forces o f the A llies and to gain many points of vantage. The enemy gained som e ground but a t an enor­m ous loss and the few points gained ■will be o f little or no advantage in the end. T he A llies saved men and that is w hat is going to count. In addition they gained tim e needed, to g ive th e Americans a chance to get Into better position, and it is now evident th at they w ill be able to hold their lin e until more Americans reach them . T he enemy therefore is hopeless o f forcing a decision at thiq point, a t th is tim e. The tragic sac­rifice o f human life muist be making an Impression upon the German peo­ple, their victories are empty and they must comm ence to realize that final defeat i.«? inevitable. The war may continue for months, perhaps for years the collapse may be de­ferred; but the A llies are bound to win and the longer it takes, the more Germajiy destroys, the greater the cost in m oney and men, the greater th e penalty which Germany m ust pay w hen peace conies.

Now that the Liberty loan cam ­paign is over there is an excellent chance to continue helping the gov- erninent and at the sam e tim e help yourselves. Buy th e thrift stamps and w ar saving certificates. Encour­age the children to do the sam e. The baby bonds are a good investm ent, safe as the governm ent, w ill help you save quarters which w ould otherw ise be needlessly expended perhaps, and w ill be found conveni­ent som etim e, should a rainy day visit your household. /

From all governm ent reports the buflineaa outlook, com m encing with the m onth o f May, Is m ost encour- .M iog . There is a feeling of opti­mism regarding the prospect of in­creased food production and little danger of a shortage if care is used and people cultN^ate the land as they should. Good prices w ill do much to insure an increase in production and th e ha’olt of thrift which is being en«ottra«ed by the government, and m any organizations, w ill be a ̂ ibig aid to prosperity during the coming m onths.

Peter Gaudreau, C7, watchman at the plant of The Texas Steamship Co., and for 17 years a member of the Bath police force, died suddenly Sunday noon at his home, o7 Spring street. He wa'o about town Saturday apparently iu h is usual good health but during the night was stricken with an ill turn which was followed by another early Sunday morning from which he never rallied, death coming about 11.30.

Mr. Gaudreau was a native of Can­ada, a son of Joseph and Rose Gau­dreau and came to Bath 45 year's ago. He worked for 'several years in local shipyards and then became a mem­ber of the police force and for sever­al years was captain of the night watch and waaf* considered an ef­ficient officer. Upon his retirement from the force in 1905 he entered the Bath iron works where he re­mained for some tim e. Since the ad­vent of The Texas Steamishlp Co., to Bath Mr. Gaudreau had been em­ployed as a watchman. He had a large circle of friends and acquin- tances and was held in highest es­teem by all.

Besides a widow and several brothers and sisters, he leaves three sons, Eugene of Quincy, Mass., Ed­ward of Portland and Joseph Gaud­reau at home, also one daughter, Mrs. L. O. Perry of Bath.
