Greed Worth Living Up To.

If any country boy ever be
comes disconnected with his lol
and thinks there might be more
opportunities elsewhere, or bet.
ter place to live than in a white
farm house, let him read the
creed composed by Edwin Os.
good Grover. The lines might
be pinned up on his bureau,
where he can see them the first
thing in the morning and the
last thing at night.
Il believe that the country,
which God made, is more beauti-
full than the city, which man
made; that life out of doors and
in touch with the earth is the
natural life of man.
Il believe that work is work
wherever we md 1t, but that
work with nature is more inspir.
ing than work with the most
intricite machinery.
II believe that the dignity of
labor depends not on what you
do, but on how you do it that
opportunity comes to a boy on
the farm as often as to a boy in
the city that life is larger and
freer and happier on the farm
than in the town that my sue.
cess depends not upon my loca-
ton, but upon myself T; not upon
dreams, but upon what actually
do not upon luck, but upon
pluck.
Il believe in working when
you work and in playing when
you play, and in giving and de.
harding a square deal in every
act of life"

SURVEY OF WAR SITUATION.

In spite of the tremendous eft.
forts put forth by the Germans
to check the relentless pressure
of the Allies north of the Ourcq
River. today finds the German
positions there in grave danger.
French, British and American
troops, fighting their way for
ward to the east of Fere-en-Tar-
denois, have driven a wedge into
the enemy's line and seem to be
in a position to compel a hurried
retreat from Roncheres and ST.
Gemme, at the extreme bottom
of the salient between scissors
and Rheims.
The Allied line today runs
south from scissors to Grand
Rozoy and then it begins to turn
to the east. 1t passes just north
of Fere.en-Tardenois and con.
tinues to the apex of the wedge
at the Village OF Nesles, where
it turns sharply toward Ronch
eres. The Allies advance ii
this region seems to have placed
them in a dominat ting position.
All around the salient there
has been a continuous battle dur
ing the last two days, with thu
Germans launching repeated
counter-attacks against the AL
lied lines. They have all failed
and the Allies have gained i'm
portant ground at vital points.
I'm mediately south of Scissors
and west of Rheims the German
lines are strongly held, but enc
my efforts to improve his posi-
ton in the latter region hav'
broken down.
There now seems to be littl,
doubt that the Germans will re
treat to the Velse River as sool
~ possible, any possibility o
making a stand north of thu
Ourcq being seemingly gone.
Against the new British posi-
tions at Merris, in the Lys sail
