POINT OF UR
GERMAN'S LAST OFFENSIVE WAS
RAGING A YEAR AGO.

Commenced Attack.
A year ago this month'. With Ger-
many completely beaten, her armies
dispersed and her High Seas fleet at
the bottom of the sea, and tiro names
of her representatives written at the
font of a lliimiiiating peace treaty, it
scarcely seems possible that at this
One last year ---on July 15th, 191.8, to
be exact --she was still able to launch
eterrific offensive and to, for a.sllort
time, drive back the allied armies. It
was Germany's greatest attack since
March 21st, 1918 --rand her last des-
pairing blow.
"The inhabitants of Paris and the
suburbs heard violent artillery firing
in the early hours to -day," stated the
Associated Press despatch which ap-
peared in the Toronto newspapers
that day. "The sky towards the east
• was constantly lit up as if by a great
electrical storm. Those who were on
the boulevards after midnight listened
to the canonade, while soros gathered
on the high points of the city to watch
the distant heel/ ens. The noise of the
firing was particularly,aloud in the
southern part of the city."
The Germans. headed towards
Paris, had crossed the Marne in sev-
eral places. They had got within 45
Miles o the capital, at Chateau
Thierry. Hindenburg had launched
between 30 and 35 divisions at what
he thought was the weakest spot in
the long allied line. Tho Germans had
attacked on a 25 -mile front between
Chateau Thierry and Bligny and on au -
other 25 -mile stretch from Prunay to
Afaison de Champagne. French and
American troops were defending these
sectors and the Hun thought a breach
slight be easier here than elsewhere.

After a gigantic bombardment the
Germans attacked and in the first
fury of their onslaught managed to
push back the allied line as much as
4,000 yards at one spot. But their
success was only momentary. Allied
counter-attacks were quickly deliver-
ed by the lith. All Hun onsets were
being smashed up. In two days it was
estimated that the Germans had lost
100,000 men.
Suddenly on the. morning of July
18th, 1918, came the beginning of the
last act in the Great War. Foch
launched his offensive. The generalis-
simo tried the Hun out on the 35 -mile
front between Buileau and Fontenot.
The Hun line gave, the seemingly
strong German line was found to be
weaker than it appeared. Then along
the 300 -mile front which lay twisted
and twined from the clunes of the
North Sea to the mountains of Swit-
zerland, allied attacks broke forth
now here, now there, till pounded and
driven along its entire length the
German army began the retirement
which ended in surrender on Novem-
ber 11, 1918.

Explorer Stefansson Also Suggests
Musk Ox as Source of Supply.
Villtjaimur Stefansson, the Arctic
explorer, by a recent address before
the Canadian Commons and Senate,
has awakened Canada to the import-
ance of the caribou and musk ox as a
source of food supply for the nation.
The Dominion Government, upon the
recommendation of Arthur Meighen,
minister of the interior, has appointed
a commission to make a thorough in-
vestigation of the Arctic and sub -Arc-
tic regions with a view to the conser-
vation of these wild herds.
There are between thirty and sixty
•million caribou in the North according
to estimates. They range as far south
as Churchill river in winter and retire
to the tundra region in the summer.
Thousands are slaughtered by wolves
and hunters every year. Their meat is
equal to fine venison and their hides
tan into leather that resembles cham-
ois skin. The completion this year of
the Hudson Bay Railway, a branch of
the Canadian national system, extend-
ing from the Pas to Port Nelson on
Hudson Bay, will open a route by
which the animals can be conveniently
shipped to market.
The musk ox are not numerous.
They never venture south of the Great
Barrens, Their pleat is like beef and
they yield a wool equal to that of
merino sheep. Mr, Stefansson be-
lieves that if the herds were superin-
tended by a force of rangers they
could be greatly increased and would
becOlue in time a valuable commercial,
factor.
From the Days of the '`Grand Monarch'
to Date Has Been Under
Troubled Shade.

There is something of .irony in the
fact that democracy's greatest victory
has been signed and sealed in that
dream of art which Louis XIV.
"wrought lordlike into stone" to sym-
bolize and perpetuete the magnifi-
cence of royalty.
It is a haunted house, that palace of
Versailles. The ghosts of the i11ue-
trious and notorious, the beloved and
the execrated, walk down its halls.
First of all, the "Grand Monarch" who
lavished the people's substance in in-
credible sums for a grandiose depic=
tion of himself and the splendor of his
reign. The troubled shade of De Pom-
padour comes back in lonely hours,
again "to rule a king and misrule a
nation," to witness the triumphs which
ended finally on a dismal morning
when lackeys tossed her coffin care-
lessly into a coach. There was that
life which was a royal idyl, into which
the despair and hunger of the mob
were to come thundering at last, to
splash the elegance with blood, to
jeer Marie Antoinette on the way to
the guillotine, to make of France a
shambles. Thus ended the palace as a
chateau. It was never again a place
of residence. But two centuries after
the "Grand Monarch," the King .of
Prussia occupies the palace and the
Iron Chancellor's dream is realized in

And he looked surprised when a

Gooseberries produce fruit both on
the old and new wood. Pruning, which
is best done in the spring, should be
confined to thinning out the branches
so as to secure well rounded bushes
with open heads. Cut back to an
upward pointing bud any branches
that bend down to the ground.
Gooseberries like water. Not that
they cannot have too much, but in well
drained soil they enjoy a good sprink-
ling daily so the ground about them
will not dry out.
A mulching of well rotted manure
about the plants as soon as the fruit
buds have set is beneficial, enabling
the Partas to perfect their fruit and
form ildwering buds for the following
year. Keep the mulch damp.

sistently maintained.
