An interesting feature Of the advance
today In the Merville region where the
German officers seemed imbued with
the idea OF getting their forces safely
out OF the path Of the British Is that

General Won Bernardo, who Is a writer,

only way to tight is TO advance.
Some light on the boches' spirit or

retired too far was ordered to attack
Puisle,Ix. north Of Albert. The regiment
refused. preparing a written protest

There are twelve rows, and Hobbs
and Snobbs each plant and cover
six rows Hobbs plants a row in
twenty minutes and covers It In
sixty minutes. Snobbs plants in
forty minutes and covers in the
same time. As each earns the same
amount each must do half the plant
ing and half OF the covering, as
| there is no way of determining the
| relative values OF the two kinds Of
| work. Each must therefore take the
| same time to plant and cover a row.
As Snobbs takes twenty minutes
more TO cover than Hobbs takes TO
plant Hobbs must take twenty
minutes more to cover than SnObbs
takes TO plant, but Hobbs time for
covering is half AS much again as
Snobb's for planting. so that Snobb's
time for planting is forty minutes
per row.

 FOURTH OF JULY
Celebrations Take Place In Every Section of Coun-
 try on War Anniv.

Washington, April 5.-The opening tomorrow of the American Third cam paign for popular war credit on the anniversary of the declaration of war, promises to resemble Independence day as an occasion for celebrations. Reports tonight to headquarters of the Third Liberty loan told of enthusiastic preparations for parades and bond fires. public meetings an dloyalty speakers to drive home appeals for subscriptions to government bonds. In many states it is legal holiday and in. scores of cities business is to be sus- pended part of the day to assist in the celebration. Indications tonight were that only a small part of the three billion dollar war credit would be subscribed tomorrow. Loan or ganizations possibly will be too busy promoting spectacular features to ac- tually take in subscriptions, and that the real soliciting would start Monday, Small taoWns promise to be notable exceptions, however, for many of these are anxious to fill their entire quota of subscriptions within a few hours after 9 o'clock, the official opening time ,and thereby win for their com munities the Third Liberty loan hon or flag. President Wilson will speak at Baltimore the evening. Secretary McAdoo at Philadelphia in the after noon. Vice-President Marshal at St. Louis, and Secretary Daniels at Cleve' land
