Fire destroyed small outbuilding
at the rear of the home of C. II. Shell.
lenbarger on North Sandusky street
early Friday afternoon. but no damage
was done to the property, due to the
city fire department in extinguishing
the flames shortly after the building
caught fire. The fire is thought to
have stared when sparks from a bon

of the structure.

PULL THE SWEET TOOTH

The federal food board asks that gu

only two pounds per person per month

GREEN PASTURES

A great many pictures are being

flock of sheep with shepherd at their
side plodding peacefully and quietly
along country meadow.
There in the midsts Of peril, within
the sound Of guns and the constant

French shepherd tends his flock. And
the sheep, nosing close to the fresh,

Somehow, somewhere in the heart
of things there must persist this sense

the fact that all you hold dear may be

there must remain to You the place

REMAINS REPUBLICAN

The Finnish diet has rejected the

Films, who viewed German aggression
with compiacency born Of their JUS
tiRed dislike OF imperial Russia. have
begun to see the light.
Any king Of Finland chosen under
existing conditions must be German

"rHe FIRST SERIOUS DEFEAT


Events between the Somme and
the Avre constitute the first serious
defeat OF the war"
Thus says the Deutches Zeitung of
Berlin.

Marne or the three of Ypres. OF Yer
dun or Of the Somme. Its editors &C.
cept without reservation or question

admit that any offensive operation In
four years has proved q failure. or that
any retreat has been other than "a
strategic retirement to previously pre-
pared positions" The Zeitung. in
deed, is fairly representative Of the
German people.
None should complain because the
Germans do not know when they are
beaten. The trouble with them Is that
they have not realized when they were
beaten. Their real difficulty lies In
the fact that they do not yet know
why all civilization In in league to
beat them.
The testimony Of the Deutches Zei.
tung Is proof, however. that there is
hope for the race. This great journal
knows, now that the German arms
have suffered one serious defeat. II
should be but 4 step to the searching
for the reason. When the German
people really undertake to find Ou

The Firms welcomed the Germans, at
the first, as the lesser of two evils.
They have no intention of permitting
their new state to become helpless
vassal of the house of Hohenzollern,
and their diet has had the courage to
make this feeling plain.
Under the circumstances Finland
must be regarded as a liability rather
than an asset to the central powers
and the war is far from done.

BIG OFFENSIVE
PREVENTED
American Troops In France Put
Damper on Germany's High
Hopes Of Victorious
Assault.

[By J. w. r. Mason, written for the
United Press.l
NEW YORK, April 3.-America's
first year at the front has prevented
the Germans from waging a success
full major offensive against the west
ern allies.
Germany's high hopes Of victor

lines were DANGEROUSLY proclaimed in
Berlin at the beginning Of the winter.
But General Pershing's forces grew
during the winter too rapidly in num-
bers and efficiency. German boast
fulness collapsed and Won linden
burg was compelled to veto the win
ter movement.
The influence OF Americas military
power upon the plans Of the German
general staff began with General
Pershing's clever distribution of his
troops at strategic centers along the
entire length of the French front.
Last November the Germans discov
cred American troops at the Rhine
Marine canal, opposite the Lorraine
border. Won Hindenburg gave quick
evidence that he believed he had
found the key of General Pershings
strategy. It was thought to be a
drive toward the Rhine. The German
general staff thereupon concentrated
strong reserves at the Metz and near
the Swiss border, these being the
two extreme points between which
any movement toward the Rhine must
occur.
BY thus fixing Won Hindenburg's
inside German territory In
the west, General Pershing prevent
ed any offensive use of the German
reserves in France and Belgium.
But when Won Hindenburg had dis

Rhine, General Pershing began re-
