there is a tensenert which seems to f?
forecast the aprpoaching dawn of bigi
events.
The bad wvathcr-heavy rainfalls, t'
the swollen ;.r and the resultant t
" wretched condition of the t. rrain with ,
which the Allied troops along the
Vesle now have to coat n1, not to
mention the necessity of bringing u)
guns, ammunition and supplies which
were left far behind in the rapid adJ..
vance-doubtless is having more to do l
with the holding in leash of Marshal
Foch's troop? 4 lian the opposition the
Germans are throwing in their way.

Wieavily the Americian and French sol-I-i

-They also have deluged the south- y'
-ern line of the streani with shells of a
all calibers, including gaa projectiles, Y
and even have brought their famous t<
flame throwers into play, but all to no u
purpose. The Allies everywhere have of
remained firm, in the . round they a
have won,
But the Gerni.a ns ha e not been per- "
rnitted by the Alies to have a mon- t"
opoly of the initiative. Where they
have thrown 'nelW against the Amer-- (I
cans in the Fismes sector, Amcrican fi
missiles have been returned with add- '

r een 'a veritable inferno. Gas in tl
f . cquantities was released against si
i .e Americans who, wivth their gas I"
.nasks adjusted. were virtually un- -
harmed by the noxious fumes. A kind-|
. ]y switch in the wind at one time even
turned back the gas against the ene- h
my. The French also have answered

As inkling of whr.t the Germans 3
have. los:t in meni made prisonor and

come public through an utterance of
the French premier at a session of o
the ministerial council at hich Gen. c

"Thirty-five thousand prisoners and s
70() cannon have ueen captured," said t
the premier. who adde that Pair's no T,

Much interest attaches to the man
oeuvers of the Germans andl the dI
French and British troops, with the r
latter of w'homn some Americans are e
believed to be brigaded, on the front p
*ru.mmig fromt M'ontdidler to the region f
aroundI Ypres. Ultimately the optera-e
tions here rmay have a strong bearing p
on those now in rogress in the south
and if the Allies keep tup their success- h
fuli thrusts and the G;erma~ns continuep
to withdraw, compel a realignment of t
the entire battlefront. b
The French north of Montdidier if
have crossedt to the wvest side of the
Avre river between Braches and Mor
~isel. Here a fairly deep) penetration
into the Gema line wouldh become a' I'
d rireet m~enace to the Junction point of'
the armies of the Ger-man Crowni
Prince Rtupprecht. On both sidtes of
A miens, where the Germans have A
been shelling British positions, uisinig a
qluantities of gas, evidently wvith the hI
intention of. revent ing an atack in s

In Monday night's attempited Zep- if

WESTERNER WRITES of
lF[ AT THE FRONT
The following letter was written by
a young westerner to his father. Be
cause of the real human and descrip
tive matter in it, it was copied by the
censor, Lieut. W. M. Bomar and sent
to his brother, I. J. Bomar of Man
ning.
Anywhere in France,
D)ear Daid:
Well, we surely are getting educat
ed in the way of war anyway. I can
t^ll you our rest camp is very dif.
ferent from what the front is like
true 'tis only a barn-but oh! such a
barn.
We were' back from our first trip
to the front. We were resting on easy
duty, and just beginning to enjoy rest
when the order came to "make our
packs." You know over her, that
me:ans a ticket to "Nowhere." The
drinking crowd began to wine up, and
soon everything was lively. The re(st
of us kept up our nerve as best we
could on "aqua pural,"
Then what followed seems like an
awful dream, the long ride in trucks, j
to the tune of "Back Home in Indi
ana," "Mother Machre'e," "The Girl I
Left Behind Me," etc., etc., till the or
der camte for absolute quiet and no
smoking. We had struck the danger
zone. The short jostled and jolted
sleep of the wor'ried boys was con
stantly interfered with by the grind
ing of the bra k's, constantly ::tarting
and slinping of the truels, and the
noise of guns and burs'-ing shills.
Then the final step fol:owed by the
long,long march. The pack straps
cut our shoulders like wires, the can
teen:; rattled empty in the cups, and
ti(e bunch who had "wimed up" against
orders, wabbl''d and rolled sidewise
with weariness, and utter exhaustion
is they walked, but walked on and on
in the dark (so dark that cach man
held the rifle of the lad in front so
that he'd know where to go and, too,
it help:ed to tell you t'iv fellow in
front was still there) till tih' blood
pounds through your temples, your
mouth is parched with thirst.. We
we'lked on up hill, down hill, through
fields and woods, ditches and banks,
.nd shell holes and mud, the whol''
line making no soui save the dull
thud of many feet, except occasionally
the rattle of stray piece:; of equip
meat-a rifle touched a helmet- a
bayonet. scabbard ra'tld on its b:'lt
hooks, or a ennteen clanked in its ctap
--that was all--save the shells.
A suppresrced half w:nisper c:en
down the line, "laIt." Then e:'me the
inevitable "Rear of I;ne lost, Private
----lost." Then the short wait, fol
lowed by "Forward,'' and again we
were off. The flash, flash of the hirh
explosive;, the roar and crack of
shrapnel and the whine of the splin
ters, Ih' rising crescendo that let a
man know a shl!l was con ing, all
tended to show us that our journey
would soon be .ver'. The' front. could
not he far away. Theni can. th(' roar
of the gas shell with its peculiar
sound in flight and its muffled explo
sion, th-- gagging and choking tremor
of the new men in their fir:t, gas at
tacc. Suddenly our guide stooped. A
man had risen on each :id" of him
placed a cocked automatic toward the
place where he had stor"d his last hot.
