April 16.-The German attack against
the American positions on the right
bank of the Meuse, north of st. Mihiel.
was made by force of 400 picked
troops who were recently brought
there from the Russian front. Although
the Americans were outnumbered
more than two to one, they complete
ly repulsed the enemy, driving him
back to his own trenches.
Seven days after the Germans
launched their gigantic assault against
the British lines between Lens and
Ypres, the momentum of their attack
has been broken and the waves of the
Teutonic forces are recoiling before
the rock of the British defense. While
the Germans have made gains OF
ground and have driven wedge into
the allied lines to considerable
depth, they seem to have failed in
their attempt to break through or take
important railway functions.
During the last day there have been
bitterly fought engagements in four
places, all on the northern side of the
salient to the south of Ypres. Seven
assaults against the British trenches
at Merville, near the apex of the tri
angular dent in the British line, have
been hurled back by the British.
Neuve Eglise, on the extreme south
western spur of Messines ridge, has
been taken by the Germans after a
terrific struggle and heavy losses, but
| they were repulsed near RobecQ.
The British, however, have not re-
tired far, and it is probable that they
will at once organize counter attack
Bailleul and Wulverghem, between
Neuve Eglise and Merville, also have
been the scenes of hard fighting, but
except for Neuve Eglise, the salient
has stood firm.
1t has been the German plan of cam
paign since March Fl, when the great
offensive started, to strike hard at
some particular sector, and if that
blow was parried to turn powerfully
against some new point.
This procedure probably will be fol-
lowed in the next few days by new
assault somewhere south of Arras. An
attack north of Ypres is hardly possi-
BILE, for the lowlands of Belgium are
yet too waterlogged to permit active
operations. An attack on Arras would
entail the hurting of troops against
Vimy ridge, the labyrinth and other
formidable military works protecting
that city.
1t may be that the savage fighting
reported at Hangard-en-Sante south
of Albert and on the center O. The line
| facing Amiens, may mark the begin
ming of new attempt to sweep west
ward toward Amiens. So far the fight
ing has brought the Germans only
losses in men and ground.

RESPONSIBILITY ON ALL

The responsibility rests upon every
single individual man, woman, and
clild to do the utmost in their power
to stand by the government as the
government stands behind the sol
diers who are fighting this battle for
our existence, says Richard II Ed
monds of the Manufacturers Record
In this work the War Savings
Stamps come as a powerful appeal to
the very soul of every individual in
the country
The War Savings Stamp is one way
through which every man, woman and
child can give expression to his pa
triotism. The War Savings Stamp
appeals to the boy and girl to save
their pennies as well as to the man
and woman of small income and to
those of larger income. None are too
poor, none too rich to cooperate with
the government through the making
of War Savings Stamp habit a ma
tional habit
1t has been well said that I'VE get a
habit and then the habit gets us"
If we get the habit of buying War
Savings Stamps the habit soon gets
us and enables us to largely increase
our savings to our good and to the
welfare of the nation.
We SOW an act and reap a habit.
We SOW habit and reap character.
We SOW character and reap a des-
tiny.
In the home, in the pulpit, in tie
school, in the shop, on the farm we
should talk War Savings Stamps; we
should think in terms of War Saw
'mss Stamps, and help to create such
habit of War Savings Stamp buy
ing as to make it universal custom.
In doing this we would be helping the
government in its fight to win the
war for our existence, and we would
be strengthening the moral fo ces Of
the nation by encouraging people to
save the money which is now often
wasted in trifles which help neither
body nor soul. The "War Savings
