War Ne1ps Surmaru

In violent attacks on a thirty mile front from Soissons toward Rheims the German armies are forcing back the British and French on nearly every sector. Seemingly Rheims, like Soissons. is doomed. as troops defending it have been withdrawn to the northwest.
 The Germans are continually throwing in fresh divisions and the British and French are re- tiring only when tremendous pressure forces them out. Heavy casualties are suffered by the Germans, while those of the Allies are described as relatively light. There has been no official statement of Foch sending in his reserves.
 Praise is being showered on the Americans for their first offensive against the Germans at Cantigny and in other parts of Flanders and Picardy.
 The Germans are bombing the Allied lines heavily.

Three Fires Monddu

There were three fires in Hol-
 brook last Monday afternoon at about the same time. The first alarm was caused by the dis covery of fire in Wm. Lees corral. This was completely de- stroyed. While this corral was burning fire was discovered in the old Smith livery barn. north of the station. Prompt work succeeded in eXtinguishing the blaze before much damage was done. The third fire started in an adobe building south of the river belonging to H. H. Scorse. The building was occupied by five Mexican families. all of whom. with the exception of one, succeeded in removing their household goods from the build ing. The fifth, Romero by name, lost everything they had. The origin of neither fire is known.
 The old Smith barn is a men, ace to the business section of town. Monday is the second time within six weeks that fire has started in this building. Had the fire not been discovered when it was it would have gained so much headway that it could not have been extingulshed and several blocks of buildings would have been burned. The barn is filled with hay ; the corral is used by teamsters, and the whole thing is a serious danger to the town. It should be removed or emptied of it's contents and boarded up tightly. so that there would be less danger of it being set on fire by sparks from en- zines or by the carelessness of people who use it as a camping place.

Freight and Passenger Rates to
 Be Increased

An examination of McAdoo's order raising freight rates on a basis of 25 per cent and passen- ger fares to three cents a mile and abolishing lower interstate rates indicate the average in- crease will be higher than 25 per cent, owing to the many changes and readjustments that will be made. The new passenger rates will go into effect June 10th and the freight rates June 18th. The interstate commerce commission approved the order without a hearing. Summer vacation rates will be established, but will be on a higher scale.
