THE COUNTER OFFENSIVE

Reports are that the allied offensive
is the greatest of the year. The re
ports are too modest. 1t is the great
est of the entire war to date. Neve,
before has there been such dash and
determination to strike terror and de-
vastation into the ranks Of the enerny
as at this time. Preparations for this
have been going on for months The
enemy has been driving back the al
lies, as the enemy thought, nearer to
Paris, when in reality the enemy has
been stumbling into the trap being Sc
for him by the shrawd Foch.
The results are al that could :
desired so far. The enemy is being
pushed back with awful slaughter all
along the line, and the drive has now
continued for practically five miles
along the entire twenty-five miles of
attack.
The Americans have gotten into the
fight with that determination that is
so apparent in the selects before we
send them out. Training over there in
sight Of Hun ferocity and hellishness

"b'ood ard iron" that Bismarck is said

on the run with a loss that hurts. The
Germans cannot stop the allies and
town after town is reported captured
by French and Americans.
1t is held by allied military authori-
ties to be impossible now for the Ger
mans to capture Paris, and the en-

Fine Cotton Crop.

New Orleans, La.-Reports from
practically every section of the South
indicate the yield of cotton will be
heavy this season. The staple selling
at around 80 cents pound in the
seeding season stimulated planting,
notwithstanding the fact that in many
localities a plea was made for the
planting of more food and feed crops.

Three New Applications

In spite of the influenza epidemic and
the effect it has had on the motion
picture industry, the organization work
of the National Association Of the Mo-
ton Picture Industry goes steadily on.
The serious problems created by the
epidemic have served to bring to the
attention of those companies not affili-
ated with the association the impor-
tance of the work which it is doing for
the benefit of the entire industry, with
the result that three new applications
for membership have been received and
several other companies have the uues-
tion under serious consideration. 1t is
expected that their applications will be
received in the near and immediate
future.
The three new applications are the
Triangle Film Corporation, applying
for membership in the producers divis-
ion; the Mutual Film Corporation and
the Triangle Distributing Corporation,
in the distributors division.
