meaning the end of the German at
tempts to crack the allied line. All
along the front the big guns are roar
ing and shells of all calibers are
blowing the terrain and the areas
far behind them, and fresh German
reserves, to take the places of the
thousands of men killed, wounded
or made prisoner, are being hurried
to the front.
Indeed, advices from the British
front in Flanders are to the effect
that another furious drive by Won
Armin is In immediate prospect. En-
peror william has been at the front
delivering flamboyant speeches to
the troops in an endeavor to spur
them on to victory.
Shell Dcluge Continues.
Meanwhile British and French ar
tillerists are sending a veritable rain
of shells on Mont KENNEL, the chief
point of vantage gained by the. Ger
mans in the Ypres sector. Thus far
the allied guns have held back all
attempts by the enemy to reinforce
his men on the hill, and If the good
work is kept up the hilltop is likely
soon to prove to be a death trap for
its captors.
Nothing as yet has been vouchsaf-
ed regarding the inter-allied war
council which is holding session at
Versailles which are expected to bring
forth decisions of great moment. Rep
resentatives of all the allies are In
attendance. Great faith in the abil-
ity of Gen. Foch and the allied COM
manders on the western front again
has been expressed by NJ. Clemenceau,
he French premier. Returning from
d visit to the front the premier said
he considered the line stable and
that as result of the steps taken
by the various commanders 1t was
outside the realm OF immediate dan
ger.
The fighting on all the other fronts
except in Palestine and Mesopotamia,
continues of a minor character. In
both the latter theaters. however, the
British have returned to the attack
and gained important successes over
the Turks. Progress has been made
north of Bagdad along the Tigris
River and in Palestine several posi-
lions have been captured and pris-
oners taken.

MIDNIGHT ELOPEMENT

Tuesday midnight, with the world
wrapt in quiet slumber and only the
stars on guard, Mr.. Otis Colburn and
Miss Mayme Pearl Austin, both OF
Beaver Dam, stole silently away, and
following the guiding brilliancy OF
the north star, ere the sun had risen,
were in Indiana's southern Gretna
Green. The young pair were given
a hearty welcome by those obliging
officials whose fees are fed by Ken
lucky runaway couples. Few and
short were the prayers the Rock
port Justice said, but they were
enough. and long before another sun
set the happy pair were home again

new RECORD FOR
ship BUILDING
April Output Is 24O,OOO
Tons Or 5000 For
Each Day.

Washington, Apr 30.-A total out
put of 100000 tons of new shipping
for the month of April was reported
to the shipping board to-day by COM
missioner of Navigation Chamberlain.
Two-thirds of the tonnage was con-
structed in the last half of the month
At that rate the output for the year
would approach three million tons,
but shipping board officials are look
ing forward to much higher monthly
totals as building gets under way.
The best previous months construc-
tion was June of last year. when 1885,
154 tons was built. The total in
March was 166,7OO tons.
The shipping boards own figures
on April construction will not be an
nounced until completed reports have
been received from all shipyards.
Those from the Pacific coast yards
may not be at hand before the middle
of next week.
40 the lay mind unaccustomed to
shipbuilding figures" said state
ment by the board making public Mr..
Chamberlain's report, this total of
240, 900 tons may not seem very i'm
pressive. But it means that during
the twenty-six working days in the
month there were turned out on an
average of 5000 tons Of ship con-
struction a day"

AN EDITOR HAPPY.

Editor w. ii. Combs, of the Hart

house. The young lady arrived Tues
day, and it was the first visit of the

an editor whose household expenses
are increased.
