to forest obstacles. Both were unon
much the same scale: both were the
same complete local success, based in
each case upon surprise, and in both
cases the local cause of the attack
probably was the discovery that the
enemy was preparing to use the sec
tor IN question for further attack
on his own part.
Inc British action was undertaken
IN front of Hazebrouck junction. Mt
the northeastern corner of the
Nleppe, which covers that important
point. 1t was delivered on front of
about 5000 yards, held by two d.
visions-the 32d Saxon, think, upon
the right, and the 42d Reserve. which
is Prussian division, upon the left.
The attack was delivered early Fri
day morning and completely defeated
the force opposed to it, occupying to
the depth of mile all posts that the
enemy had established. 1t had the
advantage of surprise and was ef-
fected with comparatively small loss,
and though the number of prisoners
taken was not large in proportion to
the sector attacked the losses in
f1icted were heavy and, what is of
more Importance, there was evidence
that high disorganization of the enc
my forces had been caused. Just over
400 prisoners, two field guns and
numerous machine guns were taken.
and it is estimated that about 1000
OF the enemy were put out of action
in addition to the prisoners.
10 the north Of the main sector
attack Australians supported the
movement on the flank, the main &C
ton being for the most part the work
OF British country troops. The enc
my had not constructed any regular
trench system, but had only linked
up crater holes and he also depended
further back upon strong points or
gained in the ruins Of farmsteads.
The French attack was delivered
on the northeast corner of the Forest
Of Villers-Cotterets all along the
rather deep valley of Lastersines-
C@uvres. This is a region where,
after the battle of Matz, the enemy
made a strong local effort with no
less than six divisions to outfank
the forest positions. Had he sue.
ceeded he would have got into the
open country which lies west of the
forest and between it and the Forest
of Compiegne, and this would have
begun to turn the great obstacle
which the Forest of Villers- Cotterets
presents. He so far succeeded that
he pushed the French back beyond
the ravine of which l have spoken.
and apparently he was preparing an
other stroke in this region when the
French surprise attack of Friday,
June %, was delivered at the same
hour as the British effort in the
north.
We have not yet been given any
details as to the numbers and de-
scription of the German troops on
this front of over six thousand yards,
but we may presume that, as in the
British case, some two or three d.
visions were engaged. The number
of prisoners taken was large-1 200
in all.
The belt of strong points seized by
the French covered, as in the case of
the English attack, about a mile, or
little more.

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Aus
trian government has issued secret
circular containing instructions to the
auth critics as to how to proceed in
order to put down the Jugo-Slav move
ment, according to information re-
ceived by the Serbian News Bureau
here.
The police have prepared blacklist
secuted according to we'll known
methods" the advices state. Pressure
is to be used against the Jugo-Slav
clergy and state functionaries, and the
circular orders their intimidation.
Austria, in seeking to minimize the
Importance of the Jugo-Slav movement
and to discredit it in foreign coun-
tries, has falsified the census, official
being cited. There villages with no
German population at all are inscribed
in the official statistics as German.
For that reason the Slovenes have
taken their own census privately in
Carinthia, and the following shows the
number Of Slovenes found by the Of
fetal and private census:

In these four places $1,000 Slovenes
were not represented in the official

Has Three Main
Possibilities Left

Many publicists suggest that the
attack will come in the north. They
have no evidence upon which to go
and l do not propose to follow them.
All we can say is that the enemy has
three main possibilities before him
the northern, central and southern
avenues of attack. But he has ex-
hausted about half of the total mar
gin of men in sight for him between
March and September, and if he tries
anything less than complete break
ing of the line it will prove that he
has been reduced more than we
thought, or that the original failure
of his plan to separate the French
and English armies on March % led
him to dissipate his campaign and
trust to the chances of following up
that one of several blows which may
prove the more successful.
The minor actions which alone dis
tinguish the last week in June-one
British and the other French-are
not things to exaggerate in view of
the tremendous struggle which the
enemy will renew at the earliest pos
sible moment: that is, after he has
fully recruited, reorganized and re-
covered from the heavy check which
he suffered rather less than three
weeks ago on the Matt. But they

enemy has the initiative through his
now greatly superior numbers; he
can strike where he will until that
advantage is lost to him, until the
rapid growth of the American re-
cruitment. He cannot strike when he
will, because we have seen each check
compels him to pause, and in proper
ton to the severity of the check is
the length of that pause. We're he
free of this disability he would have
made the battle continuous. His sue
cessive losses after each partial fail
ure have rendered continued action
impossible.
He had, roughly speaking, six
months in which to win or lose.
Throughout that period the handicap
in his favor will get less and less.
The first and most favorable half of
that period has already been con-
sumed. He must now finally break
the line and get upon a new Allied
flank in the remaining three months
or expect defeat.
The opportunity he now possesses
resides principally in the fact that
he has already gravely limited the
power of the Allies to manmuvre.
Any considerable retirement in the
northern sector will imperil the ports
through which the British army is
supplied. Any considerable retire
ment in the central sector will I'M
cover Amiens, and imperil commu-
nications between the northern and
southern portions Of the Allied ar
mics. Any considerable retirement
III the southern sector will imperil
Paris, with all the political conse-
quences involved.

Courage is a matter Of the blood.
Without good red blood man has
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock Of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
30 years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause 1t contains no alcohol or narcot-
lc. 1t Is made up of Blood root. Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry

made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce
In ready-to-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as DIR.

1t will be observed that the average
price of land has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with linn
tied means.
A good idea of advancement in
country's progress may be obtained by
knowledge of what has been done in
the production of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada, country whose
fame having been heralded as grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to, 1t will be realized that there is
there vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take ad-
vantage of it. In the three provinces
in 1912 there were-horses, mllch cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head. while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
419,512; in 1916 1,69S,22O.
One marvels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the. nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor-
tunities for growth at the beginning of
that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Can
adas at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbor a nation of over 100000
000-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have a stimulating effect
on its progress. Already one sees
signs of it on every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any
country, but this land is already made
available by network of railways.
Cost of production of grain is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on a basis of those of the United
States.-Advertisem
