LATE WAR NEWS.

LONDON-The war Office an
nounced that the Germans took
Rove at 1880 o'clock Wednes-
day morning.
The enemy has been checked
at Roye and Noyon the announ-
cement adds.
In the Roye area, British,
French and American troops are
fighting shoulder to shoulder,
the official statement says.
French reinforcements are rap
idly coming up.
The German tactics of send
ing troops into the battle fire in
massed formation has cost them
staggering losses in the fighting
which has continued night and
day since the offensive opened
last Thursday morning.
A conservative estimate places
the German casualties at be-
tween 30O,O and 100000 men.
The battle continues with
great violence and the Germans
are making still greater efforts
along the whole front between
Noyou and Chaulnes, the war
office announces.
Noyon was evacuated by the
French during the night. The
left bank of the Disc is being
held firmly by the French.

an isolated, though patriotic people
with some news. After several hours
this big daily sent word that it was
too busy to send Phoebe any news

1t is thought that the wheels will
begin turning within the next few
days. A. C. Wandel. one of the best
known mill men in the country is
putting up the new mill for Mr..

has been the water situation. Mr.
Snyder has succeeded in obtaining
an additional supply and it is
thought that this will be sufficient
provided that users of water are not
wasteful.
