The Fifth Divisions of the German Guard in its furious attack on the eas ern end of the Chemin-des-Dames, on the Aisne front, (luring Thursday nigh t and Friday morning gained nothing but a death trap in the shape Of a trench 500 or 600 yards long on the northern side of the crest between Casemates and Californie plateaus, above Craonne. The objective of the Germans, to obtain possession of ob servation points, was defeated total ly. Today hundreds of German bodies ' on the ground and the Germans who supposedly are holding the trench 'can not advance or retreat.

Numbers of prisoners belonging to the famous guard regiments were taken. From them it was learned that the attack had been arranged for sev eral clays previously, but the German crown prince decided to await the ar rival of special units of shock troops before making the assault. A model of the French defensive system had been constructed behind the German lines, and the troops destined for the attack were inqtructed with its de tails before making the assa' it. They met their masters in the s ape of stolid and hard fighting reiments from Touraine. The only point along the whole line of attack from Craonne to Hurtebise at which the Germans succeeded in obtaining any advantage was between the Casemates and Cali fornic plateaus, where the crest is narrowest and where it was impossi ble for the French to bring much nr tillery to bear, owini, to the cnfig:m tion of the ground. All through Thursday night and Friday hand to hand fighting proceed ed with grenades and bayonets am il the exhausted Germans were comtpell ed to seek shelter in shell craters and shattered trenches of the front line formerly held by the French.

James Whilden, a young man : years old, met with a sudden ,a: tragic death i about 8:30 o'clock Wed. nesday night while in swimming in the Y. M. C. A. pool. Ile was a hrge and strong youth for his age, and wa s a good swimmer, accustomed to swim ming in the pool. It has not been positively determined whether his death was due primari'y to drowning or to heart disease. Ile and several other young men were in the swim ming pool at the time, and his com panions state that he was swimming from one end of the pool to the other, under water, when they noticed that he had stopped swimming and was floating submerged longer than usual They realized at once that something -was wrong and he was quickly taken from the water and physicians tele phoned for. After being removed from the water, he opened his eyes and groaned once or twice. First aid was rendered immediately by Mr. Cut tino McKnight and Mr. Sam Dinkins, who were on duty at the building, but 'he could not be revived. Dr. Ashleigh Mood, who arrived within two minutes after Whilden was taken from the pool, pronounced him dead when he made an examination. The body was removed to Hurst's undertaking estab lishment, after it was found that all efforts to resuscitate the young man were fruitless, and an autopsy was made by Dr. Mood, assisted by Drs. Cheyne and Mills. They found water in the lungs, and also that the heart was affected. Death was due to drowning, but there were probably contributory causes. Young \Vhilden had eaten a very heavy supper just before going to the Y. M. C. A., and his stomach was greatly distended. It is thought that the heart may have been atleeted by an attack of acute indigestion ,causing himn to lose control of himself. No struggle attended his death, and the only thing that attracted the atten tion of those in the room was that he remained under water longer than The body was taken to Pinewood TIrsday morning, accompanied by M r. Cuittino Mc K1night. The deceased was the son of M rs. S. M.

Plowden Hardware Co VERY IMPORTANT. Th~e available supplies of foodstuffs are the lowest in all food-producing countries that they have been for over fifty years. Prices of most foodstuffs have about doubled during the past two or three years. The government crop report fore casts a vheat crop which will be short of American consumption. The reserve supplies of meats are far below normal. A nation at war requires more food than a nation at peace. France, England, Belgium and Italy are short of food and are large ly dependent on American imports, and, unless some means is found of supplying them, they can not con tinue to fight effectively. The South is importing from the West and North $600,000,000 to $700,000,000 worth of foodstuffs an nually and is thus a tremendous drain on the nation's food resources and, conseqluently, is now a menace to the nation's safety. A pound of cotton at 20c will actu ally buy less foodstuffs now than normally. We must raise what we eat.
