C. N. Trimble, manager of

had been saving his last country
ham, which he says was a fine
one, for special occasion, but
on going to his smokehouse yes

where the ham had formerly
hung from the ceiling, a bur-
glar having visited him during

pointment was great, but he
gets some satisfaction out of
having appeased the appetite
of some ham-hungry mortal.

FRENCH MAKE
NOTABLE GAINS
RESIST TERRIBLE on
SLAUGHT
and RECARTURE GROUND
Americans NOW In Thick of
Fight-PTiSOnerS and Guns
Taken.

The great drive of the Huns
has been halted, after they had
made small gains at a fearful
cost in killed and wounded, and
now the allies are striking back
in places on the line, but they
have not commenced their of
fensive on a large scale.
Under date of June IL, the
press dispatches give the fol-
lowing information: "'nT|
Further gains have been
made by the French troops in
the fighting in the region be-
tween Montdidier and Noyon
where in addition to the cap
ture of territory near Belloy
and st. Maur, the center of the
line, 400 additional Germans
have been made prisoners and
some guns and machine guns
have been taken. Numerous
German counter attacks have
been repulsed, but the enemy
succeeded at one point in cross
ing the Matz river.
A German official communi-
cation asserts that all the coun7
ter attacks have been repulsed
and that they suffered heavy
casualties, also that the number
of prisoners taken by General
Won Hutier's army is 10000.
SOUTHWEST o f Montdidier,
| where the allied forces made
violent attacks and notable
gains against the enemy, Amer
lean troops have been thrown
into the fight, but it is not
known to what extent. North
west of Chateau Thierry the
Germans have thrown five di-
visions against the Americans
fighting side by side with the
French, but without avail.
At noon Wednesday $4,000
Germans were preparing to
make a strike when the French
attacked southeast of Montdi-
dier and the Germans, being in
mass formation, were mown
down by gunfire at point blank
range, and this concentrated
fire did terrible execution. The
battle continued through the
the night and into the early
hours of the next morning,
when the allies made a further
advance to the east of Merry, a
most important point as it COM
mands the valley. Towards
the center the enemy launched
several attacks, but the line
held firmly, although some en-
emy detachments succeeded in
