five days and was stopped north of

inflicted upon the Germans.
From June IA until July Is the Ger.

forces and they again struck. This

Peace T~entatives

The period between December /.
1917. and March /. 1918, may be call
ed the period OF peace tentatives. It
is true that before the end of the sum.
mer Pope Benedict made an appeal
TO the warning nations to enter into
peace negotiations, the basis for pour.
parlers being the restoration OF Bel.
GUM and Serbia and the return to
Germany of her lost colonies. This
appeal, made on August 10, was an
swered by President Wilson on An-
gust 20, when the president
ed that the German government as
constituted could not be believed and
that the United States was ready to
enter into negotiations when the Ger.
man people showed they desired peace
and when they spoke through any au-
thorfty which would be representative
of them.
The German answer to the Pope's
appeal reached the Vatican on Sep
TENDER q. 1t expressed hope that
further warfare could be averted

The year opened with the fortunes
of war apparently favoring the En-
tente. The British had forced back
the Germans to the famous linden
burg line. The French had establish
ed themselves firmly along the Chem
indies DANES, north of the Aisne.
The echoes of Verdun were still ring
Ing the knell of German hopes in that
sector of the battle area. The Ital-
ians were holding their lines along
the Isonzo. The ~rejuyenated Rus
sian regiment of July First" had
carried the war far into the Austrian
defenses in Bukowina and Galicia.
Through August and September
1917, there came rumors that Rus
STA was exhausted by the war, and
quiet settled down along the lines
fom the gates of the Carpathians to
the Baltic. Stories were heard of
determination of German and Russian
troops but assurances came from Pet
rograd that Russia would stand true
% her allies.

PLENTY OF SUGAR
 TO PUT UP FRUITS.

There will be plenty of sugar to put up Arkansas fruit this year, accord ing to Hamp Williams, the food ad- ministrator, who has assured the spe- cialists with the Extension Division that they can have the club members and farmers wives throughout the state go ahead with their prepara- tions and put up as much fruit as possible. To secure the sugar for this work it is only necessary to go to your grocery store and sign lit tie pledge, stating that the sugar de- sired is for the purpose of putting up fruit and that all surplus sugar not used in this manner will be returned.
