Yesterday's vic tory of the French on the Verdun front was welcomed by the French people not only because after it the Germuns no longer hold one of their dearly bought conquests won since the first onrush on the Verdun fort ress in February, 1916', but ns proof that the unity of action among the entente nllies is nt work. The British, Italian and French fronts are nil active at the same time, milking it possible that weak ness mny develop somewhere along the German and Austrian lines con fronting them. The Figaro, however, warns its readers against expecting too much. "Experience has shown," the Fi garo says, "that it is vain to hope to pierce a front which incessantly closes after the breach has been made. At Verdun, ns in Flanders, the object is to strike tho enemy the most powerful blow possible and then to a wait an opportunity to strike again. It is not tho territory rewon that counts, hut the losses inflietcdi" Funornl services over the late Ca therine Williams were held In the Baptist church at Central Point this forenoon at 10 o'clock with Rev. Mr. Randy officiating.
