THE WAR SITUATION.
The French have joined the British
inwhat looks like -the big spring drive
that has been se eagerly looked for-
ward to by the Allied countries for
as many months. Folk:tiring the great
I3ritish offensive of a week ago, the
,Freach on Sunday coram.enced a tre-
mendous offensive action on a frontage
of some 25 miles that has been so ir-
resistabIe that not only has the Hin-
denburg line been broken, but it has
been pierced t� over a depth el two
-miles, with the capture of over 13,000
prisoners, 11,000 of whom veere taken then, so blinded the eyes of the unsus-
on the first day's offensive, and a tree pectbig and -unorganized farmers, an
so swept them off their feet by the
raendous amount of war waterial fear of an invasion of their markets,
chiding many large guns, As in the that the movement was buried in an
case ..of the British the attack was avalanche. That was six years ego.

British have a prepoxiderance of men Truck or Trade with the Yankees or
anyone else is decidedly preferable
and material behind their lines which
to them if it will prove effective in
is well organized and always ready an effort to stave off sure defeat.
and when the word is given there will
be another advance that will Shake the
enemy's line even more than the last
one.
The German boast that before an -
ether great offensive could develop
they would be prepared to make an-
other retirement and that -only two
or three such retirements could be
forced on them during the suntmer,
has gone utterly astray on account
of the unprecedented speed with
which the British army is following on
the heels of the enemy, and this is
causing Hindenburg and his staff no
end of uneasiness and ie steadily sap-
ping the morale of his troops. He
knows these retreats are not Made for
any strategic reason, but are made
solely because he is forced to retreat
and the successes gained in the first
stage of the great drive by the Brit-
ish have undoubedly given the French
added confidence, which is being shown
by the way which they swept forward
when their turn came.
The -capture of so many German
big guns is the most encouraging re-
port that has mime from the seat of
war. It shows unfailingly that the
tenemy is so hard pressed that he can
not properly organize his retreat, nor
conceal his batteries. The day of
trench fighting has passed for him.
Hereafter it will be fight and run, In
the early stages of the war the enemy

Comrades!
If you cannot carry
a rifle, you can serve
your country on the
farm.
"The plow is our hope," declared
Right Hon. David Lloyd George, the
Prime Minister of Great Britain. The
tremendous significance of these words in
the face of a world -shortage of food must
be a matter of concern to all. It points
out the path of duty -to men and boys
unable to enlist in the army but capable o
helping to increase production.
Help the farmer increase
production
At this supreme hour when ample food production is
one of the indispensable means of victory, 2 the country
faces a serials shortage of men and boys on the farms. Tb.e
Department of Agriculture emphasizes the rsgency of every
man and boy taking to heart this splendid opportunity for
patriotic service.
Boys,Decide now to help in the war. If you are between the
ages of 14 and 18, and have good term record, you caa.
secere promotion at school by enlisting for farm service
any time between April 20th and May 20th.
Parents are urged to encourage their boys to enlist for farm
service. The physical and moral welfare of your boy will be
advanced by a summer spent dose to Nature, an interest will be
awakened in an important industry of the country that will be a
help to him in his whole future.
MAmin The Department appeals to retired airmen, to mei
VH following no occupation (retired), to business men who
can spare at least a portion of their time, to all men who
can arrange their affairs so as to help some fanner. Every inan is
invited to enlist for farm eervice.
