GERMANS STILL HAMMER ALLIES

HUNS CONTINUE TO HAMMER ALLIED LINES IN YPRES AND SOMME FRONTS. American troops are awaiting the time when they will be thrown into buttle on an entirely new part of the ba. tie field in France. The announcement that the Stars and Stripes are waving with the British union jack and the French tri-color on its battlefield, said that the Americans were “completing their training in the areas occupied by the troops which are blocking the path of the Germans to the channel ports,” which may indicate that somewhere along the line from Merville to Ypres is the point where General Pershing’s men will once more strike the Germans.

This is the fifth section of the front where Americans have been located. The others are east of Luneville, northwest of Toul, north of St. Michael and on the heights of the Meuse, and also in the Mont Didier sector of the Picardy battle area. How many Americans are behind the British front, when they arrived and the part of the United States from which they came, are as yet unknown. It is probable that they are not to be used as a separate unit but will be brigaded with the British in meeting the next stroke of the Germans in the northern battlefield. During the last day the activity of the enemy has been 8 most pronounced at the tips of the salients driven into the allied lines in the Ypres and Somme fronts. There was a notable increase in the German artillery fire on the Lys front, while Hailles, east of Amiens, has again been deluged with shells.from the German cannon. At this point the French have made notable advances of late and at.no time since the German wedge ceased to move, early jn April, has this region been quiet. The perfect weather that has prevailed for several days over the entire western front has led to an unusual number of battles between aerial squadrons. In these combats the enemy seems to have suffered heavily and while the allies have not escaped unscathed, they appear to have maintained their mastery of the air. Eddie Rickenbacker, the former automobile race driver, now with the American flying forces on the Toul front, has added another German machine to his record.

All along the front in France the tension under which the men are working has been reflected by the large number of trench raiding operations. Nowhere, however, has there been a conflict which might be considered more than a skirmish. There have been no further reports from Rome or Vienna relative to operations on the Italian front, where on Thursday the Italians made determined attacks on Austrian positions east of the Brenta river. A summary of the military situation on the western front, given out by the British general staff, states that another terrific attack by the Germans is imminent. It is indicated that the British expect the new attack to be on as great a scale as that of March 21, when the fighting was begun over a front of fifty miles. The halt in the German assault has given the Germans a chance to reform their shattered divisions, it is admitted, but it also has allbwed the allies ‘to strengthen their lines. The arrival of American troops which are coming to the battlefield in large numbers, is another factor in favor of the entente allies, it is pointed out.

The time has arrived for the program. This time, now, make no mistake. The program is entirely up to the standard and even has some features added which were never staged before at St. Joe.

TOO MUCH BEAVERVILLE GETS LAD IN TROUBLE

Goodland Herald. A very regrettable thing occured last Friday night and may be the undoing of the hell hole at Beaverville, Illinois, that has caused a good deal of trouble lately. As the result of the episode one of the young fellows became intoxicated and lost his way and attempted to gain entrance where he did not belong and was arrested and one pint of whiskey was found on his person which was confiscated. Saturday morning he was taken to Kentland where he pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $9.50. He also gave evidence that will convict the party who sold him the booze without as much as even inquiring if he was of age. Owing to the lad’s extreme age we refrain from publishing his name as he has promised to not lose control of himself again. Prosecutor Hess has started proceedings against the saloon keeper at Beaverville and will make him set up and take notice.

TWO MEN DROWN WHEN AUTO FALLS INTO RIVER

Hammond, Ind., May 17.—Two men were drowned in the Calumet river near here early today when an automobile in which they were riding missed a bridge- and plunged into the stream. A third man in the car succeeded 'in swimming to the shore. William Gratt, William Miller and William Chick were the passengers and had bought the machine jointly yesterday. They long have been friends and were known as “The Three Bills of Hessville,” where they lived. They were returning from a pleasure ride at the time of the accident. s Attempts to resucitate Gratt and Miller with pulmotors failed. Both had been pinned at the bottom of the river under the automobile. Chick, who was the driver, was thrown free of the car when it plunged into the stream.

FORMER RESIDENT WRITES FROM HOME IN CALIFORNIA

Dinuba, Calif., April 13, 1918. Editor Republican:—No doubt you think me slow but we are no slacker out here in California. I have intended to write you a letter but am very slow in so doing. Will only write a sort letter, as time is all taken. We can not get along without your paper. It comes as a letter from home and we especially enjoy the letters from the boys “Over There” and feel a great interest in all news of your paper. I must tell you we are. doing our best to help win the war. We have-taken government bonds and bought stamps in our family to help our bit, and the Red Cross of our district meets at my house once a week to sew and make Red Cross also I am knitting at every spare moment. The long dry winter has injured the peach crop and we will not have a half crop, but cur grapes are sure fine and we hope lo have a good crop of figs, but it is too early to tell about figs. However, we will get very high prices for our crop. Mr. Porter has signed the crop up at 15 cents a pound and two years ago they were only 5 cents. Raisins are also higher this year than two years ago. The raisin crop is also signed up at 5% cents, which is considered a good price. On the 20th of this month thjre will begin a Red Cross drive and every land owner is espected to give 50 cents for every acre of land he owns, and laborers ar■> expected to give one day’s wages. As a rule we meet with no difficulty getting money for the Red Cross work, but meet a few slackers. I think my letter is getting quite lengthy, so must close. MRS. I. W. PORTER.

CHURCH OF GOD.

S. J. Lindsay will conduet the usual services at the Church of God Saturday evening and all day Sunday.

REMOVAL NOTICE. I have removed my millinery store from the Collins’ shoe store to the store formerly occupied by Mrs. Purcupile on Van Rensselaer street MISS EMMA RISHLING.
