TENSE EXCITEMENT
GOT NO FLURRY IN'
FRENCH ASSAULTS
French Front—(Correspondence of
The Associated Pres*) —Tense excite
ment but no flurry reigns along any
sector of the French front just before,
an assault is to be delivered. The men
stand to arms eooly as though they
were going on to the parade ground.
They look to the breaches of their
rifles, load their mag&Blnes. loosen
their bayonets in their scabbards, fix
the straps of their steel helmets or
tighten their belts. Some of them sit
down with their backs supported by
the side of the trench writing what
may bo their last messages to their
relatives while waiting for the word
to "go over.” There is no hesitation
When this comes. The men, with
every confidence in their leaders, all
their nerves and muscles taut, clamb

recent offensive have always achieved
the objective set them by their com
manders.
The Associated Press Correspond

midst of one of these movements of
preparation at a certain point of the
French line somewhere south of the

fensive was pushing forward with
great vigor.
In the sector visited by the Assoc

German first line trenches are sep
arated by a distance of from 200 to
•100 yards. In between are wide barb

night-time after the French had
driven the Germans from a village
and a wood by surprise With modern
the covering of such a distance across
open ground by attacking infantry
would mean a terrible casualty list.

Up these the companies chosen for
the assnult were to spring on the
signal for the departure and spread
out in open formation, dashing for
ward in sections toward the German
works, previously almost battered out
of existence by the French artillery.
The sector was not all "healthy ’”
when the correepondtnes visited It.
German aeroplanes cruised about
overhead evidently scenting that
something was about to take place
Their activities were not to the lik

of artillery and machine gun fire, ob

the scene of these aerial Intruders.

it* effect on the French troops was
almost nil.
The French Oeneral commanding
the division, who Imd been promoted

Many People Were
Interested in the
Post Office Booth
The booth at the Heorgia-Carolina
Fair of the post office department was
the cause of much favorable comment.
A great number of people paused in
the main building to lok it over, and
many learned for the first time of the
various uses to which the parcel post
industry applies.
The exhibit was in charge of Mr. C.
W. Hammond, who explained to every
one interested the rates, the manner of
mailing, and the weight of packages
that may be mailed by parcel post.
There was a box at the booth for the
mailing of letters, and postage stamps
were sold, which proved quite a wel
come feature to the fair visitors.
A gentleman who is connected with
one of the largest southern farm pub
lications. wrote a letter to the local
post office highly commending the ex
hibit. and spoke of the good that would
result from the farmers getting famil
iarized with the uses of parcel post.
The booth was quite attractive, and
was one of the most interesting fea
tures in the main building.
