In the meantime the Germans were
rushing their reserves forward and
the fighting became more violent, but
at the latest accounts the French sue

and Americans were full of go and
initiative.
The Germans sought war maneu-

but with this difference, that they are
themselves the victims. The French
and their allies are now forcing their
will upon the enemy, who is compell-

PARIS, July 1s.-France Is thrilled by
the news that on the fourth day of the
German offensive French and American
troops snatched the initiative from the
enemy by surprise and soundly beat
fifteen Of his divisions on thirty-ihile
front.
It would be difficult to exaggerate the
cheering impress on public opinion given
by Gen. Mangin's mastery stroke. It
is felt that Thursday marked the ebb Of
Germany's offensive power. The official
statements have been brief and discreet,
recording only in general terms the
most definite results. but when the full
details are made public 1t will be seen
how sxillfully Gen. Foch has outgener-
aled the enemy, who has been puffed up

Enemy Not vigilant.

Reuters correspondent at French
headquarters in France suggests that
the complete surprise Of the enemy by
the Franco-American attack was due
partly TO lack Of vigilance. owing to
the violent thunderstorms and the
rain and wind which swept the whole
country between the Aisne and Marne
during the night. The German first
lines. the Correspondent says, made
weak resistancS and many prisoners
were taken in the frst hour Of the at
tack.
NThe correspondent predicts sitter
fighting when unused German troops
beyond the Aisne are brought up.
The operation may be regarded as

envy salient between tho Aisne and

tie. Similar damage to the Black
range and in the Mogolon mountains
makes it evident that total of at least
$50 head OF cattle as well as a large
number of sheep were killed by bears.
These facts are worthy of considera-
ton, the federal specialists point out,
in view of the general and concerted
efforts now under way on the part of
sportsmen to enact legislation that
will prevent trapping of bears or
hunting them with the aid of dogs
Ninety Per Cent of Prairie Dogs Killed
Between April and August, cooper
alive work in exterminating prairie
dogs conducted over $4,000 acres of
infested land. more than sixty tons Of
poisoned grain being used and 3,403
landowners assisting in the work. An
average of over 30 per cent of the
prairie dogs on the treated areas have
been killed; in many places extermi-
nation has been complete. Practically
all the crop areas subject to damage
ty prairie dogs have been treated I;
amounting to 400, 900 acres. The value
of this work is evidenced from the
fact that on the untreated land the
total loss of the crop, or at least so
per cent loss often occurs as result
of prairie dog infestation. 1t is esti-
mated that the crop saving effected
this year from prairie dog control
amounts to approximately $500.0000
On the range lands of New Mexico
$4,000 acres have been treated with
poison. while the plans are complete
to extend this control as rapidly as
possible over 100000 acres. AS a
rule, the average net cost of initial
treatment on range areas has been
less than 3 l-2 cents an acre.
