Baffled by the valor of the allied soldiers, the Germans yes terday failed to enlarge greatly the pocket in the allied lines. Even in the center the enemy appears to have been held and the advance there Is slack ening. In accordance with their favor ite manoeuver, the Germans apparent ly are swinging eastward, with the object of getting around Rhelms, Vllle-en-Tanlenois and the valley of the Ardre. The bastion constituted by the ruined city, and the high ground north of the mountain of Rhelms Is a menace to the German flank. It Is too strong to be attacked from In front with any chance -of success, so the enemy is trying to torn in from the southwest. While any progress by the Germans on FrencB soil with the inevitable trail of ruin and desolation strikes French hearts sorely, the unswerving confi dence with which the French public views the situation is most remarks' ble. No doubt is felt as to the outcome, and there is no weakening in the 're solve to fight on to -the end. GERMANS DRENCH THE UKRAINIANS WITH GAS As a Reprisal for Peasant Disorders in .

These gentlemen were touring I this part of the State In the Interest' of the sale of War Baring Stamps, and Thrift 8amps by the retail merchants of the State. Both these gentlemen met with as last night, and made splendid and Inspiring talks on the subjest It is very, much to be re gretted that under the circumstances a very small audlenoe greeted them. Mr. J. E. Davis, of the Concord Fur olture Company, has been appointed chairman of this work for Concord, and Is anxious to enlist the hearty co operation of every retail merchant in the city In this patriotic work. The quota assigned to the retail merchants of Concord for sale to their customers, is $43,102.00. and we are expected to have this amount, and as much over as possible, sold by December 31st of this year. It looks like a big amount, but the experience of other towns is that when the merchants get behind the movement In earnest. It Is easy of accomplishment. k - A meeting of the Merchants Asso ciation was .called tor next Tuesday, June, 4th., at 8 :30, to Inaugurate planrf for. this great work the retail merchants of the city have been asked to assume as a patriotic duty in back standing our boys who are lighting our battles "over there."
