WITH THE BRITISH AP.MT IN
FRANCE," April 20. Latent German en
ergy In plenty was walling to be re
leased today at numerous points along
the battle sone, but up to noon little of
It worked through to the surface. The
slowing down of hostilities since the
Germans suffered a ftrlevous defeat
Thursday has represented one of those
lulls which Inevitably must come in any
battle.
Battle Sooa t Be Renewed.
There were plenty of sisns, however.
that hostilities might be resumed on a
big scale at any moment. In the mean
time the allies, with their reinforced
and solidified lines, are waiting com
placently for the German armies to
make the next move.
The defenders are eminently satisfied
with the outcome of the operations In
the last few days. Not only have they
held their lines steadily in the face of
furious attacks, but they Inflicted most
serious losses on the enemy. It was a
bit of a shock sentimentally to pull
back from the Passchaendaele Ridge
system, over which the British standard
was carried In such Invincible fashion
last Summer, but the wisdom of the
move needs no defense.
LONDON. April 20. Nine machine
guns, a trench mortar and prisoners
were taken by the British in a local
operation yesterday south of the
Scarpa River. A German counter at
tack was repulsed.

On the Flanders battlefront the Brit

The British gained all their ob

Flanders, advancing their defenses at
Givenchy and Festubert and re-estab

In sharp fighting southeast of
Robecq the British drove back German
attacking parties.
No further big enemy attack de

In ths Arras region there was more
activity yesterday and last night. The
British advanced their line sngntiy on
1300-yard front east of Beauralns
and repulsed a German counter at

British before they could get up rein

OTTAWA, OnL, April 20. Although
picked troops were used In the opera

Belgian troops between Kippe and
Langemarck this week did not win an
inch of territory and was beaten back
with heavy losses.
Belgians Score Victory. .
This information. describing the
fighting on the Belgian front, was re
ceived by the Belgian Consul here to
day in s cablegram, wnicn saia:
"The Belgians took 714 prisoners, a
77-millimeter gun, two bomb-throwing
machines and 43 macnine guns.
A translation of the cablegram, follows:
"The operation attempted by the
Germans on the front between Kippe
and Langemarck resulted In a complete
failure as shown by documents found
Dossesslon of captured olticere.
These orders reveal the Importance at
tached by the Germans to the opera
tion, which had been under preparation
since April 11.
The Germans were to take Merckem,
Lughem, Ascbboop. Lansewa and
Rlxschoote and were to reach the Tser
Canal west of Tpres In the direction of
Poperlnghe to envelope the left of the
allies. The Belgians took 714 prison
ers, a 77-milllmeter gun, two bomb
throwers and, 42 machine guns. Their
line being entirely re-established .on
the evening of April 17. the German
attack announced by captured officers

to ' announcement made by R. L.
Irpmme, supervisor of the Olymplfr
Forest. The work will be done with
Federal forest road aid and state and
county funds.
Nearly two miles of highway is to be
built along the south side of Lake
Qulnault. An additional five and a
half miles of. the Olympic Highway,
extending northwest toward the Queets
district from its present terminus at
the foot of the lake, will be graded
and graveled. A bridge will be built
over the Qulnault River. The lake
road will cost about 124, OOu, the grad

tension about $68,000 and the bridge
$10,000. The county will furnish about
$18,000. the state $37,000 and the re
mainder will come from the Federal
forest road aid fund.
The roads are to be built to faclll
tate production of airplane spruce, op
eration of this nature being under
wav in the Lake Qulnault district.
Construction on the Queets sections
will be facilitated by the fact that
about 12 miles of the right of way has
been cleared and grubbed.

This Truck Is Priced as Low as Federal Construction
and Standards Will Permit
There are trucks which cost less to buy but not
less to own.
This is straight from the shoulder.
There are trucks that are cheaper to buy, but can
you afford to own them? -
Federals, first of all, are built 25 per cent heavier
than modern truck practice says is necessary.
A Federal is designed to stand the heaviest of
service without grumbling. It is designed to give
years of service, instead of months. Used Federal
trucks command the highest of prices.
You can't build a truck like that and "skimp,"
and it is the service that Federals are giving here,
and everywhere in the Northwest, that proves that,
in the record of things' that are done, the Federal,
while not the cheapest to buy, is the most inex
pensive to own. "
Factory organization and immense production
establish the dollar-for-dollar value in a truck and
in that the Federal gives you most.

on your job will help you understand.
