Knew What He Wanted.

In Seventh avenue one of the
first requisites for satisfactory exist
ence is to learn the language. Sew
enth avenue has language of its own
and the great difficulty of mastering
it is that it is so much like English
that 1t becomes unusually confusing.
A roughly dressed boy of twelve wan
dered into a drug store at Thirty
fourth street and approached the soda
fountain. There was crowd about
it, but he forced his way through and
ordered "bonnella" soda.
The clerk after some delay provided
1t, but the boy Immediately objected
that the drink was not for him.

SENTIMENT ALL RIGHT, BUT
Youngsters Reason for Buying carna-
lions Knocked All Pathos Out
of the Incident.

He was poorly dressed youngster
of perhaps fourteen years.
His trousers were shabby, and there
was only one button on his thin coat.
He wasn't tall enough to push through
the crowd of women around the bar
gain countey where fresh carnations
were on SAFE at two cents each.
Finally saleswoman saw the grimy
hand reaching out, with six moist PEN
MES and shiny dime in it, and in an
swer to his 'I want eight, please, all
colors,' he received an assortment OF
pink, red and white flowers, all show
Ing more or less the effect of rough
handling.
A woman who stood near by built
up pretty little story about him.
She was certain he was little news
boy. and that the flowers were for his
mother, who probably was ill in free
hospital.
Tenderly the child adjusted the It's
sue paper around the carnations, and
queer little smile curved his lips.
"Are your pretty flowers for your
mother, little boy?" asked the senti-
mental bystander.
"Naw,' answered the youth with
an impish grin, they're for my girl"

Near Blamont

With the American Forces on the
French Front, May 1.-THE Germans
launched a heavy gas attack against
the American troops on the Picardy
front during the night. Early in the
evening they sent over $4,000 shells,
composed chiefly Of mustard gas, with
in brief period.
These shells were followed by an In
tense artillery fire at midnight, several
hundred gas shells dropping into the
American lines.
Enemy airplanes appeared over the
American lines about the same time.
Antiaircraft guns brought down one
German machine and damaged an
other.
The extreme activity of the artil-
lery and ayiators, the rifle fire and
night flares and the reported move
ments behind the enemy lines in this
sector may forecast new attack, but
General Pershings men are ready for
any emergency.
Giving Blow for Blow.
They are countering the enemy's
preparations blow for blow, keeping
up harassing artillery, rife and ma
chine gun fire and are actively patrol
ling.
The spirit of the Americans is ex-
cellent. They are eager to fight, and a
typical expression is. Let Fritz START
something. He'll get all that is com
Ing to him.
A young French captain who trained
the men now in the Picardy lines told
the press he never had seen finer ma
terial.
.'All are of one mind" he said, ito

Montdidier, which can be seen from
observation posts in the American
lines, has been badly knocked about,
but the church is still standing. The
Cantigny church also is intact, al
though it probably is used as a Ger

The American artillery blew up what
probably was an ammunition dump
near Cantigny, the fire lasting half an
hour.
