Enolish Like Hiking.

A dlligent study of American news
papers dIscl0ses many crazes that
seize the people of these islands
which the islands themselves seem
strangely unaware of.
From such source learn that hik-
Ing is very popular in England, where
"a party of young people, sensibly
dressed and with slaves, start at SIX
or seven o'clock In the morning, carry
n few sandwiches and drink, walk
along country roads until noon, picnic
and rest during the heat Of the day,
and then walk home In the cool OF
the evening, refrcshngly tired for
such n nights sleep as only the true
hiker knows"
Apparently It is the latest name for
n country ramble. Anyhow, Americans
are being persuaded to hike more, the
result Of which is IN increased sturdi'
ness Of mind and body.-London

The withdrawal OF the British forces
along the battle front in France was
long ago planned in the event OF the
Germans attacking in great force. This
announcement comes from the British
front through the Associated Press
correspondent, who describes the op'
Grafton of the British army as a mas

gallant shock troops in the front
lines, who checked the advance OF the
Germans, while artillery, machine gun

Flying Tank Is
Reported Latest
German Scheme

German aviators are training in
the use Of the flying tank" says Ed
win L. James in a cable to the New
York Times from the American front
in France. This newest weapon of
the air is an all-steel plane. Not only
is it armored, but its wings aremade
of steel 1t has a speed Of fifty miles
an hour, and carries several six-centi-
meter guns,
The Germans are understood to be
now making very elaborate tests with
it. This new tool of war represents
a German effort to outstrip the allies
in the use of airpIanes flying low
against infantry. The allies have had
marked success with this kind of
aerial warfare, especially in the re-
cent Somme battles, and Fritz evil
denty is to try to go them one better.

it has been impossible to get a de-
tailed statement Of the affair, the re-

Al negro brute was forcing young
white girl across the river near Err
win, endeavoring to force her across
by wading the stream. The young
lady was in company with her little
brother at the time the negro attack
ed her, and it was the cries Of the
little boy that attracted the attention
of a man on the opposite side Of the
river. When about half way across
the stream the negro discovered that
he had been seen, and in his efforts to
ward off shots from a gun in the
hands Of the gentleman on the oppo-

6 Germans Shot
By Own Comrades
Entire Company Is Wiped Out
When a Few Try to

How every man of German COM
pany lost his life in an attack on the
Armentires front is told in a letter
from Liverpool officer to his local
"The fercest fight we had" he
writes, twas when the enemy massed
troops with the object Of widening the
gap he had made. The attempt was
made in open country, where we were
able to mass number of battalions
him, and the fighting was very
fierce.
"Our Liverpool battalion had the
post of honor. When the Germans
to throw their troops against
us we poured into their ranks very
heavy fire and did terrific execution.
Immediately in front of US, Ger
man company got caught between our
fire and that of another English regi-
ment, with the result that they could
neither advance nor go back. They
kept on trying to reach our square,
but were shot down one by one until
only six of them remained. These
six threw down their rifles and signi-
fed that they wished to surrender
But there were seen by a German of
ficer nearby, who gave an order to his
men, and the six were shot down by
their own comrades before they could
reach us"

young lady to the bottom Of the

way to the bank after having been
shot twice. He died soon after reach
ing the river bank, but by this time an
infuriated mob of people had gather
ed, and not being satisfied with hav-
ing killed the negro brute, they drug
him up the river some three miles, sat
urated his body with coal oil and
burned it. The body or the young
girl had not been recovered from the
river according to reports this morn

It is stated that Immediately after
this horrible affair, the citizens of Err

Hindenburg's Men Working
necessarily In Preparation For
Renewal Of the Big Drive

Although the Germans in Flanders
and Picardy are keeping up incessant-
ly their preparations for resumption
Of their spring drive, there is as yet
no indication that an attack on a
large scale is Immediately imminent.
For several weeks past the enemy has
been engaged assiduously in bring
ing up guns and supplies of all kinds,
and also new forces to reconstitute
the units which the Americans, Brit
ish and French guns cut to pieces as
he tried at varius points to break the
allied line, and the feeling now is that
the work is fairly well done and that
any day may witness the commence
ment of another great offensive on
the western fornt.
As ready as is the enemy for the
battle stand the allied armies, fit, so
far as men and gun power are con-
cerned, and confident that no advan-
tage will be gained over them except
as has been usual by the payment of
an awful price in men fed to the guns.
Large numbers of Americans daily

are being brought to the front ready
for immediate service, or are rein
forcing the units under intensive
t>aining Immediately behind the bat
tie line.
Meanwhile, the big guns continue
to roar in mighty duels on various
sectors, and here and there small
bands of infantry constantly are leav-
ing their trenches in raids or small
attacks, with the object Of captur-
ing pieces Of terrain which may be of
strategic value when the big fight
begins. Latest of these small affairs,
where bit Of ground was required,
has been successfully carried out by
the British in che capture of the viii
lage of Ville-sur-Ancre on the Amiens
sector. Not only was the position
taken, but with it $50 prisoners and
twenty machine guns fell into the
hands Of Field Marshal Haig's troops,
whose casualties were slight.
In raiding operations northwest Of
Albert and near Hamel the British al
so were enabled to take additional
prisoners and machine guns.
