The town 4of Courcy and strong po-
sltions "a that vicinity have been

vaire that has been the source OF
m kh annoyance to the enemy for
y6veral days.
n As n result OF the assaults made
by the French from Amblcny. south
of the Aisne. to the hills south OF
courcy. their lines have been advanc.
ed to high ground. which lends itself
to defensive operations and gives the
French observation points from
which they can see what is going on
behind the German lines.
There has been some reason for
believing that when the Germans re-
sume their offensive on the western
front. they will attempt TO break
Through between the Marne and the
Aisne In dash straight for Paris.
For this reason. the operations
which the French have carried out
assume Importance.
South Of Courcy the German line

SOLDIERS FOOT AMPuTATED
Oxford NARROW Wounded in July
Somewhere i'm France Suffers
Amputation of Foot
Was Wounded Severely in Big Rattle
in Early Part of July. Expects
to be home Christmas.

A letter was received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. NARROW on Saturday even
ing from their son Clifford from
Somewhere in France. In it he
stated that while he was feeling good,
he had little bad news for them,
and 1t was that he had his left foot
taken off by the surgeons Just below,
or about half way between the foot
and knee. He said also that he was
coming along fine, and thought he
would be home about Christmas.
Clifford enlisted in June 1917,
leaving DEBORAH on June Is. He
was at Camp Dodge until the latter
part of August or first of September,
l1917, when he left with the famous
Rainbow division and sailed shortly
after for France Clifford has seen
lots of service since he has been in
France, and has done his share in
helping make the world safe for de-
mocracy. That his life has been
spared and he will be able to return
home to his loved ones means much
to them and his many friends here.
He was in some of the fiercest en-
gagements over there in July, and
received numerous wounds. He re-
,ceived shrapnel wound in his hip,
and two holes were blown in his left
Ileg. But as his letter states he is
getting along fine. He takes every
thing in a cheerful frame of mind,
and only feels that he has done his
duty.
