Plan to Crush

Plan to Crush
Each succeeding day reveals the
plan Of the Germans absolutely to
crush the Allies lines west of Cam
brai, terrain which could not be
defended by Won Hinlenburr year
lTn.
Each "fficial repurs show.. rnat this
sector IS valueless f.om military
standpo1t and Tint the Germ - have
pa'h L rlible pee for their advance
to the Ines established by the Allies
during the first two years of warfare.
1t is officially reported that seventy
German division. or $4,000 men.
have taken part in the fighting. OBJ
servers at the front say that the Ger
man losses have been frightful and
that the enemy has lost from 10 to 20
per cent of his men by the most con-
servative estimates.
Repetition of 1914
The situation as it stands seems to
be repetition of the dash of Gen.
yon Kluck on Paris in 1914, when the
German artillery and transport could
not keep up with the infantry and the
French were able to turn back the in
vaders at the Marne. Reports from
various sectors in the last two days
have indicated that the German in
fantry, relying on it's mass attacks,
has fought without the customary as
sistance of artillery. TO bring up
heavy guns requires time and the
German advance will steadily become
more painful and costly.
While the German line of communi-
cations have been growing longer, the
British have constantly moved nearer
their base of supplies.
On Italian Front
There has been continued activity
on the Italian front, but no attacks
of Importance have been made by Ell
thcr side of this thcatcr. The Amer
ican lines in the Luncville and Toul
sectors have been bombarlcd once
more, but no infantry fighting is re-
ported there.
North of the Somme battlefield
there have been no engagements of
significance. The British troops in
Palestine have captured the village of
Es- Salt.
The Russian Bolshcviki are report
ed to have recaptured the city of
Kherson from the Germans.
German Claims
Berlin, via London, March 26-The
number of guns captured by the Ger
mans in the battle now in progress
has increased, to G03, admy headquar-
ters announced today.
Biaches, Barleaux and Etalon have
been captured by the German forces.
More than la tanks were found
lying in captured positions, it. is add
ed.
The Germans are standing on the
heights to the north of Moyon. They
captured Busy, Bibucourt, Biefillels,
Grevillers, Irles and Miraumont, and
crossed the River Ancrc.
Since the beginning of the battle,
says the statement, ninety-three en-
emy airplanes and six captive bal
looms have been brought down.
British Driven Back
British troops just brought forward
attacked the German lines violently
from the direction Of Albert. They
were driven back, the reports state.

GERMAN AGENTS In MEXICO.

1t is noticeable that practically every
Latin-American republic. with the ex-
ception OF Salvador and Mexico, has
made plain its stand on the European
war. The center of German activity
in Latin-America Is currently report
ed to be in Salvador, but that coun-
try is so closely surrounded by re-
publics which have either declared
their allegiance to the allies, or have
so plainly manifested their sympa-
thies, that German agents in Saliva
dor have been able to do little except
prepare soft places on which similar
agents, kicked out Of other Of the
Spanish republics may alight In Mex
ico, however, the situation is slightly
different. The area OF Mexico is so
great and the isolation Of its. cities go
perfect. that kaiserism has thrived
there to an alarming degree. First
real steps against the pro-German
propaganda in Mexico were taken In
New Orleans in November, when eight
Mexicans, nominally representatives of
the Felix Diaz revolutionary party,
were arrested at the headquarters Of
the junta, and held for investigation
by agents Of the Department of JUS
tice. The head of the Diaz junta In
New Orleans is Gen. Manuel Velas-
quez, former federal army officer un-
der Porfirio Diaz, and who recently
completed d tour of the Diaz juntas
in Ell Paso, San Antonia, Laredo, and
other Western points.

return to normal conditions Is to be

OF work through the holiday observ-

purchasing power of many consumers.
With the consequent diminution OF re-
tail buying. and with the delays in
shipments resulting from the trans
portation congestion. complaints Of
less satisfactory collections are rather
more common.
But while transactions generally
are smaller in volume, II remains the
fact that in some lines business is only
limited BY the inability of producers
to book more orders. and there are
many indications, notably In the West
and South, of a disposition to provide
literally for future requirements.

TO LOOK FOR A WIFE.

A good housewife will look at least
two square meals ahead Of her nose.
The modern system Of marketing dur

fine art that q youth contemplating
matrimony should HE to the market
place for selecting a bride. My boy,
when you see a maiden pinching,
smelling and pricing q soupbone, you
may rely on her sense Of economy
for she is looking forward not less
than two meals. The soupbone. when
cooked, is merely food in the rough
or primitive state. Its choicest by
products are realized after the bouillon
stage. Thereafter comes the goulash.
the croquettes, and the luscious hash.
By all means avoid the girl who
orders choice cuts of porterhouse or
English mutton chops. She will make
you no good helpmate. But the girl
who selects the chuck or neck pieces
or the tail end Of ham bone and
renders them into dainty palatable
dishes is the one you want So take
my advice and seek the market place
when you feel that you have had
your fill of bachelor loneliness and
wish a taste of wedlock. Follow
SUCH a girl around until you are per
fectly satisfied, then nail her.
