Lens, the ancient French city of 27,000 inhabitants in the neighborhood of which the English and Canadian troops are now making phenomenal gains in their spring "push." is the subject of the following war geography bulletin issued yesterday by the National Geographic society from its headquarters in Washington: "Lens is in the centre of one of the richest coal regions of northern France (Pas-de-Calais). It is surrounded by 200 square miles of coalfield which prior to the war yielded annually 15,000,000 tons of fuel and which gave employment to 25,* * ** A - _ 1 t J industry tne city useu nau uumouus steel and iron foundries, engineering works, and steel cable manufactories.

On the line between Arras and Lens is the village of Vimy, which gives its name to the famous ridge over which the contending armies have been fighting for nearly two years.

After days of intensive fighting, in which positions have changed hands j numerous times, the British troops have recaptured the greater portion i of the village of Bullecourt and re- i pulsed violent counter attacks delivered by the Germans east of the village. Alone the Scarpe river to the east of Arras there also have bc-en sanguinary encounters, but again the | advantage rented with Field Marshal! Haig's forces. Portions of the viilaee of Roeux have been taken by the British and another step forward has been gained by them on the western slopes of Greenland hill. There has been no let np in the air ; fighting, which has been going on j since the spring offensive began, j Eleven German aeroplanes were ac- j counted for Saturday by the British? ten of them in air battles and one by an anti-aircraft gun. The British j themselves lost six machines. I Attacks Repulsed. j On the southern end of the line held by the French the Germans Sunday morning made strong attacks on the plateau of Craonne, on the section north of Rheims and in the region of Maisons de Champagne. Not alone did the French put down all three attacks with the fire of their artillery and rifles, causing heavy casualties. but they pushed back the '* 3 - a ? An ?r? o rl q (ierman iine auu m liuuiuuu UlUUb prisoners. There still is no indication of the approach of any fighting of moment between the Austro-Germans and Russians on the eastern front from the Baltic sea to Rumania. Along this entire line the operations consist merely of small skirmishes and reconnoissances. In Macedonia violent artillery duels are in progress along the entire front, with the preponderance in the gunpower apparently on the entente side. Sunday saw no infantry actions there. Courage Commands Respect. Speaking of Congressman Byrnes's speech on conscription, which we publish in another column, the Washington Star, the leading newspaper of the capital, and a strong advocate of conscription said: "One of the strongest anti-conscription speeches heard in the house came today from Representative Byrnes, of South Carolina, whose manner of delivery forced applause even from 1 those bitterly opposed to his views." Similar reference in eastern newspapers opposed to his views would j indicate that the congressman has impressed the house with his ability. People generally respect a man of conviction and of courage even though they differ with him, as many differ with Congressman Byrnes in I this matter. | A few days before the measure was j voted upon Washington newspaper i correspondents reported both senators and every representative in the South Carolina delegation, with the exception of Mr. Ragsdale, in favor of the volunteer system.' When the vote was taken Senator Tillman was absent, but paired against it, and Senator Smith voted against the volunteer system as did Messrs. Ragsdale. Whaley and Lever. If these gentlemen changed because convinced of their views being wrong they are to b9 commended, but if they changed for political expediency it is unfortunate, for at tins time the people expect their representatives in Washington who alo have full opportunity to study measures, to vote their convictions. After the house had defeated the volunteer plan advocated by Mr. Byrnes, according to the Congressional Record, he voted for the final passage of the bill, and in doing so we think he showed the proper spirit.?Aiken Journal and Review. A TIP TO THE WISE. How a Woman Overcame Her Fear of Waiters. In the May Woman's Home Companion a writer says: "Most people stand somewhat in awe of waiters, I find. They tip more than they can afford because they do not want to seem like a 'piker' in the waiter's eyes. Well, I am done worrying about what waiters are thinking about me. I make it a point, now, to let them worry about what I think about them. In the first joy of finding that I could get my rights by standing up for them, I kicked to the captain of a dining car about the conduct of a waiter, and later sent com* unrine fruit with perfect composure. The captain corrected the waiter, the unripe fruit was removed from my bill. It wasn't a bit of trouble?I didn't even raise my voice. But there was no mistake about what I meant. "Since men waiters have had no terrors .or me. When 1 don't get the treatment I ought to have. I call the captain, or the head waiter, and ask what is the matter. He does the rest. And I tip regularly, but not lavishly." I ; j Cosmos and Cosmetics. I i Sir Robert Ball had delivered a j | lecture 011 "Sun Spots and Solar; I Chemistry," says the Chicago News, i !
