Correspondent Says First
Phase Of Great Offensive
Is AT An End
MILLION GERMANS ARE
FOUGHT TO STANDSTILL
Fierce Fighting Is Expected
But Enerny'S Enthusiasm

With the British Armies in France,
Mar. 30.-The first phase of the central
powers great offensive is over, 1 be-
lieve. That the second phase will begin
as soon as Hindenburg s battered hosts
can be relieved and guns brought up,
however, cannot be doubted.
The situation was not materially
changed throughout the British line this
morning, while the Germans like fright
ened moles, their passage over land
checked, were digging in like mad in
places.
About midnight the enemy put down
a heavy trench mortar bompardment
southwest of Cite st. Auguste, near
Lens.
(Cite st. Auguste is about mile due
north of Lens, near Hill TO-, and about
the same distance east and south of
Loos.)
When a hostile party tried to APP
proach the British lines the British
waited until the Germans were fairly
close and then turned loose the machine
guns, and scattered the enemy Ike
magic.
Southeast Of Amiens, on the high
ground between the Luce and -9vrc
rivers, the Germans succeeded in TAX
ing some territory in the ncigliborhc od
of Mezieres and Maison- Blanche, which
they held in force against British
counter attack, though the British
brought bacl, prisoners from under the
very noses Of the enemy s machine guns.
At Rouex, party Of British which
held out long after being cut off, was
daringly withdrawn at sunset.

Sewing Circle with
Much Whispering
We Are All Greatly Indebted to
Those Who Tell Their
Experiences

Before the arrival Of the stork
there is much to talk about. The
comfort of the expectant mother is
the chief topic, and there is sure
to be someone who has used or
knows of that splendid external
help-Mother's Friend.
Nausea, nervousness, bearing
iown and stretching pains and 9TH
ar symptoms SO familiar to many
women are among the dreaded ex-
oeriences thousands of mothers say
they entirely escape by the use of
this famous remedy.
Its influence on the fine network
of nerves and ligaments just be-
meath the skin is wonderful.
BY the regular use of Mothers
Friend during the period the mus
cles are made and kept soft and
elastic; they expand easily. with
out strain, when baby is born and
the pain-and danger at the crisis
is naturally less.
Mothers Friend is for external
use only, is sold by all druggists
and should be used with the utmost
regularity. Write to the Bradfield
Re egulator Co., F69, Lamar Bldg, At
lanta, Ga, for a valuable and in
teresting Motherhood Book" There
is a wealth OF instruction and COM
fort to be derived in reading this
little book. It is plainly written

is true. and if you will recall the men
Of your acquaintance who are drunk
ards and loafers you will find that they
were brought up exclusively under
their mothers influence and had
fathers who were mere figureheads
in the home.
On the other hand. in those families
where the fathers influence predomi-
mates. the children almost invariably
develop into good, useful men and
women. Wherever you see a man
playing with his children, teaching
them to play fair in their games and
to be good sports that can take a loss
without whining;S teaching them self
control. and holding them steady and
down to earth; teaching them perse-
verence and grit, and not to give up
when the long, hard pull comes and
play turns suddenly into work; in
stilling in them in a thousand subtle
ways courage, determination. honor
and honesty-why. you don't need to
ask what sort of men and women
those boys and girls are going to
make.
Somehow, a mother can't teach Just
those things to her children in the
same way that a father can. A
mothers influence is softening and re-
fining. A fathers influence gives a
hardening and stiffening to the moral
fiber. 1t puts the iron of resistance
into a child's soul that it needs to
enable it to fight the stern battle of
| life.
Necessary a s the fathers influence is
on the boys character, it Is equally i'm
portant in developing a girls charac-
ter. Just as close association with his
mother refines a boy. so close asso-
| citation with her father broadens and
! humanizes a girl. and wherever you
| find woman who is extraordinarily
| sane and sensible and who is able tc
take a big. broad, impersonaI view OF
things. you will find a woman who was
| fathers girl in her childhood and who
! had the inestimable benefit of being
formed by her fathers influence.
| Whenever you see a woman whose
whole life is bound up in clothes anC
| show. a woman who is catty, untrust.
worthy and untruthful, you will find
that she is the product of intensive
feminine cultivation and that her faith
er's influence never touched her.
II fathers only realized what a pow.
| er for good their influence is over theil
| children, there would be fewer poor
