After reading the article concerntng

the fellow who could not find q girl

One who he's been in the police

wouldn't send you my photo. because
IL cheapens a girl to get so personal
with a fellow she has never met. But
don't be afraid I'm over twenty-one.

say that I will pass a little above

 How is Cordova this summer? Was there quite a bit doing and how was the wages? I suppose that a lot of the fellows have left there by now. Did the city ever start the work on the sewer or street grade? How is everybody in that country getting on? have never heard from anyone up there"

SUPREME EFFORT
BOUND TO FAIL
VIEW OF BRITISH

British Army Headquarters in France,
March 21-(By the Associated Press).-It
is too early to predict the outcome Of the
first few hours Of the struggle in which
vast forces and every conceivable engine
probably was employed on general prin-
ciples, however, it may be stated that the
great concentration of attacking forces
will probably result in the defensive line
being pushed back in places. This would
merely be history repeating Itself.
This nuch is certain; At no period has
the British war machine been in such per-
feet condition. Never before has there
been higher morale or optimism among
The British troops. The general impress
sion on tho front is in agreement with
that of the Germans that this is the de-
cisive contest of the war. But on the
British side there is no doubt that the de-
cision will eventually lie in the Allies
favor.
iermany IS placing everything on this
rlay and if the great attack fails to
break through it is believed that the Ger
mans will be finished. for they have moth
ing further to offer except a gradually
weakening defense.
The bombardment today was one of the
most intense seen along this front AS
had been generally expected. the Ger
mans depended on short. heavy artillery
work TO carry their troops forward. Large
quantities Of gas were used at various
places and extraordinarily high velocity
shells have been whining across the back
areas since daybreak. The Germans had

ported that one German tank was seen
