Turn Clocks Ahead
For Sunday Morning

Don't forget to turn your clocks
ahead 6ne hour when you go to bed
Saturday night, unless you want to
sleep very much overtime Sunday
morning, as the daylight-saving law
goes into effect at a. m. March 81.
While the new law may be trifle
confusing at first, the American peo-
pie will soon readjust themselves to
the new time and will practically
know no difference. 1t will be a
boon to employees in shops and Of
fices, as longer time will be given
for recreation and other pursuits
during the long summer evenings
the new law will afford.

Taps Sounded for
First Soldier Dead

The body of Arthur ]. Decker,
Ashlands first soldier dead was
brought to this city Tuesday evening
by Private Arvel Settle, who accom-
panied the remains from Fort Stew
ems as an escort. AS a token of re-
spect to the young man who had Civ
en- his life for his country a public
funeral was conducted from the arm
ory Wednesday afternoon under di-
rection of the Ashland Home Guard
and other military auxiliaries. By
proclamation from the mayor the
schools and all the business places
closed at o'clock in order that the
highest tribute OF respect could be
paid to the memory of the soldier
who had answered the last roll call.
At o'clock the Grand Army,
Womens Relief Corps, Soldiers Aux
illary, Home Guard, Honor Guard
and a large concOurse of the citizens
of Ashland filled the armory to over
flowing, where the casket, buried in
floral offerings from sympathizing
friends, was placed under draped
flags. A handsome pillow represent
ing the American flag was one of the
most beautiful floral tributes. May
or G. B. Lamkin had charge of the
services, and told how this brave
young man had enlisted to the call
of his country's needs when the 1st
company was first organized, and
how later when the call came for
volunteers to go out recently on the
mission on which thirty Ashland
boys departed, Arthur Decker was
one of the entire company to again
enlist The fact that he never saw
service on a battlefield made him
none the less hero and every inch

Allied Soldiers Hold Line From
Retreating Along Entire Front

expected assault. Meanwhile, the
American artillery had started a
counter barrage against the German
side of No Mans Land and apparently
this was effective, for although the
Americans waited, no Germans ap-
peared. What happened on the other
side of the line is not known.
Enemy artillery fire has been
heavy and some shots were we'll
placed. The American gunners gave
the enemy batteries severe drench-
ing with gas shells.
Men belonging to a dismounted
French cavalry corps, acting as infan-
try, fought a rear guard action day
after day against immense odds The
troopers declare that the enemy came
forward in such deep waves that II
was only necessary to fire point blank
to hit with certainty. These cavalry
men fired into the enemy so rapidly
that the Germans fell in swaths, yet
still others came on, until the French
defenders were compelled to cease
fire, because both rifles and machine
guns were red hot.
The advance of the Germans was
similar in character everywhere,
wave succeeding wave in a close sue
cession, only to be shot down. 1t was
something like a relay race-when
the first German division was ex-
hausted, another Immediately took
its place. In some cases single
division Of the allies, while retiring,
was attacked successfully by six
German divisions.
The allies stood the test courage
ously, but such a continued series of
shocks from fresh troops was bound
to tell on tired men, and eventually
the allies were forced to give way.
But they did so still fighting.
It is known that one Bavarian di-
vision lost so per cent of its strength
1t was clearly apparent that the
German high command rely on this
method of sacrifice to break through
The French staff derives considerable
satisfaction from the fact that man!
GeThlan divisions we're thus put ou
Of battle, at least for the period re
quired for their reconstruction, ant
in this way great part of the Ger
man reserve was used up, while the
allies merely called upon their imme
diate reserves.
Further powerful attacks are ex
pected, but it is difficult to foresee
at the moment, where these will take
place. 1t may be said, however tina;
the situation is fully in hand, and the
heaviest kind of fighting may be
looked for.
