GERMANS ItUSIUXfl 'itOOPS-
TO SAVE ARMY COLLAPSE.
Mighty efforts aro being made by
tha German high command to check
the allies' advance thru Plcardy to
ward Poronno, Royo and Noyon. On
tho northorn end of the battHsHlne the
British have- not been ablo to progress
rapidly during tho Sunday night, ri'.tho
London reports unofficially that tho
Tillage of Brayo has been entorod.
In tho center strong German coun
ter attacks seen to havo held up tho
advance. There Is an unconfirmed re
port, however, that Itoyc lias been
abandoned by tho enemy.
On tho right tho French aro still
gaining ground steadily. They havo
reached tho crest of tho hills west of
the Olse and havo virtually cleared
the iMatz valloy of Una enemy.
Interest in the Plcardy battlo now
centers on the German leJforts to mob
ilize tho front along tho lino from Al
lien south to Chouliits and to check
the French efforts to envolopo tho
enrany's position at Lasslgny.
Tho coming day or two probably
will bo marked by savago fighting,
especially on tho south, whorfd the
continued progress of the French
would waken tWft whole German posi
tion, If It does not turn tho flank of
the Ntyon-Nslos line, which may bo
the first defBislvo front upon which
the enemy may elect to stand.

Should it rain Wednesday, tluef picnic
will be held Thursday.
FORMER NORTH PLATTE HOY
KILLED IN ACTION.
James Simpson Hodgos, Who atten
ded tho North Platto high school In
1912 and 1913. and who was a marine
in the service In France, was killed
July ad in an engagement at Chateau
Thierry. This information ntnehed
rolatlves last Saturday when a card
from tho f,ovcrnmont was received by
Mrs. Pettir Strykor, of Overton, an
arpit of tho young man, it wns phoned
by her to Mrs. Will Boll, of tho Bird
wood section, who is also an aunt.
"Jiin" Hodgos will bo remembered as
a bright young man, whose llfo in this
city was darkened by tho sulcido of
his father who ran thta brick barn on
Front strecL Loavlng North Platto
Jim Wont to rolatlves at Overton
where he mnd,ei his homo until last
year when ho went to Mllwakeo and
oniisted in tlio marines. Tho namo of
tho young man appeared in tho casu
alty list published tho. same day tho
card was received at Overton.
In his announcement ns a candidate
for stato representative from this
county E. S. Davis statos that ho will
support tho ratification of tho nation
al prohibition nmendmont. vThts
should ontitlo him to hearty support.
The best thing, that over happened to
North Platto was putting tho saloons
out of business; when Nebraska voted
dry tho- following year tho prosperity
of ,the state was increased, and when
we have national prohibition wo will
havo a much bettor country than we
havo ever had. National prohibition
will bring to the people of tho coun
try at largo tho same measuro of
prosperity and happiness that local
prohibition has brought to North
Platte.
