 Friday. the date set by influential German newspapers for starting of the much advertised German offensive has
 passed an dno aggression on the part Of tue enemy has materialized. On the contrary, both the British and French armies delivered, at widely separated points or the western front, smashes { at the GerlHan line These attacks. al- tho they were merely in the nature of faldS, We're successfully carried out al'o reS"iTed III the capture Of prison CTS and the inflictiOn fcasualties on the enemy.
 Inc Canadians on the famous Lens sector kept up their raiding operations aSainst the Germans, again entering trenches and bringing back prisoners.
 Near COurey the French undertook successfully similar maneuver, which bore fruit in the bagging of a number of Germans. In the Butte du Me8nll sector of the Champagne, where the French, aided by American batteries executed a brilliant stroke earlier in the week, a lively artillery duel was in progress at last accounts With the Americans, in all probability, participating. Likewise near Verdun and in the WOevre section reciprocal bonibardments of violent character are in progress. -r
 American Front Quiet.
 Along tbat sector of the front east of St. Mihiel where an American force is holding the line quiet is prevailing for the time being, owing to the in- element weather and the morass which has formed as the result of heavy rains. The Germans in front of the Americans are busily engaged in re- pairing trenches and constructing new dugouts to replace those which have been shattered recently by accurate aim of tine American gunners, handling their 75's.
 Over the entire front the aerial ac tivity by both sides continues intense, with both the entente and German air men endeavoring to locate opposing positions or to spy out troops concen- trations. French aviators again have carried out brilliant foray into Ger many, attacking with bombs many towns of military importance, notably Metz, the famous fortress which lies some 20 miles north of the American sector in Lorraine. Large quantities of explosives were dropped and con flagrations were observed.
 Again Hammer Turks.
 The British again have hit the Tur- kish line in Palestine hard blow. Northeast of Jerusalem they have pen- etrated Turkish positions to depth of two miles on front of six miles.
 Sneaking into the Strait of Dover, German torpedo boat destroyers, early Friday morning, made another of their sudden attacks on small British craft, seven drifters and one traWler. Having carried out their work of de- struction. the Germans beat a nasty retreat to the north before the British naval forces could engage. e

And he respected women fair
And dealt with men upon the square
And people thought him much worm

PASSING or THE POLAR WAVE

The forecast Of the Weather Bureau
Saturday, following, as it did, the
tenpestuous conditions OF Friday

throughout q. large section OF the
country. While there were but scanS
supplies Of coal and wood IN some
cellars, others were empty, and fuel
exceedingly scarce IN coal yards. IN
many cases this commodity had been
purchased by the busbel, and those
fortunate enough to purchase such
small amounts were forced to cnr'-
serve their supplies. A fierce Satur-
day night was anticipated and cold
Sunday.
We had been told that the mercury
would fall to zero, if not below ttat
mark, and preparations, as far as
possible. we're made to meet con-
tinuation of the cold wave WHICH has
lowered over the country for weeks.
