Of Doual they must keep on going
away"
Except for this Crest Of Vimy,
which is a freakish formation Of hills
rising from the valley at the eN-
treme eastern side, the plateau OF
Artois may be compared in shape to
the fingers of human hand with the
knuckles slightly raised and the fin
gers slightly apart and sloping to
the valley before the Vimy Heights.
It Is a vast succession Of hill
ranges and valleys running horizon
tally toward Vimy, cut in some places
By transverse valleys, such as the
one at the foot Of which the famous
Notre Dame de Lorette and the Vote
Blanche once existed. It is a bleak.
barren country of chalk and sticky
clay formation, in many ways resem-
bling the barren steppes of Cham
pagne. It would have been an ideal
place for the frontier Of a new Ger
many, had the German army been as
invincible as Germany believed it.
A year ago a German army occu-
pied all that giant plateau. Nine
months ago, when the fields were
white with snow. I saw how the
frivolous French" had dug, tunnel
led, mined, and exploded it yard by
yard, house by house out Of its
float a two hundred million dollar
stronghold ct the north-Fermelles
saw tho preparations for the
French advance down the valleys on
either side of Carency and other
points, until these places were sur
rounded and the Germans were COM
PEELED to surrender. Six months ago.
when the meadows were high with
grass and flowers, I saw the same
methods employed several kilometers
nearer.
Finally I saw the same trench
lines surrounding Ablain. saw
from the hillside the explosion OF
mines In Neuville, which was thec
connected with the German reserve
lines by long tunnels. I saw the
French heavy guns finding these tun-
nels by continuous tap-tap-tapping
on every foot Of ground behind the
town, perforating it like the contin-
uation Of pin-holes in a sheet Of
paper, until finally the tunnels were
demolished and the entire country
hooked as If the heavy hand of an
svenging god has descended upon 1t.
Two days ago, in the mud, fog,
and rain Of approaching winter,
In addition to witnessing the pam
Drama Of artillery explosions on
the crest of Vimy. I heard the
same tap-tap-tapping Of artillery
over Givenchy, and beyond Arras ]

w. b. Ford Speaks of the Effect
War is Having on Tobacco Prices

w. B. Ford, president of the
Upper Cumberland Loose Leaf
Tobacco Warehouse Company,
attended the sale of tobacco on a
loose leaf floor in Nashville last
week and reports prices dull ex-
cept on good grade tobacco. In
speaking of the present tobacco
situation, President Ford has the
following to say: There seems
to be nothing except wheat and
wheat products the war has not
reached, and the common grade
of tobacco is getting a hard lick.
This tobacco. together with
the long tobacco. are termed ex-
port tobacco, and the fact that
freight rates to foreign countries
are almost prohibitive. puts the
owners of this class of tobacco
beyond the reach of any market.
Spectators are buying and hold
ing, hoping for the situation to
change in time for them to make
some money. This. however, il
more of a gambling proposition
than business. Our Tugs must
all 90 to foreign countries which
places them out of any market.
We may see a change in the near
future. but there is nothing in
sight upon which to base a hope.
To sum up the whole matter, our
