The unfortunate auto accident
which seriously injured Charles Nor
ton on the streets of Paw Paw last
Tuesday, demonstrates the fact that
all auto drivers, and pedestrians as
well must at all times exercise the
utmost vigilance and caution. 1t is
unsafe at any time to step in the
road or on the pavement without
first looking either way to see if a
car is approaching. On the other
hand, no auto driver should ever
approach pedestrian or pass a rig
without first giving the warning
'honk". Safety First" should be
the motto.

This country is at war. Trained,
able men are needed in governmental
halls, especially in the senate, to
which comes the final decisian of con-
gress in matters pertaining to war.
Commander Truman H. Newberry is
a patriot and a fighter. If there
ever was a time in the history of this
nation that man of his caliber was
needed in the senate 1T is now. He
up to the highest stand

The latest patriotic organization is
known as the American Antibelly-
ache Association" 1t is a secret
society, which should include every
citizen in the United States. It's
members are legion in this commun-
ity, although there is now and then
person who is not yet eligible.
Following is the mental obligation
of members of this society. Study
its provisions carefully, and If you
are not yet eligible, put yourself in
condition to meet the test. 1t is a
patriotic duty to qualify for member
ship:-
avOw he belief:
That even / could not run this
war and please everybody.
That war must necessarily in
terfere with some peaceful Occu-
patiOns and pursuits;
That all men should help as
much as possible, and complain
as little as possible that they
should "can' the bellyache."
Wherefore:
/ hereby join the Antibellyache
Society, and thus becoming an
ABB (Antibellyacher), | pledge
myself to refrain ESQ far as pos
sible) from and to discourage
bellyaching for the term of the
war: to get new members when
ever possible; to impose on my
self fine, payable to the
American Red Cross, for each
bellyache of which may be
guilty.

HEAVY GERMAN ATTACK
THROWN BACK BY YANks
Huns Lose Heavily in Big Attack
Marked Bravery Shown by
Yanks in Fight.

With the French Army in France,
May IA heavy German attack
launched yesterday against the Amer
leans in the vicinity of VillersBre-
tonneux, was repulsed with heavy
losses for the enemy. The German
preliminary bombardment lasted two
hours, and then the infantry rushed
forward, only to be driven back leav-
ing large numbers of dead on the
ground in front of the American lines,
The German bombardment opened
at five o'clock in the afternoon and
directed especially against the Amer
leans, who were supported on the
north and south by the French. The
fire was intense, and at the end of
two hours, the German commander
sent forward three battaliOns of in
fantry. There was hand to hand fight
ing all along the line, as result of
NHiSh thC Nuo bdSh' hiS
dead and wounded lying on the
ground in all directions. Five pris-
oners remained in American hands.
The struggle, which lasted a con-
siderable time, was extremely violent,
and the Americans displayed marked
bravery throughout.
1t was the first occasion in which
the Americans were engaged in the
big battle which has been raging
since March 81, and their French
comrades are full of praise for the
manner in which they conducted
themselves under trying circum-
stances. especially in view of the fact
that they are fighting at one of the
most difficult points on the battle
front.
The American losses were rather
severe.

Bohemian Troops Join the Italian
Armies

London, May 2-The Daily Mails
correspondent at Italian headquar-
ters says that Bohemian troops are
joining the Italian troops against Aus
tria and the first detachments are al
ready on the italian line wearing
Italian uniforms.
This information has passed
through the hands of both Italian and
British censors and would therefore
appear to be authentic. The detection
of the Bohemians would in a measure
explain the delay in the proposed
great offensive long heralded, of the
Ausutrians against the Italians.

Huns Wait For Fresh Troops Before
Again Striking In Flanders


British Army in Flanders, May
General Won Arnim made no fur
ther move along the Flanders front
last night nor had an attack been ex-
pected. The heavy defeat which the
Germans suffered Monday forced them
to pause and bring up fresh troops
before continuing their drive for the
hill positions in the KENNEL region.
A few more hours, however, will
suffice for their reorganization and
another assault may be expected i'm
mediately.
Heavy artillery firing continued at
various parts of the battle line dur
ing the night and there were the usu-
al outpost actions. The back areas
between Ypres and Hazebrouck were
heavily shelled by the Germans. An
enemy attempt yesterday afternoon
to cut the barbed wire at Wieltje was
dispersed by artillery fire.
The recent fighting in Flanders has
furnished many unusual and trying
experiences for civilians living near
the front, but none of these was more
amazing than that of two tiny French

WITHoUT sH1Ps-DEFEAT.

The Archbishop Of York, who brings mes
sage of good cheer and brotherhood from Eng
land to this country, is not combining his utter
ances to religious and kindred topics. In re-
cent address at Boston he took occasion to
point out once more that the greatest need OF
the allies is now, as it has been for year,
ships-and then more ships. The shipping
program is farther behind its schedule than
any other portion Of our war plan. Testimony
to this effect has multiplied of late Admiral
Bowles, who has undertaken to speed up the
shipbuilding work of the shipping board says
that not single yard on the Atlantic seaboard,
aside from those which have naval contracts, is
keeping up to the mark Of production; and
Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, who
has been investigating shipping conditions for
the United States Chamber of Commerce, says
he has found no shipyard from New Orleans to
New Jersey which can produce a ship within
six months. Meantime, the call comes from
across the water for more men and more sup
plies, and this in turn entails demand for
more ships. We have raised money enough
to build a half dozen armadas but we have not
yet built even small fotilla Cannot con-
gress find out why7

Southern District Exemption Board
Lands Forty people Who
Talked Too
Much.

/ DES MONIES. Iowa. March 25.-
The southern district exemption board
of which N. D. Ely of Davenport is
chairman. is calling In for examina-
ton men who are circulating reports
against the work OF the board which
the board says are untrue. Ely says
the board members do not resent crit
icism, but to circulate misstatements,
either through ignorance or prejudice
or maliciously, is an attack on the
work the government is undertaking
in raising an army.
George Mckelvey of Columbus juno
+, ton, president OF the Farmers union,
was called before the board. He was
charged with flooding the Washington
Offices with kilograms of protest
tagainst the drafting Of farmers into
the military service.
A list of forty-four names sent in
from one county by McKelvey was
taken up by the board. Deferred clas-
sitication was asked for these men on
occupational grounds. The board
ipointed cut that fourteen Of these
farmers had already been given de-
ferred classification, that eighteen had
made no claim for deferred classified
ton and hence their names had never
come before the board. The board said
that but nine of the forty-four men
had any right to claim they had been
improperly classed and II any of them
deserved deferred classification they
had not put up the proper showing
through affidavits.

ments in the letter were not true and

accordance with the facts.

THE PRESIDENTS PARTlsANsHIP

Burlington Hawk-Eye: 1t is war
time, and a time Of national peril. It
lis not a period for political partisan
ship. We cannot help wishing the
president, who has himself urged the
people to subordinate partisanship to
patriotism, would rise higher in the
practice of his ideas. but it seems to
be dificult for him to break the ties
of partisan expediency.
Criticism is extant because the pres
ident has written letter urging the
election of Mr.. Davies, the democratic
nominee for United States senator in
Wisconsin. Mr.. Lenroot, the republi-
can nominee, now representative in
congress. has supported the admins
tration in its war policies. Wisconsin
is normally republican state. Mr..
Lenroot ought to be elected II the
president is not disposed to commend
Mr.. Lenroot to the people of Wis
consin, he might, at least. keep hands
Off and let the loyal voters OF that
state decide fer themselves, without
Intervention from Washington, which
loyalist they prefer to represent them
in the United States senate, the demo-
crat patriot or the republican patriot.
President Taft maintained broader,
much more liberal attitude toward
democrats than Wilson toward repub-
licans. And that. too. in a time Of
peace This is war exigency. and
the utmost unity Of action IS essential
to the national defense. The presi-
dent at times has expressed his appre-
citation of republican support of his
policies in congress, but it is at too
rare intervals that concrete action
takes the place Of words. The country
cannot do therwise than regret the
presidents failure to measure UP to
the honor of his opportunities.
Republicans, however, must not
lower their standard of patriotism.
The weakness OF the president in this
respect will be no justification for par
tisan action for party sake. The best
policy, as well as the best patriotism,
is for republicans to continue steadfast
in support of war measures, regardless
of Mr.. Wilson's attitude. The republic
is greater than party.
