WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, in
the Field, June 1.-THE Germans en-
gagged between twenty and thirty di-
visions in their new drive up to mid
night last night, but failed to inflict
any irreparable loss upon the French
defending army, or to attain any mill
tary objective of strategic value
Feeding battalion after battalion in
to the battle with prodigality un-
equaled during any previous phase of
the fighting on the western front. the
German high command is drawing
heavily upon reserves in an apparent
desperate effort to force some
conclusion before Americas new ar
mics can be thrown into the battle
This course has been necessitated
by the French resistance which is so
stubborn as to compel this continual
feeding in of new battalions, and has
has completely changed the German
tactics, which largely insured the sue
cess of the previous Teuton drives on
this front.
The German losses have already
been frightful, and everywhere great
heaps of unburied Boche dead are to
be found

DR.. HAM ATTACKS
FINE SYSTEM FOR
BLIND TIGER EVIL

ATLANTA Ga, June 11.-That blind
tigers are doing a big and flourishing
business in Atlanta under a system OF
light fines in the city criminal court
that amounts practically to the pay
ment of a regular license, is charged
by Rev, J. w. Ham, the crusading
pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, who
has launched movement to secure an
amendment to the city charter of At
lanta authorizing the recorder to i'm
pose fines as high as $1,000 for viola
tions of the prohibition law
Dr. Ham asserts that the police au-
thorities are doing their duty well in
running down blind tigers and making
cases against them, and that they are
given the heaviest fines in recorders
court that law authorizes, but these
fines are not heavy enough to stop
the illicit traffic in liquor, and the
city court is letting the blind tigers
go with light fines which they can
we'll afford to pay
DR.. Ham further charges that blind
tigers are selling whiskey to officers
and soldiers in practically all the ho-
tells and the pool rooms are regular
nests for blind tigers which should
be cleaned out by closing all pool
rooms for the duration of the war.

The great majority will come back
with waving banners to receive the
proud and grateful acclaim of the

Certainly gloomy prognostications
and headshakes will not help them
In what they have to do. They
themselves are meeting the ordeal in
no such fearful trepidation, but with
eager heroism-a song on their lips
| and a light in their eyes-and with
unshakable confidence in victory.
There will be casualties, alas! But
there is no need to anticipate disas-
ter, no need to stir the hearts of
wives and mothers and sweethearts
already overburdened with anxiety
by dwelling upon dangers and in
dulging in morbid imaginings.
This is War for Civilization. and
civilization is restraint. The nation
has uncomplainingly accepted the
burdens and restrictions imposed
by our entrance into thet war, and
our young manhood without a mur-
mur has subjected itself to the rig
orous discipline of the training
camps and the hazards of the bat
tleheld. Can we not match their
fortitude by curbing our apprehen-
sive impulses and helping to main
| tain a spirit of public cheer and con-
! fidence?

front to whom she is devoted has

the world Many a night she has

parture, but not even to the mem
bers of her own family will she con-
fess how deeply she is affected.
Recently she was deeply hurt by
the criticism of one of her friends
who told her that from her actions
no one would believe that she cared
what became of her brother Fear
full of losing the good opinion OF
| those she knows, she has written to
ask me If 1 think she is wrong in
thus yelling her true feelings.

patriot, a worthy sister to that brave
boy "over there" and one of whom
he can feel proud. Wailing and lam
entation might crafty the morbid
interest of a few of her acquaint-
ances. but it would not help heI
brother in the slightest degree. II
would merely. If he learned of it
distract and dishearten him from the
business in hand.
When will people learn that the
deepest emotions are those which

himself into his wife's grave is the

Sorrow comes to us all. Bereave-
ment is the common lot. And we
manifest it very largely according to
our individual temperaments and the
customs in which we have been
reared
The philosopher Bion observed
cynically of the king who was tearing
his hair out by handfuls: Does this
man think that badness is a remedy
for grief?" Yet the monarch was
merely conforming to the proprieties
of an exotic age. 1t was once as
much de rigueur to sit in sackcloth
and ashes as it is to-day to wear
black gloves at a funeral.
In ordinary times 1 have no quar-
rel with black crepe. For myself 1
have always eschewed it, yet con-
cede the perfect right of those to
whom the wearing of it serves as a
consolation, or who prefer to abide
by the settled convention.
But these are not ordinary times.
The great duty of to-day is to main
tain spirit of CHEEKY optimism and
courage, and so help to preserve the
morale of our armies in the field and
OF the nation as a whole. The
mourners must not go about the
streets.
The psychological effect of mourn
ing is depressing, and the world to-
day needs all the hope and all the
sunshine that we can give it. Let
us follow the gallant example Of the
women of England. who. rather than
optrude their private sorrows upon
the national consciousness - and
scarcely home there has been left
untouched-have practically discard
ed the suits and trappings of woe.
very wisely our Government has
recommended for those whose sons
