GREAT BATTLE

One of the greatest battles of the

man offensive and it's failure to ac-
complish the ends sought, it is thought,
will mean the end of the war. The
battle commenced on Thursday, and is
on col0ssa! scale, extending along
the entire front, d distance of fifty
miles,. The concentrated German fore
es was directed against the British and
upwards of million men of the enemy
pierced the first and second lines OF
| the British, near Cambria, st. Quentin.
The death toll on both sides is very
heavy, but dOubly so with the German
| army, as it attacked openly and in
| solid ranks, and were moved down
numerically by the machine gun fire
of the British. The death toll so far
is estimated at a quarter of million.
The British retired to lines of defense
prepared long ago, and are holding
the lines against the terrific Onslaughts
OF the enemy. The Americans, French
and British are all i'm action.
The announcement that Germans
were bOmbarding Paris astOunded the
world, as it meant that shells were
being thrown distance OF over so
miles,. Heretofore the most powerful
guns have been able to hurI projectiles
only twenty miles.
German reports are that they have
captured 10000 prisoners and 800 can.

WHAT WOMEN
DID TO HELP
WIN The WAR
Woman Artist Worked In Harvest
Fields In Indiana and Made u
Success Of II.

Out in Indiana a portrait painter
who belongs equally to America and
Europe, worked as a farmerette dur
ing the past season, regardless alike
Of cold rain or midsummer heat. She
went into the harvest fields before
sun-up to help gather the grain, and
finished her labors by helping the
farmers wife wash the dishes.
1t is a long step in industry from
painting princesses, celebrities and
millionaires to shocking oats, but Mrs
Mira Edgerly, artist traveller, and citi-
zen of the world, has proved that she
can do the one as we'll as the other
She says, moreover, that she found
one task quite as interesting as the
other. She is widely known in Wash
ington, which has just learned of her
experiences.
Mrs. Edgerly became a farmerette
quite by accident. She did not belong
to a unit of the Woman's Land Army.
She made her experiment alone. II
just happened, she says, for she had a
spare month not provided for in her
plans She had gone to Chicago, af-
ter several weeks passed in Washing
ton, d. c., to execute an important
commission. War work called the
man to sit for his portrait out of the
city, so Mrs. Edgerly sought a place
in the country where she could real
ly rest. Someone directed her to La
Porte and thence she ventured to
Westville, where she found board on
a farm.
In Washington, the artist had been
engaged for several months in making
character studies of men and women
whose names are known in the great
world. An exhibition of portraits
marked, "Edgerly," had attracted
| much attention and she had more re-
quests for sittings than she could
grant, for her fame had preceded her.
