BITTER FIGHTING
ON GERMAN FRONT
FALL OF vAUNTED HiNDENBURG
LINE Is PREDICTED WITHIN
NEXT FEW DAYS.
RESISTANCE is STUBBORN
French RepuIse German Attack In
Champagne-Hand- Fight
ing Between Teutons and the
French-ArtiIlery Active.

London.-In fighting that for inten.
sity and desperation equaled any Of
the conflicts of two and half years OF
the British war British forces appar-
emily have turned the first of Ger
many's great defense lines of the IA
nous "Hindenburg front" Part Of
Oppy, pivotal point of this defense Sec
tor, is in British hands. The town
lies six miles northeast Of Arras. All
of Arleux, a mile further north Of
Oppy, has been taken. Both cities are
supposed to constitute the northern
most points of the "Wotan line" run
ming southwark down through Ham
bin, Eterpigny, L'Esperance to Prom
Vile.
Haig's resumption of a grand often
sive movement was almost unexpect-
ed by military experts here. 1t had
been estimated he would drive stead
lily against the Germans at various
points, keeping them busy all along
the line, the French forces which
achieved such brilliant gains last week
would be freed from any violent Ger
man counter attacks and have leisure
in which to consolidate the newly won
ground.
The British offensive was on tre-
mendous scale The blow was struck
over a front of several miles width.
Moreover, it was delivered to the &C.
compartment of concentrated artillery
drumfire that dispatches indicated had
sprayed death along almost the entire
British front of 40-odd miles. 1t was q
titanic drive at the very spot where
earlier dispatches had indicated q
seeming deadlock between vast forces
on both sides.
Under this CALLING fire the attack
utterly broke down. In some places
there was ferocious hand-to-hand fight
ing. The British got in well with the
bayonet, but there was one bit OF
fighting in which even bayonets were
forgotten and the men went at each
others throats and eyes. Many Ger
mans went to their death from blows
from rife butts.
At times the fighting was wholly OBJ
scured by great clouds of dust, the
muddy battlefelds of 10 days ago
having entirely disappeared. The
dust raised by the barrage fire resem-
bled an approaching storm. IShrapnel
bullets were pelting the dry earth like
so many leadaa drops Of rain, and
great mountains of dust seemed to
spring from the earth everywhere.
The attack extended in easterly d.
rection from Vimy ridge at its north
ern hinge and ran southwark to the
Scarpe. Progress was made every
where and the so-called Oppy-Meri-
court line, which protects the Drou-
court switch to the Hindenburg line,
was pierced again.
The Canadians, who had been more
or less resting since they swept the
Germans off both slopes of Vimy ridge.
made a brilliant assault against Ar
leux-en Gohelle and captured that vii
lage and held it against all counter at
tacks. The British also crossed the
German lines just west of Oppy

Whole Truth of Buddhism.

Dorm Zenshi, great Buddhist
priest, once lived on top of tree in
mountain; so people nicknamed him
''owl priest" Someone interrupted
his meditations one day with the fol-
lowing question:
"What, in a nutshell, is the truth of
Buddha's religiOn?"
"Eschew all sins and practice all
virtues" replied the priest without
opening his eyes.
ooh, is that all?" said the man sar-
castically. "Eyen a child Of three years

"Yes, even child of three years can

BIG EXPOSITION
DATE IS DEFERRED
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DECIDES
TO POSTPONE DATE OF BIG
CENTENNIAL.
PROBABLY BE HELD IN 1919
Building Will Be Enclosed and the
Grounds Perfected In Anticipation
of Holding Peace Jubilee With
the Centennial.

Jacksonville Mississippi centen-
NAL exposition, scheduled to open at
Gulfport Dec. 10, will be postponed
for about Is months. by which time
the commissioners hope to jointly cele-
brate the states one hundredth birth
day and world peace jubilee.
A decision to this effect was reach
cd by the executive committee in ses.
sion at Gulfport and adopted by the
centennial commission.
The question of postpo::ement has
been under consideration ever since
the issuance of President Wilson's
address on practical preparedness,
containing clause suggesting the
postponement or setting aside IF cele-
brations while the nation is preparing
for war, ard it was chiefly because
of this suggestion that the executive
committee reached it's decision. A can
vas made among the other commits
sioners shows that they are practical
ly unanimous Cor postponement.
Details for continuing the work of
preparation during the next two years
were arranged for by the commission.
1t is understood that Director-General
H. E. Blakeslee, who resigned the
commissionership of agriculture to
take up the work Of planning the
states birthday celebration, has vol
UNFAIRLY offered to cancel his own
salary for one year.
The work of erecting the exposition
buildings is making steady progress,
nearly all contracting firms being 80
days ahead of their contracts. 1t is
probable that building operations will
continue until all exterior work is
completed and the various structures
under roof, and the force of landscape
gardeners will continue their activi-
ties and transform the exposition
grounds into a bower of beauty prior
to the new opening date, which will
probably be fixed for Feb. %, 1919.

WANTS MANY RECRUITS.
Mississippi Quota Lacks Several Hun

Mississippi Quota Lacks Several Hun
dred To Fill.
Jackson. - Mississippis recruiting
since the state of war with Germany
was declared is far from making q
record over which to boast. Includ-
ing the national guard, which could
be used for making up the deficit in
the regular army and the recruits ac-
copied for the u. s. army in the state
last week, Mississippi is still short
over 1000 men for her quota to the
government.
In. the navy an emergency call is
sued the latter part of March for 500
men has not been filled although the
time was extended to May 5. At pres.
ent 500 are lacking in the states quota
for the first line of defense.
And this is the state of affairs that
exists in Mississippi on the day that
the selective CONSUMPTION bill is being
considered in the house at Washing
ton.
The navy fell short OF its previous
high record in recruiting last week,
accepting 73 men. The record OF the
week before was ITO.

Soldiers Become Gardeners.

The spring gardening fever has
struck Camp Jackson.
It's an odd place to find a garden,
but go out to the home of the First
Mississippi regiment in Livingston
park and you will find that the lads
in khaki are also soldiers of the soil.
Three companies, after first secur-
ing permission from Col. Hoskins,
have planted gardens, and other regi-
mental units are planning to do so.
Spots were chosen on the edges oil
the park, the ground broken, and
seeds placed in the ground. Fortu-
nately the soldier boys have plenty of
animal labor, the regimental equip
ment consisting of nearly 100 horses
and mules, and only few of these
are in daily use for camp duty
OF the $50 men now in camp, prob
ably two-thirds of the number know
how to drive mule and handle plow.
The garden spots are necessarily
small, but their owners point to them
with much pride, and they all expect
to raise bountiful crops.

Federal Road Funds Ready.

Governor Bilbo Is in receipt of let.
ter from G. F. Marvin, acting secre
tary of the department of agriculture,
bringing assurance that the funds ap-
portioned to Mississippi under the fed
eral aid road act are now available
"as soon as number of counties have
provided funds sufficient to equal the
available federal appropriations, and
have entered into the necessary agree
ments with the state highway commits
sion authorizing 1t to act for them in
dealing with the department and SUI
pervise the actual construction OF
roads built with federal aid"
Under this act the state of Missis-
sippi gets $4,000 for three years, or
'seS7 900 for the first three years.
"The money ISL according to the
letter from the acting secretary, avail
able right now" says Governor Bilbo,
for the reason that sufficient num-
Der of counties in Mississippi have al
ready complied with the requirements
mentioned in his letter. The first $780,
OO0 was due last year, so that this
year Mississippi is to get twice that
sum, or $17S,000, and next year anoth-
er $4,000 This will help out might
lily, and give fresh impetus to good
road work all over the state"
