This has been one of the bitterest
days of fighting that the Flanders
battle ground has seen since the pre-
sent offensive began. Since early
morning Won Arnimhas been tlinging
great numbers Of German troops
against the allied lines between lille

Objective. -.
At the same time a secondary thrust

region of the User, north of Ypres.
When the correspondent left the
battlefront shortly after one o'clock
in the afternoon, the German Command
er had nothing to show for his pre-
tentious drive, but long list Of dead

Along the major portion of the
front his troops have been held, and
where they succeeded by superior
weight of numbers in pushing for
ward they were soon rejected by
counter drives. The allied line was
intact throughout at that hour.

Van Horn Cafe Receipts Go to

Afternoon

Democracy and wounded soldiers
are serious ropositions-much too
serious to be only aided by talk, be-
ate the Van Horn Cafe. They're 60
ing to let money talk for them. ..
Next Sunday afternoon, from noon
to 1880 Red Cross officials will have
charge of the cafe cash register. Ey-
cry cent that is paid for meals during
those hours goes into the Red Cross
Golfers. Bougas brothers will donate
the food and drink and service The
brothers explained it last night, in a
rather serious way 1--WE came from
Greece" their statement ran, "but we
wouldn't live there now if somebody's
deed us the whole peninsula. Our
forefathers there fought for democrat
cy three thousand years ago. We're
going to do as much as we can now.
Americans may think, sometimes, that
the people who came from foreign
countries are not in sympathy with
the president, and aims of the. war.
But they're wrong How can our do
nations of few hundred dollars worth
of food compare with the sacrifices
our iSammies are making. Yet our
Sammies don't love Liberty or the
Stars and Stripes any more than we
do" fe.,t
That may not be the exact wording
of their declaration of reasons, be-
cause they both talked at once oc-

they said. They are taking a method.
Expensive to themselves, to give Am.
aricans an opportunity Of pleasurably
contributing to the Red Cross.
