IDEALS ARE FIRST
NEEDED GRADS TOLD

The need of ideals before attempt
ing practical accomplishments was
urged upon the graduating class OF
the high school by the R. r. l.. Semans
in the baccalaureate address Sunday
afternoon. The services were held al
the First NJ f. church. The members
of the graduating class appeared IN the
gray academic caps and gowns when
they adopted as a measure OF war
economy Ray Williams, who has en-
listed in the navy, was the only mem
Der of the class in service, who was
present at the exercises.
Several numbers were given proceed
ing the sermon by the church choir,
under the direction of r. c. Sloane.
America is based on great dreams
that came true" the speaker said.
every great achievement existed first
as an air castle. Never let your Wis
ion fade out and come down to the
so-called practical things of life, and
don't become failures because. you do
not work to fulfill your dreams"
The minister paid tribute to the
boys of the class who entered the SER
vice, and those who would soon enlist.
Some of you may go and never
come back" he said. THAT is not
our affair, but Gods. 1t is not our
affair how long we live, but what our
purpose is in life, and how we work
at it."

PRESENT ATTACK
EXTENSION Of
FORMER DRIVE
German Press Sees Great
Strategical Possibilities IN
Positions Now Won.
tBy Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, June 3.-The Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung says that
it is increasingly apparent that the
crown princes advance is not new
attack but a systematic continuation
of the previous offensive. Continuing,
il SAYS that thanks to communications
in the region south Of Chauny, which
were secured in April. the new region
of attack is already beginning organic
ally to grow, together with the big
wedge driven towards Amiens.
There are tremendous tactical and
operative possibilities in the strategic
positions now won," the article says
In conclusion. Meanwhile, now as be-
fore, General Foch's army stands in
the region north Of Amiens. There the
entente awaits in certainty revival
of our offensive"
The military correspondent of the
Hamburger Nachrichten points out
that further developments will mainly
be influenced by two factors. Firstly,
he says, the increased effect of the
French reserves must be reckoned on
because General Foch had the oppor-
tunity to bring up even remote troops,
and secondly, that there are local diff
culties, including the entire lack Of
main roads and railway communica-
ton from north to south to connect
previous bases with the foremost posi-
tons already reached.

RICHMOND SOLDIER TELLS OF
DEATH DEALING HUN GAS

A letter has been received from
Carl Glidewell, a Richmond man in
training at Fort Oglethorpe. Ca, ex-
planning the manner in which the men
are trained for gas attacks
/. The last three days we have had
drills on gas attacks" writes Glide
well. First, our instructor explained
the use and construction of gas masks.
Next the different kinds of gases used
by the Germans; they are tear gas,
mustard gas, gas that makes you sick
at your stomach, and last of all the
death chlorine gas
Tear gas effects the eyes only and
will make one temporarily blind. This
may last four or five days. Mustard
gas will burn biisters on your body
any place it touches except when you
are wearing rubber over the exposed
parts and a rubber slicker
Hangs to Ground.
Our teacher told us to be careful
about sitting down on the ground any
place where this gas had been used,
for 1t hangs close to the ground, being
heavier than air. He said If we didn t
sit on our slicker coat that we would
probably have to eat off the mantle
piece for a spell.
These burns and blisters. of course,
are about like any other kind of burns
and take some time to heal according
to the amount of gas coming in con-
tact with your person. The third gas
is the sickening gas and has ten
dency to make one leave the battle
line and permanently abandon the
contents of ones stomach
Chlorine then 81 ct | DOSE"
"All these gases are used by the
Huns before the deadly chlorine is let
loose. Chlorine acts upon the stomach
and mostly on the lungs and air pass
ages, destroying air cells and tissues
in remarkably short time One
breath of this gas and you become I'M
conscious in less than two minutes;
exposure to this awful sume spells
death to big, little, rich and poor
alike.
1.-THE first three gases are used first
in order to throw the enemy off the
track or to cause them to remove their
masks if they have been lucky enough
to get them on. We are required to
put our masks on in six seconds and
also to hold our breath during the
operation.
Gases are thrown and set off in
three different ways. One is by free
ing gas that has been burned in a cyl
inder in some part of a trench, and
the wind blows it gently through the
trench system in smoke-like cloud
Second there as six inch shells loaded
with liquid gas and they are hurled
like other shells. And lastly there
are drums of gas of large proportions

no explosives, except just enough to

the deadly poison.
There are many ways of detecting
a gas attack, as seeing gas cloud
smoke. smelling it before its gets
strong enough to kin, and by the diff
ferent sounds of the shells.
after gas has been detected three
are three alarms given by the gas
squad that is always on the alert.
First. there is listening post in
the trenches that is dug up pretty
close to the enemy trench, and man
is posted there to listen for the enemy
movements and anything else that
would help the cause. He has po-
liceman's rattle and sounds that il
he smells gas.

large bell and two men constantly

TREES FOR ORNAMENTAL
AND SHADE PURPOSES

Black locust.
Varieties of Cottonwood.
Russian Mulberry.
Tree of heaven failanthus).
Preparation Of Land for Trees
Land for trees should be plowed at
least six months before the probable
date of planting, but it will be still
better if blowing has been done as
long as ten months or a year before
planting.
A disc harrow should fallow blowing
with disc set to cut wide and deep.
running up and down the dead furrow
until a ditch from 2 to 2h feet has
been made. The holes are then dug
and the trees planted in the bottom
Of these bitches.
Distance for Setting Trees
The distance TO plant or set trees
depends largely upon the preference
Of the person having the work done,
and the variety planted. ut is neces-
sary, however, to allow plenty Of room
for each tree in order that sufficient
moisture may be secured from it. and.
Again, too great a distance should not
be allowed between trees, as II mars
the sightliness of the place. At the
Tucumcari Field Station it vas found
that for single rows Of shade trees
the trees do we'll when set at a dis.
lance of from 16 to 20 feet apart in
the row.
Time Of Setting Trees
If the trees are to be watered they
may be transplanted at the most con
v|enient time of late fall, winter oil
early spring. If however, the natura'
railfall of the region is to be depended
upon, it will nearly always be founc
best to set the trees out ven as late
as the middle Of April. At least som,
rain is almost always certain to fal
in April and it will be found that thu
ground will usually be in good condi
ton for setting trees during this sea
son of the year.
