 NOON SUMMARY
 ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY, June S.-The pressure of the >allied forces against the German lines northwest of Chateau Thierry is in no way relaxing. Steady gains are being made by the French and Am, erican troops between the Marne and OurcQ rivers. The German forces yielded readily to the first thrust of the allies last Thursday. These enc my troops have shown no material strengthening since the allied attacks started. The French and Americans are making their progress in a series of violent local operations So far none of these operations dur ing the past few days have resulted in failure. The whole German line at the tip of the salient which had been driven into the allied line has been pushed back. This tip extends for about 10 miles to the northwest of Chateau Thierry. The combined French and American troops are now astride the ClingOn river.

By strong fighting they push. ed the way through Chezy to the eastern outskirts of the town. By this gain the French have control in ,his vicinity of the important highway running through the town ,c the Narne river. Steadily showing the resisting Germans before them, the French troops reached the west ern edge of Dammard village. Their capture of this village is expected at any time. as the fighting con tiules to rage in the edge of town.
 Along the front extending from Bouseasches 10 Lsthoiet in the dis tr,e. south oi Veuiily Ia POlerie. the Germans have launched several severe attacks. These attacks have been repulsed with heavy losses tO the Teuton forces by the valiant French troops, the Germans being unable to make any impression on the allied lines along ..:s front.

Thanksgiving this year, which would
not be present had it not been for the
guiding hand of Providence. God in
his own good time has given us peace.
This peace, coming as a great triumph
of right and justice, brings a wonder
full new meaning to our already sacred
day of Thanksgiving. In the future
it will be day observed in thought
and prayer by the whole world instead
of by this country alone.
Complete victory has created the
promise of new day, a day which
will see the passing OF armies and
nayies as a method Of setting dis
puts between nations. In this future
day, which will be blest with the hap
piness and prosperity of free nations,
the people of the world will abandon
those barbarous methods of destruc-
tive warfare and substitute quiet
thought and reason.
Our gallant army, with the armies
OF our allies, has won immortal glory,
unstained by aggression. We can we'll
be proud and thankful that no Ameri-
can army has taken part in war
| for supremacy or territorial aggres-
sion. This latest exploit is a fitting
climax for so stainless a career.
In the flush of victory we must not
lose sight of the new and greater du-
| ties which are now before US. From
the splendid radiance of this ap-
preaching day we must take new
courage and with the hels of
Almighty God we will do our best to
surmount the new difficulties which
may arise during the reconstruction
period.
This coming Thanksgiving Day has
a new meaning for us and for the
whole world. Let all be greateful and
offer heartfelt thanks on next Thurs
day to Him who has made this glor-
ious new era a possibility

SCHOOL NOTES

Nov. % the Juniors and the Seniors
had a debate, in the Senior High
School Assembly hall, at 2 p. m.
The question was: Resolved that
Capital and Labor should be Compel
led to Settle Their Disputes in Legally
Established Courts of Arbitration"
The Juniors had the affirmative and
the Seniors the negative of the ques-
ton. The Junior debaters were:
Mildred DuBeau, Olga Houghton and
Homer Bisel. The Senior debaters
were: Donald Lewis, Chester Bisel and
Oliver Cass.
Unfortunately the debate could not
be made a public affair, because of
the activity of the "fiu" in Sank Cen
tire.
It was an intensely interesting de-
bate from the time the first speaker
on the affirmative introduced the
question until the last speaker on the
affirmative finished his rebuttal. 1t
was full of good laughs, witticisms
and strong arguments. Each side
brought out their points clearly and
forcibly. Each had rebuttal on every
point the other brought up, and the
only thing which prevented them from
saying all Of it was the time limit of
five minutes each. When the audience
was not Laughing it was listening so
intently that one could almost hear a
pin drop.
At the end of the debate, the aud
fence was very much divided in its
opinion of which side had won. The
decision was very close. The final
decision stood: Two for the affrma-
tive and zone for the negative.

Last Thursday Mr.. Aygarn gave a
short talk to the Senior Assembly on
the friendship of England for the u.
S. He told how this had been dis
played in many ways by her and how
he thought it was time now for us to
repay her. He said he hoped union
of all English speaking nations would
come out of this war and that, if so,
the union could resist any force that
came against it.
All the exams are over and the
pupils are settling down again for the
next six weeks. The marks were as
good as could be expected under the
difficulties of the last six weeks.
