 The Germans have been able to gain Q local advantage in Flanders. vet surveying the combat situation as a whole it can be ultimately stated that their enormous sacrifices and heaped- up casualties have hitherto been barren Of primary results.

American Forces Outnumbsred

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Saturday, April 2o.-Gernan forces which attacked the American positions west of the Renners forest, northwest of Foul, today came across No Mans Land in three waves. They had been especially trained for this operation. The Americans, although greatly outnumbered, fought for every inch of the way, giving ground slowly and pouring a deadly machine gun, rifle and automatic fire into the ad- vancing enemy.
 The German barrage began just be- fore sunrise, after a heavy lombard ment on the American positions in tho course of the night. The Germans used an unusually large number of gas shells.
 4 counter barrage by the Americans caught the advancing Germans and killed a number before they reached the American trenches.
 The Germans entered Seicheprey in the forenoon, but were driven out again by a counter attack of the American infantry.

ALLIES POSITION MUCH IMPROVED BY
 THREE DAYS REST
Republican A.P. Leased Wlrel

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 21.-(By the Associ- ated Press)-This was the third day of comparative quiet on the British front on Account of the Hull. Time has worked to the advantage of the allies, and their position has grown cOntinu- ally better.
 In the northern field and in the south. French troops have taken their places beside the British, and the allied forces are not unwilling for q renewal of the crucial conflict of the war.
 Premier Clemenceau visited the al- lied soldiers this morning and was greatly pleased with conditions He also was high in his praise for the magnificent defense the British made.
 The British had severe time at Kcmmel April r. Some of them were in the defeuscs on the hill and others had been drawn up about the south ern base on an elevation and told that they must hold this line at all costs. The Germans swept forward against them in waves. but they clung to their posts for hours. The positions about Kemmel were retained, but a little south of the mill the Germans pushed in and surrounded Donegal farm, which Was being held bya subaltern. and F Tommies.
 When the French came up on the 18th Donegal was No Mans land and no word had been received concerning it's little garrison. The British were not i'd sufficient force to bring relief. Tho French waited only to learn the situation before organizing a big raid.
 An attack on Donegal was immedi- ately carried out and the poilus found the subaltern and his dozen men dead. and about them were the bodies of 50 Germans.
 German Prisoners Taken
 The French brought back with them a number of German prisoners from beyond the farm. This piece of chiv- airy spread among the British and drove the entering wedge for the friendship which followed. During the night the British pushed forward and improved their line east of Riez du
 age. and they also carried out a satisfactory movement at Hinges bridge.
 An attempted enemy advance against the British positions on Remembers spur, northeast of Ypres, was stopped by artillery fire. East of Arras the Germans tried to rush some gun pits that were captured by the British yes terday, but the attack was repulsed.
 Parties of the enemy are continu- allN trying to get over the abandoned area north of Ypres, but have been stopped.
 The airmen continue to do great damage over the enemy areas. Friday night direct hits were obtained with bombs on three trains standing in the Chaunes Junction. and an ammunition train at Rosiercs was brown up.

Entente Forces Land In Russian Port to Rein force British Marines
 Working With Bolsheviki
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

MOSCOW, Sunday, April 14.-British and French troops have landed at Mourmansk on the northeast coast of kola peninsula in the Arctic ocrean, to reinforce d British marine detachment sent ashore several weeks ago. The entente allied troops are cooperating with the bolshevik forces in protecting the Mourman coast and the railway against attacks that are being made by Finnish White Guards.
 Russian Red Guards also are acting with British and French troops under the direction of the Mourman society war council, which consists of one Eng lishman, one Frenchman and one Rus sian.
 Finnish White Guards have attacked the Mourman railway near Rem, 270 miles south of Mourmansk and 200 miles west of Archangel, but have been repulsed by the entente forces. The boshevik and foreign troops are acting in harmony.
 No previous mention of the fact that the British marines had been sent ashore in northern Russia to co-oper- ate with the Russian bolshevik troops has been permitted by the censor. The British and French troops which l have landed to reinforce the British marines are protecting the railroads from the interior of Russia to the two main sea outlets in tho north-the ports of Mourmansk and Archaugel. At
 both these bases large quantities of supplies, some of which had been ! shipped from the United States before the Russian revolution, have been as- | sembled.
 | In attacking the Russian railroad
 near Rem, on the west coast of the 1 White sea, the Finnish White Guard, which recently has received the sup port of the German authorities, must
 have pushed across the Finnish border

 Further expansion of the army, de- Velopmcnt of war production programs and appropriation questions are among subjects upon which Mir. Baker is eX- pected to submit recommendations to the senate and house military com mittces. There have been intimations in some quarters that President Will son. in a special address to congress- might present recommendations for future military legislation.
 Of the banding army measures, the bill changing draft quotas from state populations to the number of men in class one will be sent to conference to- morrow by the senate. The house probably will pass tho senate bill eX- tending the draft law to youths reach ing 2l years since June j. 1917.
 Legislation to curb spies and dis loyalists also will receive much atten- tion during the week.
 The bill appropriating $600OO00O to provide housing accommodations for war workers will be called up tomor- row in tho senate for vote and with passage regarded as assured.
 NitAthe exception of pressing mis- Cellanoous matters. including a final vote on S2.50 wheat. rejected by the house. the senate will devote itself to the Ovcrman bill.
 Several banking and currency bills are slated to pass the house during the week. including the silver bill of Sena- tor Pittmau of Nevada. which the senate has passed. fixing a minimum price of sl per ounce for silver and providing for melting of S350,000,0 of silver dollars in the treasury.

Just what the Germans are planning for the future on the long line north ward from La Bassee to Ypres, where everywhere they have met during the last week with a stone wall of resist ance, has not yet become apparent. No where have they thrown down the gauntlet and offered further battle. The only fighting in which the men of either side left their trenches was near RobecG, northwest of La Bassee, where Field Marshal Haig's men threw out the enemy from several advanced posi- tions.
 Many Hun Losses
 Evidences of the losses the Germans have sustained in the new offensive daily are becoming more apparent.
 That a great sea battle is in prospect at an early date seems probable. Fol- lowing up their recent foray into the Cattegat, where they destroyed. Ger man trawlers, British naval forces have penetrated into Helgoland blight and offered long range battle to the Ger man warships, which retired behind the mine fields. One of the enemy des- troyers was hit.
 British and French troops have landed on the Kola peninsula, project ing into the Arctic ocean, and are CO., operating with the bolshevik troops to protect the Mourman coast against the Finnish White Guard This operation probably has in view in the safeguard ing of ArchangeI, Russias principal port on the Arctic.

The German high command having been unsuccess- ul in piercing the British front Flanders and separating the British and French armies, has essayed a stroke against the Americans and the French northwest of ou and here also Teton strategy has failed utterly to bring it's plans to fruton.
 Although the Germans attacked ill with great y superior numbers of men, the Americans and French have held all of their positions and inflicted heavy losses What gains made in the initial onsaughts have been entirely retrieved and Sunday night saw the American and French lines restored.

courGges Livestock Movement.

Announcement is made that
the Cumberland Telephone COM
pany has contributed $4,000 as a
prize to be competed for by the
members of the Boys Pig Clubs
in Mississippi. the prize to be
awarded at the State Fair next
fall.
The company is making this
contribution as a part Of it's gen.
eral effort to encourage the live
stock and diversification move
ment inlthe South, and in the
belief that there is no better way
to encourage this movement than
by helping to educate the coming
generation Of farmers.
A similar prize was given by
the company last year and was
won by Frank Tate of Clinton,
who secured a Berkshire boar pig
in April, 1917, and fed it on
wheat shorts and milk three
times day until October Goth,
when it weighed z76 pounds, an
increase from II pounds on
April oath.
The pig won the first prize in
the County Pig Club and was
sent to the State Fair, where it
won first prize in the Berkshire
class and second prize as a Grand
Champion of all breeds.
Altogether, this boy, counting
his prize money and the value of
pigs offered, Gle ared over $40. 90
while the boar itself is probably
worth a good deal more than
that, and he declares that he is
going to keep on and do it again,
intending, as he says, ito win
more prizes and raise better
