Tho regular monthly mooting of the

the work rooms last Friday evening
at eight o'clock. At .the close of tho
meeting Judge McKnight who has

Weeks Review
At do timo during the weeks flfiht-
committee by Congressman Sinnott
and Senator McNary as well as the
complete details and merits of the
project sent by.Secretery Hope and
Chief Engineer Wiley-
Tho sub committee at San Fran
cisco has had the rnatter under con
sideration tho past week and are ex
pected to recommend tho issue to tho
Waimsprings committee thta week.
The merits of tho project, including
quick and increased production and
the low acra cost of the system
make such an extremely favorable
showing that there can be little likli-
hood of the government not sanction
ing the issue as a needed war devel
opment. ing has there been a slacking, on the
part of the Allies onward drive.
Early in the weak they crossed tho
Aisne and routed the German troops
driving them still farther northward.
Freshets caught tho retreating Ger-'
mans "on tho Vesle and thousands
were killed. Tho American troops in
this drive alone took 8100 prisoners
and many guns.
Franco-British troops aided by
American divisions early in the week
entered the great store house of tha
Marno front. Tho trail of tho fleeting
Huns everywhere was a vertiWo
charnel house. As they retreated
they burned evacuated citie3, and des
troyed and burned bridges and other
means of communication
Beginning' the early part of the
week the enemy withdrew on the Avre
river front- and Friday morning wore
completely swept ifrom these posi
tions by tho British attack.
A large part of the Crown
Prince's army is, in retreat beyond
the Aisno front where they hope to
get to positions of safety and make
a stand. During the last few dayr,
of tha week's fighting they impose'
strong resistance along the Vesle ant
east of Solssons to Rhcims, but lost
heavily when attempting to counlci
.attack, and wore defeated at ever;
point.
Tanks and machine guns played ai
Impoitant part in the supriso attacl.
Friday at dawn. The Allies too'
thousands df prisoners and large num
bers of machine guns from the Ger
mans who fled pell moll before th-

WELFARE WORK
T0C0NTINUE
Many Mothers Not Interested in Bet
ter Baby Movement.
Two more days have been set a
side by the Women's County Council
of Defence for the weighing and
measuring of Vale Babies. Only ft
small percentage were examined dur
ing the two days last week and do
causp the government wishes the cam
paign to be a thorough one it was
found necessary to continue tho work
afternoons -of Tuesday and Wednes-
Jay, August 13 and 14 from two till
five o'clock.
A largo majority of Valo mothers
were apparently not interested in
knowing whether ot not their children
measured up to the standard for their
iges. Tho movement for better babiei
i just as important a3 any other pat
riotic movement, for the burdens ,of
ho coming generation will rest upon
tha shoulderj of the boy3 and girb
md there is no duty so sacred as tho
ight of parents to give the child
very advantage for a healthy growth
'o manhood or womenhood-
There is no obligation or expense
onnected with ths contest as conduct
ed by the government. The babies
may be brought to me Vale public
I ibrary rooms- Tuesday and Wednes
day afternoons and under direction of
Millard Nelsen their weight and
nearuromcnts are taken according, to
government standards obtained from
nation wie'e investigations in child
welfare. The children up to four
years of ago are included in this
campaign and Chairman of the Wom
en's Council of Defense, Mrs Lyle re
quests that each mother make special
note of the days and respond prompt
ly so that the work may be made a
easy as possible: It is the ernest dc
niro of the workers in this district to
turn in a full report of the babies
living within their territory but some
cooperation on tho part of tho moth
ers must be shown. When yOu bring
youy baby see that your neighbor is
also notified; Consider this work
just as important as Red Cross and
Liberty Loan work and do your bit.
Help your country in making a com
plete report for tho better health of
its babies.
