representing the awful price paid by
the Germans in their attacks.
This morning the allied lines In
Flanders were to all intents the same
as when the Germans surged forward
yesterday.
At one time yesterday the Germans
appeared actually to have had some
men on the lower slopes of both Mount
Rouge and Sherpenberg after they had
succeeded in driving wedge into the
French lines between these two eleva-
tions.
things looked critical but the French
counter attacked determinedly and re-
established virtually the old position.
The artillery was increasingly busy
this morning from Vimy northward.
Thus far, the German capture OF Kem-
mel Till has done them little good for
the entente allied artillery has kept
the crest so smothered in she'll fire

enemy to occupy 1t in force.
Fierce fighting continued about Loore

great number OF men.
At the ridge wood west of Noor-
mezeele also heavy fighting continued
throughout the day, and the number
OF German casualties in that region
was great. 1t is impossible to say how
many atatcks the enemy made in the
course of the day. They came forward

MORALE OF U. S.
TR0OPSABROAD
FIRST REGIMENT Of ORGANIZATION
TO LOOK OUT FOR WELFARE OF
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE HAS BEEN
FORMED.

New York, April 30-To strengthen
the morale of American soldiers in
France by protecting and providing for
the welfare of their dependents at home
is the purpose of new organization
denominated Soldiers Families of
America, the first regiment OF which
has just been organized here. Mrs.
Walston Hill, the national head OF the
new organization hopes the unit form
ed here will serve as model for sim
liar units to be organized throughout
the country.
Judge WsifEDk H. Wadhams, one OF
the leaders IN The movement has been
in France and England for the past
three weeks outlining the plan to the
men in the trenches and camps and re-
ports from him are said to be fun of
enthusiasm. He went abroad to study
the needs of the soldiers and bring
bFck practical suggestions from Off
GERS and men for the speedy promotion
of the work.
Briefly the project contemplates
Establishment of a regimental fam
lily unit for each regiment in the SER
vice of the United States, dividing the
families into companies corresponding
regiment, each company OF the regi-
mental family unit to have its chair
man, the wife, mother or sister of the
captain of the corresponding company
in actual war service. The executive
committee of the regimental family
Unit is made UP of the chairman OF the
Various companies and1 the wives or
near relatives Of the majors
The company chairInen are to appoint
the heads of two committees rhe
soldiers need committee and the home
welfare and family needs committee.
The duties of the first is to do every
thing possible to send cheer and COM
fort TO the soldiers at the front. The
second committee requires that each
member look out for the welfare OF at
least ten families OF soldiers, make per-
soral friendly visits and operate with
all the beneficenee~ef fraternity and
not cold charity.
If j member of the home welfare
committee asecrtains that the family
of soldier has not received from the
government its allotment of the SOL
dier's pay, funds are to be advanced by
the committee. Employment will be

Mrs. Brown, the president. In organ

try, says that ''the cheer and comfort
which the social meetings viii bring
to the families of soldiers is bound to
be reflected in the messages which go
TO the men at the front and In just the
degree that the men are heariened and
made to feel at ease about their fam
lilies, Will the morale OF our army be
raised on the pathway to victory"

BIGGEST SINGLE
DAYS BUSINESS
TO THIRD LOAN

Washington, April 30.-Yester-
days Liberty Loan subscriptions
tabulated tonight by the treasury
were si7l.0O0,00o, the biggest sin
gle days business in the campaign.
This made a total of s2.45s. .O0o. 900.
The most notable feature of the
district loan records was the squirt
OF the Atlanta district from thirty
seven to fifty-eight per cent in a
single day, bringing it within seven
per cent of the New York district,
which now stands second from the
bottom. Atlanta's sudden jump is
attributed largely to special efforts
to improve the standing of that dis
trict.
