days, plrts of Thursday and Friday, by quick sharp blows on both Hanks.
 On the south flank, our troops ad yanced along ten mile front between Niyray and Fey-en Have, mp tnrouyn the uuduatins plain Of the Moeyre. On the west flank on an eight mile front they advanced across the heights Of the Mouse, a ridge which is six miles wide, and broken by Geep, branching rayines. By the evening CT the first day the south flank had been driven in five miles and tie north flank three miles. By evening of tho second day (Friday) the salient had been wiped out.
 The removal of the salient shortens the line 22 miles, restores rail com munication between Verdun and St. Mihiel and Foul, and gives very much better base for future offensive opera tions than existed before this drive began.
 It is to be noted that the Germai. communication says that they with e drew quietly from this sector in ac- cordance with a carefully arranged plan, but this does not cover the 13,300 men left behind They constitute th, combatant strength of an entire Ger man diyision.'
 Lacking official news Of further ad vances of General Pershing's troops within the salient, the opinion that this movement has already reached the immediate limits it was planned to at tain, gained strength among military officers.
 With the French now taking up the fight in the center of the great arch which comprises the western from from Arras to Vcrdun, it Is considered entirely probable that the next move of the American army is dependent upon the results of this offensive. Al advance af any importance by thl French will threaten the stability O. the famous n-des-Dames ridge and 10 a less extent probably will af- feet the St. Gobain Massif, upon whic! the new defenses of the Germans seen to be based.

 Marchal Foch, pursuing his policy of giving the Germans never a min utes rest, followed up the incisive stroke of the Americans which wiped out the St. AIihiel salient in two day $ time by launching an offensive Sat urday morning on the French front along the bend in the river around I.aon.
 The blow took immediate effect on the German lines, pushing them back from one to two miles at points in this important sector where it is well nigh vital for the Germans to hold fast if they hope to retain control of any considerable part of northern France during the coming winter
 Meanwhile th@ process of cleaning up the st. Nlihiel salient was being continued by General Pershing's troops, who so far are reported to have effected the capture of more than 20000 Germans as the result of the clean cut drive of the American first army
 There were indications i'll the re ports from the front that the Ameri- can snccess might have done some what more than straighten out the line above the former St Mihiel bend, for the Germans were said to be retiring near Chatillon, along a front five or six miles to the north west Of the former westerly tip of the salient,
 They were probably forced to this in the readjusment of their line to meet the altered conditions.
 With the lessening of the tension On the St Mihiel front interest is centered at present in the French as sault on the Aiette- -Aisne front. General Petain's troops here were gaining ground where every yard was extremely valuable as the German positions along the Aisne and the Nesle 10 the east have been under an increasing threat for some time b{ the French advance an their left flank.
 The advance will not have to be pressed much farther before a Ger man retreat on a wide front in this sector will be compelled
 By driving in sharply in his pres cnt move, Marshal Foch probably iu- tends to make untenable even the he Chcmn- des-Dames, the former German holding ground north of the Aisne. He has made marked prog ress already in this by taking Mont des Singes south of the Ailette. It is but short distance thence to the Anizy- Pinon line the capture of which Ey Petain last fall compelled the German Crown prince to fall lack from the Chemin-d des Danes to ,he Ailette line to the north.
 The French progress here likewise represents renewal of the drive at the St Gobain Massif and therefore at the citadel of Laon. which that hastion defends Moving directly in to the Massif further north, above the Ailatte, the French are reported tC be progressing satisfactorily

The following letter explains itself:
Madison. Wis, June 20. 1918.
To the Branches of Green and Iowa
Counties:
It is with both regret and pleasure
that the Madison Chapter of the Amer
lean Red Cross announces that the coun-
ties of Green and Iowa have now Civ
en- to them chapters of their own by the
Central Division. The separation is to
take effect July LIST. Monroe is the
present chapter for Green county and
Dodgevlle for Iowa county.
The work has grown so heavy and
bids fair to be still heavier. and such
splendid work has been accomplished in
both counties that it seemed only fair
to the Central Division and to the Mad
ison Chapter to ask of Iowa and Green
that they assist in bearing the burden
of responsibility that fails to the man
agemeut of chapter.
Mr.. McMullen, the field secretary of
the Central Division, came from Chlca-
go and has formerly created chapters
in both counties, leaving Madison with
Dane only. In future, the branches of
Iowa and Green will report to their re-
spective county chapters. receiving
their quotas and alotments from them
and sending in their finished work to
| them.
The relations between the Branches
and the Madison Chapter have been
most pleasant and it is with deep re-
greet that they are now severed.
Please be assured that we stand ready
to assist the two new chapters in every
way possible and we bespeak for them
the same loyalty and service that you
have given us so generously.
Whenever your members come to
Madison, we shall be very glad to see
you and be of service.
Very sincerely.

Screw Bores Its Own Hole,

Evidently Charles y. Woodward, OF
Providence, X. l., has often had con
siderable trouble in driving the con-
ventional wood screw Into hard wood.
for he has developed a screw which
bores its own hole as 1t proceeds. Ac-
cordlng TO his patent claims. says the
Scientific American, he has devised a
countersinking glmlet-pointed screw
having at the root Of its point bulge
constituting the largest diameter OF
the shank, and having across It's
thread spiral groove, one end Of
which forms n cutter at the bulge.
The groove goes once around the
screw and terminates at the slant of
the head and at the root Of the gimlet
point.

candidate for congressional nomination,
subject to the following condition or

If nominated at the primary and If
at the same time the Republicans nom
mate for Congress is a citizen of well

support the prosecution of the war, he
will feel it his duty to withdraw from
the contest and support the Republican
candidate. But, should the Republicans
nominate any pacidst. peace-at-any-

he will deem it the proper thing to re-
main in the fight to the finish.
That sounds awfully good. friend
Briggs, and if you'll bring your broad,
