GERMAN OFFENSIVE OF 1918

The 1918 offensive of the German
army, carefully planned in Berlin, was
intended to overcome the Allies be-
fore America could bring over any
effective number of her troops. The
successive German drives, which be-
gan March 21st, have now become his
tory. We cannot think of them with
out seeing the German divisions sent
forward, close packed, wave succeed
ing wave, upon the Allied positions.
In the drives, we know, The Germans
were utterly regardless of life, and
as their men fell others were advanced
to take their places.
To meet these various drives the
Allies under General Foch adopted the
tactics of slow and cautious retreat,
giving up one position after another
to the German assaults, with as much
conservation of men and supplies as
possible. The period has been one Of
intense anxiety for all ths allied coun-
tries. From day 10 day there was no
certainly that the allied line would
hold.
General Foch was playing wait
irg game, realizing that every day
that passed without absolute defeat
tended tc strengthen the allied cause.
America was enlarging her transpor-
tation facilities and increasing the
troops she poured across the Atlantic.
244,000 men crossed in May, 250,000
in June, each unit bolstering up the
allied reserves.
| At last in the July drive General
Foch felt himself strong enough 10
inaugurate a policy of counter-attack,
The German crown prince threw his
| forces forward in salient across the
Marne. Successive French-American
attacks imperiled the position of The
German army and brought about its
retreat.
We now have the picture Of the ta-
bles turned-the Germans in full re-
treat, with tremendous losses of mer
and artillery, the French and Ameri.
cans in pursuit. The French, though
war-woril, have not lost an iota Of
their spirit, and their courage is buoy.

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ALL YOU
 HEAR

Some of the Americans now in Eu- rope are unintentionally hindering our work in food-saving by sending to this country near-facts and incidents which seem to show that the allied Nations are not short of food.
 The American visitor in Paris is of ten able to get pastries and other dainties, and the American soldier writes home about the hospitality of French people. Neither of them under stand that the French are putting their best foot forward to show their appre- citation of Americans, and that the few frills on Parisian life in the way of pastry for the Americans count neither one way nor the other in the great food problem of France.
 If the American visitors and sold iers could see how the rank and file of the French people live they would write home very different kind of a story.

A PET SHEEP INSTEAD OF A DOG.

L.
 Tax records in one county of Kan sas show that it has a population of 5000 dogs. County Farm Agent A. D.. Poker estimates that these dogs con- sume enough food each day to feed 1000 Belgian orphans, or $34 a year per dog The county has only 2,000 sheep. A sheep can be raised for the cost of dog. It is just as good pet as a dog, and will yield $5 worth of wool yearly and $10 worth of meat when killed, as against merely nonii- nal killing value on dogs in case their hides are turned into gloves. MT. Folk CT uses these striking figures as a plea for fewer dogs and more sheep, and believes that the replacement of these dogs with sheep would save $18,- 900 worth of food per year for that county alone. He fayors a Federal tax on dogs of $1 to $10 according to breed and usefulness. This would yield a considerable amount in Arkan- sas even though they are mostly ST dogs. Give us the tax anyway.

FIVE KILLED b
GERMAN TRICK
Call "kamerad" and Then
Fire on Small Patrol in
No Mans Land.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Feb. 11.-Five American
soldiers were killed, four are missing
and one was wounded when an Amer
lean patrol was ambushed in No Mans
Land Friday night by superior force
of Germans.
Saturday night one American artil-
leryman was killed and five were
wounded by shellfire.
The spot where Fridays fight oc-
Cured is an isolated one.
Our artillery imme ediately laid bar
rage around the ambushing Germans
and yells from the enemy as the bar
rage fell testified to the accuracy OF
the aim.
One of the American patrols, con-
sisting of fourteen men. went out to in
spect the wire. The men were NOV
ing cautiously along when the leader
heard suspicious noises ahead. The
formation of the patrol was changed,
when suddenly according to the sur
vivors, they found themselves sur
rounded by large numbers of the en-
emy.
A German cried "Kamerad," and
then hurled a hand grenade. The
American infantrymen opened fire with
the rifles and pistols and hurled their
grenades. The Germans followed suit
and also brought into action their
automatics.
The fight lasted only about min
ute and half. the Germans all the
while yelling, "Kamerad." They then
retreated. taking with them four Amer
leans and leaving behind four dead
and two wounded.

that time $170 has been received by
Mrs. A. Clayton Clark, chairman of
the Junior Red Cross committee, who
states that she feels there is at least
one other five dollar bill on the way.
Seventy five dollars Is still needed,
however, In order that the Junior Red
Cross may have sufficient funds with
, which to carry on It's great work for
the next six months.
The committee feels that the rest
of the money can be secured in a
manner similar to that of the first
$170 without making necessary a
away with the proposition of asking
the public to buy tickets for some
benefit entertainment
Headquarters requires that $3.50 be
raised In order that the work of the
Junior Red Cross may be carried out
to the letter. Another urgent re-
quest is made of the public to see
that Perth Amboy shall again live up
to the record of past performances
and report the $3.50 raised.
