New York, June 10.-The Germans
in the center OF their new attack on
the front between Montdidier and
Noyon have gained additional ground
against the French, but on both the
right and left wings they are being
held.
In violent successive attacks Mon
day they captured the villages Of
Meyre. Belloye and ST. Maure and also
pressed forward and gained a footing
in the village of Marqueglise, the last
named place reporting the deepest
point of penetration since the or
fensive began-between five and six
miles.
The French are still eXacting heavy
toll in lives from the Germans as they
deliver their attacks in waves, and
are giving Ground only when forced
to do so under superiority OF numbers.
Nowhere has the enemy been able to
pierce the front, which has been bent
back whenever the necessity arose.
The battle is described by CORE
spOndents as one Of the most furious
that has been fought since the war be-
gan with the enemy unusually rech-
less, wasting life to gain his object
ives.
The latest official communication
from the German war office says a1-
ditional ground has been gained by the
Germans southwest of Noyon agains,
newly brought up French reinforce
ments and that the Germans have
taken about 5000 prisoners and some
guns.
Near Bussiares, northwest OF Cha
teau Thierry the Americans ana
French AGAIN have delivered strong
attacks against Germans and taken
more ground. They also captured a
number of prisoners and thirty ma
chine guns On the remainder or lne
front in France and Belgium the oper-
ations have been of a minor nature.
although south OF the Somme the Brit
ish near BousenCourt have carried out
an operation which Strengthened out a
threatening salient that sagged in
their line.
As the Austrians continue to bring
up large forces of men behind their
lines in the Italian theater, the artil-
lery activity and raiding operations
are daily increasing. Throughout the
mountain region from Tonale to the
Brenta river. and along the lower
reaches Of the Piave river the guns OF
both sides are engaged in violent
duels. Numerous massed attacks have
been attempted by the Austrians on
various sectors but all of them were
successfully repulsed Aerial opera
tions on a large scale also are in
progress and fights in the air are OF
daily occurrences.
Large quantities of explosives have
been dropped on enemy positions by
Italians and number of enemy air
craft have been shot down.
In the Macedonia theater there also
has been an increase in the artillery
activity the enemy bombarding the
allies on both sides of the Vardar
river. On the part of the front held
by the Serbians the artillery fire has
been unusually severe.

were made by Rev. Litchfield, Rev.

After the program the visitors were
invited to inspect the filter which had
Just been installed by the Parent
Teacher Association.
One hundred and sixty pupils were
enrolled in the grades and eighty-six

as soon as they have housed their
crops. This bids fair to be another

ON THE WRONG TRAIL.

The law governing school truancy
seems to be not well understood by
the public. A number of trustees
have sent lists of such children to the
county superintendent of schools.
The law does not give the superin-
tendent any authority nor require
any duty of him in such cases. The
law provides the teacher shall report
children who are absent from school
more than two days in the week, to
the trustee. 1t is the duty of the trus-
tee then to carefully investigate the
merits of each case, and If he thinks
conditions warrant procedure
against such a delinquent child, to
then go before the county judge or
the nearest magistrate and file a CON-
plant. -.,..--.,-a. ..;...

PROHIBITION ARGUMENT.

One of those unanswerable and
convincing arguments that is making
the country bone dry, was made at
Narrows Sunday afternoon. Ion
Coppage, a young man who had been
out west for some time, came into
Narrows on the afternoon train from
Greensboro, 1t is reported, and alight-
ed from the train in a drunken con-
dition. BY reason of such drunkenness,
the report goes. he fell against Mrs.
Hayden Westerfield and knocked her
down. Mrs. Westerfield tainted as a
result of the nervous shock. Wester-
field swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Coppage, and the sheriff
went to the boys home Monday for
the purpose of arresting him, but he
could not be found. Considerable in
dignation against Coppage exists
among the citizens of the neighbor-
hood, and IL he is apprehended he
will probably pay well for his mis-
conduct. Young Coppage's parents
are excellent people, and on their ac-
count the incident is deplorable
Such examples of disorder are more
effective in forming and confirming
prohibition sentiment than public
speeches or newspaper propaganda.

A PUSH AND A PULL.

Along with Capt. Cox and a big
bunch of kids, we watched the show
unload Tuesday morning. And we saw
a sight worth while. The tent pole
wagon, weighing perhaps five tons,
ran over an embarkment while un-
loading, and was with much difficult
ty gotten back ON the railroad grade.
Eight great heavy draft horses were
attached to the wagon, but were not
able to bulge ii. The showmen then
unloaded their herd of elephants, and
two big five ton elephants were driven
to the back end of the wagon and the
word given for push and a pull,
but the load did not move. The forces

RAIN AND THE CROPS.

Lacking information about the nor
NAL value of Ohio county crops, we
do not know what specific value to
put on the recent rains, but it prob
ably will run into figures nearing the
million mark. AS a rule the farm er
is scared worse than he is hurt, when
floods and drouths are considered,
1t is apparent now that the dry wealth
er was not nearly so serious as It APP
peared before the rains came.
The improvement in the corn crop
is very great, but the most marked
improvement is in the tobacco crop.
Before the rains it was thought to-
bacco could not possibly make half
crop, and now it is apparent we shall
have, barring hail, storms and frost,
one of the biggest and best crops
of recent years. Sorghum, peas. soy
beans and other late growing crops
are in splendid condition. Late pas
lures promise unusual usefulncss.and
fall garden truck will be abundant.

AN EXPLANATION.

Our attention has been called to
the possible misconception of the YER
biage used last week in reporting the
filing of a damage suit against Barnes
Brothers, of Beaver Dam. We said
the suit had been filed "for the kill
ing" of the young lady. ION account
of the killing" more properly con-
veys the idea we had in mind, but
the article further explained the cir
cumstances by stating the defendants
had become such only by the reason
of the ownership of one of the cars
in the collision, and there was no
intimation of personal responsible
ity. AS we stated, the car in ques-
ton was driven by another person
and Barnes Brothers knew nothing
of the accident until they heard of
it by public report. We expressed
no opinion, as we had none, as to who
was responsible for the accident.

BUGGY WHEELS GO ROUND.

The federal order prohibiting the
use of automobiles for Sunday pleas
ure rides was generally observed
Sunday, and it is expected a saving
of $4,000, 900 in gasoline will be saw
ed for each day so observed.
But the folks will ride, and more
buggies were in use Sunday than we
have seen for sometime. Young men,
old men, women and children were
out on the roads in the oldfashioned
way. Some of the buggies showed
want of paint and some of them
ratified like a moving machine in
gear, but it was a ride, and every
body was enjoying it. We may yet re-
turn to more primitive customs be-
fore the Kaiser and his six sons are

force of the allied armies has accu-
INFLATED until victory begins to show
its shadowy light on the bloody hori-
zon. In vain has the German COM
mander brought up division after di-
vision of reserves and thrown them
against the wall of his assailants.
Line after line has given away. One
after another of his positions has fall
en- into the hands of the victors. At
no point has the Huns resistance
been able to hold more than a few
hours. On a hundred and fifty mile
front the enemy is on the run. The
famous Hindenberg line has been
pierced at vital point. The Noyon
sector, the coalfield so much needed
by the Hun, has fallen into the hands
of the Allies. The retreat of the
enemy approaches the condition of a
rout, and everywhere great numbers
of prisoners and guns are being
captured. The German newspapers
now talk of nothing better than an
effort to hold their lines. They
no longer talk of the possibility Of
victory. Considered all in all con-
ditions have not been so favorable
since the opening of the war. Let us
be of good cheer. The end is in

that the Germans had neither the

but the German command feared the
discomfort that this step wonll awake

JUST FOR ONE DAY
WE WERE BOYS AGAIN

The circus came to town Tuesday,
and Just for a day we wei q all boys
again. or course we older ones went
only to take the children, but we were
there. We did not, of course, care
to see the show, but having no chill
dren to take, we went as a reporter
for the paper.
"There is a sameness about shows
that makes them insipid" was the
comment of the man who had seen
all the big shows" but notwithstand-
ing the "sameness" he found an OK
cuse to see it. May be the elephants
looked as common as the cows of the
pasture, and the tigers just over
grown cats, to the old stager of the
circus, but there was at least one
new joke in the comedy of clowns.
Clowns spring about three new jokes
every seventeen years, and to avoid
missing them one must go to all the
shows.
The Sparks show, exhibiting here
Tuesday, was a clean and pleasing
entertainment. The old shell game
and short-changing features of the
small town show of twenty years ago
was conspicuous by their absence.
The menagerie was the best ever seen
in Hartford and the ring entertain
ment clean and entertaining. The
exhibition here Tuesday will insure
the Sparks shows a liberal patron
age when it may be pleased to play a
return engagement at the Ohio coun-
ty capital.

FIFTY AND THE COST.

Moved to pity by the consuming
thirst of the citizens in and about
Rockport, Ethel Taught was gener-
ously attempting to relieve their
misery when Marshall Langford, who
has imbibed the strange notion that
an officer should do his duty though
the stars fall. and the thirsty go
thirst, arrested him and brought
him before the county court to rem

Rockport.
Taught had one pint and thirty
half pints of liquor upon which he
was attempting to profiteer upon the
thirsty and long-suffering citizens of
the city-on-the-Green, who were will
ing-yea, anxious-to be profiteered
upon, when his altruistic relief work
was interfered with. Judge Cook
decided Ethel had offended the Dig
nifty of the law about fifty dollars
worth, and so fined him. 1t is not
known If the Judge used an ex-ray,
but it did so fall out that Ethel mad

has left Hartford since the first
men were sent. The young

this fact perhaps accounts for the
good cheer that prevailed at the de-
