Mr. Editor, here is a little poem

cess Of the laddies in France,
Now listen, | have story
That | am anxious to tell;
The Hun is on the jump now,
And we are giving Billy H.
The Crown Prince is on the move now
He is no more in Lorraine to dwell;
Our laddies are over there now
Our laddies will soon be returning,
Of great victories they can tell;
How they met the Huns in August
And gave Old Billy H.
There is to be a big blowout in Ber-
lin,
A tyrant's throne to sell,
And a change of administration,
For we are giving Old Billy Il
And we will meet our laddies
Of a glorious victory,
Who return home to tell :.
And how they gave Old Billy H
And | think | see E. f. W.,
As his heart begins to swell,
Trying to tell Miss Lille
How they gave Old Billy H
Eyes filled with tears Of gladness,
And hearts throbbing with joy;
Many, many mother
Will embrace her boy.
Upon their knees at retr ing
With gratitude many hearts will
swell,
As they thank God for saving them
To give Old Billy H.

 NEAR COMPEIGNE
This Is Toll Paid in Effort to Break Noyon-Mont-
 didier Line

Paris, June 16.-Eighty thousand Germans were killed, wounded or made prisoner dur ing the general offensive be tween Montdidier and Noyon, Capt. Andrew Tardieu, who ac- companied Premier Clemen- reau to the front on Sunday, told Marcel Hutin, editor of the Echo de Paris, upon his re- turn to Paris.
 "This is a figure which should make even Ludendorff reflect" he said.
 "One cannot insist enough upon the exceptional importance of the results obtained by the counter attacks of divisions under General Mangin against the right flank of General Won Hutier's $ armies" he continued. This magnifi- cent operation has nailed the enemy to the spot and completely checked the advance toward Compeigne. German officers who were made prisoner do not attempt to hide their chagrin at their inability to reach Compeigne which they admit was their objective.
 Premier Clemenceau contented him. self by remarking:
 q am completely satisfied"
