the French are almost on the crest
of Lassigny Massif, where heavy
fighting is in progress. The only
corner Of Massif the Germans appear
to hold is a high hump, rising : few
feet above the French positions. The
French are strongly attacking the
hump with every prospect that Il
will end in their favor. When the
French get their guns on top OF
Massif the enemy's communication

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1S-Present-
ing picture of the Anglo-French
plan of attack between the Ancre
and the Acre, the German semi-of-
ficial news agency in dispatch to
Berlin says that it was the intention
of the allies to overrun the Ger
man defense system along this
front, which was only weakly forti-
fled. 1t says there has been no time
to construct permanent defenses.
The dispatch reads.
Under protection of a short but
extremely intense bombardment the
entente armies tried to cut lanes
through the German infantry and ar
tillery lines by tank squadrons. Then
the cavalry supported by tanks was
to be rushed through the infantry
lines in order to reach on the first
day of the offensive a high road 1e.
tween Peronne and Roye.
Failure of this plan was due to
the heroic resistance of trench gar.
risons which at many points held
their positions until surrounded. In
the hurricance Of fire all telegraph
and telephone communications broke
down. Signal rockets were invisible
in the thick fog and while the gun
ners continued to put down a bar

LONDON, Aug. 49, The French

cross fire and abandonment would
make it difficult for the enemy to

French gains at Lassigny Massif
have forced the Germans to eyacu-

Disc valley and probably will force
further excavations almost immedi-
ately. Noyon win come under fire of
the French guns as soon as artillery

THE RED CROSS NEEDS YOUR AS
SISTANCE In THEIR
WORK.

We have over 80 patients at the
we believe we are doing a good work
and preventing the spread of the con-
tagion in u county. 1t is under
the direction of very efficient nurses
and everything possible is being
done for the patients and every pre-
caution is being taken to protect
those caring for them. The nur SEES
and other helpers that we have th,e ere
have worked day and night, and ne
worn out with their splendid service
for others. We must take care of
the sick in our own community, as
well as care for the boys over the re.
1t is as much the patriotic duty of
Madison women to help in this work
as it is for them to help in other Y
relief work.
We are very greatly in need of sew
eral helpers, young girls or won en-,
who can assist the nurses in the m an
fold duties that devolve upon them.
Women of Madison, will you respond
to this call for help? Are you W i'll
ing to assist in this labor of mercy
to help your own friends and neigh
bors? Many have volunteered, hut
they are exhausted and worn ont and
we must have more help or our pa
tients will suffer. Will any who ere
willing to aid us call me up and vol
unteer their services? We do not
want nurses or those experienced in
caring for the sick, we just want
common sense, willing women, who
are willing to do as they + told.
Will you do your bit in this great
work? Are you going to show your
mettle and help us in this time of
need? Unless we have more help
we shall be obliged to refuse TO re-
ceive patients, for we cannot give
them care without proper assistance.
May I not have 20 volunteers tomor-
row.-H. III. Holdridge, Cou nty

exploded with terrific force, the
damage will reach several thousand
dollars. The force Of the explosion
was so great that buildings in differ
ent parts of town shook and dishes
on shelves ratified. The heavy water
tank also was lifted from its foun-
dation. At first 1t was believed
there had been an explosion of dyna-
mite in the building and a suspicious
acting stranger who was lettering
about the railway depot was taken
before the council of defense, but
nothing could be learned connec ling
him with the explosion and he was
released. The cause of the explosion
is a mystery. Fortunately no one
CHANGED to be i'm the building at the
time or there would have been loss

TUBERCULOSIS
CAMPAIGN OF STATE LIVESTOCK
COMMISSION GETS
RESULTS.

Pierre, Nov. 5.-The state live
stock commission in its campaign for
the eradication of tuberculosis among
the cattle of the state is meeting a
hearty response among cattle own
ers, and especially among those Of
pure bred herds. Agreements for ac-
credited herds have been signed by
35 owners of pure bred cattle and
about $50 of daley cattle.
Herds from which tuberculosis has
beer eiedicated through the work OF
the department are accredited by
both the state and federal depart
ments, and from such herds inter-
state shipments can be made without
testing at the time of shipment.
Strict inspection of cattle shipped
into the state and certificates on file
in the department show 128,040 head
of cattle shipped into the state the
last fiscal year, and all of these ex-
cept range cattle from states where
tuberculosis is known not to exist,
were required to pass the tuberculo-
sis test. The state pays indemnity
for cattle condemned on account of
tuberculosis, and the federal govern
ment is arranging to pay additional
indemnity.
