The City of Lens.
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,*

steel and iron foundries, engineering
works, and steel cable manufactories.
The city is 12 miles north of Arras
by rail and some 18 miles southwest
000 men. In addition to this great
of Lille. 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. To the northwest is Callais,
70 miles distant by rail. The
Deule or Souchez river flows through
the town, thereby, with the Lens
canal, affording water transportation
northward into the Lvs."

WAK KKPOKTS SUMMARIZEI), j
News From Various ilattlefronte Told :
in Brief.
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

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

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."
