FRANCE, April 12.-With the excep-
tion of Melville. the Germans thus far
have not reached their objectives in
part for the present drive north and
south of Armentieres, but to-day's de-
velopments indicate that the enemy
had no intention of abandoning the
assault Immediately. A captured
German document reveals that there
we're to be three smashes on the front
north and south Of Armentiercs. One
had Bailleul as its main objective. the
Bethune.

had been employed by the enemy in

opinion of Paris. contained in Official
DISPATCHES received here to-day. France
is confident that the strategist Of the
Mazurian Lakes will fail, and that mis-
failure will mean the overwhelming
collapse of the German power. The
dispatch follows:

counter attack early to-day brought it
-back into British hands. A heavy en-
sgagement. was in progress here this
forenoon and at least four German
attacks were repulsed.

dashing drive by the Allied troops and
a footing was gained in 3 copse just
north of this place.
In the north the enemy is making
desperate efforts to get the domination
Of the railway, so that troops, guns
and supplies can be rushed forward.
The whole trend of the operations
yesterday and last night was aimed at
the capture of Bailleul, Hazebrouck,
Morbecqus, Steenbecque and Airc, all
OF them important railway towns. The
ground east of this sector is very low
and wet and is unfavorable for the
rapid movement of heavy guns. Work
on the Armentieres-Baille railway
has been rushed furiously by the en-
envy since the occupation OF the for
mer town and artillery is being moved
forward as rapidly as possible.
In the meantime the enemy has been

many tons of bombs on the packed
roads leading from Estaires to Mer-
vile, causing heavy casualties and
much confusion.

available, but the correspondent is con-
hdent in stating that not less than
forty-nine German planes were shot
out of the air and crashed to the
ground yesterday along the sector
lying roughly between Wytschaete and
a little south of Armenteres.
The German casualties yesterday
and last night were very heavy. They
can hardly be avoided in following out
the method of masscd attack being
employed by the enemy, who must be
given the credit for showing great
discipline and sticking powers in the
face of terrific punishment from ma

Yesterday afternoon a heavy attack
north of LOGON forced the British to
give some ground. Again last night

fighting followed and the enemy was
finally driven back.

OBJECT LESSON IN THE
IMPORTANCE OF PLANS

Last Wednesday The Record edi-
tor was conducted through the home
and grounds Of Mr.. ]. N. Smith on
College street by Architect Randall
L. Jones and shown an object lesson
on the Importance of competent plan
ming, both as relating to buildings and
grounds. While the outside improve
ments-landscap gardens, etc.-are
yet new and incomplete, they give ev-
cry promise of excelling anything yet
attempted here. There are no hard,
straight lines in the walks or the
hedges and shrubbery that surrounds
the ample lawns. Everything is SYM
metrical and pleasing to the eye, and
eminates sense of beauty and lux
ury seldom met with in the rural COM
munities.
The home is finished in imported
red pressed brick on the outside. and
is one Of the most convenient and
commodious homes we have inspected
INSIDE. III Is ltJeu Will diihoSt every
convenience that the fancy could pic
ture.
From the array of potted plants and
shrubs inside and the wealth of flow
ers outside, it is apparent that Mrs.
Smith is lady of culture and loves
the beautiful in life.
With all this wealth of beauty, lux
ury and convenience we are assured
by the Architect that the entire cost
including landscape gardening. ce-
ment walks, etc, is well within S10,-
10000. The trees and shrubbery for
the garden scheme has been purchased
through department of the h. A. c.
presided over by Mr. w. G, Woolley
who has also superintendent the set
ting out of the plants in accordance
with plan drawn by Mr.. Hansen OF
the Logan College faculty.
The Smiths are certainly to be con
graduated upon their beautiful home
which is one of the best in this beau
tiful residential district.

CEDAR CITY MUST LOSE
ONE OF HER DOCTORS

Cedar City has been fortunate in
the possession of two physicians and

a ,iage of the profession, both in
the practice of medicine and surgery,
doing major operations here with
degree of success which is seldom at
tanned in the rural communities. and
not often excelled in the larger cities
only great convenience and safe
guard to the inhabitants, but are also
"A financial asset to the community in
which they live.
That the urgent need for surgeons
in the army will not permit of the
leaving of two competent young doc
tors in a community this size, is the
information brought back from Salt
Lake City last Wednesday by Doctor
Leonard, who states that unless one
of them-himself or his colleague, DR..
Observation-Disclosures at very
early date, one or both of them will
be drafted. An announcement to this
effect was made by DR.. Leonard at
the Woodmen's banquet Wednesday
night Both doctors are anxious for
the experience which they would OBJ
tain in the army, and each have ex-
pressed a willingness to enlist if they
can arrange terms between themselves
whereby they can divide the pecunary
loss which otherwise would be sus-
tanned by the man entering the army.
1t is understood that negotiations to
this end are going on between them,
which will result in the enlistment of
one or the other within the next few
days.
1t is absolutely imperative that our
boys at the front receive suitable med
ical and surgical service and the doc
tors of the country are being called
upon to do their part with the men.
