ANCHOR POINT
WAS TORN OUT
When the French Took Noyon
Away from the Huns
ALLIES HAVE NOW MTAkEN IWO-THIRDS OF The GROUND
LOST BY THE FIRST GERMAN OFFENSIVE

Noyon, the southern anchor point
of the German armies in the Somme
battlefield, has been occupied by the
French. The capture of the city had
been expected for several days. The
effect on the great battle of Picardy
therefore is largely discounted.
Morlincourt, on the north bank of
the Disc and east of Noyon. has been
taken by the French. The situation
as it stands today closely resembles
that in the Marne sector after the
Germans had made their determined
stand along the Ourcq river. It was
found their resistance there had per-
mitted the withdrawal of the main
army, and it is possible that General
Won Boehm has succeeded in moving
the greater portion of the German
army and it's artillery. behind the
Somme river ard along the Ham
Chauncy line.

especially interested in breeding for
production, and the herd which has
been developed under his supervision at
the Missouri college Of agriculture has
a nation wide reputation. Professor
Eckles is also well known for his
| handling Of students, and holds a warm
place in the regard of those who have
studied under him. There is an Eckles
Club, made up largely Of such students,
who are now in some branch of the
dairy industry, whose annual dinner is
a feature of the national dairy show.
He has been especially strong in grad
uate work having been a member of

souri,, and his graduate students hold
positions of importance in many Of the

Professor Eckles is the second son of

Taylor township, and was reared on his
fathers farm.
