GERMAN ARMIES
ARE BEATEN BACK
ENEMY OFFENSIVE FROM Gil
VENCHY TO YPRES is
CHECKED.
ENEMY RUSH IS STOPPED
Defensive Line Is Holding Firmly
Despite Repeated Desperate AS
saults Which Cost the Hun Ap-
palling Losses.
(Associated Press Review.

Although the great German thrust
launched last week against the Brit
ish lines from Giyenchy to Yprcs
has bent back the British front bad
" in this entire area, the offensive
here stands checked today and in
imminent danger OF utter failure, so
far as the larger results aimed at
are concerned.
Field Marshal IIaig's troops yes
terday had to meet one of the Sc
verest tests yet put upon them in
withstanding a German effort TO
broaden out the salient created be
fore the early impetus of the Ger
man drive in the Lys battlefield was
spent, They came through the or
deal with colors flying and com
pletely stopped the German rush.
From Giyenchy to st. Nenant, an
eleven mile sector on the southerly
side of the salient, German troops
were hurled in masses on the Brit
ish positions in an effort to break
through to the southwest behind
Bethune and compel the British to
fall back from Givenchy and along
the front southwark toward Nimy
Ridge and Arras.
The defensive line held firm, de
spite repeated desperate assault.
which cost the Germans enormous
losses, and last night the battle had
died down to an artillery duel. Cor.
respondents on the front declare the
British front is now more secure
than it has been for days.
Further efforts probably OF Al
equally determined nature may b,
expected from the Germans, who ar,
in too exposed a position from en-
lilading guntlre in their narrow sa
lient to rest comfortably where they
are. Indeed, they resumed their at
tacks last night in the Mount KEN
mel region on the northerly side o
the battlefield, southwest of Yprcs
where they are finding the British
firmly installed on the dominating
heights. These assaults, like tn,
preceding ones, were failures.
On the Somme battle front, tn
French have held their gains of yes
terday in the region of CaStel, whcr
they drove the Germans furthe
from the line of the Paris-Amien
railway in a spirited local attack
German machine gan nests on tn
front Of the attack were wiped ou
by the French during the night.

in the chamber of deputies to-
day that Italian troops would

The announcement, which

applause, was as follows:

admiration the heroic efforts
Of the Anglo-French troops on
the western front, could not
remain absent from the battle
fields of France. She wishes
to bring to her allies tangible
proof of solidarity, and very

Presidents S Daughter
Will Sing In Ardmorc

Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter
of Woodrow Wilson, will sing in
Convention hall either next Thurs
day or Friday night, Miss Wilson
will be brought to Ardmore by the
Lions Club, which yesterday arrang-
ed for a guarantee fund to assure her
appearance here.
Choice of the dates of April Is
and 20, next Thursday and Friday
nights, were offered Ardmore, and
Thursday night, as announced last
night at Convention Hall, was first
chosen. Later it is discovered that
a conflicting attraction, meeting
in the interest Of the Boy Scouts,
and an effort will be made to secure
Friday, April 20.
No reply had been received, at a
late hour today, to the message sent
Miss Wilson's manager. 1t is GER
tain, however, that Miss Wilson
will be here, either Thursday or
Friday night, and it is believed that
no one who has appeared in Ard
more will be greeted with so great
a crowd as is expected to embrace
the opportunity to hear her.
SO eager to do what she can for
American soldiers that she will pay
all her own expenses with money
earned by singing at concerts, Miss
Wilson is singing, under the aus
pices of the Young Mems Christian
Association, for the men in KHAKI
in camps as far west as Colorado
and as far south as Texas.
Miss Wilson has already given
several concerts to cover the eX-
penses of her trip, and will give
others later in the spring. Money
earned by her singing she invariably

WINTNERISMS,

In all history no nation ever took up
arms with greater reluctance, nor for
a greater, holier cause.
A year ago our president spoke and
a hundred million free men arrayed
themselves at his side, determined. if it
took every ounce of national resources
of men and money, to bare themselves
to the naked soul to repel the wicked
onslaught of the imperial German gov.
.ernment against our national integrity
Such was our promise; please God 1t
shall be our performance.
For decades Germany has pursued
a policy of aggression and been a men
ace to all of Europe. She had pre-
pared for the day when she would be
strong enough to spring upon n world
lulled into forgetfulness.
The occasion came; nay. was made
Overnight Europe was abaze by the
devils torch flung by Germany.
Providence guarded the destinies of

Rheims, before the war a city OF
more than 100000 souls, has slowly
but none the less surely been fall
ing a victim to German hate and
,pitefulncss.
In their first advance in the fall
OF 1914, the Germans held Rheims
tor several days, but the battle OF
the Marue stopped their advance,
and they fell back to a line a few
miles north and northeast of the
city. Since then the big German
guns have been bombarding the city
and its famous cathedral.
The population OF the city until
few months ago was less than 49,
600. but these persons lived in dug
outs or in cellars, and the city was
virtually dead,
The cathedral was one OF the
most magnificent examples of early
Gothic architecture, and was begun
in l2l2. The west facade had three
portals which contained about $50
statues.
Above the portals was the gor-
gcus rose window 40 feet in diam
etcr, and one Of the hnets speci-
mems of the art OF stained glass
