IN MAY
MAY has come with all It's splendor,
lVI Nature wears the smiles of spring
Buds burst into blossoms tender,
Joyfuly the birds now sing.
The radiant sun In all her glory
Shines upon the earth below;
No words used in song nor story
Could her unmatched beauty show.
Twilight comes. the sun descending
Far beyond the wooded hill.
Leaves the day in darkness ending;
Night prevails, serene and still.
At this hour. when moonlight, glowing.
Tints the landscape, lake and wood,
Memories come; tits now I'm knowing
My loneliness and solitude.

GERMANS CONTINUE
MIGHTY EFFORT TO
BREAK ALLIED LINES
FRENCH NOT ONLY HOLD HUNS
BUT ARE ABLE TO RECAP.
TURE TERRITORY
LOcre, Which Fell Into Enemy's
Hands Late Monday Is Regained
by the French in Dashing
Counter Drive - Allied
Lines In Flanders
Hold Firm Under
Heavy Blow of
Hun HOrdes.

With the British Army in France,
April 3O-Further desperate smashes
by Won Arnims army against the AL
lied lines on the Flanders battlefield
yesterday afternoon and evening met
with no more success than the enc
my's futile and costly attempts earlier
in the day to break through and cap
ture the hill positions west of KEN
mel.
Not only did the British and French
maintain their positions at virtually
all parts in the face of furious on
slaughts, but during the night they re-
claimed several bits of. territory on
which the enemy had succeeded in
getting hold.
Locre had again fallen into German
hands, late yesterday, but the French
once more made dashing counter
drive, and thrust the enemy out of
this important place.
The Allied lines in Flanders this
morning were to all intents the same
as when the Germans surged forward
yesterday and in front of the defend
ing positions gray uniformed men lay
in great numbers, representing the
awful price paid by the Germans.
North of KENNEL the British and
French, countering in conjunction, al
so pushed forward somewhat during
the night and bettered their positions.
At one time yesterday the Germans
actually had some men on the lower
slopes of both Mont Rouge and the
Scherpenberg, after they had succeed
ed in driving a small wedge into the
French line between these two eleva-
tons.
Fierce fighting about Locre all day,
and the enemy sacrificed great num-
bers of men in an attempt to push
through here.
In the meantime the fanks we're
holding brilliantly against successive
shocks. A particularly bitter battle
was waged astride the Kemmel-Le
Clytte highway near the junction of
the French and British. Here the
enemy tried his favorite trick Of di-
viding the two forces, but he found no
weak spots.
At ridge wood, west of Voormezeele,
heavy fighting also continued
throughout the day, the Germans los
ing great numbers Of men, both kill
ed and wounded. II is impossible to
say how many attacks the enemy
made at this point during the course
of the day: they came forward in
waves throughout long hours. There
was no cessation of the terrible bat
tie. The wonder is that the Allied
troops we're able to hold in the face Of
such onslaughters by superior num-
bers.
The German artillery. which has
been greatly augmented for this at
tack pounded the back area inces-
sanity. and the duel between the op-
posing guns Of all callbres from Sat-
urday until last evening was appall-
Ing.
The British improved their position
slightly before vIllers-Bretonneux
The enemy artillery was very active
In this region. and the enemy guns
were inorsssinsly busy from vimy
northvard.
Thus FAR the German capture Of
KENNEL has done them little good. ioI

The regular monthly meeting of the
City Board of Education was held last
night in the Superintendent Office in
the High School building and trans
acted some very important business.
The main business of the evening
was the election of teachers for the
ensuing term. The present faculty
remains unchanged with the follow
ing exceptions:
Miss Elsie Heller of the Latin De-
partent resigned to take up Y. w. C.
A. work.
Miss Florence Shaw of the Eng
lish Department and Miss Frances
Geisel, domestic science Teacher, re-
signed to accept other positions.
Mr.. George Noel, mathematics
teacher, resigned to enter the mill
tary service.
Miss Leila Gray, teacher of the
third and fourth grades in the For
est Avenue School, resigned and Miss
Flossie Jones, of this city, who has
been teaching in the county, was
elected to fill her place. The other
vacancies have not been filled.
A motion was made by Member Cal
vert to renew the teaching of the
fifth and sixth grades in the Sixth
Ward but was rejected by the board
because of the small number of pu-
pits in these grades in that ward.
Because of the increased cost of
living the board decided to increase
the salaries of the teachers next year
twenty per cent.
