GERMANS FALLING BACK
Advance Rapid on Both Banks Of
Somme, British Going Through
Sixteen Mile Front and French
Advancing Four Miles.

London.-The British and French
troops are sweeping forward in the
Somme and Disc sectors in France,
and the German retreat, which at
first was slow and on narrow fronts,
seems to be gaining momentum.
The latest advance by the British
was made over a front of sixteen
miles and by the French along front
Of about fiften miles, and the entente
allies have penetrated German posi-
tions in this new operation to depth
OF from two to four miles.
Bapaume, for many months de-
scribed as a German stronghold, now
is in the hands of the British troops,
having been wrested from the Ger
mans after what the British war office
describes as stiff fighting. 1t is mass
OF ruins.
From Bapaume the fortified lines
newly acquired by the British extend
to the western outskirts of Monchy-
au-Bois. From south of Peronne, the
British have drawn new line as far
as Fresnes. In all, they have taken
possession of fourteen villages in their
new advance.
The French have taken up a new
line between Andechy and the Disc
and have occupied the important town
of Roye, where they were enthusias-
tically greeted by the remaining civil
population, whom the Germans left
behind in their withdrawal and have
reached certain points along the ia
nous Roye-Noyon road.
In the early operations, one by one,
small Villages were evacuated by the
Germans, whose withdrawal was slow
~ and watchfully followed by the Brit
ish, consolidation OF the new positions
and preparations for further for
ward movement being most carefully
made. In the last few days. both the
retreat aud advance respectively have
oeea considerably accelerated.

 The lesson of this call for quick photographers is, first, that newspapers have developed the quickest workers the world. The second lesson is that information from the front to be of value to the commanders must be about half an hour removed, no more, tis valueess They must have that picture taken the sky in 10 minutes to it to ad- vantage.
 Think what this to the commanders They must act almost on the instant and the men in the ranks must respond instantly. Seconds mean life death great conflict and it is getting to be literally that he who hestates is lost.
 If all this concern of energy and efficiency be continued in the handling of public matters after the is over the will have served some very definite purpose in addition teaching the Junkcrs of Germany that they cannot rule the world by quest.

A Crumb of Comfort

Chester Rowell. editor of the Fresno Republican and of the exceptionally keen thinkers of this country finds editorial comfort in the fact that the military training for the young of the nation, such training they getting in the new National unscathed from the scene of conflict. Here is the way this thinker regards the situation
 Just size up the boys in khaki writes MT. Powell, when they come back home leave and you realize statistical fact that the will add five years their average chance of life. Every of those boys has those five years, or more now vsiby engrafted in his frame. From the tan of his skin and the brawn of his muscles the self control and self respect of his soul he is already wound up for a longer run than life would otherwise have given him. And his training is not quarter done yet for his benefit, but for the wars; of the food he will not get in the trenches and of the sleep and shelter he will not get, will be hardshps and be endured rather than experiences profted by Some of the surplus brawn he is accommodating is reserved to meet that strain. And there will be more danger of being blown up by shell in the army than there is of being blown up by boiler by automobile But is not safe from those things, anywhere. We killed thou and factories and will kill more thousands next year, to the Life is hazardous occupation, anywhere, and of finally survive it's risks. But the khaki boy has a hundred risks less of dying of disease than his grandfather in the Civil war, and two three times less than he would have at home"

DolIar-a-Year Man

Arizona has contributed more than it's quota of men with big jobs who are going itno the national service for nominal or less than nominal remuner- aton It is their way, and most effective way, of showing patriotism
 Standing with the food administrator of the food experts in the country who commanding in days of peace, salaries which fortunes to the average Many of these giving days and months and, perhaps, years of their time for nothing It may be absolute donation time, for compensation is quired to give them official standing and these men are working their country for a wage often low a dollar a year.

SCRIPTURE
EccIeeiastes 7;:1-10,

A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of ones birth.
 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting; fer that is the end of all men: and the living will lay it to his heart
 Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
 The healt of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
 For as the cracking of thorns under pot, so is the laughter of the fool this also is vanity
 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. and the patient ir spirit is better than the proud in spirit Be not nasty in thy spirit to be an- gry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than

War Is Scientific

Those of us who recall the days of the old "wet plate photographic process, when sat still for d minute under the full glare of brights light, in order to get photograph took will thrill at the most recent announcement the government. It is now after newspaper photographers, the who have learned to do things quickly All that the government requires is ability to printed photograph within 10 minutes of the time the exposed negative is handed to said photographer by the man from aloft who has been snap shooting the enemy lines That is the photographer must develop the plate and make print in 10 minutes, process which 25 years ago took about half day, the in that happy period being used to print the pictures by.

COURT REFUSES NEW TRIAL FUR
 K0RR|CK CASE

Judge Stanford yesterday denied the motion for a new trial of the case or the state versus Charles Korrick. He also denied continuance for passing of sentence until Monday. and imposed $500 fine which the county attorney said he would not seek to enforce in view of the fact that MT. Korrick's at torneys immediately gave notice Of ap- peal.
 The court room held the usual large number of labor leaders who have been vitally interested in the prosecution of the officer of the Merchants and | Manufacturers association. Following the many points raised for new trial, brought out by George Purdy Builard | and Judge Finest W. Lewis, and the answer by the colnty's representative, | L. Nj. Laney, the court stated that he ] had the case well in hand and felt that it had been fairly tried
 "I see nothing alarming in the argu- ment for new trial said Judge Stan tord who declared that if 1t were granted in this instance every other de- l fendant would demand the same right.
 That the evidence was of doubtful character was claimed by the counsel l for the defendant who was found guilty i by jury, of signing his name more | l the womens minimum wage law.
 MT Bullard argued that it had been stipulated that all the exhibits go to the jury and they did not. It was also stipulated that the instructions go to l the jury and they did not; a comparl- son of the bank clerks handwriting and 1 the signatures in question were also to lhave gone to the jury, contended Mir , Bullard and this also was not carried out. The1e was error, he claimed, in
 making the comparisons of Oterios 1 handwriting and it was not proved that the signature of J. J. Otero III the reg istration book was the signature of J. J. Otero. Additional ground for new | trial was presented in form of an af- 1idavit from Juror Brooks, who, sWore to the fact that he had misunderstood | the courts instructions. According to the mans sworn st>N cement, he had 1 believed that if MT. Korrick had signed the petition twice in the same day that was sufficient for conviction. MT. Bull
 lard said that Brooks had confused a | remark by Laney in his closing argu = ment, with that of the court and had
 failed to take into consideration the
 fact that the second signing had to
 be signed knowingly"
 That was the very l:st of this case,
 said Mir Bullard. It is incredible to
 believe that Charles Korrick signed the
 petition twice knowingly, and there is
 not a scintilla of evidence that he did
 You can sweep this town from one end
 to the other and you can not find a
 man who will believe that he signed ii

HEROES By Andrew Downing

 Not he, alone, hero shines Who takes a soldiers chance, And goes to brace the battlelnes In Belgium or France
  Each man of us may do bit That, possibly shall mean As much as his who scores the hit That sinks a submarine Tis patriotic zeal that counts And constant sacrifice, Not meager gifts nor small amounts These will not pay the price. Let patience rule, and courage fine,- Where apathy has been With team work all along the line, And we shall surely win. Who is disoyal to the flag Let him pro- German be; But ship him in gunny bag Across the rolling sea- The Stacker is his country's foe An ally of the Huns; See that he is the first to go To face the deadly guns When every hand due offering brings Of toll and sacrifice The game will end for ruthless kings Who play with loaded dice That glorious time is coming soon For which all peoples pray worldwide peace, and Freedoms boon And God shall speed the daV
