HUN DRIVE LOOKED
FOR MOMENTAR1LY.

BY The Assoeiated Press.
Another week has passed without
the 0ermans resuminR thcir offen-
sive along the western front. In fact
the entente allies have. shown the
greatest activity during this period
and In several parts OF the battie
zone have carried the fight to the
encmy.
. These actions have been local IN
character but have been fought for
important Immediate detectives
where Il needed bolsterlng before the
breaking OF the storm OF shot ana
she'll expected At any time. At va
rious points the allies have placed
in jeopardy the enemy's tenure Of
certain parts of the line and have ex-
tended their control over Wide seq
tors OF the front.
This was the notable result Of an
attack near Belleau wood on tbs
Marne front bv the Americans on
Wedncsday. They lid not seek to
break through the German line but
wanted to reach high ground which
would command the villages OF Torcy
and Bouresches. This ground Is now
securely In their possession.
The French attacking southwest Of
Soissons on the Aisne front had the
same object In view. They hurled
themselves at the German line with
such galalntry that in little over an
hour they penetrated to depth Of
more than n mile over a front Of
almost three miles and captured
more than 1000 prioners. German
counter-attcks against the new
French positions have been repulsed
with heavy losses to the enemy
The British on the extreme west
ern tip OF the Lys salient on the
Flanders front cut deeply into the
German lines on Thursday and sue
ceeded in showing the enemy from
his positions on several little ridges
of land to lower levels, from which
ne will find 1t more difficult to at
tack.
There Is reason for believing that
preparations nre now nearly COM
plete for resumption of the Ger
man drive somewhere on the western
front, Just where the blow will fan
is not known. although the allied
command seems by its confident at
titude TO have some clue to the In
| tentions OF the foe. Tho blow. when
| II comes. Is expected to eclipse the
ferocity OF the attack before Cam
brai on March II or along the Aisne
on May 81. An epidemic OF influ-
enZa in the Germany army Is report
ed and this. with the reported prevao
lence of typhoid, dysentery and other
diseases may delay the onset for
some time

WEST TULSA MAN CATCHES
| SIX GALLONS FLIES A WEEK
Conical Trap is Effective; Has Good
N Scheme TO Rid Town Of Pest;
anothcr Excellent idea.

Catching flies by the gallon is n
favorite diversion Of Ben Gardner,
who lives over in West Tulsa Since
last Sunday morning. and mp until
Friday afternoon he had caught six
gallons of flies in two conical traps.
He says flies are a good deal like
sheep-whenever one goes certain
place the rest all follow suit.
Mr. Gardner gays there are twenty
boarding houses in West Tulsa snd
makes the proposal that each have
one OF his fly-traps. He also had 1t
figured that II each trap catches
three gallons of flies a week. It will
not he long before the town is rid
of flies.
Barnett Bortin has another
scheme 70 kill flies. He says II will
work wonderfully well. only one has
to be right careful az to how II Is
operated. He says the best way IL
to catch your fly, open his mouth
and put little saltpeter on his
tongue. He will then go after a
drink OF water and blow up.
