March 31 Energetic fighting continues from
one end of the battle front to the other--both the
British and FrencKbeing etigaged. Opposite the
British, however, the fighting is ihokly 1(1 in
character. Some of f his was done in the midst of
thunder storms, with rain and hail, typical of the
Anril weather in France. - : , : ;;

clearing up the situation, especially in the forest
northeast of Moreuill. J 1
Fighting of a similar nature is going on around

Committee Gives
Out Following
In response to various requests for
information, the committee on Victory
Gardens from the Civics Department of
the Woman's CluW has issued the fol
lowing statement.
Children who wteh to be enrolled in
this work should report their names
at once, to the teacher at school for
transmission to the committee, and
to MJse 1m s to nelD wltb the
work. .Ine:mtantime they can go
right tor work getting things, in shape.
Theymay have hep in breaking up and
preparing tne land, diit are expecceu w
do all the work themselves after this'
is done. As soon as the enrollment is
completed an effort will be made to
have a meeting of the gardeners insi
der that gneral instructions may be
given them, and questions asked and
answered.
It is necessary to have an enrollment
of at least fifty children if the plans
of th committee are to be carried out.
Parents are once mere earnestly re
quested to urge their children to en
roll and to report their names to the
teachers of the respective grades not
later than next Wednesday, April 3.
The following is the list of seeds to
be planted:
Cabbage, Irish Potato, Sweet Potato,
With eager eyes we watched as she
deftly measured out the ingredients for
the Victory breads. To the many ques
tions applied while mixing the- dough,
she cheerfully responded. If all the
club women of Greenville could have
seen with what dexterity and economy
the breads were made they would never
hav regretted the sacrifice of time giv
en in the observation of it. Placing
the finished batches In receptacles to
rise Mrs. Jetur retired to return later.
Mrs. Austin in the bright tnd happy
manner peculiar to her, gave a talk

thines she mentioned that could beH

the admonition to save and use what
has usually heretofore been thrown
away, we will not only conserve for our
own good but also "for that of the men
who are helping to win the war.
MrsV Jetur then returned with two
large pans of rolls from the oven and
nice fresh butter and delicious traw-
berry jam. These with the steaming
hot tea served by Mrs. 1. L. Cars sure

(By The United Press)
LONDON. Official reports from thebattle
front, contained in the war office commique,
shows that the Allies had pushed forward at four
widely separated points, while holding the' Ger
mans in check elsewhere. The most important of
the Allied successes was the recapture of Moreuill
10 .miles north and west of JMontdidier and the
same distance southeast of Amiens.
Moreuill was taken by British and, t. French
trooDs operating:' jointly. The forward thrust by
the French- resulted in the capture of several
small villages.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE.
War planes report the German occupation of
Moreuill, on theight bank of the Avre.
After heavy fighting the eqemy launched a
vicious assault Sunday afternoon between More
uill and Demuin, simultaneously entering . these
villages at three-thirty o'clock. .
The Germans are reported as moving westward
along the Luce valley, having passed Hangard.
This is practically their only chance south of the
Somme, but it is important, as it brings the enemy
nearer the Paris-Calais railway. -: -:;
