but were repulsed sanguinarily and
forced back to their own lines with
greatly diminished numbers. Further

most severe nghting, they were com
PEELED to retreat.
Mont Renaud. near Noyon, saw re-

throughout Saturday, but all were
equally futile. This hill was the first
point where the French barred the
German advance through the Disc
valley towards Compeigne and Paris
When the Germans first swept dowr
from Noyon the hill changed hands
repeatedly. The ground whereabouts
shows striking evidence of the fear
full nature of the battle in the num-
Der of German bodies that can bC

Hold Line Firmly
Since March 30 the French have
not budged In fact, they have
gained some ground on the northern
slopes of the hill. The Germans oc.
cupied two hills overlooking Mont

Further eastward. along the Disc
the French fell back Saturday from
the dangerous salient north ot
Amigny. Fighting all the way They
retired to better positions, which hac
been prepared along the course ol

With the French Army in France,
Sunday, April 7.-Twenty-li divi-

mans in the last four days in efforts
to break through the French line and
reach the railroad running south
from Amiens. All attacks have been
checked by the wonderful resistance
of the French.
The Germans are obtaining only
insignificant results in their at
tempts to advance compared with the
number of troops engaged. which is
at least three times the Rumber. of
the French defenders.
Terrible Execution
The confidence with which the
French troops go into action is most
remarkable. They make light of the
German superiority in numr ers. The
French command continue: to work
on the principle of using the small
est possible number of troops to stay
the German rush, thus retaining the
reserves for possible attacks some
place else.

Washington, April S.-The landing

the State Department some concern.
When Japanese occupation of Siberia

Americas attitude drew express

Twice last evening and again this

advance their lines at points iu the
sector north and south of Albert and
each time they failed. AT O'Clock
this morning a considerable enemy
force advanced for an attack In the
vicinity of Bucquoy, north of Albert
The Germans were seen coming
while they still were nile away
and the British artillery an1 machine
guns put down such an intense bar
rage among them that the projected
assault was stopped. Some time aft
erward the enemy reformed his
forces and made another effort. but
This was checked without the use of

RIVER COALIN
GREAT DEMAND
THIS SUMMER
Shortage of Anthracite Makes
Manufacturers Eager For
Susquehanna Supply
MANY DREDGES AT.WORK
Price Scars as More and More
and More Calls Are Re-
ceived For Fuel

One effect of the shortage of an
thracite coal will be to increase
shipments of river coal dredged in
Harrisburg to outlying points. This
is certain to come unless there is a
material increase in the supply of
anthracite during the coming
months
Between $4,000 and 10000 tons
of coal is dredged from the river
every year, according to c. NJ. Kalt7
wasser, manager of the Harrisburg
Light and Power Company, whose
company conducts extensive dredg-
ing operations on the river to supply
its own fuel. Hitherto all this coal
has been used by four or five large
industries in the city and vicinity.
River coal is used by the Central
Iron and Steel Company, Bethlehem
Steel Company, the Capitol, the Pipe
and Pipe Bending Works, and the
City Water Power Company.
Shipped Out of City
Hitherto the river coal mined here
has been largely diverted to these
industries and few others. Since
the shortage of anthracite, firms out
side the city have been ordering
large amounts of the coal and it has
been shipped out of the city in large
quantities. 1t is thought that the
amount of coal shipped to outside
points will increase as activities on
the river increase.
One effect of the coal shortage and
the outside demand for river coal,
has been to increase dredging activi-
! ties on the river. The great demand
of river coal last winter, which
caused it to double in price within
| a few months, caused a large num-
Der of new boats to be put on the
river this spring and it is likely that
the amount of coal dredged this year
! will be far greater than ever.

WHOA, GEORGE!

Mayor George A. Quigley went to
Unionville one evening last week to
convince the voters of that town
that they should send him to Con-
gress this year IN place of the present
efficient Representative. Mr.. Loner-
gan.
If he was quoted correctly in the
press, the Mayor attempted some
thing rather elaborate. First he said
that the President, in appealing for
the election of a Democratic Con-
gress ''has deliberately insulted mill
lions Of loyal Americans" He added
that the Presidents message will be
received as an insult by these mill
have stood by the President" And
again-"It will likewise be received
as an insult by the millions of SOL
diers who are fighting bravely on the
fields of France" ETC., etc.
His Honor loves to talk about mill
lions, loves to deal in them. But we're
afraid he went a bit too far when he
attempted to speak for SO many mil
lions, both here and overseas. So far
as we know, the Mayor has not been
authorized by the public at large, or
by any particular group of millions
to state how the Presidents appeal
will be regarded. It would be the
wiser policy to leave that to the vot-
ers themselves.
The Mayor is treading on danger
Gus ground when he makes such
statements about the commander in
chief of the United States. He should
reflect on the thought that it has
been by INDUCING in just such I'M
called for criticism of our President
that Roosevelt has come to be re-
garded by many as a plain pest.
New Britain herald., 1918-10-30

indeed, your remarks are most dis
tressing. You don't really mean that
you think President Wilson is Il SUI
peregoist and the laughing stock of
Europe? What's that? You were
quite sincere about it? Then isn't
it just a bit stupid of your statesmen
to agree to everything our President
says? No, old chap, you couldn't
have meant it exactly that way. Of
course during our political campaigns
there's a jolly lot of rot and rubbish
spoken and written, but you shouldn't
mix into it. old top. Why not let us
queer Americans fight this thing out
ourselves? Or why don't you write
to YOUR beloved Times about it? We
iollv we'll think that it would cause
nasty old row if an American visiting
in England should express his opin-
ION ABOUT your lulCl III IliS 0o'HhN AA40
ner YOU have chosen to berate our
President. Come now, old fellow
wouldn't you consider it q bit odd?
And weren't you just spoofing? Be
good fellow and admit that it was
Just another of your subtle puns for
which you are so famous! But for
the life of us, old man, there's one
thing we can't understand. lawfully
dense, YOU know, we AmericansD
What we can't seem to grasp is, why
do you tarry here il it bores you so,
the way our President does things?
You know, old top, there's a steamer
leaving aH American port every six
minutes, and it would be the simplest
thing in the world for you to engage
passage any time for some other
country where things would be more
to your liking.
That's about enough for today, old
love. Ta-ta!

FORCED UPON WILSON.

Samuel Untermyer. famous New
York lawyer, like many other men of
broad minds, says President Wilson
did not inject the politician issue
into the campaign but lit was forced
upon him by the hostility and oppo-
sition of the Republican leaders
Mr.. Untermyer made this statement
at a large public gathering in New
York City last night. He also re-
ferred to the discontinue of the
Republican leaders at their inability
to find flaw in the Presidents
armor, saying They stagger from
one premature, unfounded criticism
to another, only to be checkmated at
every step by the Presidents vision
and craftsmanship Both of these
views have been expressed by The
Herald as convictions borne out by
the situation at Washington.

THE TARES AMONG THE WHEAT.

Some do to others as they would
Not have one do to them.
The golden rule for them is not
A fitting diadem.
Should their bull gore another's OK,
That act should be ignored,
Though it could not be overlooked,
In case their OK was gored.
They hurt, as with a pinching boot
And penetrating peg;
A boot which they would not enjoy,
If on the other leg.
They say it is a golden shield
Their lives present to view,
And do not see the baser side
AS other people do.
Why should so many be so mean
And some worse than the rest?
They please themselves by being
mean
And like themselves the best.
Far better men with no mean traits
Abundantly are found.
Their upright and contented lives
Give sunshine all around.
When one thus lives for other'ss joy
That Gods will may be done,
Of such we say, how could there be
On earth 9, better one?
