Mud has been the determining

ground is soft with the winter rains
it is impossible to move forward

Germans Believed on Defensive
Meanwhile. in the last few days
there has been less discussion of a
German offensive on the western
front. There are observers here who
never have been convinced the Ger

another drive at the channel ports

ADDED BEAUTY TO GARDENS
World owes Debt to Frenchman Who
Improved on the Glory Of the
Lilac Blossom.

One of Frances war gardeners Of
1901 won immortality by studying
his plants, instead of tending his gar
den merely as a way to help out with
the food supply. Like most war gar,
deners, he did not give his attention
exclusively to vegetables but planted
few flowers, and 1t was with these that
he had conspicuous success.
In 1871 Victor Lemoine began his
experiments In cross-fertilizing differ
ent species of lilac. He took up this
work to get his mind away from the
troubles of his country, for a German
garrison was quartered in bis native
town, Nancy, and the rest Of France,
except the doomed provinces of Alsace-
Lorraine, was slowly buying back its
freedom from the same hated pres
ence. Lemoine's sight at that time was
very bad, so he planned and had his
wife execute.
That was the origin of the wondrous
group of shrubs known today through
out the civilized world as French
lilacs," with their great trusses Of
beauteous bloom. It is Lemoine's best
known work, though not his only one.
He recreated the mock orange, the
deutzia, the weigelia, the delphinium,
and a score of other perenniGls and
shrubs.

American military leaders, General
March, chief Of staff, told members Of
the senate military committee. Later
he announced that American troop
shipments had now exceeded 100000
men, insuring the man power to hold
the initiative on the western front.
