British Army Headquar-
 ters in France. March %
 Vigorous counter attacks
 late yesterday restored
 some of the positions that
 the British had abandoned
 temporarily. One of the
 most brilliant British coun-
 ter attacks occurred at
 DOiqnies. The British ad-
 vanced with infantry and
 fleets of tanks at 7 D. m.
 and after fierce fighting
 drove out the enemy.
 British Army Headquarters in France, March 22-(By the Associated Press)-The fight ing still is continuing, but the first stage of the offensive has passed. The enemy has failed badly in the execution of his program, as is attested by cap tured documents showing what he planned to do in the early hours of his offensive.
 The exact British line cannot be made public at present, as it might furnish the enemy with valuable in- formation. Last night was fairly quiet along the front. This morning the Germans were bombing in the region of Croiselles. There were indica- tions that they intended to continue their attacks today.
 The weather is cold and bleak, A heavy mist makes air reconnaissances impossible. This is of advantage to the British, as the enemy is deprived of greatly needed aerial observa- tions
 The Germans in many sections yes terday attacked in three waves of infantry, followed up by shock troops. As a result they suffered very heavy losses. The heavily massed German artillery has been badly hammered by the British guns.
 If this proves to be the great Ger man offensive that has been predict ed, the preliminary round appears to have gone in favor of the Entente, al- though, as the official report points out, further heavy fighting still is to be expected.
 The tremendous artillery battle was heard more distinctly in Kent last night. Houses continually were shaken as the result of the violent concussions.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THE
BOYS.

We see from the Greenville News
that a movement is on foot in that
city to arrange Christmas present
for every soldier in the Goth division
The plan is to raise the money and
send it in a lump sum to Red Cross
division near the boys and let the
Red Cross see to it that every man IN
the division is given a, present at
Christmas.
This is a beautiful spirit and We
feel sure that there are many in
Newberry who would be glad to con-
tribute something to this cause, and
they should be glad of the privilege.
Those of us who are at home can
scarcely appreciate what 1t is to
spend this glad time Of peace and good
will to men thousands of miles awav
from home and loved ones, and what
a pleasant feature it will be to them
to know that they are remembered at
the Christmas time. Many of the
Newberry boys are in this division.
If there are any Newberrians who
would like to contribute to this cause
they may write to the editor of the
Greenville News and we are sure he]
will take pleasure in telling them how
they may do so.

HOLED TEE SHOT is
REAL FEAT IN GOLF
LIoyds Say Odds Are 10000 to
| Against Trick.
Feat Accomplished by Pierre ProaI at
Old Seabright Course and Again
at Rumson After Lapse of
Seventeen Years.

When Pierre A. Proal made hole
in one at the old Seabright golf course
some seventeen years ago he felt that
he had accomplished the feat of life
time. Since then PrOal, playing regu-
larly season after season, has made
Thousands Of strokes, but not until the
other day at Rumson did he manage to
coax another tee shot into the hole.
This happened at the short second
hole, only a mashie shot, says a New
York dispatch to Indianapolis Star.
Proal played hole after hole with lit
tie deliberation, but, oddly enough, he
gathered in two twos during the course
of the same round.
Every time one is recorded the
question of odds is brought up. On
one occasion he problem was put up
tC Lloyds in London, the decision be-
ing that the chances were 10000 to /
against the feat being ac4 emphasized.
Had Charles l.. Fletcher, who keeps
track of practically every round he has
ever played, made the sixteenth hole
in one at Seabright, nearly a score of
years ago and duplicated the perform
ance at the second hole on the Rumson
course the other day, it would only
have required a question of minutes
TO glance back over the cards to tell
how many chances at possible ones he
mad had.
How many rounds of golf Proal has
had during the last seventeen years is
&C course purely a matter of conjec-
ture. The former Harvard man doesn't
know himself. However, he plays quite
regularly and it is reasonable 70 as
sumo he has averaged a couple of
rounds a week; good deal more than
that in the summer. less in the off sea-
son. So to carry the analysis further,
100 rounds a year for seventeen years
would make LOO rounds. Granting
that courses over which he played had
three short or possible Oneshot holes.
which would be fair proposition,
Proal would have had 300 chances,
since he made his first one-spot when
a kid at Seabright.
All of which may not be n very cheer
FIJI outlook for the thousands who have
not been admitted to the army of
'cners." though it should not be for
gotten that there is no hard and fast
rule, and that history records an in
stance where a man made two ones in
