Must Exhaust Hun Reserves.
We still are in the region of limited
offensive, and must remain so until
the enemy reserves, or his courage, or
both, are exhausted, and more ambi-
tious aims can be set before a gen.
eral attack. But there is difference
between a limited offensive, which
restricts the infantry to an advance
which can be covered by its own guns
in position, ard this other plan al
ways favored by Marshal Joffre, of
penetrating far enough to reach the
enemy's guns. This latter plan is
rendered feasible by concealed con-
centration. by limitation of the bonn
bardment to the briefest possible pc

and motor machine-gun batteries. and
by the pushing on at easy stages of
the smaller part of the field artil-

Airplanes Beaten Or.

The Germans began with airplane
attacks. aviators attempting to bomb
infantrymen north of the Vesle and
bridges over which other troops were
passing. French and American anti
aircraft guns beat of the German
f1iers.
Just after dark the Germans
launched an artillery attack, which
steadily increased in volume until
nearly daylight. when the Franco
Americans counter attacked with such
force that the Germans were forced
to lessen the volume of their fire.
During the night the Germans at
tackled F'ismette three times and once
after daylight Saturday.
From the region southeast of
Braisne to Fismes. the Franco-Ameri-
cans put down such a terrific barrage
that the Germans were stopped.
Saturday morning the Teutons
started another attack along the same
line, but heavy artillery quickly
checked this assault. The enemy used
much gas in attempting to dislodge
the Americans from Fismette. Infan-
trymen. plentifully supplied with ma
chine guns, also made futile attacks

Dunlap's'" History of
the Arts of DESIGN"

COUNTY VI ourS mas produced
hardly any one individual with So
extended knowledge of the arts. Itera-
lure and the sciences as was possessed by
William Dunlap. As a bov he lost the
sight of an eye, so that he was in no small
degree handicapped. Yet at II he had
become a portrait painter considered so
far above mediocre that in 1888 he made
likeness of Gen. George Washington at
Rocky Hill, n. J.
After the close of the Revolution he
went to England to become a pupil of
Benjamin West, with whom he remained
for three years, and then returned TO New
York. But his progress was too slow for
one who had so active mind and habit.
and he closed his studio to engage in dra-
matte composition. His plays began TO
attract the attention of theatrical mana
gers in 1879, and for number of wears
he was engaged in play writing or in
managing productions.
lie also found time to establish and edit
a periodical known as the Recorder. In
1914 he was appointed paymaster gen
eral of the militia of the State of New
York, holding that position two years. In
1917 he abandoned all other interests TO
return to painting, and he then travelled
throughout the United States and Canada
painting portraits and began a series of
large pieces such as had made his master
famous. They were received with great
favor.
Dunlap was the founder and an early
officer of the National Academy of De-
sign. He was sought as lecturer on the
fine arts. His History Of the american
Theatre, History Of the State Of Ncu
York and History Of the Rise and Prod-
reSs Of the Arts of Design IN the United
States all give evidence Of his learning
and skill in expression. II was the last
mentioned work that made his fame per
manent.

nally in 1884, has been the best of our
