STOP HUN
ATTACK BEFORE THEY
GET TO GOING GOOD

With the American Army in France
March 27.-What promised TO be a
German attack on the American lines
broken up by American artillery fire.
The enemy had heavily bombarded
certain positions Of the American line
and then had sent sweeping barrage
across No Mans Land. Enemy trench
mortars, firing from the west of Rich
ecourt, started box barrage and from
enemy machine guns came a rain of
bullets.
The American infantry emerged
from their underground covers at the
proper moment and advanced to meet
the expected assault. Meanwhile the
American artillery had started coun-
ter barrage against the German side
of No Mans Land and apparently
this was effective for, although the
Americans waited, no Germans ap-
peared. What happened on the other
side of the line is not known.
Enemy artillery fire has been heavy
and some shots were well placed. The
American gunners have the enemy bat
teTleS silenceu anu gave Jnem "a severe
drenching with gas shells.
There has been extraordinary ac-
tivity behind the enemy line and in
his front line trenches. The Germans
also have moved their batteries sud-
denly and changed the direction OF
fire and the artillery firing has in
creased.
The American guns in the past two
nights have given most of their at
tention to the German positions, where
there is reason to believe the troops
were being relieved. Probably much
damage was done and the enemy ar
tillery fire has been of retaliatory
nature.
American 37-millimetre guns have
broken up enemy observation posts by
direct hits, demolished machine gun
emplacements and deluged enemy dug
outs. Enemy cavalry has been seen
for the first time, number having
passed along the road from Bouillon-
vile to Pannes.
The British front is standing firm
along the whole line, which appears
to be the strongest it has occupied
since the battle began, says Reuters
correspondent with the British head
quarters in France.

PRES. HARVEY OF THE
OZARK TRAILS WILL
Be HERE NEXT WEEK

.'he Chamber of Commerce held its
regular monthly meeting of the Board
OF Directors March -. The main sui
jects were the Chautauqua, the plant
ing Of trees for the city, the attitude
to be taken toward the Annual Round
Up, President Harveys visit, daylight
closing, and the assisting of the To-
cal Chapter of the American Red Cross
The Chautauqua Committee was ap-
pointed by the president and ratified
by the Board to forward the interests
of the 1918 Chautauqua: &. B. Hamil-
ton, chairman; c. II. Hittson, DR.. G.
NJ. Bueler, a. NJ. Burnet, DR.. o. +.

Rev. X. l.. Stevenson, Ed. Hall, j, f.
Montgomery, and j. NJ. Eager. The
price of reserved seats is to be fixed
by the Chamber of Commerce EXecu-
tive Committee.
1t was the plan of the Chamber of
Commerce to order n thousand black
locust trees to be distributed among
the property owners of the city. A
day was TO be set in April for tree
planting day and an expert was to be
furnished from the nursery bought
from to assist in the planting of these
trees. In the meeting it developed
that on account of the shortage of
water this move had better he delay
ed until fall.
4 representative of the Roundup
Association appeared before the Board
asking permission for Secretary Case
to act as secretary for the Roundup
Association this year. After discuss
ion, it was decided that same should
be granted provided there would not
he any hindrance to the Chamber OF
Commerce work. and the Roundup
Association should employ sufficient
assistance to give the secretary only
general supervision over both organi-
cations during this time. We wish
the entire community to understand
/ that the two organizations are entire
ly separate and that not any funds
whatsoever are spent in the forward
ing of the Roundup Association since
we believe that it is for the financial
interest of the business men and not
for the financial interest of the entire
community.

In the Ozark Trails Magazine it sets
forth very plainly that different places
along the main line of the trail have
trouble in obtaining State and Federal

it is also plain that where such is the
case and they have sufficient assur-
ance that these funds will be obtained
the main line will remain as desig-
mated.

TERTAINER HERE APRIL ONE

The next number of the High School
Lyceum Course, Colby the cartoonist
and entertainer, will be given in the
High School Gymnasium on Monday
evening, April first. All things con-
sdered, it is expected that this num-
ber will prove the most popular at
traction on the entire course. Mr..
Colby combines his artistic ability with
rare wit and humor and uncommon
common sense. You will enjoy Colby;
his rapid fire artistic ability will please
you and his lecture will hold your in
terest from the first minute until the
last. We are so firmly convinced that
everyone will like Colby that we are
making this number our bargain at
traction for the benefit of those who
do not have season tickets. The price
of admission is the least ever charged
for such high-class attraction in Tu.
cumcari. Adult admission tickets will
be sold for thirty-five cents and chill
| dren will be admitted for twenty-five
cents. At these prices the Gymnasium
should be filled to capacity. Get your
ticket and come early. The entertain
ment will begin promptly at eight.

cts will find the very best seats in the
house reserved for you. 1t will not
be necessary to again reserve your
seats-just bring your season ticket
and you will be conducted to the re-
served seat section.

make known to every man and woman
in Quay county that Thomas Brooks
Fletcher will appear as. the fourth mum
ber on our course on Thursday evening,
April eighteenth. We want you to
hear Fletcher. He has message foi
you. You will like him if you hear
him. and you will miss n wonderful
message if you do not hear him, and
you will find Mr.. Fletcher to be one
of the most eloquent and convincing
lecturers on the platform today, and
we have to pay big price to bring
him here for you. However, it will be
possible for you to hear him for one
dollar. This is very ordinary price,
and we believe you will appreciate our
action in making it at dollar.
The remaining number of the Lee
ture Course will be given on Friday
evening, April 26. And will conclude
the entertainments given by the High
School where paid admissions are
charged. In fact, we are able to prom
ise the patrons of the school that the
three remaining numbers of the lee
ture course constitute all of the 1917
1918 school entertainments with the
exception of the various exercises con-
nected with "Graduation Week"
We anticipate a liberal patronage
from the people of Tucumcari and Vi
cinity for the remaining numbers of
the Lecture Course. Your presence
will be appreciated, and you will be
more than delighted with each and all
of the remaining attractions.

ment of the prohibition law.
On the contrary, Mr.. McElroy was
one of the very first men who COM
