This added service to its readers means little profit for The Graphic as the war has increased the cost of obtaining news many fold.

GERMANS MEETING
HEAVY -REVERSES
OVER FIFTY MILES FRONT THE
ENEMY is MEETING WITH
DISASTROUS DEFEATS.
FRENCH ALSO MAKE MAKE GAINS
American Troops Are Not Mentioned
In Battle; Probably Reserved for
Later and Heavier Blow.

Over the 50-mile front from the re-
gion Of Arras to the north of Soissons
the German armies are meeting with
defeats which apparently spell dis
aster. Everywhere the British and
French forces have continued on the
attack, the enemy has been sanguinar-
lily worsted. And the end OF his trials
is not yet in sight
To the British over the 30 miles Of
the fighting zone from the Cojeul river
southeast Of Arras to Lihons, south of
the Somme. numerous towns have fall
en-, and the enemy territory has been
penetrated to a depth OF several miles.
Where the French are fighting be-
tween the MatZ river and the territory
north OF Soissons additional goodly
gains have been made in the envelop-
ing OF Noyon and the general maneu-
yer which seeks to crush or drive out
the Germans from the salient be-
tween the Somme and the Ailette. and
to put into jeopardy the entire Ger
man line running to Rheims
Notwithstanding the fact that tho
Germans brought up large numbers of
fresh reinforcements in an endeavor
to stay the progress OF Haigs armies
their efforts were without avail.
Where they were able momentarily to
hold back their onconing foes. the
Germans finally were forced to cede
the ground demanded. And they paid
terrible price in men killed, wound
ed or made prisoners.
The entire Arras-Albert road has been
crossed by the British. The strong.
ly held positions where the Germans
saw disaster facing them IL they fell
were stormed and captured. and the
British pushed them going eastward.
Although the Americans at the
commencement OF the Somme offen-
sive were brigaded with the British
along the northern bank OF the Somme
no mention OF their having taken part
In the fight is made. 1t is probab BILE that
they have been moved to some other
portion OF the battlefront from which

Along Somme-oise Front.

While the Germans were busiIv
engaged In defending themselves
against the attacks OF the British and
French armies from the Ancre river
to the region OF Scissors, Field Mar
shall Haig struck another surprise
blow over new front.
The new offensive was launched
from the east OF Arras on the Scarpe
river and southwark to the Co;eul
All along the front the British pre- ed
forward. at some places to a depth of
more than two miles.
Across the Cojeul. the new British
attacks on the old battle front brought
them to the villages of Mory and St.
Leger. and farther south the small
town OF Favreuil, one and a half miles
northeast OF Bapaume, from which
the British pressed on eastward abou;
a mile. Farther south the British nrs
reported uuofficially to have reached
the western outskirts OF Thilloy in
the nipper movement they are carry
Ing out against Bapaume.
The French again are hammering
away at the environs OF Rove, one OF
the strong points of the Somme- Disc
front, the capture OF which doubtless
would cause the giving up by the en-
emy OF the entire salient from the
Somme in the north. to Noyon. Fres-
noy-Les-Roye, to the north. and st.
Mard TO the south OF Roye. both of
which have been captured by the
French. despite the desperate resist
ance OF the Germans. and Roye like
Bapaume in the north, apparently is
in danger OF being pinched out OF the
line In an enveloping movement. More
than 600 prisoners were taken by the
French in the operation.

An OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN
Prepare for Yet Larger Part That
Women Must Take Before End
Of Tho War.

In 1894 the state legislature opened
the doors of the University Of South
Carolina to women. Very few, how
ever, attended at first and OF these,
80 per cent were from the city Of Co
lumbia. Ip the last three years the
numbers have been steadily increas-
ing. In 1917-1S nearly one-sixth Of
the students were women. The grow
ing popularity Of the university
courses with the citizens Of Columbia
is especially noticeable. In 1914 a
home for girls was begun on Marion
Street and continued on the corner
Of College and Pickens till 1918. Last
June the board took a decided step
forward when. they assigned to the
women the western wing OF DeSaus-
should be devoted to the same pur-
pose IL the attendance justified
The girls in DeSaussure will be un-
der the care Of competent matron
and will have their meals in a private
dining room at the stewards hall.
Twenty dollars per month is the
charge for board and lodging. In 1918
~.
Holman were awarded the degree OF
LII. B. by the university, the first wo-
men in South Carolina to receive this
degree. The legislature of 1918 allow
ed women to practice law in the state
So the year 1918 was epochal in the
history OF womanhood in the univer-
sity and the state. The demand for
women lawyers will become greater
during the war as so many Of the
male lawyers are in the service. Peti-
CRU College, the handsome new law
building. will be finished by the open
ing OF the session and will be one of
the most complete and attractive class
room buildings in the state.
Under the direction of the new
school Of Applied Science various bus
mess courses will be offered. such as
bookkeeping. accounting. stenography,
typewriting. mechanical drawing and
kindred subjects. These will prove
most attractive to women when so
many avenues OF business opportun-
fty are opening to them. Notwithstand-
ing the lure of these various occupa-
tions the majority OF women will in
the future, as In the past. turn in
stinctively to teaching. Nowhere in
the state are there better pedagogical
opportunities than at the university
whose school OF education, under the
wise guidance of Dean Patterson
Wardlaw, has long held a deserved
ly high rank.
AS a matter Of interest to the alum
nae roll Of the women students Of
the university from the time they first
entered the institution will be pub
lished shortly in the form OF bulle-
tin. AS this will be the first list Of
the kind published by the university
