 The prize winning letter of Joseph inc follows:
 Dear Sir:
 As you have said that you think the question, What can 1 do to serve my country" important, will give vou osme things that can do.
 It is easy for me to save my nickels, dimes and quarters and invest them in Thrift Stamps and then War Savings Stamps. If every time I go to buy candy, or ice cream, and think how much sugar there is in it, and deprive myself of it, it would give that much more to our soldiers. If I can go to the show every day, I surely can buy Thrift Stamp every day
 The I. NJ. C. A. is giving much help to the boys lover there" and I can do my bit for it.
 If 1 give money to the Red Cross it will keep many soldiers from dying on the battle fields. l can send books to the soldiers in France. While 1 am staying at home, enjoying myself many a mothers boy is dying on the battle field. should knit and help the Red Cross as much as possible.
 If I observe the wheatless days, it will give much to our allies and sol diers. As there are no more meatless days. still We ought to save meat.
 It does not take any time to save enough money for Liberty Bond, if you try hard enough.
 Food is so high that everyone is ex- pected to have a garden. In their gar dens they can raise vegetables and save more for Uncle Sam. When l help mother in the kitchen it does some good because mother can go and work in the garden.
 Joan of Arc saved France. We girls can still be Joan of Arc by giving freely to everything that comes along. Uncle Sam don't mean for us to do without everything but he does mean for us to save more than usual I can do without taking a trip this year. because Uncle Sam needs the railroads. can keep down coal bills and give that coal to the government can keep down the heat in my room to 6S degrees and give the fuel to Uncle Sam. If everyone would go to bed early and save lights for the gov ernment everyone would be in better health. | can cut off all my unneces- sary talks over the telephones and save labor. always think before buy new clothes and see about my old ones. If all the people would save rubber and gasoline the government would not be so tied up. l can work in the kitchen and so save having so many servants. am going to cut out all the amusementS. When l go to buy a new sweater, l will not throw away my old one. but give if to some one that needs it.

Washington, April 25-Germany's
present effort on the whole front
south of the Somme and on the Avre
is the most pretentious since the in
itial assaults on Picardy front, ac-
cording to reports, today.
The enemy is using fresh reserves,
trained shock troops and every equip
ment possible in an attempt to
'straighten the battle line and isolate
British and French railway renters.
General Pershing's men hold the
center, with French units between
them and the British, with French
and Italians on the right. 1t is re-
ported that the German are meeting
with a terrific slaughter while they
are again advancing in mass forma-
ton
There is growing expectation
among military experts at Washing
ton that Foch will strike back soon
with fanking attacks designed to cut
'of the Germans from their main sup
ply base.

Australian and English troops made
brilliant record at KENNEL ridge,
driving the Germans from the village
of KENNEL and capturing over six
hundred prisoners. German losses in
this sector are very heavy.
A tank battle was spectacular fea-
ture of the fighting on the Picardy
front, the British remaining complete
master of this phase of the fighting.

German ranks, moving them down
right and left with machine guns.
French troops are fighting beside the
British on the Picardy and Flanders

Joseph H. Ingleheart. an attorney of Evansville, was in Indianapolis a few days ago and when he reached Terre Haute en route home and got on a passenger train on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad, he decided he would take a sleeper. He looked up the porter and told him he wished a berth. He was due in Evansville at II o'clock that night and the porter remonstrated, saying that it was a three hours ride and that no one need ed a sleeper for that short distance.
 q don't care" shouted Tgleheart. q want berth if it's only three min utes' ride" The porter said he would have to see the conductor and later re- turned and told Mir. Igleheart that he could have berth.
 Owing to a heavy snowstorm and bad weather conditions the train ar rived at six o'clock the next morning at Evansville, being seven hours late. When Igleheart got up he greeted the porter who was standing in the aisle. The porter was angry and after Igle- heart had spoken to him the second time, he said: Don't you speak to me, white man.

 BARDED-GET THE SNiPER.

With the American Army in France. The American artillery is keeping up harassing fire on the German lines bombarding batteries, trenches, cross roads, dugouts, light railways and houses in which enemy troops are billeted.
 American artillery and infantry have succeeded in cleaning out a ma ority of the snipers who caused con- siderable annoyance since the sector was occupied. Snipers' posts in build ings have been destroyed by knock ing down the shelters over the heads of the Germans with shells. Snipers hidden in bushes or shell holes have been routed by American sharpshoot CTS Night patrols have succeeded in locating some of the positions and the Germans in them have been finished off later.
 Recently small patrol entered an advanced German trench in search of a nest of snipers. A lieutenant, corporal and two men left the Ameri- can wire and returned five hours la ter. They walked across No Mans Land, picking their way carefully.
 Reaching the enemy wire they crawled beneath it and approached the nose advanced enemy trench. the most advanced enemy trench. which apparently was abandoned, but they were sure snipers were there They dropped down noiselessly and found place where the trench bot tom showed fresh footprints. ca the parapet the corporal discovered rifle loaded and pointed in the direction of the American trenches. There was not a German around.
 At another point enemy snipers were discovered in shell hole. A few well placed shots from light ar tillery ended their career. At another place a hail of machine gun bullets was effective.
 One, two or possibly three snipers' posts are still in front of the Amerl- can positions, but they are not likely to be there long.
