A great many Of the new members

They all knew Peter Gnome and Bill
lie Brownie were the very best Of
friends, and hat as % al Peter had
started his club, the brownies had been
the first to join.
They knew that Peter Gnome hated
weather grumblers and since belonging
to the club they thought weather grum-
blers were very foolish. They had
found that there never was a day up
on which one could not enjoy some
thing.
And-they had discovered how much
happier they always were to like every
day as it came along. Yes, they
thought the club was splendid and
they were happy to belong to 1t.
Still they were new members and
they did want to find out how the club
started In the very first place of ALL
And so they asked Peter Gnome If he.
would tell them.
He agreed and they called a meeting
to make sure that all members would
hear of the first days and of the start
ing of the club.
"You are right" said Peter, when
you say that Billie Brownie and the
other brownies were the first members.
And / will tell you the story l told

ALLIES TAKE INITIATIVE
Telling Blow Delivered Against En-

Value Than Any Of Equal Area
on somme Line.

London, May 4.-On the southern
battlefront the French have taken the
initiative and struck a telling blow
southeast of Amiens.
Attacking on a front of more than
a mile between Hailles and Castel,
General Petain's troops drove the
Germans from Hill So, overlooking the
Avre river, and captured the wood
to the east and southeast.
Valuable Vantage Point.
This ground is probably more vain
able than any other of equal area
along the entire Somme line. 1t was
at Hailies that the Germans affected
their greatest westward penetration,
in their Amiens drive, and at Hill
SO they were within less than three
miles of the Paris-Amiens railway.
With this new terrain an excellent
line Of defenses appears to have been
taken up by the Allied forces in this
region.

warn puhIic of Failure .
In the Villers-Bretonneaux region
there has been a further improvement
of the Allied positions, the British
gaining ground in local fighting last
night. The Germans are still holding
off on the Flanders battlefront and
German newspapers are telling the
public that the high command may
decide not to take Ypres after all as
it's position is not important.
The German artillery seems to have
turned its attention chiefly to the
southern side of the Flanders salient
and last night was bombarding the
region along the 15-mile line between
Givenchy and Nieppe wood. In sew
eral thrusts at this front previously
the enemy has been unable to maze
any substantial Roadway.
