Germans Fighting With
Aisne At Their Back,
In Awkward Position !,

Paris, May 2s.-The French troops
have fallen back to the eastern out
skirts of Scissors where the battle
continues with bitterness. the French
war Office announced this afternoon.
Franco British troops, the state
ment adds, have fallen back to the
heights south and southeast of ST.
Ihlerry' where they are holding posi-
uons between the Vesie and the Aisne
canal.
American troops to the west OF
Montdtdier, the French statement
says, have repulsed two German
counter attacks against the village of
Cantingy,
In the center, continues the war Of

Situation Well in Hand.

Paris, May 29.-General Foch now
has the situation well in hand and
French troops are beginning to gain
on the German advanced force in q
contest Of speed. No important line
of communication is yet threatened
by the advance OF the German crown
prince.
Those on the Somms declare 1t is
not too much to say that another
forty-eight hours will see the German
drive definitely stopped. High praise
is given the French reserves for the
perfect order in which they are COM
ing into the fighting line.
Not the least encouraging news
yesterday was the brilliant success Of
the Americans in the Montdidier sec
tor which all the newspapers feature.
It was the first important action
carried out alone by the Americans.
All reports agree that they behaved
like veterans. This is pronounced the
best augury for the early future when
American help will weigh heavily in
the balance.

Withdrew Voluntarily,
With the French Army in France,
Tuesday, May 28.-The German Of
fensiVe made only slight progress to-
day. Seeing the heavy masses op-
posed to them. the allies gave way in
the center and in some places the
enemy crossed both the Aisne and the
Vesle. s.-
The allied command perceived
when the German offensive began
that resistance on the lines then held
would be impracticable, and effected
withdrawal towards stronger posi-
tons in order to give the reserves
time to come UP, The enemy found
both danks were holding, however.
The Germans pushed forward as
quickly as possible with ali the
troops at their disposal. The allies
gave way fighting hard. Both the
French and British troops on the
fianks fought with extraordinary
courage and succeeded in holding on,
notwithstanding the great odds
against them. In some places they
were outnumbered ten to one.
The enemy now has the Afsna sit
his back and may find himself in en-
awkward position when the allied re-
servts come into action.
Paris. May 20.-The long range
bonbardment Of Paris began again
early this morning.
Examination of the shells dis.
charged by the Germans in tho long
range bombardment of Paris which
began again Monday indicates that
new guns are being used. Larger
shells are being employed than form
erly, the caltber of the guns being "a
centimeter (9h inchesD instead OF 2f.
The charge is greater and the deto-
nation louder. but the force of the ex-
plosion does not seem To have in-
creased. A she'll exploded yesterday
only a dozen yards from a man seat
ed on bench, and did not injure
him.

THE hope of the world is not alone
that the armies of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force of
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit Of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dan
gerous hour of victory to the ideals
that have forced US into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms Of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag Of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
bic language Of universal mercy and
brotherhood In the terms Of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, OF dying children rescued,
of -desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,

OUR LINE OF DEFENSE

1t is moment of tense nerves--ready
to slip out of the trench at the word of
command-and at the enemy. Our men
on the firing line are physically fit for
military service because only about one
man out of five was chosen to endure
the hardships of this fearful war But
we must not be content with 20 per
cent. in physical health of our American
youth. We cannot afford to lose four
men out of five because of physical un-
fitness. Such weaknesses can be cured.
Many times the kidneys are to blame.
If the kidneys are elogged with toxic
poisons you suffer from stiffness in the
knees in the morning on arising, your
joints seem vrusty," you may have rheu-
matte pains, pain in the back, stiff neck,
headaches, sometimes swollen feet, or
neuralgia pains-all due to uric acid or
toxic poisons stored in the blood and
which should be swept out.
Then procure at your nearest drug
store Anuric double strength). The cost
is go cents. This An-uric drives the
uric acid out. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times a day
for month.

the hearing before the Council OF
Defense showed that such is the
case. In one instance man actI-
ally understood that the women
working at the Red Cross rooms
were being paid.
BY this time every man or wc..dan
of any intelligence must know that
the Red Cross is just as necessary
to the success of the war efforts of
the government as any branch of the
military establishment. When the
Red Cross saves a man on the field
it adds just that much to the forces
fighting the kaiser II the Germans
can destroy confidence in the Red
Cross they will score a victory as
important to them as their present
offensive and if they are able to-
make the public generally believe
their lies, the Red Cross will no lon
ger receive the support of the peo,
pie.
Now the thing fo' every patriotic
American to do is 10 nail these lies
and liars at every opportunity
When one of these falsehoods is re-
peated in your presence, tell the pur-
veyor plainly that it is lie and that
he is serving the kaiser when he re-
peats it. 1t is not enough in these
days for a man to be a passive pa
triot The time has come for every
man to speak out The kaiser has
no more efficient ally than a lieing
tongue. Every patriot has duty
to perform in putting an end to in
5ldious German propaganda in this
Keep your ears open and
use your tongue freely in contradict
ing Red Cross lies and all others that
reflect upon the integrity of your
government.

THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
BY HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
of tortured humanity, the voice OF
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message Of hope to our war;
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
of declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
of woe and sustains our faith in hui
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Gross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, that inspires us with
courage and hope.
Out of this hell of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to a heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
of those ideals and principles in de-
fense Of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing its message Of life-because it
keeps ever before us and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.

TANANA VALLEY PEOPLE
 BREAK RECORD

According to the Fairbanks Citizen of June 20, the people Of the Panama Valley are still busy gathering up funds for the orphans on the western front. The Citizen says:
 All previous records are broken in the drive for the orphans fund. Last month the total amount received for the fatharless- ones of France came to s5S6.50, and the committee having the fund in charge was jubi- lant. This month eclipses all other months, and in some instances the combined donations of two months.
 The fund for the month Of May is well over the $500 mark; how much will not be known until the mathematician gets down to work and figures it out. The grand showing made by the fund for the month would not have been possible but for the assistance given by the ladies having the fund in charge at Ft. Gibbon and Tanane, the sister places.

Captain w. c. Dibrell, Lighthouse Inspector for the f6th District of AL aska plans to leave in day or so for his sixth annual tour of inspection of the entire district. The L. H. T. Cedar under command of Captain Leadbetter which is now being load ed with stores, coal and all supplies necessary for the lighthouse station to the far westward, and also an as- sortment of Buoys, spars. etc., will, it is expected be ready by Tuesday to begin the long voyage up into the Boring Sea. The Cedar will make it's initial trip this year, and considering that she is much larger ship than any the department has ever used on this trip, having been built expressly for Alaskan waters, the voyage will no doubt be made safer and more con- venient.
