MERCHANTS PICNIC
ENJOYABLE DAY SPENT AT
PIERZ FISH LAKE ON
WEDNESDAY

Tho merchants picnic at Pierz Fis]
lake Wednesday was quite well attend
ed by the business men, employees and
number Of the farmers in the vicinity
The stores of the city were closed fo
the occasion.
The program was opened about
O'Clock in the afternoon by a short ad
dress by Mayor Bergheim. He said tha
he was pleased to see these picnics at
tended by people both from the city
and the country as it worked for a bet
ter cooperation, and hoped that Ii
would be an annual affair. Mr.. Berghein
took occasion to remind the audience
that the county fair would soon be here
and that they all owed it their hearty
support, and felicitated the farmers on
what they were doing for the govern
ment in the way Of raising larger crops
He called attention to the problems OF
the war and asked that all get back OF
the next Liberty loan so that they
might assist in supporting the grand
est army of any in the world-the army
that could make the German run, and
would win democracy for the world. He
touched also on the homecoming of our
boys and said that we should prepare to
have industries where they could be en-
ployed, and suggested that liberty bonds
bought now be invested for this purpose
after the war. Especially would this be
necessary in the cities as the farmers
are better situated to care for the re-
turning soldiers.

respect to this Maysville hero, who
has made the supreme gift-his life
for his country, by attending these
services. He was a Woodworking boy
here, the sole support and comfort of
a widowed mother, and the sacred
portals of st. Patrick's Church, the
church he loved so we'll, should be
filled to overfowing by al! of our citi-
zens, regardless of their religious be-
liefs, and show that his life was held
as dear to us as any of the other
boys who have made the supreme gift
to their country.

pose Of Germans to
Cut Apart Allied
Armies In Drive
for Channel
Ports.

Washington, June 1.-THE present
lull on the battle front in France only
presages a new and more violent
storm of attack on the Allied lines in
military opinion here The impress
sion is rapidly Strengthening that the
stage is almost set for renewal of the
German main thrust at the British
army around Amiens with the chan
mel ports as the objective.
Belief has never wavered among the
majority of officers here that the real
purpose of the German general staff
has been from the first to cut the AL
lied armies apart by drive that
would carry them to the channel; that
arrival at that goal, massed attacks
would be hurled against the northern
sector for the purpose of destroying
the British army, while strong de-
fense was maintained against the
French to the south. The thrusts at
Paris have been looked upon as well
planned and executed feints designed
to weaken the Amiens front before the
final effort should be made there.
On no other tn fry can these obser-
vers explain the sequence of German
operations in the great battle; and so
on other basis, they say, can the cam
paign of defense waged by General
Foch be understood.
It is a battle in which the ultimate
reserves will win the day, as the fight
is seen here If the German general
staff considers the present situation
along the vast front stretching from
Ypres on the north to Rheims on the
south, promising for the final effort,
the ultimate German reserve is now
being assembled for the attack while
fighting fronts take breath.
Some observers believe further eff
forts are to be expected to flatten out
the Compeign salient completely be-
fore the main attack is resumed. If
so, they argue that the next flare of
activity will come along the front of
the Compeign salient where he fight
ing has just paused momentarily.
Simultaneous assaults from the north
near Autheuil, from the southeast be-
tween Chateau Thierry and villers
Cotterets forest, and from the east
ward, between scissors and the for
est probably will be launched, 1t is
thought, II Compeigne Is regarded as
vitality necessary to future German
moves. In that case, the American
force above Chateau Thierry stands
directly in the path of one attack.
Other observers are almost con-
vinced, however, that the situation not
only permits but demands that the
