CHECKED DRIVE SHOWS VALUE
AMERICAN COOPERATION,
French Commissioner Says Failure of
Offensive in Its initial Drive is
Characteristic of New Phase
of War.

Washington, July 1.-THE initia
failure of the new German offensive sc
carefully and formidably prepared, is
characteristic of new phase of the
war, said M. Edouard De Billy. deputy
! French high commissioner to the
United States, in discussing today the
results Of the first two days of fight
ing east and west Of Rheims.
The success Of the Franco-American
cooperation, Mr.. De Billy said already
has been demonstrated and he added
that the Allies can wait for the future
with the same confidence shown by
the population of Paris under the long
range gun bombardment.
"The result sf chg first two days
fighting is, on half Of the freHt, de-
cidedly In our favor" said Mr.. De Billy.
"Over the rest Of the front, the enemy
succeeded in gaining at most four
miles at the price of heavy losses.
Everybody feels that the first phase
Of the German offensive is failure,
and this may mean within a few days
the failure OF the whole offensive.
"For two months Germany has used
all possible msaHs in her power to re-
place her losses in men and to raise
the offensive power of her army:
"Reinforcements taken from the Ger
man troops of occupation in Russia.
use Of hussiaHs tto replace German
workers.
use Of Austrian troops for second
ary tasks at the rear or on Belgian ter
ritory,
Suppression OF aii the delays grant
ed to drafted men.
Drafting OF part Of the class 1920.
"By these efforts we can appraise
the results that Germany is seeking,
and the importance of an offensive that
cannot be indefinitely repeated; Ger
many's human supply is not inexhaust-
abic.
with an adversary fss whose
strength seems to have reached its
utter limit, the French army of 1918,
in spite of the strain of former battles,
in spite of an extension of the French
front of nearly 100 kilometres has
never been materially and, morally
stronger.
American assistance, growing every
day, has given us, II possible, still
greater confidence in the final victory.
On the Fourteenth of July, the Ameri-
can people expressed their brotherly
love for France. On the fifteenth the
soldiers of the United States fighting |
with the French have sealed this pact
with their blood.
"The first days of the battle have
shown the success Of the Franco-Amer.
can cooperation which was started
asst year by the secretary Of war in
Washington and in the training camps
of America. 1t has found it's noblest
on the battlefield where an
American division lost seven of the
.en French officers who fought with
t. Each of them gave happily his life
% fulfill the mission which they had
been trusted by the American govern
nent and staff.
with such troops, inspired by such
! spirit of comradship and sacrifice,
We can wait for the future with the
confidence shown under the lombard
nent by the population of Paris"

FROM CAMP JACKSON,
To the Chronicle:

To the Chronicle:
If you will permit me | will give
you short sketch of my army life
since being called to the colors April
1st. Was ordered to report to Camp
Pike April I'd. En- route saw much
pretty country and many pretty places.
Spent two months and week at Camp
Pike, Ark, when orders came to trans
fer about four hundred Of us to Camp
Jackson, S. c. The trip to the latter
place embraced about fifty hours ride
on special train. We had plenty to
eat. Also had doctor along in case
any of us got sick. We laid over in
Memphis, Tenn. for As minutes and
the ladies there treated each of the
boys to an Ice cream cone. At Athens,
Ca, the Red Cross girls were looking
for us for two hours before We got
there and met the train with plenty
of ice tea. Each boy was asked to put
out his cup and, believe me, we had
a good time. At another small town
the girls came to the train with cake
and buttermilk and we sure did feast.
At Camp Jackson we have large
number Of men, IA Y, M. c. A. build
ings and library in zach, also pic
ture shows. We have had few sand
storms up here, which is something
we don't have in old Mississippi. We
have several head of horses and mules,
artillery, ETC., also aeroplanes and OBJ
servation balloons. The Red Cross
nurses go by our barracks every even
ing.
l won't take UP too much space in
your paper this time. We realize we
are going across soon and ask the
good wishes of our friends. Letters
from the home folks will certainly be
appreciated when we get on the other
side.
Hoping for safe return,

Pascagoula, Miss, July 10, 1918.
! To the Chronicle:
Bravo! | have just read the most
sensible reply of Hon. Milton H. Smith,
president of the L. e. N, Ry., to the
challenge of Hon. w. B. Thompson,
president of the New Orleans Dock
Board, anent the ship canal project
and it pleases me beyond words to feel
that he is strong enough to stand pat
on his position against the digging of
an unnecessary arm or indenture of
the mighty Mississippi river
Build ships" is a patriotic slogan
for the people to lean on. This is not
the hour to entertain artificial water
ways, nor is it the opportune moment
for improvement of natures streams
and inlets. Expenditure Of time and
money should be directed toward
actual shipbuilding under present ad-
mirable conditions, not wasted on
speculation and exploitation.
Pascagoula and Mobile are building
ships on the banks and shores of bays
and rivers already provided by a wise
Creator and the consequence is that
these ports are fiourishing COM
munities.
Patriotism consists in serving our
glourious republic unselfishly and
without regard to present and future
emoluments.
Bayou Casotte on Pascagoula bay
offers the best indenture on the north |
ern shore of the Gulf of Mexic, free
of charge, for ship construction.

Prisoners, Gun and Materials Taken
In Drive.

London. July 18.-French troops
have gained the ravine at the river
Crise running into Scissors on a five
mile front down to the east of
Buzancy, which means maximum ad-
vance at this point of five miles, ac-
cording to news received in London
tonight.
Up to o'clock this afternoon French
troops had captured the heights over
looking Fontenoy on the extreme left
and had progressed to Mont De Paris,
within mile Of the city of scissors.
An American division cooperating
with the French troops in their counter
attack have captured the town of
Virry, about six miles south of Sois-
sons, and have advanced three miles
beyond the town, the advices add
South of Vierzy on the heights north
of the river Ourcq valley, the Germans
hastily counter attacked and the sit
uation at that point still is obscure.

THE BELAlR.

Have we builded any better than We
built the Number One
Can she sail wee knot faster, can
she tote an extra ton?
Are her lines little finer, Is she
stronger any way;
Will her fame be any brighter In the
part she has to play?
Captain Favre quite plainly told us
they were watching us in France;
That their lives depended on us. moth
ing must be left to chance;
That the battle lines we're longer than
they were two years ago,
And though distant from the trenches,
we were graphing with the foe.
Everytime spike was driven. in
some coffin went a nail,
And a stitch In shroud was taken
with the bending Of each sail.
Twas the Kaiser's shroud and coffin we
were striving to complete
And for him with Satan's angels we
bespoke good front seat.
All the heroes of the conflict are not
tenting at the front.
Though thousand miles from Fland-
ers, you may share the battles brunt.
Do the part that is assigned you. do it
quickly, do 1t well
That the Reign of Mars. be ended, for
remember War is He'll
May each worker hover humble know
his country leans on him,
Though he may not bleed in battle. he
can highest honors win.
Let him pause not In his striving
Save the boys who left the plow.
Give us ships, and give us more ships.

congregation at Our Lady of Victories

the cowardly propaganda being spread
by German sympathizers that France
was bled white. 1t is for such in
famous lies. said the Bishop, that the

stronger today than when she drove
