GERMANS MEET FAILURE
Counter-Attack and Repel
Invaders On Western Front.

Won Hindenburg's troops thus far
have met with failure virtually at al!
points in their attack against the
French in the Locre sector.
In the early stages the enemy sue
cceded in driving in the defending po-
sitions at some points, but counter
attacks threw the Germans back at
most of these places, and the French
virtually re-established their entire
line.
The reports show that the Germans
have made some small progress in
places.
The attack against the Entente po-
sitions northwest Of KENNEL was
launched at 4:30 o'clock after heavy
bombardment. 1t appeared to be di-
rccted against the ground captured
by the French on May 90.

SHOWER BATHS
 FOR CHILDREN
Low Wash Basins and Little Shower Baths Adapted for the Use of the Tots.

Up in the mountains, where the snow falls early and lies deep, 30 miles from Lyons. is the little French village of Les Halles-a story book village. with it's massive stone church standing blue-gray plaster cottages. And a mile farther on is the Chateau des Halles, where your Red Cross has established home for 200 sick children Mangini built the chateau. Man. gini was the man who built the rail- road along the Riviera and many oth- CT railroads in France. And thirty odd years ago he built this castle up in the mountains for his country home. But soon after his two children died. Then he dled, and when his widow fol. lowed him she left the chateau to the city of Lyons to be used as hospital for children.
 The Wars Wrcckage.
 Then came the war. A little rivulet of the wars wreckage began to trickle in at Evian-"repatries,' elderly men and women, children, even babies, who had once lived in the parts of France engulfed by the German tides and whom the Germans. finding them use less, were beginning to ship back into France by way of Switzerland. Grad ually this rivulet swelled. Soon 1000 of these unfOrtunates were arriving at Evian daily. AnG fully half of them were children. undernourished thinly clad. dirty. sickly and, worse. grim, spiritless. with faces that had forgotten how to smile.
 To care for these children was the task your Red Cross at once assumed. Working with the French authorities. the Red Cross secured permission to make use of the old and almost forgot. ten Chauteau des Halles up there in | the mountains For years the castle had been closed No effort had ever been made to fit it up as hospital. Your Red Cross had to begin at the 1 very beginning.
 Rooms Big and Jolly. | But what a wonderful task it has accomplishedl The Chateau des Halles, transformed into a children's hospital and rest home in furious haste under the terrible pressure or war needs, with little time to think twice and no time to retrieve errors, is not only one of the most complete establishments of its kind; 1t is one or the best children's' hospitals in all France The two rooms where the arriving children are isolated for a few days are big, jolly rooms-Just what is need to efface from the little ones minds the memories of those iron days behind the German lines. ihe big play room is strewn with rock'hg horses and wonderful smile-entirins parrots and other toys carved by the wounded poilus.
 And so you stray from room to room' and everywhere you find new eV'- | dences of this watchful care. Aho then you reach the bathrooms. rms chateau was built by man or weai'h. Its plumbing was excellent, and yet has been stripped out and replace" with little, low wash basins and 'ltte shower baths that the children can use J more comfortably.
