latest War News.
The great German drive that
has been expected momentarily
for the last two weeks, was
launched Monday morning at 6
o'ciock, with all the fury possible
at their command. The Allies
were not taken by surprise, and
met the attack with that pre
paredness and determination
that muBt mean victory in the
end. Every hour since the drivebe
gan, the battle has been raging.
With the Germans, it is now or
never. The Allies feel that de
feating them now, will mean the
swift hastening of the end of the
war. But, the slaughter of hu
man life is appalling, and it is
the Germany army that is suf
fering. The latest dispatches
bring nothing but encouragement
for our troops. Of course, the
Americans are now taking part
as they never did before, and we
may prepare ourselves to hear of
losses that will come close home.

Sharkey and the Officer Disagreed
About the Date of Planned
Smuggling.
Sharkey, the artful dodger of a
gang of dock workers, had become
the happy possessor of a consider
able quantity of tobacco wbilo he
was on duty, lie was in a quandary,
however, as" to the best means to
evade the strict surveillance of the
officers of the law in order to get
his treasure out' of the docks with
out payin,;' the duty.
On passing out of the gates that
night, he bribed one of the officers
to allow him to go out on the fol
lowing evening without being
searched, as ho would have 8ome
tobacco with him.
The officer, although falling in
with Sharkey's arrangement, decided
to make a capture the next night.
"I charge this man with having
concealed about him a quantity of
tobacco, which he is attempting to
take away without having paid the
duty," eaid the officer to his chief
the next night.
"Is that a fact, my man?" asked
the chief.
"No, sir," replied Sharkey.
Whereupon he was subjected to a
thorough search and, no tobacco be
ing found, he was at once released.
"But what about the arrangement
we made?" asked the officer of Shar
key when they were alone.
"Oh, that's all right, old man. I
had the tobacco with me then," said
Sharkey, as he marched out of the
gates, much to the disgust of the
officer. Top Notch Magazine.
WHAT BOTHERED HIM
NO HARM IN SPRING FEVER
Is Rather to Be Cultivated Than Com
bated With Tonics, Declares -Medir.i
Writers.
"ffprlng fever" n true spring fever
Is something to be cultivated, accord
ing to the New York Medical Journal.
It Is not to be combated Willi laxatives
or tot cs. The feeling of lassitude and
luck of tone Is expected annually about
this time of year, consequently It
comes.
We unconsciously choose this season
as an excuse for giving way to "an In
dolence vMch Is ulvays Reeking to
turn us oil I to play. This pleasure de
sire withdrawn from the task, that
abundant flow of Interest which right
fully knows neither times nor seasons, I
and which truly exercises the body
n ';' from fatigue and malaise. The
Ian of conservation of energy, how- .
ever, teaches us that withdrawn ener
gy Is only nt work somewhere else."
It Is, In the medical writer's opinion,
man's Immemorial and somewhat
magical feeling of Identification with
the world of nature that brings out at
this season n "renewed Impulse of self-
expression, and for exercise of crea- i
tlve power." The restraints and con
ventions of n complex civilization, how
ever, make us repress r'id Inhibit these
Impulses, Hence the unrest.
But If we would cultivate the
"spring fever" by pitching energetical
ly Into creative work It may be mnde
to supplant nil periods of default of
energy, and we may have spring with
us always and under all circumstances.
