The fire is believed to have been start ed by tramps in one of the sections the allies' left, the English and ! French have made "notable pro- < gress." i i German Assaults Lack Former Punch Evidence that the German as- : saults are being delivered with less force is conveyed in the inti mation that between Die Somme and Oise their artillery attacks are not being followed up with in fantry charges. It is possible that; they have withdrawn some of i their troops from this position to strengthen their advance toward the coast, but it is considered this would be risky as it might permit the allies to break through and in terrupt the communications of their armies fighting north of the Aisne.

When these families become coun ty charges, as a rule, there are a number of children to be cared for. Whenever possible these chil dren are placed with families, but reeently it has keen hard to find homes for them. Under the law the children may ! be kept in the county home for a period of 30 days only. While in attendance at the state convention ♦ of poor directors at Carlisle, Coun ty Commissioner E. M. Ansley and Mrs. Sue E. Williard consulted with members of the state board of charities and received permis-1 sion to turn the big farmhouse at the county home into a home for foreign children until such times as suitable places can be secured for them. Mrs. Williard will have charge of the home and it will be conducted along lines similar to the Girls' Industrial School on Eleventh street. A school will be connected with the home. The i boys will also be taught to do use ful chores, gardening, etc., while the girls will be given instructions in household duties.
