Germans Continue to Hurl Great
Forces of infantry into
Crucial Conflict.
FIGHTING SANGU|NARY
Enemy Placing Dependence Largely
In Sheer Weight Of Members to
Overcome Heroic Resistance
Offered by British.

With the British Army in France,
March 27.-Most sanguinary and des-
perate fighting continues along the
whole front of the new battle zone.
In fact In the northern sector there
has been no cessation In the awful
work since Sunday morning.
The Germans have continued to
hurl great forces of infantry into the
conflict, depending largely on weight
of numbers to overcome the increas-
ing opposition offered by the heroical-
ly resisting British.
Heavy Attacks at Three Points.
On the northern wing of the offen-
sive the enemy brought up addition
al troops after an all night stpog-
gle of the fiercest nature and renewed
his efforts to break the British front
in the region of Evillers. To the south
near the center of the line an equal
ly strong attempt is being made by
the invaders to extend the long mar
row salient which they had pushed In
south of Bapaume, near Longueval-
the Somme These places were again
the scene of shambles In which the
British machine gunners and rife
men exacted a terrible toll of death
from the closely pressing enemy. Still
further south the Germans were pound
ing the front hard in an endeavor to
push on and get firm grip on Nesle
and swing the British right flank
back while the determined defenders
were battling doggedly TO force the
enemy back and reclaim the positions
previously held by them along the
river.
Decision In Abeyance.
The decision at all of these cen
ters is yet in allegiance, so far as Is
known at this time and the struggle
goes on with undated fury.
The battle on the historic ground
about Longueval was perhaps the most
spectacular of any along the front. II
was a day for machine gunners and
infantry. The Germans were pnrsu
ing their tactics of working forward
in massed formation and the British
rapid-firer squads and rifiemen were
reaping a CHASTITY harvest from theil
| positions on the high ground.
Notwithstanding their terrible los
ses the Germans kept coming on, fill
| ing in the place of those who hat
fallen and pressing their attack. The
British artillery in the meantime
| poured in a perfect rain Of shells OF
the enemy, carrying havoc into th'
ranks of the enemy. In this section
the Germans were operating withou
the full support Of their guns because
of their rapid advance.
In the north, in the region OF Ervil
lers, the British last night were force,
once more to abandon Mory, whic!
had changed hands several times II
the last few days. They fell back 20
a short distance, and the battle wa
staged largely along the Bapaume-AI
ras road. The Germans employed
large number of divisions in this az
sault which in the early hours wa
held by the British gunners.

APPLICANTS FOR TRACTORS
MUST PRODUCE MORE FOOD

That one hundred Fordson tractors
put out by Henry Ford & Son at cost
in cooperation with officials of vari-
GUS states who undertake to designate
the purchasers thought to be able to

producers have been allotted to this

information received by E. C. Durdle,
county agriculturist, from f. F. Ben
son, commissioner of agriculture, the
first part of the week.
County agricultural agents have
been requested to receive applications
for tractors and when forwarding ap-
plicataons the county agent will indi-
cate the ability of the applicant to
make cash payment, and the use to
which the tractor will be put, it being
understood that each purchaser must
keep his machine at work as much as
possible either on his own place or on
lands belonging to,others at reason
able rate of compensation, so that
maximum service may be rendered
The price of this tractor is $3.50

cost. The lugs on the wheels are
permanently attached and for travel
on concrete roads special steel band
is made, but these come extra. Belt
pulleys to enable the tractor to be
used for belt work come extra also
Nearly everyone who has asked for "a
tractor has requested the pulley at
tachment; hence they have been or
dered to accompany all tractors in the
first shipment. The Oliver Chilled
Plow Works make special plow
known as the "Fordson No. T." which
is especially constructed to work with
these tractors. The cost of this plow
is $125 at factory. The total cost of
tractor, equipped with plows and pull
ley, in car lots of seven or eight per
car, including freight, will be between
$3.50 and 81 900. No compensation or

food production, and as 100 Fordsons
have been allotted to this state have

them to those applicants who will

A RED CROSS MEETING

A Red Cross meeting was held on
Monday night at the Lane & Bronson

cial condition took off his socks and

patriotic meeting, each one contrib
uting to the full extent of his finan-
cial ability. Something over $55 was
raised and turned over to Mrs. Glass
for the benefit of the Bossburg quota.
The following were present and con-
tributed: Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Glasgow
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh

Mrs. Clark and daughter Mabel, Mr..
and Mrs. T. Lane and daughter Beth,
