BACK HOME STUFF

Fourth Street in our town has no
sidewalk. 1t has always been neglected.
1t is over near the creek and the "folks

THE POOR BUILDINGS

THE POOR BUILDINGS
/ often think that buildings hate
To have to stand so stiff and straight,
In regulation rows,
With never room to twist about
Or push their elbows in and out,
Or wriggle up their toes.
A sort of wistful sadness lies
Within their staring window eyes,
AS though they longed to change
And be an old tramp barn or shack,
A-sprawling on it's crooked back,
With freckles or the mango.
And when / hear building falls
Or sways upon it's well-built walls
Within the town,
I know the reason is--it's tired
And, with a grim rebellion fired,
1t just-sits doaUn!

FREEING REGION BETWEEN
THE OISE AND SOMME

The capture of Ribecourt by the
French marks an important epoch in
the offensive, which has for it's imme-
diate purpose the freeing Of the region
between the Sonme and the Disc of
the enemy. As gain from the strate-
gic standpoint it ranks with the TAX
ing by the French of the forest and
hill positions between the Matz and the
Disc, which has brought the French
almost to the gates of Lassigny.
Through Ribecourt lies an open route
up the Disc valley to Noyon-a route
by rail, and the big national thor
oughfare, not to mention the canal
which parallels the roadways for the
greater part of the way. Noyon is
only little more than six miles north
east of Ribecourt.
Although they are still encountering
violent resistance, the French are con-
t1nuing to make progress through the
wooded and hilly country between the
Matz and the Disc, where the Ger
mans, from recesses in the forests, on
spurs and in the canyons, are using
machine guns innumerable. Gas also

Notwithstanding the enemy's efforts
however, Chaulnes is receiving q
/ mighty visitation of shells from the
allied guns, and Roye has ben so en-
croached upon that it is now under
heavy crossfire from both the north
and south, and seemingly both towns
ultimately must be evacuated. An
added danger to Roye is the fact that
the French in their operations are
knocking at the door of Lassigny,
about seven miles to the south, and
also are pressing forward eastward to-
ward Noyon in wedge-driving ma
neuver, which not only is outfank-
ing Roye, but bringing Noyon daily
nearer the range of the big guns.
Unofficial reports are to the effect
that the Germans, fearing capture in
the pocket between Roye and Disc, al
ready are rereating along the Disc
valley toward Noyon, and If the state
ments should prove true it is not un-
likely that the entire German battle

violent attacks against the Germans
