Soissons- Rheims salient
They have attacked over front
of more than three miles on each side of
the village of Nesles. the apex of the
Allied wedge north of the Ourcq Their
greatest advance was toward the east,
where the Americans pushed on some
distance from the town of Sergy and
approached Chamery.
Although the announced purpose of
the attack was the Strengthening
out of the line between Seringes and
Cierges. this is really secondary to
the outflanking of the Germans to the
southwark. The enemy Is holding
very strong positions at Roncheres
and ST. Gemme, where his line is still
less than five miles from the Marne,
and a continued advance between
Nesles and Cierges would force him
to fall back to escape being cut off
from the rear.
This seems to be the only sector
where the Allies are attacking with
their infantry. Reports from the
front tell of heavy artillery fire along
the most of the line between Sois-
sons and Rheims.

lines on the heights of Bligny. south

MEN WHO CAME BACK
WHAT THE ENGINEERING CORPS
 MEANS.

Copyrighted by the British Canadian
 Recruiting Nilsson.
 By Captain W. D. Powell:
 Something of what the engineering corps means to the army is shown by comparing the casualties among the men in the trenches the first winter with those of the second winter when we better understood what trench warfare meant.
 During the first winter of the cam paign in France, the British Expedi- tionary force had SO 900 casualties from what is termed trench feet" In general casualties" refer to men killed, wounded, or missing. and about per cent of the wounded are able to go back into the service. But these SO 900 men, casualties from trench feet, are still living. although unfit for further army service, and many of them incapacitated for life. The next winter we were better prepared. While the British expedi- tionary force had about ten times as many men in the trenches, casualties from trench feet were almost insigni- ficant as compared with the previous winter.
 The work of the engineers in mud and ice in the trenches, putting in proper drainage systems wherever possible and putting in a flooring trench mats" wrought big changes in the casualties lists.
 The work of the engineers in France is totally different from that

to excellent use another season. Those who had small gardens last year are going to have bigger ones this year. They are going to help do their part in increasing the nations food supply in the same degree that the farmer will by putting more land under cul- tivation and relying upon farm ma chinery to offset the labor shortage.
 The early frost of last fall was not 6 bit encouraging to the amateur gar dener but the farmer suffered worse for he had more at stake, The latter Is not going to fall to plant this year because of that. however, and it should not deter the home gardener. All are richer in their experiences because ei their loss and should be better pre- pared to protect themselves next time The conditions of today make it ne cessary for everyone to do all possible to help himself and there will certain. ly be 2 bigger opportunity than evel for the home gardener

THE ATTACK ON THE TUscANlA.

There is no reason to be surprised at the rejoicing which is taking place in Germany over the SUCCESS of one of its underwater boats in sending the Tuscania and number of American soldiers to the bottom of the sea. Ger many has reason to be elated over this as much as it would have in case of victory on land where hundred or two lives of the enemy were taken There is no question but what the attack upon the troop ship was jus tified, but that is one of the few in stances where it's submarine warfare has been carried on according to the rules of. war,
 Germany must realize, if it stops te think, that 1t was not because 1t gave notice to the world that it's U-boats would sink all troop CT war ships tha this country entered the war. It wa: because of the unjustified attack. which were made upon shipping il general, neutral as well as beiIigerent the taking of lives of non combatant. without giving them an opportunity tt escape, the disregard for the rights O neutrals on the high seas. the sam' kind of Prrssian militarism which i was infiicting upon others that caused this nation to break away from it neutral position.
 Had Germany confined itself to tn established rules of the war ther, would have been no Lusitania cas- and American troops would not be go ing to Europe today. The sinking o the Tuscania was the first time tha successful and legitimate attack wa made < upon "a troopship carryinl American soldiers but it was not tn first time that American citizens wer
 unjustly killed or drowned becaus of the ruthlessness of it's war policie. The only elation over the Tuscani therefore can be that Germany san it within it's rights but that of cours is something unusual for Germany.

THE UkRAiNiAh PEACE.

The long expected turn in the nego- tiations which have been going on for a number of weeks between the cen- tral powers and representatives of different sections of Russia has appar- cntly occurred in view of the announce.
 ment which has been made to the ef- feet that the bolshcyiid have declared that the end of the war has come in that country and the order to with draw the Russian troops from all fronts. It looks like a successful &C., complishment of the German efforts
 What the terms are under which such an announcement is made is not revealed and the effect that will be caused thereby will depend thereon All indications point to the fact that the secret understanding arrived al between the central powers and the representatives of Ukraine who arg opposed to belsheviki rule in Russia has forced the hands of Lenine and Trotzky to conclude terms of peace Whether this is So or whether it is al
 a part of the plan of the bolshevik will be revealed in time.
 It is not surprising that the nations | of the central powers are elated over the successful negotiations with the 1 Ulkranians. This means that that par of Russia is going to come under thu | influence of Germany for future ex-
 ploitation and that the resources O
 that richly productive portion of Rus
 sia are going to be made available fol
 the supplying of the much needed
 foodstuffs for Germany and Austria
 The Ukraine delegates have not oni. | played into the hands of the centra
 powers but they have placed Rumanis
 in a most awkward position.

PLAN TO PLANT.

In view of the fact that it requires no small amount of planning and there are sections of the country which can engage in it much earlier than others, it cannot be considered too early for the movement to be set on foot to get the people Interested in the home gar- dens for this year. It will be only a comparatively short time before it will be spring in the south. and while we wish it might be so here we know that it cannot be many weeks before the record breaking winter must come to an end and attention can be given to the working of. the soil.
 Much benefit was gained last year through the planting of home gardens. It was an experiment for great many and the experience Is going to be put

CHANGE OF TAX RETURN DATE

It is useless for the government to expect the people to do the impossi- ble when it is not prepared to do as much itself.| It is therefore a wise decision which has been made by In- ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper 10 extend the period for the filing of income and excess profits returns a month from the first of March to the first of April.
 Q Had there been no obstacles in the wax of complying with the demands it would have been as easy for the peo- ple to have filed their returns by the date first. set as a month later but no little delay has been occasioned by the inability of the government print ing office to get out the large quan- tity of blanks which are required, there being the forms for three classes which have not as yet been issued and when it comes to the matter o1 complying with the demands of the government regarding the excess prof. its returns no one knows as yet what is required, the problem regarding these matters being decidedly com. plex, and when it is understood thai with all the study which has beer given this matter there are many points upon which no definite ruling has been established it is only proper that this extension of time should bs granted. =

Views of the Vigilantss
LINCOLN.

By Ellis Parker Butler of The vig-
 ilantes.
 Washington created a nation: Lin- coin preserved it. With his embattied farmers Washington fought for the principle of self government and vre- ated a nation based on the right of men to govern themselves, and the re- suit was the first great democracy of modern times. With force of arms and ideas Lincoln fought to preserve that democracy from disintegration lest it ne5flt become in time a horde 1 of pretty, intellectual states, powerless against any autocratic conqueror. That which Washington made pos sible and Lincoln made permanent i was a democracy so virile that today I 1t is the greatest nation on the sur I face of the globe, and the happiest, and the most contented. That which Washington created and Lincoln pre-
 served has proved for all time that mans happiness and safety and op- porturity for development arc great

 served by Lincoln is now existent in sister der1ocracies throughout the
 world. Working out their peaceful des-
 tfnies while assuring their inhabitants | in their rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, these sister de-
 rnocracies have won a right to exist ence and to continuance of the self
 government they have voluntarily l chosen.
 Today these sister democracies are attacked and their existence as free democracies imperiled by an auto- l t1f 1afn existence threatened by the growing spirit of self government among its own people. Governing by Might this ruthless power seeks, by war O, conquest waged against democracies
