arded their entire future on this big
attack"
This statement, made to the Unit
ed Press by a representative of the
British general staff, authoritatively
represents the views of that body.
The Americans must buy their
experience, like every one else,
continued the officer but they are
good business men and will buy 1t
at the cheapest market and sell it at
the highest price to Germany. The
Americans will make good. They will
never let go until they do.
During the past week in France,
a series of minor operations have
been in our favor. Wherever the
Germans broke in we drove them out.
This is satisfactory because the
Germans are extraordinarily good at
infiltrating, holding and improving
positions, due to the good training of
their regimenIal officers, subordinates
and staff
THE air fighting also has result
ed satisfactorily to us. From May 9
10 Is, seventy-one German airp1anes
were brought down, while only nine
teen OF ours were missing. Our air
situation is infinitely better than last
year and was considerable factor
in halting the first phase of the Ger
man offensive.
The Germans are now oiling up
for a real effort The longer they
wait the more troops they can put
in. II they wait little longer they
can renew the offensive on as big a
scale as they began tia fifty mile

mans wait the more time it gives us

 There had been three previous at tempts during the night by someone to disturb the school. Four schoolboys who help me guard the building reported two of the attempts, and in each case we could hear an attempt being made to knock plank off a window on the north side of the building. We were never able to see anyone, although we could see where they had worked. The men are undoubtedly determined to get the Bar ker school"
 Two bulletholes through the front doors and one hole through the side of the doors, piercing from the outside, were seen by police authorities who answered Watchman Wiggins call for assistance The first attempt to gain entrance to the school was reported Thursday by

He didn't rave when the Banner
:. Was passing by in parade;
He sometimes forgot to arise
When the National Aair was
played.
He didn't enthuse at the bugle
Or the speeches the mayor read,
He'd lost his love for his country,
The people around him said.
He didn't come to the town hall
Cramful of us patriots bold,
Who loried long to the echo
When tales of our prowess were
told.
He seemed to think we we're boast
We growled at the things he
said
We thought him poltroon and a
coward,
And that's why we cut him
dead!
But now we've found that the
cheering
Isn't all that the nation needs;
That noisy toasts to the Banner
Had better be backed by deeds.
Misjudged him? Sure! And l

That some OF us feel quite queer

And all of us loud ones here!
