TRASH.

Passing along today on a street in
habited partly by our own race l OBJ
served that paper and trash and litter
were every where. 1t seemed that
the wind had blown it in spots where
it lay, ugly, an eye sore and depos-
sent to our nerves. Exactly in front of
where ali this littre, trash and paper
lay were houses, and fats occupied by
colored people. By contrast we will
suffer any way. Where the people
of the other race lived was no trash,
no litter, and no piles of torn paper.
For the love of Douglass, Washing
ton and the culture and refinement
of our race, let US keep our fronts
clean always, grow grass, keep it
trimmed, cultivate flowers and above
all things keep windows washed, and
front curtains clean, and avoid max
ing boisterous noise.

That Did 1t.

A sturdy tramp went into a subur. ban garden where the lady of the house was occupied in attending to her bulbs.
 He took no notice of her refusal to give coppers. but continued to worry her until a small dog appeared, bark ing loudly. The lady seized its collar and held It, calling out:
 You had better go; 1t may bite"
 You ain't got no right to keep savage dog" replied the tramp, out ragged in all his most sacred feelings.
 Perhaps I have not" she answered coolIy. If you think so I won't keep him. I'll let him go."
 The latch of the gate clicked vio- lently, and in 20 seconds the tramp had vanished into space.

To such gen tlemen he says: If you insist on dis criminating against families with chil- dren the city will raise your tax as sessment to the limit. If you try to come back we will fight the case out before the bar of public opinion. And you will lose. For Jersey City is on the side of the babies, and don't you forget it.'

Baker, Ore-Untimely twilight, fast followed by a deeper darkness, swept over a strip of the Northwest fifty miles wide when the solar eclipse, fore told by men who have reduced the movements of astral bodies to an ex- act science, came to pass.
 The expected results of plunging the world into darkness as of night were observed. Birds sought their nests and chickens went to roost A gloom as deep as that at 10 o'clock at night enveloped the favored strip of country at the moment of totality. Electric lights were turned on indoors and street cars and automobiles had their headlights burning.

GERMAN ATTACK ON 20-mILE FRONT CHRONIC RESISTANCE BY AMERL CANS AND FRENCH CHECK

 AND FIFTEEN LANDED.
Newspaper Union New. Service.

With the American Army in France. June l0.-Attacks by the Germans in the Marne sector have again been re- pulsed by the Americans, who inflict- ed heavy losses on the enemy. The French repulsed two attacks against Hill 204, west of Chateau Thierry, the first at 10 o'clock Saturday night, and the second at 3 o'clock Sunday morn ing. French troops captured a wood south of Buzziares. A new German division, the Fifth Grenadier Guards, was identified by the Americans.
 Washington, June 10.-The Ameri- can steamer Pinar del Rio was sunk by a German submarine seventy miles morning. One of her boats. with the captain and seventeen members of the crew, is missing; another, with Chief Mate Orkes and fifteen men. landed at the Manteo life station on the North Carolina coast. about fifty-five miles below Norfolk, Va, it is an- nounced from Norfolk. A brief dis patch to the Navy Department an nouncing the sinking did not say whether the ship was shelled or tor pedoed. Hope is held that the miss ing boat has been picked up by some passing vessel or will turn up at some point along the coast. Until last night showing themselves since the Nor wegian steamer Vinland was sunk off the Virginia capes last Wednes- day
 The armies of the crown prince Of Bavaria are again hitting the allied line in a new offensive, with Paris ap- parently their objective.
 Between Montdidier and Noyon, over a front of about twenty miles, preceded by heavy bombardment with shells and noxious gases. the en- emy's initial maneuver evidently has in view the bending back of the allied front toward the towno f St. Just on the northern wing and toward the rail road junction of Compeigne on the southern flank, getting astride the Disc river and driving southwest to- ward the French capital.
 The French troops are resisting the impact with their usual valor, but the Germans on their right and in the cen ter have been able to penetrate the line for distances ranging from two thirds of mile south of Montdidier to relatively two and half miles at Ressons-Sur-Matz. in the center. Thence to Noyon, however, the allied line Is holding strongly.
 If success should rest with the enemy on the new battle front 1t might badly affect the stability of the line of the defenders from the Disc to the Marne and compel . falling back westward from the Disc to the region of the Marne northwest of Chateau Thierry in order to straighten out the 6aep salient that would then project east ward, with the Soissons sector as its apex.
 The allied commanders, 1t is assert ed. were not taken unawares by the new offensive. Comparative quiet pre- vails in the region of the Marne and on that portion of the line in Flanders held by the British.
