BRITISH.FRENCH
COUNTER ATTACK

With British Army in France,
May 2S-British and French troops
are counter attacking southwest of
Ypres. The fighting is still under
way at the time of the cablegram.
At that time practically all the
ground won yesterday by the Ger
mans was retaken. There was a
stupendous amount of gas shelling
and the Germans expected to profit
by this method but proof of its fail
ure is shown by the fact that the
French have retaken all ground lost
in the first rush yesterday which
drove a wedge at Dickebusch Lake.
In counter attack together with
ridge held by the Germans over
night. A group of machine gum
ners refused to surrender and
fought like devils until the French
retook the position. Heavy gas
Smelling in the Amiens region and

regretted that more people were not
present to enjoy such an inspiring
program. A class of fourth grade pu-
pills from the Model school under the
direction of Miss Lydia Nelson sang
a group of patriotic songs from men,
DRY showing how the thought of pa
triotism is gripping even these young
hearts. Beautiful solos were sung by
Misses Mcfarland and Lerstad, with
Miss Josephine Wright accompanying.
These were much enjoyed as we'll as
the violin trio and also the chorus in
their selection entitled knitting"
In Miss Amidon's splendid talk we
were all made to realize the great part
music is playing in this awful strug-
gle for freedom by inspiring our boys
with hope and courage even in the
face of death. The thanks of the club
are due all those who gave so willing
ly of their time and talent.
