GERMANS LAUNCH BIG OFFENSIVE AGAINST
THE BRITISH ARMY ON WESTERN FRONT
Germans Gain Ground but Pay Tremendous Price in
Blood-Estimated that 250OOO Lives Have Been
Sacrificed in Supreme Effort to Break
Through British Front

The much heralded German offensive began in real
earnest last Thursday The Germans launched the attack

the BRUSH retaated with machine gun fire. There has
been terrible sacrifice of life both sides and it is est
mated that 25O,0OO men have been killed. The casualties
the attacking forces always greater than those of
the defensive and consequently the German losses have
been much heavier The Germans making their drive
toward Pars but 1t is the opinion of military experts that
II the German army should succeed in breaking the British

owing to the great distance from their base of supplies
The people in France and England are expressing the
greatest confidence IN the Allied armies repuse the
Germans on great counter when the strength of
the German army has spent itself in series of attacks
on the Allied lines that will necessarily cost the Germans
thousands OF men, quiet calm prevails throughout the
two nations and there be abiding faith in the
ultimate triumph of the Allied armies It is the greatest
battle in the history of the world and the opinion is freely
expressed that it marks the beginning of the end of the
great worldwide conflict.
The German Emporer has been in personal command

this supreme effort to break through and deoraze the

army.
The situation is not alarming but it is critical Even
the Germans should break through the Allied lines and
reach Paris and then the coast is not key that

YOUR RED CROSS
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
An Army Wifhoat a Gun
OF the Viailantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness in Civil War
days. the Red Cross surpasses it UNNECESSARILY not
only in the range and variety of its effort, but IN
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is, we may say, the arms of the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army withom gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to war with spirit of hopefulness because
know that this great agency of humanity presses
close behind them; that its work is not incidental
but the intelligent directed effort of one of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross: we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds, again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again For this is war for
the defense of civilization and we of great free,
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.

HOME FOLK OBJECT
TO FOES FUNERAL

LONDON, May 31-Baron Richthof-
ems military funeral behind the British
lines and the tribute which British
armies accorded their dead nemesis
have aroused some sentiment in Eng
land
Although Richthofen is regarded as
having been a gallant enemy and a
courageous fighter this Discrimination
to honor the enemy, even in death, is
more emphatic in his case than it has
been in the cases of others just be-
cause Richthofen's career and death
were unusually spectacular. His fun
eral thus attracted more attention
than the usual burial of a fallen en-
envy airman, and the consequent OBJ
ection is in proportion.
IF the Germans were gallant adj
versaries and gentlemen we wouldn't
be fighting them" says one critic. 1--WE

The Germans are not gallant adver-
saries Frightfulness is their wapon.
Lying in the inspirations of their di-
plomacy We are fighting them be-
cause they are not gentlement.
Are we to waste our tears on the
individuals who perish in trying TO

II Richthofen's successor is brought
down he probably will have the same
honors that the dead German ace has
received, because the soldier in the
field is the man who accords the hon
ors while the critic at home merely
makes suggestions. 1t has happened

Once some dead German sailors
were brought ashore after fight with
some British destroyers. The were
buried with honors, and wreath from
a British admiral called them

was some indignation in England, but
it got nowhere
Richthofen was buried with the hon
ors that the men who had fought him
chose to accord to him.

Airplane Euulnmens.

There are several kinds of airplaneS
used in the military service and their
equipment varies according to whether
they are intended chiefly for scouting.
for bomb dropping or for gun fighting.
On NEST of the machines of the last
named or battleship type, machine
gun is so fitted as to point along the
axis of the machine. The pilot, who
is alone, directs the nose Of his air
plane at the enemy and fires across the
propeller. Two plans. were tried for
preventing the propeller from being
broken by the bullets. The first con-
sisted of stopping the machine gun
whenever the propeller came within
the field of fire, but experience showed
that frequent stopping of the gun with
the propellers making 1,200 revolutions
minute ends IN putting the gun out
Of order. Designers then placed steel
plates on those parts of the propellers
likely to be struck and these plates
,urn the bullets that strike the pro-
,eller. It is matheinatically calculated
that only one bullet in 18 is wasted in
his way.

stranger than fiction, brought about
by the war.
Sometimes these are happy, mOre
often tragic. Strangely enough, it is
the tragic story which is frequently
the more interesting.
One of the most remarkable in th.a
category concerns two young soldiers
who recently made the supreme sac
rifice. They were Lance Corporal vii,
liam Roe and Lance Corporal George
Roe. Both were Englishmen, but ma
tives of widely separated parts, and
In no way related to each other.
Bearing the same surname, the lads
were twenty years of age. Each
worked for cooperative society,
and was. called to the colors on the
same day. They were drafted to the
same unit, became great chums, and
received their first stripe together
After going to the front they were
buried by the same shell, but came out
unharmed. A couple Of months later
this experience was repeated, but, un
fortunately with less happy results
The lads were killed at the same mo
ment.-Montreal Herald.

the best tests of vitality and vigor.
Susceptibility to such changes shows
lack of robustness of constitution
and a poor circulation of blood, and
birds that are seriously affected by
sudden changes of temperature should
not be retained for breeders or have
place in the flock which is expected
to produce winter eggs.
Causes of Weaknesses.
4. This is true if the fault is with the
birds themselves and not with the
poultry keeper. Wrong management
may put the best and most healthful
flock out of condition. Bad ventila-
tion of poultry houses, improper feed
ing-either underfeeding or overfeed-
ing, and especially the too free use
of highly concentrated feed to force
growth or egg production-are COM
mon causes which make naturally
sound and healthy fowls unduly sus-
ceptible to ordinary weather changes.
Appropriate size and type and the
vitality that gives and expresses per
feci health and condition are essen
tials in mating standard poultry for
practical results. Every poultry raiser
who desires a utility flock of birds
of uniform appearance should not neg
lect to give any one of these essen
tiaIs his careful consideration. They
are equally essential to the breeder
who desires to produce birds of high
exhibition quality, for with these es
sentials as the foundation he can de
velop show birds that will be desirable
also for their practical qualities.

The Loom of Life.

1t is q solemn thought that every
one of us carries about with him a
mystical loom, and we are always
weaving-weave, weave, weave-this
robe which we wear, every thought
o thread of the warp, every action a
thread of the weft. We weave it, and
we dye it, and we cut it, and we
stitch it, and then we put it on and
wear it; and it. sticks to US. Like Il
snail that crawls about your garden
patches and makes it's shell, by pro-
cess of secretion from out of its own
substance, so you and l are making
that mysterious solemn thing, we call
character, moment by moment. 1t is
our own self modified by our actions
Character is the precipitate from the
stream of conduct which, like the Nile
delta, gradually rises solid and firm
above the parent river, and confines
Its flow.-Alexander Maclarcn.

HAD NO CHANCE WITH HIM
Easy to Understand Why BIinkers Car

Carnival Costume.

When the Slocum Tennis club held
carnival in aid of war funds every
body began to talk about Blinkers.
What costume would he wear? His
calves were too thin for knee-breeches,
and his arms too slim for a Viking,
while his small head, scant of hair,
would be lost in an antique helmet.
On the great day, however, Blink
ers was first favorite. All the ladies
crowded round him and voted for him
to have the prize, while William the

y around alone.

HAVE REAL MARTIAL SPIRIT
Porto Rlcans Seemingly forgot "Man
ana" When There Was a Prospect
Of Active War Service.


When the Americans swarmed into
the Antilles back in 1898 they wrote
reams about "manana." 1t was the
first Spanish word they learned, for
"manana" meant tomorrow and with
the Spaniard the ever elusive "tomor-
row" was the only suitable time for
ever doing anything, writes a corre-
spondent from San Juan. Porto Rico.
How times have changed could not
be better illustrated than by what has
now become one of the common sights
of San Juan, platoons of earnest, shirt
sleeved men earnestly tramping up and
down the by-streets to the accompani-
ment of crisp military commands and
the constant ''one-two-three-fou
count.
For all of draftable San Juan was
preparing for the expected call under
the new eighteen-forty-six draft, and
intead of tomorrow" they have ap-
parently adopted yesterday" for a
motto.
They have learned how those IN the
nrSt druft VINO took time by the fore
lock and learned the manual before
being called to Las Casas had big ad-
vantage when the selection of non
CONS was in order, and a nOncommis-
stoned officer has more pay, more au-
thority, more comfort and better still,
more opportunity for both the dis
play Of courage and initiative and rec
ognition than falls to the lot of the pri.
vate.
So eighteen to forty-six is hiking up
and down the roads under the instruc-
tion of older men who have served
their novitinte to Mars, imbued with
the spirit of desire to get as close
to the heart of things as is still pos
sible.
