Iowa City, March 25.-This is the
tale of a hog-and it fairly bristles
with unusualness. The animal disap-
peared New Years day. from the farm
of P. Hedges residing near the village
of Ainsworth. and was supposed to
have been carried off by wolf. The
other day, nearly three months since
the vanishing. the porker was discov-
cred in a ditch, barred by melted snow.
1t was picked up "for dead by Mr.
Hedger, who found to his surprise the
pig was breathing. He carried it into
the house fed it with spoon-it was
too weak to take nourishment other

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 25.-The most
intense interest evidenced since the
opening of the world war has been
manifested here since early Saturday
morning when the news began COM
ing in of the terrific fighting in the
vicinity of St. Quentin. Crowds hang
around the newspaper offices reading
the latest bulletins as they are posted
in the windows and extra editions of
the papers are purchased freely.
1t is realized that the Rainbow divi-
sion and the American troops are far
to the south of where the big on
slaught took place Friday and Sat-
urday. America n engineers however
are known to have been working
north of ST. Quentin.
Students of military affairs declare
that it is to be expected that there
will be moving back of the allied
forces, in the face Of such a tremen-
dous drive. to their more fortified posi-
tions. The advanced lines of defense
are not the 1OTtlueQ strong NOUS "HeTe
the real stand of an army is made in
defensive warfare. Haig in his famous
drive of the Somme penetrated the
German line and forced the boches
to retire to better fortified positions.
The Germans broke the Italian line in
Italy but the Italians later recovered
themselves and withstood all on
slaughts of the boches.
Opinion Of Military Men.
1T must be remembered that the
allies are on the defensive and that
they will retire to the more fortified
positions in the face of such drive
said Major Lucas of the state ad-
jutant generals office when the carly
news of the drive came in.
The experienced officers at Camp
Dodge, in the face Of the serious news
from the foreign field, are viewing the
situation with much optimism. They
declare that week at least must pass
before any real conception cal be had
here Of the drive: They look for
counter drives on the part Of the Brit
ish which the Germans will not be
able to withstand
The break does not presage
