British . Arrny Hsadqurtr in

the Associated Press.) The last
twenty-tour hour continued un
. favorable to the aggressive Gar-
man along the. British section of
the new battle front and was a
strikingly good period for the de
fender, This morning th Brit
ish were holding their entire line
with strength and they had
smashsd numerous heavy German
attacks at various point and had
taken the. initiative . at ssveral
plaoee successfully. t
. Th rnost intense flg-httng continued
south of the Somme In the sone where
the French have been making- such a
gallant stand. Th outstanding- fea
ture of the conflict on the northern
end of the front 1 that the British
again have killed a great nureber of
the enemy which, despite It harsh
sound. Is what will end the war.
Today the British lnltt--l a for
ward movement about Feuehy Copse,
east of Arras. They launched a local
attack at t o'clock this morning- and
pressed It so vigorously that they re
claimed a stretch ef territory 1,600
yards Ion it and averaging- about 200
yards In depth. This suocess had tac
tical advantages. 'but they were small
compared with the fact tat the Brit
lHh were able after the pnsf ten dnys
of grueling- work, to undertake an of
fensive operation.
Flying British Fleg.
South -of the Somme, where ther has
been mo much hard fighting, the Brit
ish appear to have the situation well
It. hand and the town hall of Moreull,
about which sanguinary battles have
been awsylng, was at last reports
still flying the British flag defiantly
from the steeple. One of the most
costly attack the enemy attempted
veaterduv was between Marlancourt
and the Homme, r-here a heavy assault
was- made against the Australians
shortly after midday. The attackers
came forward in masses and the Brit
ish threw themselves against the ad
vancing lines so fiercely Inn the Ger
mans were hurled back, leaving- 8,000
dead.
The British operation at Lasslgny
yestcredny afternoon which resulted In
straightening the defensive line was a
brilliant success. The Germans were
pushed back with heavy casualties
and British troops returned with tOO
prisoners, forty maohlne guns, and a
trench mortar.
Bout's of Arrss the enemy made two
attacks yesterday. One was near
llamellncourtt. . astride the Arras-Iia-
paume railway, while II' other was
north of Bolsleux St. Mare. Both of
these efforts were wished, although
particularly hard ' fighting occurred
around Bollnleux. In this operation

bers after an Intense bombardment of
the British lines tpr two hours. At
three places the enemy succeeded In
penetrating the defenses and a bitter
hand-to-hand struggle ensued. The
British made such strenuous resist
ance that the Germans were thrown
back, leaving numbers of dead.
Caught In Artillery Barrage.
Northeast of Arras the Germans
made a small attack Saturday -after a
heavy bombardment and pushed for
ward over a tiny atrip of ground, but
the operation was so small a to be
h-rflly worth considering.
There was an unconfirmed report to
day that A large concentration of Qrr

Talk
In fighting the devil with fire we must take Care not to burn our hands, or, as.
our fighting men would say, "Be very careful when you use poison-gas, and look out
for a shift of wind which may blow it back into, your own trencher" This is virtually
the answer given by a notable array of leaders in America and Britain and France(to
those who advocate a peace offensive to accompany our military offensive; or think we
should imitate Germany in stirring up discontent among enemy 'peoples; or believe
with Lord Lansdowne that some sort of negotiation with the enemy is possible; or hold
with some of our pacifists that the war may be honorably ended without the complete
and crushing defeat of German military power. The only way to deal with the "bandit"
nation is "by overwhelmingly superior force," declares the Atlanta Journal, while the
Portland Oregoniati, emphasizing the lesson taught by Russia, says "that in a world which
holds an undefeated Germany there can be no peace."

Empty benches are confronting" the teachers of

that the scholars ought to learn the beauties of Teu

won't do it, it seems.
