BOY, GIRL, JOIN A
CLUB-RAISE A Pig

VIII you raise pig for sol
diers-you, boys and girls on the
farms; and you, boys and girls
in the suburbs who have space
available? The United States
department of agriculture is
seeking to enroll 100000 boys
and girls in pig clubs this year
Junior soldiers of the COM
missary." If $4,000 members of
pig clubs produced 100000
pounds of dressed pork last
year, how much pork will &c.,
600 members turn in to the ma
tional larder in 1918? Every
boy or girl who can do so should
raise one or more pigs for Uncle
Sam and thus furnish the meat
supply for a soldier. Ask your
county agricultural agent about
this opportunity or write to the
director of extension at your
state agricultural college.

Misread Anleri-
can Sentiment

Amsterdam, April S.-Nearly all
the German newspapers received here
contain long articles devoted to the
anniversary of the entry of the Unit
ed States into the war. Many jour-
mails indulge in speculation regarding
the wisdom of dragging America into
the conflict against Germany, and
some come to the conclusion that it
was unwise to array the United States
against the fatherland.
The Taeglische Rhundschau says
Germany lost her last chance to keep
the United States out when she "faiI-
ed to prevent President Wilson's re-
election because of his anti-German
learnings. But" says the newspaper,
''it is well to remember that Mr.. Viii
son will soon come forward with
another peace proposition.
The Kreuz Zeitung says: "The u
boat was useful pretext for Ameri-
ca to enter the war and we supplied
it. 1t enabled President Wilson ef-
fectually to conceal his true war mo-
tives. We thoroughly misread Ameri-
can sentiment"

With the American Army in France
April 8.-Two German raids on diff
ferent sectors of the American posi-
ton northwest of Toul were repulsed
this morning with enemy casualties.
The Germans were driven off before
reaching the American trenches by
accurate machine gun and automatic
fire.
At one point the Germans laid
down a box barrage. AS soon as this
lifted, the Americans came up from
their shelters and poured heavy fire
into the advancing raiders, who re-
tired after a short period of close
fighting with the American outposts.
At another point the Germans
threw hundreds of gas shells before
advancing, but the Americans quickly
donned their gas masks and waited
for the raiders. These they quickly
dispersed by their fire.
The Germans kept up a lombard
ment on the American positions all
afternoon.
