WITH THE- BRITISH ARMT J FRANCE. Msrch 25 This has been an other day of most desperate and san guinary fighting alone: the whole front of the new battle sons. In fact, in th northern sectors there lias been no cessation in tha, awful j wore, since yeeieruay morning. The Hermans have continued to hurl great forces of Infantry into the con flirt, depending largely on weight of numbers to overoom the Increasing opposition offered by the heroically re sisting British. On the northern wing; of the offen sive the enemy this niorninir brought up additional troops sfter an all-night struggle of the fiercest nature and re newed his efforts to break the British front In the region of Ervtllera. oT the south near the center of the line an equally strong attempt is being made by tha Invaders to extend the long, nsrro wsalient whtc hthey had pushed In south of Bapaume, near Lon. gueval famous in tha annals of the battle of the Somme. These nlacea were again the scene of shambles, in which the British ma-J chine gunners and riflemen exacted a terrible toll of death fro mthe closely pressing enemy. 'Straggle Intense la Soath. Stil lfurthef south the Germans were pounding the front hard In an endeavor to push on and get a firm grip on Nesle snd swing the Urltlsh right flank back. while the determined defenders were battling doggedly to force the enemy back and reclaim the positions previ ouslv held bv them along the river. The decision concerning all of these centers is yet In abeyance, so far as is known at tnia time, and the struggle goes on with unabated fury. The re siatance of the British right wins has heen nsrticularly strong. On Saturday the Germans essayed the crossing of the Somme on rafts In the Nesle sector, but these expeditionary forces were caught In a hail of artillery machine gun and nfhs fire, and vir timllv wined out. Yesterday, however, the Germans succeeded in getting trops serosa in this manner and followed these ad vanced guards up with strong forces, which pushed on in the neighborhood of Morchaln. , The British were contesting the ad vance fiercely, and. at latest reports, were holding the hard-hitting enemy strongly. LoDgneval Battle Spectacalar. The battle today on th historic ground about Longueval was perhaps the most spectacular of any along tne front. It was a day for machine gun ners and infantry. The Germans were pursuing their tactics of working forward in massed formation, and the British rapid fler squads and riflemen were reaping a harvest from their positions on the high ground. Notwithstanding their terrible losses, the Germans kept com ing on. filling in the places of those who had fallen, and pressing their at tacks. The British artilery In the mean time poured In a perfect rain of shells on the enemy, carrying havoc into the ranks of the enemy. In this section the Germans were operating without the full support of their guns because of their rapid ad vance. In the north, in the region of Ervll lers. the British last night were forced once more to abandon Mory. which had changed bands several times in the last few days. They fell back for a short distance and tha battle this morning waa staged largely along the Bapaume Arras road. The Germans employed a large num ber of divisions in this assault, 'hlch In the early hours was held off by the British gunners. Refugees Swaraa Bark. For the last four days French refu gees have been streaming back from the evacuated towns In large numbers. Everywhere along the roads leading to the front were to be met old men. women snd children all trudging stoic ally behind their horse-drawn carts of household furniture or even racking a few belonging In a bag on their back. It la possible today to give details of that most Important phase of the battle fought in the sector between Gouseau- I court and St. Quentin. The country her was snrouaeo in mist Thursday morning snd the er mans advanced without being- seen? Strong forces of infantry flung them selves against the British front line ..siH after .a fierce struggle prone through It at several places. They then continued driving hard for Templeux, near liargicourt. Just In front of the former-village were ouariiea where-the British had taken up positions, and hre a battle of greet ferocity was waged. The Ger mans repeatedly tried to take tha quar. rles by storm, but so ganani waa in defense of th comparatively small forces that the attacking troops wer unable to push their way through. Ftv DUIslona Saaash Line. While this struggle wss In progress. the enemy flung five divisions against he line in front of Harglncourt and compelled th British to fall back from that place. This automoiicauy nuoi tha struggle In the Temnleaux quarriea aand the defendera fell back a IHUe. On Friday a fierce, engagement was --t about Le Verguier. which the Germans raptured but not until the British infantry holding the place had fought to the last man and inflicted extremelv heavy losses on the enemy. The British sgsin fell back, this time to a line through HerviUy, just east of Bolsel and Vermand. The German csptured HervUly. but the British csme back with the help of tanks in a dashing counter attack, which forced the enemy to withdraw. The Germans, however. In sn sttsek further down the line, hsd forced the British line to swing back snd the whole front of this sector waa com pelted to give way. falling- back to the line on the Somme.

WOMAN IS THE BETTER BETTER HALF Man only thinks he is the lord of creation. His, in reality, is the puppet crown. The power behind the throne pulls the strings. Woman rules by wit, by art, by subtlety, but chief of her weapons are beauty of face and grace of line. Women feel their sovereignty gr,ow less sovereign, therefore, aa their weight Increases. This is a fatal error. To prevail, woman must be graceful. Man will not escape slavery, but he wilt be someone else's slave. That's the rub.
