Americans Win Battle. With the American Army in France, April 22.--Twelve hundred German [storm troops, the largest number ever concentrated against the American , troops for an offensive operation, were hurled against the American position jon a one-mile front west of Renneres iforest, northwest of Toul. The attack followed a terrific bom- {ardment of gas and high-explosive I shells. „ The enemy succeeded In penetrating *£$ -the front line trenches and taking the "' * village of Seicheprey, but after furi- ious hand-to-hand fighting the Ameri­ can troops recaptured the village and jail of the ground lost in the early fight- ling. The Germans suffered heavy cas­ ualties. Pour Hot Fire Into Huns. The Germans came across No Man's [Land in three waves. They had been [specially trained for this operation. The Americans, although greatly outnumbered, fought for every inch of the way, giving grouni slowly and pouring a deadly machi.ie gun, rifle «nd automatic fire into the advancing •enemy. Germans Use Gas Shells. The German barrage began Just be­ fore sunrise after a heavy bombard­ ment on the Anieriean front and rear position In the course of the night. In an attempt to>;'put the American batteries out of action the Germafts used an unusually large number of gas shells, but the American artillery replied vigorously, hurling hundreds •of shells across the Teuton lines. A counter-barrage set down by the Americans caught the advancing Ger­ mans and killed a number of them before they hand an opportunity to reach the American trenches. The Germans entered the shell-torn village of Sceicheprey 1A the forenoon, but only remained a short time, being driven out again by a brilliant coun­ ter-attack made by the American in­ fantry. The commander of one unit holding an outpost reported at one stage of the attack that his men were slowly giving ground, but that they were "fighting every inch of the way." Huns Are Driven Out. Paris, April 22.--The French lines north of Seicheprey, where the Ger­ mans began a heavy attack against French and Americans have been com­ pletely re-established, according to the war office announcement.

London, April 22.--The British ad­ vanced slightly between Arras and Albert, says an official report. In counter-attacks at Givenchy and Fes- tubert the British gained all their ob­ jectives. Huns Exhausted by Hard Fight. London, April 20.--The Germans were completely repulsed In' the attack they launched around Givenchy on the southern side of the Lys battle front, the war office announced. The as­ saults ceased after heavy^ losses, the enemy having only been able to secure a limited footing at one or two points of more advanced British defenses. Six different German divisions, It has been determined, were engaged In the unsuccessful attack In the Glven- chy-St. Venant sector. The enemy launched further attacks south of Kemmel. These were broken up by the British artillery and machine gun fire. Enemy attacks on the British lines In the northern part of the Lys battle area south of Kemmel were success­ fully repulsed, the war office an­ nounced. Huns Exhausted by Attack*. With the British Army in France, April 20.--Exhausted by the failure of Thursday's heavy attacks on the Gi- venchy-La Bassee canal front, the Germans made no further moves dur­ ing the night, and on the greater part of the Flanders battle front quiet pre­ vailed Friday morning.

Italian Troops Reach France. Washington, April 20.--Italian regi­ ments already are In France and form the right wing of the allied armies, the Italian embassy announced today. The Italian force on the west front will be approximately 200,000 men, ac­ cording to a member of the Italian high war commission here this after­ noon. According to one high officer, "large units of Italian troops are now at the disposal of General Foch, con­ stituting part of the allied army of maneuver." In explanation of the apparent an- amaly involved In dispatching Ital­ ian troops to the French war front while French and British troops are now in Italy, Italian military experts pointed out here that Italy has a large number of soldiers available for serv­ ice If they can be properly armed, equipped and maintained. It Is un­ derstood that the French and British war departments are prepared to sup­ ply the necessary equipment and arms. BHtish Repulse Big Attack. With the British Army in France, April 10.--German troops are driving furiously against the British defense between Givenchy-Les-la-Bassee and St. Venant in an attempt to effect a crossing of La Bassee canal. Ten di­ visions are being used by the Ger­ mans. The British are holding well and In­ flicting heavy casualties on the enemy, according to the latest report. More than 200 prisoners were taken. French Take Over 500 Prisoners. Paris, April 18.--The French official report says: "We have attacked vari­ ous enemy positions on the Avre on a front of four kilometers (two and a half miles), between Thennes and Mallly-Ralneval. "East of the Avre we have made progress and west of it we have taken the greater part of the Senecat woods and carried our line to the outskirts of Castel. Farther south we reached the slopes west of the height* dominating the Avre. "The number of prisoners taken by us exceeds, up to the present, 500, of whom 15 are officers. We captured several machine gups. \ estimate the German losses between August, 1917, and January 31, 1918, as 367,450 killed and taken prisoner on "both fronCs.* Making By-Products* Useful.

C., April 18.--The United States must, furnish the strength that will crush Germany and furnish It at once. This was the in­ formation Secretary of War Baker brought back from Europe and pre­ sented to the president and members of the war council at the White House. The conclusion forced by Secretary Baker's observations and experience at the battle front Is that while Great Britain and France are still capable ot holding the Germans at bay, the defeat of Germany depends upon the strength of the forces of the United States and the speed .with which they are sent to the relief of the hard-pressed allies. Secretary Baker brought home to the president and the war council the need for extraordinary efforts to give to American war activities the force, precision, and rapidity which will pro­ vide effective assistance to the allies with the least possible delay. Urges All America to Aid.. The secretary also gave out an In­ terview to the press in which he called on the American people to support the government's war activities. "The right arm of America is in France and it is bared ready for ac­ tion and striking hard," Secretary Baker said. "The rest of the body is over here, and we must support and invigorate that arm." For his own part and on behalf ot the war department, the secretary pledged better results In speeding men and munitions to the fighting front. "The Information I went to France to get I got, and the picture of the actual application bf all this effort" Mr. Baker explained in outlining the results that might be expected to fol­ low his visit to the front. „ "I am now equipped with this means Of judging and appreciating the klpd of co-operation that the war depart­ ment In America can give to that army that wouldn't have been possible with­ out the visit to the actual field of battle," he continued. "It will un­ doubtedly lead to a much better co­ operation between the war depart­ ment and the army In France," ' Makes Report to President. Mr. Baker made a detailed report of conditions in the war zone to Presi­ dent Wilson, submitting a mass of data which he brought back with him. Besides Secretary Baker, there were present -at the 2^4-hours' conference with the president, Secretary Daniels, Chairman Baruch of the war Indus tries board, Hurley of the shipping board, McCormlck of the war trade board, Doctor Garfield, Mr. Hoover and John Skelton WIlllamB, represent­ ing the director general of railroads. No word of the military activities of American forces, or of the critical sit uatlon created for the allies by the German advance In Plcardy and Flan ders was spoken by Mr. Baker in his only conference with newspaper men. Troops In Fine Condition. "The condition of our soldiers In France Is a thing that I am very happy to have an opportunity to tell In the widest possible way," said the secre­ tary. "Our boys are well physically- big, strong, robust and healthy--and they are well In every other way Their spirits are high, their behavior Is most admirable, their relations with the French people and French soldiers and the British soldiers, to the extent I saw of them, were cordial and sym pathetic. "The healthfulness and wholesome- ness about the American army over there is perfectly splendid," the sec­ rets ry sdd^d *vlth Of the military qualities of the American troops Mr. Baker said? "The American soldier has made good in France and French and Brit­ ish military authorities and critics uni­ formly praise the courage, endurance and soldierly qualities of the Ameri- Song Bring* Them CI The song Is not nearly so lmjfoftlnt as the singing of It. In numerous places community singing has been re­ vived. It has been found that the spirit of the old New England town meeting is brought out by these com­ munity songs. After the people have joined their voices in a few familiar numbers they get together on other things. Many churches lost a great deal of their power to arouse commu­ nicants when they substituted paid choirs for congregational singing.--Ex­ change. Springfield.--Saloons were given a knockout blow in a number of Illinois cities and villages at the recent elec­ tions, 55 dramshops In four cities ilone being votel out, while two more counties. Rock Island and Carroll, are added to the list of bone-dry counties. Blue Island, the only spot In Cook county where there was a real Wet and dry battle, voted In favor Qf salooAk almost two' to one. The greatest vic­ tory for the prohibition forces "was at East Mollne, where prohibition carried by 265 votes, while another election caused the dry to rejoice was at Savanna in Carroll county, the ma­ jority against license being. 276. St. Charles in Kane county went drj by a margin of 126 votes. The ivurtiber of saloons in Rock Island Is 20, in Sa1- vanna 19 and In St. Charles, 10. Ches­ ter, the fourth city to go in the dry col­ umn, has six saloons. Mounds, Pulaski county; Arenzvtlte, in Cass county; Itaska village, in Dupage county, and Worden village, in Madison county, ft& roted to retain saloons. Springfield.--Almost every hamlet and county In the state, big or little, sent delegates to attend the state cen­ tennial ceremonies at Springfield. Gov­ ernor Lowden did the honors of the oc­ casion and the principal speakers at the opening exercises In the statehouse were Louis Aubert of the French high commission and Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago.

Various fea­ tures of Illinois* centennial will con­ tinue to march to the front during the summer, autumn and early winter. The main events Include the anniversary of Illinois' admission to the Union. Chicago.--Ice may be one of the al­ most prohibitive luxuries this summer with a "blue sky" price and an under- supplied market, according to members of the Illinois-Wisconsin Ice Dealers' association meeting in Chicago. "Owing to government restrictions regarding the use of ammonia," said one of the dealers, "the manufacturers cannot make one-tenth of the amount required Bloom! ngton.--Women of minats should organize to help win the war. More cuo he accomplished by doing, so than in any other way. This is the declaration made here by Mrs. Flor* ence Klug of Chicago in an address be­ fore the first annual convention of the Woman's Association of Commerce. "Get together," she told the many dele­ gates from all parts of the state. "Join, something--something that has for its objective aid to the government In its war^N-ogram. The Woman's As­ sociation of Commerce will help you. Greater efficiency can be had by or­ ganisation of the business women of Illinois. The Illinois Woman's Associ­ ation of Commerce was organized here with the following officers: President, Dr. Harriet M. Ellsworth, Dixon; vice president, Mrs. R. M. Loch, Blooming- ton; secretary, Miss Emma Kirch- hofer. Champaign; treasurer, Mrs. Anna Baird, Chicago. Chicago.--The following warning has { been Issued by H. H. Stoek, director of coal conservation for Illinois: "In all previous times of coal shortage an ef­ fort was made to sell to the public compounds an<i preparations to be sprinkled or poured on the coal or ash pile with the assurance that as a result there will be a Jsaving of coal,' 'doing away with soot,' etc., etc. A ton of coal bf a given grade has a certain heating value and that part of the possible heat obtainable depends entirely on the appliances used to burn the coal, and the care la firing and ill operating the furnace. Ash coming from coil that has been Incompletely burned Irt a furnace amy be put back into the fur­ nace, and a considerable amount of the unburned carbon burned in this second firing. The fuel administration, however, doe* not know of any specific in the form of a powder or fluid that can be added either to a coal or ash pile and the value of either increased. The public Is therefore warned thor­ oughly to Investigate any material sold to increase the value of coal or to make ashes burn, for, while all scien­ tific discoveries In the utilization of coal hdte not been made, all materials advertised in connection with previous coal shortages have proven to be failures, or worse." Springfield.--Among the quotas as­ signed Illinois exemption board dis­ tricts by Adjutant General Dickson, covering the May call of more than 8,- 000 selectmen, are the following: Men to entrain for Jeffersonsou barracks In the five-day period beginning May 1: City of Aurora, 54; Boone county, 20; fry the government, to say nothing about the ultimate consumer. This for Carroll, 25; Dekalb, 47; Dupage, f>4; State School Fund*. iBvery state In ' the Union, ekcept Georgia and Pennsylvania, has a per­ manent schiMrt fund, accumulated by various processes. The states ad­ mitted to the Union between 1802 and 1848. except Texas, received the six­ teenth ,s«¥rtlon in each surveyed town­ ship for school purposes, and since 1848, with a few exceptions, the states oh admission have received the six­ teenth and thirty-sixth sections In each township. As a rule the various state school funds have been wisely and honestly managed. Play Fair. There Is nothing like playlhg fairly, whether it be Just sport or in dead earnest.

With the longest, hardest winter the whole country has experienced for years the crop of Ice was small owing to the scarcity of labor to begin with and a car shortage to end with," Springfield--High school graduates In Illinois should take courses In en­ gineering as a patriotic duty. The government Is urging it, according to I. W. Fiske. assistant professor of elec­ trical engineering at the University of Illinois. He spoke to the high school {students here and said that the de­ mand for engineers by the government is growing daily. If the war continues long, he declared, the supply of en­ gineers Is going to be limited. Presi­ dent Wilson, he said, has personally sent a letter to all colleges showing the great necessity for technical train­ ing In the successful prosecution of the w&r.

Chicago.--War conditions and the spread of the thrift teachings will cause 1,000 saloons of this city to quit business with the opening of the new license perlod Ma? 1, city officials esti­ mate. This would reduce the total number of saloons In Chicagp to about B.000, and would represent a loss of $1,000,000 u year In the city's income from salooa licenses. A year ago there were approximately 7.000 saloons In tbe city.

Madden, (oonly farm advisor, sent out a bulletin urging more attention In the preventing of bugs from destroying crops. It says: "Orchards should be thoroughly sprayed to destroy the San Jose scaleb This pest causes more loss to apple growers than any other insect pest. The best way to exterminate them is Just before the leaves form. The en­ tire tree should be covered with a so­ lution of lime-sulphur. Liquid lime-sul­ phur can be obtained at practically all drug stores. One gallon of the sulphur mixed with eight gallons of water and applied to the tree with a spray pump will destroy the pest." Chicago.--Coal consumers of all classes will be well advised to«buy their entire supply of fuel for the com­ ing year as soon as possible. Neither can they afford to be particular about the kind of coal they buy. Anthracite, semlsmokeless from southern Illinois, or even soft coal from the central and northern part of the state--any of them will burn much better than noth* Ing. When zero weather comes next winter a coal bin full of even smoky and sooty soft coal Is likely to be a most desirable possession. Chicago.--Two secret wireless sta­ tions, one a powerful affair for send­ ing, located on top of a large office building Inside the Chicago loop dis­ trict, have Just been raided by opera­ tives from the department of justice. The second was equipped for receiv­ ing only and was on the North side. Investigation has revealed that the "sending" station was powerful enough to transmit messages to Mexico. One man connected with the work, when taken into custody, was found to be registered as an alien enemy.

Many and varied were their experiences and they ob­ tained several thousand feet of films, showing among other natives a race distinct from any other In the Solo- mon group of islands. The largest are four feet and six inches tall, while the average is a little over three feet in height. Johnson found that the world war has affected even the South Sea Islands, as all large vessels have been commandeered and the small craft are scarce.

During their voyage Mr. and Mrs. Johnson visited the Island of Malli- cala, where Nagapate, the chief high sachem of the Big Number tribe, showed a fondness for their company and sought to detain them. After land­ ing Johnson made a reel of film and then, accompanied by nine armed na< tives and a group of naked boatmen. ¥ Impossible for Johnson er HI* Wife to Defend Themselves. he and his wife sought Nagapate. who happened to be on a hill near the coast. As the party approached the throne, Nagapate gave somfe orders at which the carrier boys dropped the camera. Another order brought forth an army of Nagapate's followers who had been concealed In the surround* ing brush. All wei£ armed, making It Impossible for Johnson or his wife to defend themselves. Reacued by Warship. The chief gave more orders and groups of men started to lead Johnson in one direction and Mrs. Johnson in another. At that time there appeared In the bay a British man-of-war curry­ ing the French and British governor of the island, who had beard that the Johnsons were visiting Malllcala. Two white men, it seems, had been slain and eaten by the cannibals a year be­ fore, which made the governor a little anxious about the venturesome pair. The presence of the ship caused the natives to release tbe Johnsons, who managed to escape with the loss of a camera and some other equipment.
