WHEN BRITISH HIT
THE HUN LEGIONS
TEUTONS COULD NOT WITH
STAND THE CRASHING
WEIGHT OF STEEL.

British Army Headquarters IN
France, Sunday March 3l-Ihe last
"a hours continued unfayorable to
the aggressive Germans along the
British section of the new battle
front. and was a strikingly good pc
Rod for the defendcnts. This morn
ing the British were holding their
entire line with strength and they
had smashed numerous heavy Ger
man attacks at various points, and
had taken the initiative at several
places successfully.
The most intense fighting con
tinued south of the Somme in the
zone where the French have been
making such a gallant stand. The
outstanding feature Of the conflict on
the northern end of the front is that
the British again have killed a great
number of the enemy, which, despite
its harsh sound, is what will end the
war.
Today the Britishsinitiated a Tor
ward movement about Feuchy
copse, east Of Arras. They launched
a local attack at 3 o'clock this morn
ing and pressed it so vigorously that
they reclaimed a stretch of territory
1850 yards long and averaging about
200 yards in depth, This success
mad tactical advantages, but they
were small compared with the fact
that the British were able, after the
past ten days of gruelIing work, to
undertake an offensive operation.
British Flag Flies Dehantly.
South of the Somme, where there
has been so much hard fighting, the
British appear to have the situation
well in hand and the town hall OF
Moreuil, about which sanguinary
fstruggles have been swaying, at last
reports, still was flying the British
flag defantly from the steeple.
One of the most costly attacks the
enemy attempted yesterday was be-
tween Morelancourt and the Som

MOTHERS DAY
COMES ON MAY Z.
HONOR THE BEST WOMAN
THAT EVER LIVED,
YOUR MOTHER

Philadelphia, Pa, April May
y, the second Sunday in May, IS
Mothers Day.
"In honor of the best mother that
ever lived--your mother was one
of the slogans under which the Gel
ebration OF this day was inaugural
ed by Miss Anna Jones, OF Phila-
delphia, several years ago. The OBJ
jcct, to bring about worldwide rec
ognition of specified day as one for
universal emphasis Of the love men
and women owe to a good mother,
has been accorded a response from
practically every civilized nation.
But this year. Mothers Day is to
have a significance even deeper than
formerly. With the assistance Of
military and naval authorities in the
United States, with the country's
ships at sea and commanding her
troops abroad, and with the aid Of
the Red Cross and Young Mems
Christian Association officials, the
day is to be one for an interchange
of greetings between mothers at
home and their boys with the col
.ors.
By men in foreign service, it is
hoped, the day will be partly deyot-
ed to letter writing. Congress has
made the day a national flag day.
Secretaries Baker and Daniels and
General Pershing have iniorsed the
innovation to be introduced this
year on the theory that nothing so
stimulates the morale of fighting
men as letters from home.
Honoring mothers or their mem
ory through some distinct act of
kiudness-a visit, a letter. or the
wearing of a white carna.ion-are
the marks of Mothers Day observ-
ancc which have been widely adopt
ed in North and South America,
England, Europe and in Australia.
The white carnation has been rec
ognized as the special flower for
Mothers Day. Its whitencss is held
symbolic of purity; its form, beau-
ty; its fragrance, love; its wide
field Of growth. charity; is lasting
qualities, faithfulness-the cmbodi-
ment of the virtues of motherhood
In her annual announcement OF
the day Miss Jarvis says, at is not
day of idle sentimentalism. 1t
eyokes a renewal Of allegiance tc
our highest ideals Of womanhood
and will contribute to the sanctity
of home and motherhood and the
strengthening Of domestic and ma
| tional integrity.
Observance Of the day is to be
urged in schools, colleges, churches
fraternal societies, orphanages anC
| prisons. In recent years, mayors O
many cities and towns Throughout
the United States have issued pro
clamations calling for general OBJ.

The results of the fighting on the
British front south OF the Somme
during the past two days have been
satisfactory. Heavy German attacks
on both sides of the Luce River
Friday forced the British to fall
back somewhat. Friday night the
enemy pushed forward and pene-
tratcd a large wood northeast Of
Moreuil, which created an uncom-
Portable situation for the defenders.
Saturday the British decided to
ATTEMPT to restore the lines and cav
alry was sent out for the purpose of
clearing the wood and re-establish-
mig the positions north of Moreuil.
There was not a hitch in the pro-
gram. The cavalry swept through
the forest and forced the enemy to
fall back, not only here but farther
TO the north.
North Of the Luce the enemy yes
terday morning attacked in force
along the British line between War
fusec and Marcelcaye. This assault
was preceded by a vigorous artillery
bombardmcnt. The cavalry again
came into play, and by 10 o'clock the
Germans were compelled to admit
defeat and to retire with large cas-
ualties.
A little later the enemy again put
down a tremendous barrage between
Warfusee and the Somme, and after
two hours of terrific gun fire ad-
vanced in masses. They came
against more cavalry and met a sim
liar fate, the British line remaining
