Allied Line Bent,
But Not Broken

He delivered blows in this new fash
ION in several places. He struck first
in front of Arras, where he failed :;
then north Of Montdidier, where he
failed again; then five days later up
north against the Lys front, where
he succeeded. That was on April 9.
When he had succeeded there he at
once took advantage of the success
and poured IN troops through the
gap. But though it took some days
for the Allies to bring up forces
about half as numerous as the ene-
my's, yet when this proportion had
been concentrated he was stopped
again, and his second effort thus
came to an end in the great battle
of April 20, when he was fought to
standstill
The German then stopped his at
I tacks for full month to recruit his
forces. He got the cases of the
lighter wounded back from the hos
pltal, put in what he could of the
younger classes of lads, and on Mon
day, May 27, he struck again be-
tween scissors and Rheims. The
blow was successful He went right
through the old semi-permanent de-
fences, and though he didn't break
the line in the sense Of separating it
in halves, he bent it back and
thus extended its length with very
much greater rapidity than the
Allies could bring in proper REIN
forcements.
The Allies held firmly on either
side of the breach, but forward from
the place where the enemy had
broken through he advanced with
great rapidity, and within four DAYS
certain light forces had already
touched the Marne, thirty-odd miles
away; ne had created very deep
salient--a salient almost as deep as
1t was broad. Such position Is
an extremely dangerous one for the
party which produces it, although it
mas been produced by his success; :;
1or any narrow and deep wedge
OF this sort presents enormously
developed and vulnerable flanks.
which may be broken by even an
inferior oponent, and if they are
broken the force in front that is
between the tip of the salient and the
point Of the breach finds itself
trapped.

Novel Tactics Used

Outcome of Struggle, How.

Unknown Elements
By Hilaire Belloc


"HE situation shows an almost
complete sterilization of the
enemy's advance line be-
tween the Aisne and the Marine. The
enemy having brought in to date
about fifty divisions, for two days
has shown no fresh troops.
The American infantry brigaded
with French infantry at one point
las gone forward where the enemy
advance was most threatened, half
way between Chevy and Torcy The
accuracy of the American gunnery
is especially to be noted
The interest of the action lies not
in its extent, which was slight, but
in the increasing presence of Ameri-
can troops and in the enemy suffer
ing for the first time since May 27
from counter attacks on the south
side of this salient.
The enemy has made no further
attempts against Rheims, but rather
less than half way between that
town and the Marne he made an at
tack on Bligny and captured the
village, which was later retaken by
British counter attacks. A much
more violent effort a few miles to
the south at Champlot failed, with
over half the enemy lost.
In general the fronts for the mo-
ment are as fully established on the
eastern side of the salient as on the
western. We must remember, how
ever, that this is the twelfth day
since the attack on the front between
scissors and Rheims began. 1t is
too early for the enemy to have re-
paired all his communications behind
his advance and to have brought up
the full weight Of his artillery.
German Success
Not Yet a Victory ~
In considering the Germans great
success of the last two weeks we
must never commit the error of con-
fusing an offensive advance with
victory. Victory or defeat will come
only at the end of the action-per-
haps weeks or months from now:
and they are not discoverable in this
its central and least decided moment.
The chief cause of popular error
in judging the extremely grave
crisis through which the fortunes of
the Allies are passing is the wide
spread conception that the enemy's
object is typographical; that is, the
conception that he is trying to reach
this or that place Or to effect such
and such a maneuvre upon the map.
Much the greater part of everything
that has been done in the past by
both sides has, it is true, been of this
nature, as indeed must necessarily
be the case with far the greater part
CT the activities of all war.
But what the enemy is doing now
New-York tribune., 1918-06-09
Germany Main Strategic Aim Failed;
Enemy in Dangerous Position on Name

Is novel SO far as this war is con-
cerned in the sense that results
shown upon the map, are quite sub
ordinate to another element. This
is his present aim Of disintegrating
the forces opposed to him before the
American troops can appear in
strength. In other words, he is strik-
ing. as has been emphasized before,
While he still has superior numbers,
a series of blows upon the weight Of
which he depends to dissolve in the
long run the armed organization of
France and Britain, to break the AL
Led line, and to break not only the
military, but the civil powers of re-
sistance which the two nations in
the West have for their support.
With his great success of March %
the enemy destroyed more than fifty
miles of the old quasi-permanent
field Notifications upon which the
Allies depended for their power of
resistance against what was certain
to be the enemy's superior numbers
Of men and material during the dan
eerous interval between the disap-
pearance of Russia and the effective
appearance in the field Of the United
States. Having thus destroyed fifty
miles of 1.-The wall" and having re-
stored the war of movement over
the vast triangle extending nearly
to Amiens, the enemy perceived two
things: first, that his strategic OBJ
ject, which had been the separation
of the French from the British, had
failed; second, that his new tactics
could be relied upon to have a
chance, at least, of breaking any
permanent part Of the line.
From that moment he turned his
attention to the development of the
new tactics, which consist of the
secret concentration of large forces;
in a brief and very intense bonn
bardment; in pushing up every kind
OF light weapon, and especially field
artillery, right forward with the in
fantry; in training his troops for
very rapid advance, and in estab-
fishing them in depth so that fresh
units may go forward between the
gaps of the tired units and thus
keep up the rapidity Of the advance
once the opposing lines are broken.

An old practical hunter tells me that the panther is the most arrant coward in the woods and will climb a tree and stay there when attacked by the smallest flee.
 Tom Dobbins, of near Olmstead, a man living on Gravel Ridge, near where Todds mill is now located, had q fine varmint dog, which ran some thing from his house one night and bayed at it so long that he took his gun and went to him. It was getting light enough by that time for him to see and when he reached the dog he saw a large panther walking back and forth on big limb. One shot knock ed him out of the tree. A girl living in the neighborhood getting tired lis- tening to the dogs barking took down her faithful gun and with an uncom- plimentary remark about the no-ac- countness of men in general, started for the scene. She was nearly there when she heard the owners gun fire and returned home to get her beauty sleep. This same old gentleman had q habit of blowing into the barrel of his gun after shot It was a double barreled gun, one barrel being for shot and the other a rifle. AS usual, one day after a shot he pulled back the hammer with his toe and blew into the barrel, his toe slipped off, the gun went off and after two or three days search his body was found The bull let was also found. It went through his head into a tree at the roots of which his body was found
 Mr. Nelsons fireplace is not very than any other fireplace I ever sat by. It only takes two sled loads of wood, one of fat pine and one of oak to keep it going all day and night and it warns his whole house, upstairs and down. Hoover has nothing to say about this extravaganza because MT Nelson is clearing land and when he burns the wood he saves the ashes and next sea- son he will greatly increase the yield of the crop he fertiliZes with them. They are very rich in potash and pot ash is now very scarce in America. He claims three results accomplished by his big fireplace. First he gets his land cleared to furnish it with wood, next he warns his house and third he fertilizes his land with the ashes.

 The snow and sleet has brought all business of this vicinity to standstill except building fires and cooking. The sleet has done great damage to the forest. The timber is broken so badly that it is difficult task to go around the neighborhood.
 We are having the hardest winter in several years. The people here think we will have a fine crop year as the freeze will kill insects and mellow the ground.
 The people of this vicinity are changing their mode of living very much. We eat our corn bread regu- lar once and twice a day, and some of us have seven meatless days a week, and are economizing on all foods. There is not so much waste, as in the past.

To light the lamp touch the match to the wick and as soon as it catches rub the end of the match backward and forward over It until all the carbon is removed, also then push the corners in a little with the match. Never trim a lamp any other way nor use scissors except to trim very little off the corners when new. You can by these precautions get the same amount of light, or more than you now get with one-half the amount of fluid or gas. Try it.

When I was little my father tried to get me to eat only mush and milk for supper, telling me that was all he and other children got for supper when he was small in Kentucky and Ten nessee. Since then have seen a few families which were raised on corn meal and milk and when they grew up they had such good stomachs that they could eat anything without in- jury. They were also red and healthy looking. Another thing I have noticed is that people raised almost exclusive ly on a corn diet grow much larger and are more robust than any other people.
