It is a matter for general gratifca-
ton, not only that the Liberty Loan
bonds purchased in the county were
well above the quota, but that there
was such large increase in the bonds
sold in practically every village and
town in the county, many going far
over what was expected Of them.

THE STATE WILL PROTECT HIM

Some very interesting articles show
ing the working of the child welfare
laws, under supervision of the state
board of control, are being issued from
that office, as will be seen from the
following, the name of the mother
used not being the real one:
Mary Jones was an unmarried mother
whose baby boy was born few weeks
ago in st. Paul hospital. Her family
had not known Of her condition until
the birth of the child. When they learn
Of the situation there was violent an
ger, overwhelming shame, and some
thing akin to hatred for the mother
and babe. And whys Because Mary
had sinned in human way and
brought disrepute upon her family. The
feeling was to degree natural, but it
was selfish; for the health, well-being
and future of Mary and her child were
entirely lost sight of, while her rela-
tives INDUCED in self-pity and sought
means of securing secrecy at any cost.
The birth of the; child was reported to
the state board Of control, whose duty
it is under the law "to take care that
the interests of the child are safeguard
ed, that appropriate steps are taken to
establish his paternity, and that there
is secured for him the nearest possible
approximation to the care, support, and
education that he would be entitled to
if born of lawful MARRIAGE After
patient and long-contimued urging,
Mary and her family were convinced
that Mary should not bear the burden
alone, but that the father of the child
should be made to share fully in his re-
sponsibility. The alleged father was ap-
preached and admitted relationships of
intimacy but resorted to the well-known
method of charging promiscuity. He
offered few hundred dollars just "to
settle the matter.' However, he was
informed that under the law the father
Of an illegitimate child is ''subject to
all the obligations for the care, mainte-
nance and education of such child, and
to all the penalties for failure to per-
form the same, which are, or shall be,
imposed by law upon the father Of q
legitimate child Of like age and capa.
city" 1t was made clear that any set
Element must be made on the basis of
paternity and not as a contribution of
''hush' money. The man was Stub
born but upon trial was declared to be
the father of the child. He came to
the board of control for settlement.
"Would five hundred dollars be
.'enoughi'' was the question put, and
the answer was, ga legitimate child
could not be supported on such a sum
the manner of the child g coming does
not alter the cost Of his existence = AS
the father was about to enter the SER
vice of the United States government,
it was agreed that he should pay down

WIN the bT1tlSn Army IN france,
April 25.-The Germans have begun
a heavy bombardment OF the British
positions In the Somme sector, and
the latest repoyts state that the at.
tack is in progress. A German bonn,
.bardment OF the British positions on
both sides of the River Lave on the
northern, battlefront, was begun early.
A large eection of this battlefront Is
see&h1ng, although the definite dimen.
sions Of the infantry action are not
Jet Known. -.
The drive on Amiens for which the
Germans plunged desperately but
failed to reach in their great offensive

-: ~ Attack IL Resumed.
In the effort to push toward this
important junction point and Allied
bass. renewed after two weeks in.
terval in which the main German of.
fort was transferred to Flanders, the
enemy has launched a heavy attack
on a front of approximately 20 miles.
The line at which the German in.
fantry Is again being thrown extends
from the district north of Albert,
which is northeast Of ,Amiens, to the
Avre. river, southeast; Of, tho city.
Nearly all this front rs held By. the
British, whose hne links up With the
French. ct the River:L nce; about three
miles north of the A1re. :t ~ l., - :,
The attack here represents. q con:
.tinuation Of the persistent German
efforts TO push In between the French
and British by striking heavy blows
near the point OF junction.
The comparatively narrow feld in
which the enemy could attack with
reasonable expectations Of profit to
himself has thus given I the Allies
warning, largely eliminated the ele-
ment of surprise, which was so strong
a factor in the earlier German cue
cess, and doubtless had led to the
massing of strong Anglo-French fore
es at the point where the Germans
are now striking.
The Germans have been working
up a strong artillery fire. along vir.
tua1ly the whole British southern
front for several days, following the
easing Of their pressure on the Elan.
ders front, but the preliminary inten-
sive bombardment was of compare.
lively short duration. The drum fire
began early today, followed shortly
by the advance Of the infantry.
What was apparently intended as a
surprise blow, without notable artil-
leFy preparation, was launched by
the Germans northwest Of Albert.
The British. were on the alert, how
ever, and met the advances with a
hail Of file and machine gun fire,
driving back: the enemy.
Meanwhile the enemy has main
tanned sufficient pressure in the Elan
ders area to- keep the Anglo-French
forces we'll ! occupied there. The
French are guarding this region and
they repulsed the assault after sharp
fighting, their artillery cooperating
with the British guns in. severely pun.

LIGHTLESS NIGHTS
Will Be MODIFIED
More Illumination to be
Permitted in Shop Win
dows Alter Sunday
NO EXTRAVAGANCE
in STREET LIGHTING

The ban on the illumination Of shop
windows, established by the lightless
night order Of last August, much TO the
discontinue OF small shopkeepers, will
be modified after November II, the Fuel
Administration has announced. New
lighting regulations viii take effect that
date.
The proposed regulations provide for
the continuance OF the ilghtless nights
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of each week in New England,
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware. Marylad, District Of Column
bia, Ohio and Michigan, but prohibit
store or shop window lighting only
when the store Is closed and then only
on the lightless nights. Throughout
the rest OF the country virtually all
lighting restrictions are left 10 the dis
cretion OF the State Fuel Administra-
tors.
The mitigation OF restrictions in the
East Is due TO an Improvement in the
supply OF bituminous and anthracite
steam coal, but caution still must be
observed in that regian, it is said, be-
cause OF the anthracite and power situ-
alton.
The new order also prohibits the
wasteful use OF lights in streets, parks
or other public places. The use Of
light for advertisements, announce
ments or signs, or for the external or
namentation Of any building Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday OF
each week is continued in the North
