 Tehre were neavy attacks against the British on the Frenchleft all day yesterday The British immediately began pushing troops down toward the gap after the Germans had driven an entering wedge and hard fighting en- sued. \ particularly sanguinary strug- gle was waged at Vierstraat northwest of Wytschaete and here the contend ing troops fought in and out of the hamlet tor hours.
 The British counter stroke which busted the eGrmans from Villers-Bre- tonnerx. south of the Somme, was a great success from the start. The town had bean cleared of the enemy by yesterday afternoon, with the excep- tion 1.-two pockets" of infantry. These pockets were cleared up last evening"

Hail the Marines

Out of the murk and gleam that shroud the desperate defense of Picary and Elan ders by the Allies are coming many epic tales of heroism that will live as long in song and story as Roland's defense of the pass at Roncesvalles or the charge of the Old Guard at Waterloo English, French, Scotch, Irish and Canadian heroes there have been plenty, and now comes the American into his own. The marines First to Fight, have won undying glory in the great battle of the Somme. Out of one unit of 250 of these fighters, l6l were either killed or wounded in defense of their positions. Losses of sixty per centl And still they fought on America has her tra- ditions The minute men at Lexington The storming of the heights of Saratoga Marion men. Jacksons hunters at New Orleans Gen. Taylor little army at Buena Vista. The heroes of the Alamo. Prick ett's charge at Gettysburg. The indomit- able courage of the Union troops at Cold Harbor. Custer's last fight on the Little Big Horn. All these are examples of Amer ican heroism that we fondly believe rank with any of the older traditions of the old world And now our newer civilization has entered the arena of France, the most glorious in all the world, and there, in com petition with the bravest and the best, has won laurels that will never fade. Hail the marines! First to fight and first to die. Hail the engineers who fought with Cary and who are dead now, but whose deeds will never die How fine 1t Is to do great work greatly and fail not These men we have sent to France They are worthy of Marion and Jackson and Custer. Steel rods in the concrete foundations of the repub- lie. Without such deeds and deaths every generation no nation can endure in the world in greatness and in peace.

large groups of Germans, putting many of them out of action. Eventually they returned safely to the French line.
 Sergeant MOuren, commanding an- other tank, noticing a German field battery retreating, followed it to at tack the gunners. He was 800 yards within the German lines when his motor refused to work The sergeant dismounted with his crew under hurricane of rifle fire and detached the machine guns with which he re- pulsed a large force of Germans who attempted to approach, firing until the last reel of cartridges was spent. The entire crew, except the sergeant. was wounded, but the sergeant gathered the injured men and they made their way through thickets to the French position.
 Both tank commanders received the cross of the Legion of Honor on the battlef ield.
 Would Separate Armies A general idea of this resumed Ger man offensive demonstrates that the enemy plan was to thrust at the june ton of the French and British armies protecting Amiens with an intention Of separating them During the course of Tuesday night the Germans opened an artillery preparation of extreme intensity. having taken advantage of the respite in the fighting to bring forward many guns. At dawn on Wednesday morning the British start ed counter bombardment. Shortly afterward the Germany infantry un- successfully attacked the line north of Villers- s-BrettonneuX. At the same time the French poured barrage fire on the Germans advancing toward Hangard- d-En-Santerre. The fiercest fighting ensued throughout Wednes- day and Wednesday night and as result the enemy captured Villers- BretOnneuX, except a few houses ir the outskirts. The enemy then got within 800 yards of the eastern limits of Cachy and occupied Hangard wood, while in Hangard itself they gained the cemetery and even surrounded the village but the French would not give up.
 Germans Hold Hangard Simultaneously the Germans made some progress toward Hailes. During Wednesday night the British firmly held their positions immediately around Villers-Bretonneux and regain ed some ground. Large German fore es were thrown against Hangard and the village changed hands on several occasions, finally remaining in the pos 1 session of the Germans this morning. The hold of the French on Han gard had become extremely difficult after the fall of Villers-BretonneauX. but they maintained their desperate defense for a long time in hope that tho latter village would be recaptured. Such si the actual position as this dis patch is written.

YPRES SECTOR
 ENDANGERED BY
 HUNS ADVANCE

Kennel Hill and is six and a half miles west of the Ypres-Comines canal which runs almost due south from Ypres. The evident purpose of this attack is to roll up the allied posi- tiOns south of Ypres and force a re- tirement from that war-tortured town. The position of the Germans is such that only the sternest defense will avail to check their threatening ad- vance.
 At other points along the battle line the Germans have made no important gains.
 At ViIlers-Bretonneux the British have held their lines and completed the work of clearing out the last Ger man positions on the ground held be- fore the German attack on Wednes- day but Hangard apparently still is in German hands, and the Teuions have forged ahead just to the north of this village and are reported to have launched attacks on the town of Cachy, without. however, having oceu- pied the place.
 Capture Hill s2 Further south immediately north of Castel, the Germans have penetrated the village of Hailles and are in pos session of Till S2, south of the village. The French have eounter-attaeked on this front and regained ground.
 At no other point has the enemy advanced. although bitter fighting has been going on in many sectors in both the Somme and Armentierss battle area.
 There have been artillery duels at various points along the French front to the north of the Somme, as well as positions further south. Only the usual patrol engagements have been reported from the Italian front

WHEN THE FIFTH ARMY FAILED

Kansas City Star: In the fighting in the north for the last two weeks the Ger mans have been unable to make anything like the gains that were made in the early days of the offensive. They have bitten in five, six, seven miles But there has been no such sweep as the one that carried them the thirty-five miles from St. Quentin to Montdidier in the last days of March. Mill tary men had figured in advance on pos sible gain of five miles by concentrated attack A 35-mile gain was never dreamed of
 1t was because of the unexpected char acter of the gain that the situation was so disturbing in the first week of the often sive. All standards of judgment seemed overthrown. People could not avoid ask ing themselves where the drive would stop.
 Of course the censorship has hidden the details of what happened in those days of retreat. But information that has gradu ally leaked out has indicated that the un- usual German success may have been due not so much to enemy strength as to weak ness in the handling of one sector of the de fense-that occupied by the Fifth Army under General Cough
 The first news that reached this coun- try of any trouble of that sort came in Lloyd Georges speech in the House of Commons, in which he explained the situ- ation on the western front. He then an nounccd that Cough had been relieved. While II would be unfair to censure the gen eral in advance of an inquiry, he said, it would also have been unfair to retain him in his command.
 Since that time Coughs friends have come to his defensewith assertions that the fault was not his, but higher up, as he did not have sufficient troops to guard the sec tor assigned him. A recent cable to the New York Times records conversation with the French general who apparently superseded Cough on the third day of the offensive. The French general remarks that the Fifth Army had had bad luck. It had been taken unawares and was in danger of losing cohesion. He cannot praise too highly, he says, the devotion with which the British corps commanders exc cuted his orders, and the magnificent man. ner in which the men held out
 In plain language, the Fifth Army was surprised and pretty nearly routed, and new commander had to be rushed in with supporting troops.
 It is fair inference that the bad man. agement of this army was responsible for the gap that enabled the Germans to make drive of thirty-five miles instead of five miles Such instances have occurred in every army and in every war. The Ger mans had their General Cough at the Battle of the Marne in Ven Kluck
 If inc inference Is correct it carries sat- isfaction. It IS much more consoling to think of the extent of the German drive as due to the accident of the defense than to think it measures the superiority of the Ger man offensive over anything the Allies could bring into the field against it.

Beef went up from five to six cents on the pound in Kansas City this week with startling suddenness. Now Kansas City is, next to Chicago the western cen Ire of the packing industry. Beef is hauled in trucks within few minutes from pack ing house to retail and wholesale butcher. So, when the prices jump in Kansas City they may be expected to soar elsewhere. Increase in the price for cattle on the hoof is given as the main cause. If this is really true, then the consumer can meet the blow with better courage and fortitude

WHISTLE ROBS ALL
MADISON OF SLEEP

Several thousand hours of sleep
were lost in the aggregate by Madi-
sonites early today when passenger
train No. 512 on the Northwestern
line shrieked into the city.
The whistle valve on the big engine
became stuck when the train left
Okee. From 4:40, when the noise
neared the city, until $40 when the
steam in the boiler was exhausted,
the shrill notes brought early risers
to the Northwestern roundhouse.
The fire department and the police
station were besieged with inquiries,
while all efforts to muffe the noise
were fruitless. Another engine took
the train to Chicago.
Roundhouse Foreman George Schim-
ming and later F. J. Zoelle, agent for
the road, tried to deal with the loco
motive Gunny sacks were used to
muffie the whistle, but they were
blown away. There was 200 pounds
steam pressure in the boiler, and
though it was blown off as rapidly as
possible and the fires drawn, an hours
disturbance resulted. Schimming
risked the scalding steam in trying
to loosen the whistle valve.
Williamson street and other streets
near the yards were thronged with pc
destrians and autoists.-Madison Jour

MANY ATTEND
SUMMER SCHOOL

The demands of the war and the
unique Home Base" conditions
brought about by the world strife have
confronted the Y. M. G.. A. with new
problems that, despite the stress of
the times it is meeting with exception
al success.
This is the opinion expressed today
by F. A. Bailey, who has just returned
from the annual summer school ses-
sion of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation college, held on Lake Gene
va. "The Summer School session was
marked by perhaps a greater serious
ness and more pronounced determi-
nation" he said, "than any in the
thirty-tnree previous summer schools.
Much Of this was due" said Mr.. Bal
ley, 'by reason of the war work
school, which had an attendance of
approximately 1876, every man of
whom will wear the red triangle, eth
er with the armies in France or in
cantonments here.
"This war work school, said Mr..
Bailey, sis one of the most remarka-
BILE classes l have ever seen. It will
not be brought to a close until July
25, when the four weeks intensive
training course ends" After that the
