Ore; tae oO-mile 'battle front, from the legion of Arras to the north of Soissons, the German armies are meeting with defeats which apparently spell disaster. Everywhere the British and French forces have continued the attack, the enemy has been sanguinarily worsted, and the end of his trials is not yet in sight. To the British over the thirty miles of the fighting zone, from the Cojeul river, southeast of Arras to Lihons, south of the Somme, numerous towns have fallen and the enemy territory has been penetrated to a depth of several miles. Where the French are fio-hting between the Matz river and the territory north of Soissons, additional goodly gains have been made in the envelopment of Noyori and the monnnnirro COolrQ ffl IIICMJVr^U TIP Tf UW^w crush or drive out the Germans from the salient beween the Somme and the Aillette and to put into jeopardy the entire German line running to Rheims. - Notwithstanding the fa?t that the Germans brought up large numbers of fresh reinforcfements in an endeavor to stay the progress of iHaig's armies, their efforts were without avail. Where they were able momentarily to hold back their oncoming foes the Germans finally were forced to cede the ground demanded. And they paid a terrible price in?men killed, wounded or made prisoners for their temerity. ?i?

''n the person of Elijiah Head, while he lived in these parts. All who knew him called him '"Lige." Those of his intimate acquaintances and others dealing with him say he ?s possessed of a most remarkable memory and that lie has some good Qualities. Last year Lige went to Camp Jackson and got a job as teamster. In order to hold his team he volunteered in November. Last Saturday-week his team was taken r?wav from him for seme cause. Ho-? didn't like that and deserted, coming here the following 'Monday, discarding ' his uniform. Chief Rcdelsperger saw him Tuesday at the boarding house in West End and interviewed him. u? claimed to have his discharge papers but couldn't produce them. The chief placed him under arrest and held him, communicating with the camp authorities, who answered that they had "been locking for him since the Sunday after his desertion. Lige ( was taken back to Camp Jackson Thursday. Another of his peculiar! ties is that he doesn't spend his money. He ha"d saved around $400 ( of lr's army pay, which he had witn 1 1 him. , 1 ( J1 '* * MORE FRUIT and LESS SUGAR + I * How? * \ More Les* * Canned Fruit Jam * Dried Fruit Jelly + Fruit Butter Preserves * Fresh Fruit Sweet Pickles * \ 1 *1 ? . _ i ' CARLTON W.

Mr. Jackson says that Mr. Sawv* was lying flat back from the dressei which he evidently was facing whil he was cleaning his sun as evidence by the position of the bcdy and th materials which he was using at ths time in getting ready for the hunt.
