Houston spoke at 8 meting of the state council of defense, at which virtual ly every county unit in Georgia was represented.
 We have now got to declare" he said, and make good, new Fourth of July for the whole world.'
 After referring briefly to agricultural conditions, which he said had been changed as a result of the war, Secre- tary Houston made an appeal for unity in the nation, and urged that "every man, woman and child forget every other interest gave that of winning the war;
 A nations strength, he asserted, is measured by the hold that the cause for which it fights has upon the minds and hearts of the entire people.
 Germany has issued series of stupid challenges to the world" he said, "of which the challenge to the United States was the last of the series. The quickest and cheapest way to meet that challenge Is for US to put every ounce of our in- telligence, will power and resources against it at the earliest possible mo- ment. I know nothing Is going to stop us from winning this war" The councils two-day meeting opened this morning, at which a telegram of greetings was read from President Will son.

Within F hours the French had pene- trated the strong system of German trenches in Cheppy wood and Malan- court wood to depth at some points of more than a quarter of mile. They destroyed all the enemy works. block houses and shelters, which had taken the German three years to construct and brought back two groups of prison CTS, each comprising 80 men, while the French themselves suffered only the slightest losses.
 Gen. von Galliwitz's army, actlng under the direct orders of the German Crown Prince, displayed evident nerv- ousness under this pressure, as was shown by the hurried arrival of large reserves in motor lorries. They were toe late however, to hinder the French
 The ground was very unfavorable to the French attack, owing to the clay soil. in which immense shellholes from former battles had become filled with water to depth of some six feet. Among these the raiders were forced to pick their way under the constant peril of slipping in and drowning. The ar tillery preparation, however, was so overwhelming that the French met with
