With the British Army in France,
April 24-Hard fighting developed this
morning on the southern battle front,
the enemy attacking south of the
Somme along the line of Villers-Bre-
tonneux, Hangard-En-S -Santerre, Hail
les and Castel. Early developments
indicated that the Germans were try
ing only for limited objectives.
On the British sector, Villers-Bre-
tonneux which nestles on a ridge
overlooking the long stretch of the
Somme valley, was the storm center,
and here the enemy for the first time
since the war began had tanks in ac-
ton. Three of these engines of war
accompanied the storming infantry,
which at latest reports had battled
forward into the eastern outskirts of
the town, where servere fighting took
place.
From the French sector came word
that the Germans had made very
slight progress.
The assault was preceded by a
heavy bombardment abouta Villers-
Bretonneux. At the conclusion Of this
preparation, the Germans surged for
ward along the whole British front
south Of the Somme, although 1t SEEM
ed evident that they had Villers-Bre-
tonneux as their ultimate goal be-
cause of its dominating position.
The first attack was thrown back
but the enemy Immediately came for
ward again and this time met with
more success In the face OF heavy
machaine gun and rife fire, the Ger
mans pushed on toward the town

DIR. CRANE SAYS

We have suffered in war through
the lack of preparation before we en-
tered it, said Premier Lloyd George
on June % in London address. "Do
not let US make the same mistake in
peace.
"The mistakes we might make"
he continued, through entering on
peace without preparation would be
even more disastrous than the mis-
takes you might make by entering
war without preparation. The things
that you will do will be more per-
manent; you will give direction and
shape to things and though the world
will be very molten at that moment
it will cool down very quickly and
the shape which you give to it will
remain. And if your mould is not the
right one, you cannot possibly set
things right without another co1vul-
sion that will break it.
eve do not want any more break
ups. We are going to have done with
them this time, and then we must get
on with our work. But let US see
| that il is the right thing.
"Out of this agony of the world let
us see that no deformity is born
no militarism, no mammonism; no
nor anarchy either" s.
The tone of the leaders Of thought
in Great Britain is much more salts
factory than what we find in the Uni
ted States. 1t is saner, more SEN
sible and shows better grasp on the
fundamental issues of the war.
In this country we have two out
standing classes; one, the rampageous
patriots, crying out continually for
more soldiers, more ships more speed
more punch, more war spirit and so
on. This is all needed, but tends to
become i1tolerant of any difference
of opinion in details or point of view.
The other is the small group that
perceive that there are international
questions which pertain to the human
race and are even more important than
our national problems. These are
afraid usually to say much for fear
the vociferous patriots will call them
prof. German.

WORTHY OF OUR BOYS "OVER
THERE

There is nothing about which we
have more occasion to be deeply con-
ceraed here at home than that we
shall be worthy of our boys s'over
theer."
The American soldier in France has
given his people at home great cause
to be proud of him. He is living and
fighting and dying up to the best
traditions of the American soldier.
He is a credit to his forebears who
fought at Lexington and at Gettys-
burg.
In courage, in chivalry, in military
efficiency and in the spirit of self-sac-
rifice he has challenged the admira-
ton of his fellows in arms under the
Allied flags and has won praise from
his superiors il rank clear up the
line. With slight preparation he is
doing the work of seasoned troops
and doing it with dash and brilli-
ancy of achievement which have car
ried CONSERVATION TO an enemy by
whom he was once held in unconceal-
ed contempt.
And not only has the American dis
tinguished himself as a soldier, but
he has maintained a cleanliness of
life which has provoked com nent
and compelled respect: in it all he has
gained an appreciation of the lof Il
ness of the purpose for which he
fights that few of US at home have
been able to realize.
And it is at this point that there
lies peculiar danger-that we may
fail to be worthy of the sacrifice he
is making. There is danger that love
of financial profit by both labor and
capital, dishonesty and greed by en-
ployer and employee, selfish indul-
gence on the part of all of US, $3.50
patriotism where there should be on
ly 100 per cent devotion, emphasis
upon class interest and other express
sions or selfishness shall convict US
of u1worthiness of the great sacri-
flee being made by our own boys in
the cause of humanity. 1t will in
deed be most deplorable if we shall
fail to deserve the sacrifice they are
making for the honor and safety of
their home land, for the integrity of
it's institutions and for the liberty

The Truth Will Out

The truth is out about Viereck and
his publication, The Fatherlald. The
fellow admits that he received $780,
900 of the Germanic slush fund. This
does not surprise us. Months and
months ago The Free Press editorially
accused this hyphenated individual Of
having received dirty dollars from the
kaiser's Golfers for the purpose of
spreading the Hun propaganda in
America. This fellow Viereck ac-
cepted money from both Bernstorff
and Dumba. However, he has had
the good sense to resign from the
Authors League of America. He
should now hasten to the land Of the
kaiser. There is where he properly
belongs. Out upon the tribe.
