 The British casualties are described as light while German dead covered the ground. Reports today indicate that the depth of the penetration in the region of Cambria has exceeded five miles, and that at one point at feast, the troops swept five miles be- yond the German lines, capturing ad- dlt1onal villages. The drive was un- der the direct command of General Sir Julian Hedworth. George Ewing, and Gen. John J. Pershing, command er-in-chief of the American forces, was an interested observer of it.
 Italians Hold Firm.
 Meanwhile the Italians, everywhere, are holding the Teutonic invaders along the Piave river, and in the hilly region from the upper reaches of the stream to Lake Gorda. Nowhere has the enemy been able to gain addition al ground.
 On the contrary violent attacks in the hill country have been repulsed with heavy casualties. Probably ow- ing to previous intellectual efforts to dlslodge the defenders, the enemy has not renewed his attack against Monte Tomba. and Monte Monsenerai, the vi tai points barring the way to the in vaslon of the Venetian plains from the north.
 On the coastal front Italian and British warships are bombarding en- emy positions

TAX CERTIFICATES DO NOT
TRANSFER TITLE UNTIL THREE
YEARS AFTER BEING RECORDED.

A new law makes the period of re-
demption for property sold for taxes
run from the time the tax sale certi-
ficate is recorded. AS it has not been
the practice for a number of years to
record tax sale certificates for prop
erty bid in by the county, persons who
buy tax sale certificates must have
them recorded and then wait three
years before obtaining a tax deed.-All
sales for taxes of 1911 and subsequent
years come under this category For
merly it was possible to find property
bid in by the county upon which the
period of redemption had expired,
take up the certificate and obtain a
tax deed at once, but this practice
even on property formerly subject to
such proceedings has now been aban-
doned pending the decision of suit
which has been Instituted to test the
legality of reckoning the period of re-
demption from the date of sale and
certification to the county.

about 1856 men and no reflections have
30 far been reported. 1t is unlikely
That all Of the men sent have been eN-
lmined as yet although some of those

ceived by individuals Reports in the

,eived by individuals Reports in the
eastern press indicate reflections by
the army physicians ranging from 1
per cent to 30 per cent.

no claim for exemption ON the first
call of i5S and most of those whe dill
not claim exemption in the second call
Of 500 AS well as a large percentage
of those who were passed by the local
and district boards from the first call
From the second call of 500 a total
Of 10i were certified to the district
board as fit for service This is all
that can be expected from that call
unless some men who failed to receive
their notice should turn up later. Tbs
number includes all who claimed no
exemption as well as those who enter
claim for exemption which was de-
MED.
The totals show that 260 men were
examined and Ga aliens were passed
without examination. Forty-Gve pass
cd and claimed no exemption. 100
passed and claimed exemption, 40
were declared physically unfit. Judg-
ing by past results this indicates in
the neighborhood of a hundred men
available for the training camp.
1t seems possible that all the men
registered will be called for examina-
tion at this time and their status fixed
so they can be called when needed and
no delay occasionod. No orders to this
effect have been received by the local
board but the receipt Of orders to this
effect would cause no surprise to the
board members.

Bear Grass Wanted
By Manufacturers

According to a letter placed in the
hands Of the Western Liberal by
Postmaster Hardin, there is a great
demand for bear grass, or Yucca plant
sometimes called soap weed. The let
ter was written by the purchasing
agent of the American Manufacturing
company of st. Louis, Mo-, manufac-
turers of rope and twines, the agent
being located at Portales, N. M.
According to the agent he has a
good proposition for a merchant or
banker or private individuals to ship
in car load lots under contract.
In this section of the southwest the
Yucca plant thrives in almost every
vicinity and it is quite possible that
the shipment Of many carloads a year
could be made from Lordsburg alone.
The Western Liberal would be glad
to supply additional information and
address of the purchaser to any who
are interested

WILL SUSPEND 1917
ASSESSMENT WORK.

All assessments on mining claims,
save that on oil and non on-metalliferous
mineral claims, will be suspended for
this year, if the joint resolution No.
78, which passed the house recently
passes the senate. 1t is almost GER
tain that the senate will act as did the
house.
A number. of letters have been re-
ceived in Arizona from Congressman
Carl Hayden which read as follows
"In compliance with my promise
beg to advise you that the house has
today passed senate joint resolution
No. 78 amended so as TO suspend the
Requirement of annual assessment
work on mining claims, except loca-
tions for oil and non-metalliferous
minerals, during the present year
The senate will undoubtedly accept
the house amendments so that the
owners of metalliferous mining claims
need now have no fear that they will
be compelled to do their assessment
work for 1917"

BELIEVES ACTION SHOULD
BE TO SAVE HIDES

A prominent visitor in Lordsburg
last week called the attention of the
Western Liberal to the fact that there
are hundreds of hides going to waste
on the plains and around hog-holes in
this section. AS there is an especial
conservation on in saving hides in
these times of war he believes that
some action should be taken by the
Cattle Sanitary Board or the state Of
ficials in having the hides of animals
which have died on the range haved.
OF course this would have to be done
under the supervision of Cattle Sani-
tary Board officials or some person
designated for the position. 1t is a
matter worthy of attention at this
time when special stress is being laid
en- the conservation of all commodi-
ties.
