Paris Nov. 28. The following official statement was issued to-'

"In Belgium artillery exchanges continued November 27th with-
out particular incident. The heavy German artillery is much less ac-
tive. There was but one infantry attack south of the Ypres which
we successfully repulsed. Toward evening our artillery brought down
a German biplane carrying three aviators. One of the aviators was
killed and the other two were made prisoners. The situation in Ar-
ras and further south remains unchanged. Tn Champaigne our heavy
artillery inflicted serious losses on the enemy's artillery."
"The infantry attack made by the enemy yesterday evening was
a vicious rush and came rather unexpectedly. Our troops met the
onslaught with fixed bayonets and after a sharp conflict lasting le;.
than an hour the German were driven back at the jxihit of the bayo-
net and left many dead and wounded on the field. We took several
hundred prisoners."

CLUBS TO WORK
Special to Daily Leader.
1'onca City Okla. Nov. 28.
Charles McDonald the nine year old
son of Alva McDonald heard his
father road to his grandmother a lew
nights ago about the starving condi
tions among the Belgian women and
children and next morning the little
fellow confided to his grandma his
plan of sending an ear of corn to food
some starving little boy over in that
vortex of tragediest and asked her
to help him get other little boys in
Oklahoma to send an ear of corn to
augment his mite.
And little Charley McDonald has
started something.
Already the suggestion or tins little
boy has been taken up and the word
is being sent to the boys' corn clubs
to the girls' clubs to the women's
oil bs to help gather together the con
tributions from the little folks over
Oklahoma to be ground by the mijls
into meal to send to Belgium.
Charles McDonald's grandma Mrs.
W. R. McDonald is one of the best
charity workers in the state having
devoted more time and effort to the
relief of the sufferings of others than
almost any woman in Oklahoma.
Chn:ley hnd heard his grandparents
lell about iheir oaly exponoiue with
the relief f the starving in Ireland
'P;ririf tho groat famine theret and
he had hoard them sing pans of that
song which was hoard in every
theater in America three quarters oi
a century ago. A starving Irish lad
sang:
"(Jive me throe grains of com mother
Only three grains of corn.
Twill keep the little life I hav
'Till the coming of the morn."
As the hungry mother had been try-
ing to Induce her starving boy to go
to sleep and when he wose in the
morning she would have some corn
for him she knowing that if ho
would but sleep then his earthly
troubles would forever be at an end.
Mrs. McDonald hopes that the al-
ready well organized Illgian relict
forces over Oklahoma will assist the
little folks over the state in gather-
ing their store ol corn 3nd shipping
it with other contributions for the
starving women and children in that
war straught little kinirdom. She
also declares that such an incident
just at this time will leave a most
