toward Amiens, their
objective since the starting of the
battle, but they made little, II any,
progress. In fact, the Entente allied
troops were able to recapture the
town of Hangard en- Santerre. Most
of the enemy forces were hurled in
the course of the day, on the British,
the French lines yon the left being
more or less quiet.
The first German guard division
yesterday suffered a most severe de-
feat at Grisvenes. At 11:20 o'clock
in the morning, the guards attacked
with the greatest fury. After hours
of the closest fighting they succeeded
in getting footing in the village.
Two hours later the guards were
elected pell nell by a magnificent
counter attack at the point of the
bayonet
This was not the end, however, the
German came back again time after
time, preceded by heavy artillery
barrage In the grounds of Girls
vesnes Castle, the Frenchmen went to
meet them and fought them back with
bayonets and rifle butts. making them
retreat in disorder under a grilling
fire from automatic rifles, mounted on
armored motor cars.
Once more this morning, the guards,
not satisfied with their defeat yester-
day, returned to the assault, but their
attack was in vain and the enemy had
to seek shelter in his positions, leav-
ing the French the masters of the sit
uation.
In their great race to attain the
communications connecting the north
and south at Amiens, the Germans
had the advantage of knowing ex-
actly where they were going, and
when the British and French troops
retired before the immense volume of
German troops, the enemy again was
favorably placed for rushing rein
forcements from one part of the line
to another owing to the fact that he
occupied the interior line of a semi
circle in which the battle was being
fought.

BOOHOO!

'Tis very sad that Hindenburg was
not allowed to dine
At Paris as he'd set his heart, on truf-
fies, chops and wine;
g Patisserie he dearly loves and French
cuisine, um, yum!
Pate de fois and pomme de terre and
cafe noir and rum
But by unseemly accident, though
hungry and athirst.
He couldn't keep that dinner date
he'd set for April first.
Tis very hard he has to fight, when
thus of food debating,
'Tis most unkind to block his plans,
'tis rude to keep him waiting;
'Tis most un-Prussian-like to treat a
Prussian like a wop,
To tell a generalismo, l say, heraus,
old top,
And he with such an aching void and
such Gargantain thirst,
Tis sad he missed that dinner date
