Germany Unable to Gain AnyN here Along Whole Fr0nt-British Hold Where Danger
 Threatens iii North.

New York, April 14.-The entire allied line in Belgium and France is holding firm
 Nowhere have the Germans been able to gain notwithstanding the great numbers of men hurled against it, especially in Flanders where the
 British are holding forth, to gain an i inch of ground. Field Marshal Haig's order that no more ground be ceded is rigidly being compiled with, as is attested by the thousands of German dead now lying before the British positions southeast of Ypres.
 where it is the ambition of the German high command to break through nd envelop Field Marshal Haig's forces and gain sn open high
 way toward the English channel. Northwest of St. Mihiel, the | American troops have been compelled to withstand series of persistent as
 saults, second in intensity only to those delivered by the Germans against the British in Flanders. And the honors at the end rested witl he Americans who met the foe .tt every style of fighting he offered and decisively defeated him.
 French Front is Quiet, Along the front held by the Frenca Sunday saw nothing of greater inn portance than reciprocal bombar4- ments on various sectors the troops of both sides remaining in their trenches
 Likewise in Italy the big guns l were 3oing most of the work, all though at several points enemy ps- trols attempted to carry out diver sions but met with no success At Neuve Eglise, northwest o Armentieres, where the Germans are endeavoring to drive their wedge in farther in order to outflank Ypres. the heaviest fighting has taken place Saturday and Sunday battles of the
 most obs tinate character took place, the Germans throwing thousands O..
 men into the attack, notwithstandine 2 their wastage in killed and wounded Several times the village changed
 hands but at last reports the British | were still in possession of it ani holding tenaciously under repeate.. German onslaughts.
 Battle Tide Turning. Nowhere along the eight mile | front where the Germans are trying to drive through between Wulverg- hem and Meteren have the Germans met with anything but repu!se and the price they have paid for their at tempts to break the British line, has been enormous. On no sector have they been able to surmount the stone wall of the defense and, for the mo- inent, at least, there seems to be iustifiable for the hope that the turn in the tide of the battle is at hand

Reports from throughout the farm ing section all show that we are try ing to make the greatest crop on record. Labor shortage is felt, but we also must remember that the de- mand is also greater even had we the same amount of labor as before
 IL has been estimated that not less than a million idle hands were still in the country, mot from necessity, hut from choice We have a tramp class, a hobo class and class O. h2bitual Shirkers- If all these were pressed into service there would be very little shortage The government will soon require a general registry, it is said.

 "I suffered from indigestion for sev- 'eral years,' she continued, and every thing I ate would nauseate me. l had constant pains in my side, my nerves were all unstrung and l couldn t lsleep at all well. 1 became discourag ed and blue and l got so weak l had to take to Eay bed once for two weeks and when I got up l had to go back again for two or three weeks longer. My condition was pitiable, for they said I could neyer get well until I ha;, my appendix removed I just wouldn { consent to it.
 T had seen in the papers where Tanlac had helped others in my con- Iidition and 1 decided to see if it would help me too. I have taken three bot ties so far and I haven't had single symptom of the indigestion nor the pains that I thought were appendicitis since. I sleep perfectly sound at night and have gained a good deal in weight and I am in as good health as l ever was.

Months ago the News said that the time would come when regardless Of legislation the American people would tire of this l. w. w and Pro-German foolishness and abolish it. That is proving true as can be seen by read ing any daily. In the heat of passion justice is likely to meet with some sad miscarriages over the tar and feather route. All the more reason why congress should hasten With that needed legislation. Every act of mob violence in America is magnified into an atrosity in Germany and helps to rally the German people around the military dynasty. Let us squeleh every unAmerican word or deed, but let it be done officially and with the law

It's going to be hard year for drOnes and idlers. Governor Stuart of Virginia speaks as vigorously as Gov ernOr Manning of South Carolina in behalf of laws to take every loafer by the scruff of the neck and put him to hard labor while the war lasts. Said Virginia's Governor to her Legislature last week: Since so many men are being called from their usual occupa- tion to engage in war activities, our civilization has less use for drones than ever, and cannot longegr tolerate them. l favor the enactment of ade- quate laws which will provide that every abel-bodied man must work The Progressive Farmer.

LieUteant is Hero.

This attack, which was the longest and largest scale operation conduct ed against the American troops since the United States entered the war, has developed many deeds of individ- ual bravery and heroism A young lieutenant, whose home is just out side of Boston, with three enlisted men, attacked 19 Germans who had penetrated into one of the American trenches.
 The lieutenant called on the Ger mans to surrender. One of them rais- ed his pistol, as if to shoot but the lieutenant shot him through the head, upon which the others lifted their hands in the air and yelled "Kamereads," the lieutenant marched the prisoners into the rear of our line and returned to the front and reassumed the command of his pla- toon.
 Five other Americans penetrated into a German dugout where twelve of the enemy were slightly wounded They resisted surrender but our men threw grenades into the dugout, kill ing four of the Germans. The others quickly gave mp.
