WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Wednesday. May 2s.-one
of the most brilliant actions Monday
was carried out by a British terri
torial division at Craonne. The Ger
mans threw their heaviest forces
against the region between Craonne
and Bermericourt where the British
were holding the line. and against the
French along the Chemin des Danes.
The British division made a most
gallant effort to stem the onfowing
tide. and even vigorously counter at
tackled against the fearful odds. The
attempt. although carried out with
spirit. failed because Of the entrance
of enemy tanks on the hanks. One
brigade of this division fought a
heroic rear guard action at Ville-Aux-
Bois, southeast of Craonne. side by
side with French territorials. The
allied troops resisted the Germans
until the last extremity.

May 26.-Some junior officers and men
having reached the last stage in their
training are taking a turn in the
British trenches. where they have all

enemy's fire, suffering slight losses.
Every man has stood the test well, and
all are eager to have their chance in

their way about this country of winding
roads and sometimes give better direc-

peasants. Few ever lose their way,

up positions in the battle line. They
are now being thrown in to strength
en- defending forces where they are
weakest, in preparation for the plac-

advance.
Fresh enemy divisions have been
brought forward hastily to take the

tinue the pressure on the allies.
The territory south of the Vesle

crossed at several points. is more diff

that the enemy intends this rush to

are being taken to stay the movement

May Get Further Territory.

The southern slopes of the Aisne
valley offered good ground to the al
lies to stand, had they been In suffi-
cient force. But the Germans were in
Immensely superior numbers. and the
allied commanders chose to retire to
the plateau beyond. and thus give an
opportunity for the reserves to con-
centrate. It is probable that. before
the advancing German torrent weak
ems, further territory will fall into
the hands Of the enemy. That, how
ever. in the opinion of French officers,
will not affect the strength of the al
lied forces, which retain their strik-
ing power for the future.
The French and British kept in the
closest touch throughout the battle,
working together as a single unit.
The spirit of comradeship was touch
ing. Both in the ranks and along the
roads wounded men Of both nations,
when able to walk. were helping each
other toward the dressing stations,
while all the soldiers, indiscriminate-
ly. gave aid. when possible, to the
civilian refugees.
The reserves are moving, proceed
ing toward points where they can
oppose the German rush. Among the
allied troops OF whatever nationality,
despite their lost positions. confidence
is great that the desperate effort of
the Germans will not succeed in in
fiicting more than q glancing blow on
the allied forces and that the present
situation 10 only temporary.

At last gingham has come into Its

attractive and practical fabric has
been sighted by everybody except the
very tiny tots and the fappers. And
what charming and alluring little ging-
ham frocks they have been wearing!
Now the older girls n women are
following suit and the frocks which are
appearing in the shops are exquisite in
their colorings and their simplicity Of
design. Aside from the fact that ging-
ham frocks are pretty to look at they
have the undeniable qualities Of being
practical and youthful.
Plaids and checks are in highest
favor. They come in brilliant combina-
tons which are almost loud and in
dainty pastel shades. Yellow, black and
white. or green, black and white make
very effective plaids.
