BRITISH BATTLE LINE
GROWS MUCH STRONGER
Continued from Page l.)

Wytschaete, the enemy's position is
most uncomfortable.
THE German outposts were un-
able to advance beyond the north
side OF Meteren. 1t cannot be said
that the general situation is less
anxious, but there is undoubtedly
increasing confidence in the unity OF
command. There still is expecta-
ton Of renewed thruSts at Amiens
and the French correspondents
speak of the enormous enemy con
centration between Arras and
AmienS.
Meanwhile, the enemy propagan-
dists are sending broadcast neutral
reports speaking Of the depression
and weariness OF the United King
dom and dominions, which are
strongly at variance with the real
feeling here. Germany itself IS
preaching the necessity OF huge in
IDENTITIES from the western powers
in addition to anneXations."

GROUND GLASS IN FOOD.

Don't be afraid to eat. 1t IS true
enough that there is the will to conf
NIT the great crime OF which many
nervous persons among us are
afraid. Agents Of the kaiser who
have attempted to spread disease
germs, who have massacred prison
ers in cold blood, who have commit
ted a thousand atrocities, many Of
them too vile to be mentioned in
print-such willing servants Of ali
utterly unscrupulous master are
quite capable of poisoning the Am
erican people wholesale il they
could; for, according to their ac-
cepted theory OF war, enemy non
combatants are as fair game as en-
envy soldiers in arms and all methods
are Legitimate. They would ii they
could, but fortunately they can't.

tion OF activity by the artillery on
both sides.
The attacks against the line in the
KENNEL sector. the repulse of which
was reported today, took place yes
terday morning. In minor enter
prises at various points during the
night, the British captured a few
prisoners and some machine guns,
The enemy launched further at

The statement follows:
"The hostile attacks reported 10

repulsed, and other attacks launch

Regiments from six different
German divisions are now known to
have been engaged in the unsuccess-

The fighting at Giyenchy, as on
other parts OF this front, ended in
the complete repulse OF the enemy

and costly assaults, was only able to

THE BIRTH OF A RED CROSS
LIE

For several months the country
has listened to the false statement
that the Red Cross is selling to sol
diers sweaters, socks and other arti-
cles knitted by the women OF the
United States. Pro-Gcrman sym
pathizers have been active in cir
culatug the story. Denying the
canard only had the effect OF lend
ing it dignity
Now comes Private Peat and tells
where and how the story started.
AT least he tells how it started once
and he admits that he started it
unintentionally but nevertheless Ell
fectively. 1t is possible that others
started it the same way.
1t seems that Peat's folks at
home sent him three fine sweaters,
sweaters closely knitted and warm
as Canadian women know they are
needed. Peat could not wear three
such warm garments simulanteous-
ly, two companions needed them
Peat needed little money. He had
been unlucky and aver-confident in
a poker game and trench etiquette
requires that such obligations be
promptly settled because Bosche
bullet or German gas may indeh-
nitely postpone it. SO money and
sweaters changed hands.
Peat wrote to his mother about
it. She was glad that the garments
she had knitted so carefully would
keep some soldier warm and she
was not deeply interested in tn,
processes by which the sweaters
reached the ultimate consumer. But
she mentioned the story at a meet
ing of the Red Cross chapter. 4
listener repeated the story, begin
ming, Mrs. Peat told US at the Rec
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-04-19
MONEY is NEEDED.

Money is needed needed con-
stantly so that the war may be
prosecuted with the greatest
vigor. The men over there must
be fed. To carry the food, ships
are needed. To defend their lives
the men must have guns and am
munition. They must have
clothes and bedding and housing
and billions.
Shall we argue, quibble, de-
bate?
The call is for funds to feed
our boys, to save their lives how
shameful then to stop for little
talk about the causes OF the
war, about the theories of paci-
fists, and the failures Of the boil
shcyiki.

The importation of supplies that
might be available from the Ukraine,
Won Eynern declared, is connected
with great difficulties and no exten-
sive imports can be counted on be-
fore June. Even then the fact must
be considered that transportation
possibilities by rail will be on a mar
row scale and the capacity of the
Danube waterway also will be lin
tied.
