Behain Resistance Overcome.

There has been hard lighting east Of
Bohian. but apparently the OPPOSITION
there has been overcome. for continued
advances are reported.
An attack was launched this morning
east Of the Scheldt Canal and the
British penetrated for "a considerable
distance, leaving the enemy occupied
ground to the north on a still deeper
and sharper salient. Incidentally the
British here are only about Ave miles
from Douai, to the north of them. They
also are able to place an enfllading IRE
upon the Germans holding the salient
making it exceedingly uncomfortable
for them.
There continue to be indications that
the enemy realizes he must get out of
here and his plans for the moment very
probably have to do with Strengthening
his line northward all the way to the
salient the BeIgians and British have
made in his positions at Roulers. The
Germans made one weak effort to push
back the Belgians in this salient early
this morning. but the attack failed COM
pletely soon after 1t began, the Belgians
pouring In hot fire.

exceedingly enthusiastic over the work

that they are practically unanimous in
the desire to have a hand in the big

GlENWOOD LAVEN-
DER CLUB meets

On the tenth of October, 1917, six
mothers of Glenwood who We're unable
to attend lectures or other evening en-
tertainments but who wished to have
an occasional social afternoon together,
decided to form club, and all being
Of lavender age, they decided to call it
the Lavender club, and to limit the
membership to twelve.
At this meeting it was also decided
to take up Red Cross work, but they
soon found that they could accomplish
but very little, meeting but one after
noon each week. They then conclud ID
that they had better meet one whole
day each week, and this suggested the
idea of asking the Red Cross to pro-
vide them work room. The result
was that Mr.. Overlook presented the
matter to the city council and the rest
room was donated for that purpose
Mr.. Schwarz kindly donated the use of
two sewing machines and G. M. White
oho, anu sSNeldl nave peSH bc.i-
dered for use later on. The Glenwood
Light & Water company has also do
mated the use of an electric percolator
and an electric iron.
AS the club asked for the room not
only for themselves but for other socie-
ties desiring to do Red Cross work, the
result has been that the room is now
engaged by the Presbyterian Aid on
Tuesdays, the Lavender club on We'd
nesaays, the Methodist Aid on Thurs
days and the Crochet club on Fridays,
leaving only two days Of each week for
any other society or club which might
desire to engage in this laudable work.
The Lavender club, having an aver
age attendance at its meetings of eight
members since October "a, has made Is
convalcscent robes, 4 bed shirts, 10 bed
coats, As pairs of bed socks, 10 pairs
operating socks, "a pillow cases, am,
bulance cases, II T bands, knee
bands, 12 many-tail bands, 20 abdom-
inal bands and "a suits of pajamas.
Besides this they have knitted 2 he'll

GARFIELD VICTIM OF TuscANIA

A few days ago Mrs. o. B. Brutsche
received note from her friends, Mr..
and Mrs. H. G. Clover of Hopewell,
Va, expressing the fears that their
son, Gerald, had gone down with the
Inflated Tuscania. The press dis.
patches in the papers that reached
Glenwood Thursday evening confirmed
this fear and in the list of III of the
land appeared the name of Gerald Glow
er, 90 years of age and a former resi-
dent of Rifle. The Glover family made
many friends during their short stay
in the Rifle section and to these the
above will indeed prove sad recital.

"TUSCANIA"

Tuscania and two hundred dead >
Through the wild oceans swell
The cables in their oozy bed
The darkling tidings tell,
And westward in the winter night,
To dim the gold of mornings light,
Dot rings the deed of hell.
Tuscania! Rest thee and thy dead
Beneath the deep sea surge!
From out thy cold and oozy bed
Gods vengeance shall emerge.
His sea shall be our flaming path,
And in the clangor of our wrath,
The Hun shall hear his dirge.

To the Editor,
Glenwood Post,
Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Several months ago / announced my
candidacy for the United States sena-
torship from Colorado on the republi-
can ticket, and in statement given ii
the press at that time let it be known
that l would enter the republican pri-
maries in September, 1918.
Since that announcement was made.
our nation has been plunged into tho
European war and many changes have
taken place both in our economic and
our national life. The need for SER
vice is being met everywhere by loyal
men and women, yet as the days go
by suffering is increasing and the op-
portunities to aid grow still more num-
erous. Having decided to go into the
Y. M. C. A. war work, I have offered
my services to the National War Work
Council of the Y. M. c. A. for the dur
alton of the war, and they have been
accepted. For this reason I now an
nounce my withdrawal as a candidate
for the United States senatorship IN
the republican primaries this year. i,
l earnestly hope that the political
campaign of 1918 in Colorado will re-
suit to the best interest Of the state
and nation and that the republican
party will have program in which
true patriotism is placed ahead of part
isanship. Colorado must be represcn-
ted in the national congress at Wash
ington by men who are, first of all,
patriots.
To those of my friends who promised
me their support 7 wish to express my
deep appreciation.
