With the British Armies
Behind Hindenburg Line,
Nov. 22.-Victorious Britain
today pushed on with her
triumphant smash of the
Hindenburg line.
Tanks, cavalry, infantry-all
were closing steadily around
Cambria. The great war machine
rumbled over the enemy just as
the tanks first crushed the way
through the German lines. The
Tommies now are almost within
grasp of the German depot as this
dispatch is written.
Every hour makes the British victory
more gigantic IN its scope. more
astonishing in its conception and exc
cution.
In some sections of the battle front
the fighting Is now practically in the
open British cavalry has been in ao-
tion. The intricate trench defenses of
the Hindenburg line and its subsidiary
lines have in many cases been stormed.
Literally denrious with joy, 500
civilians repatriated to France by the
British stroke, came back from the
front today. They had been removed
hurriedIy by the Germans and then
abandoned In small town.
From their stories and reports by
capttves it appears that not a German
had knowledge of the attack until the
tanks 1oomed over their heads. Then
they literally blew up in panic. French
civilians just behind the lines describ-
the officers and men as running around
like chickens with their heads cut on

Iron and steel are becoming indispensable to the hu- family The demand is getting greater all the time, and the price is keeping up with the market.
 Practically all the iron mines in the United States that are accessible being worked and the largest for tunes we have in this country have been made from iron and its kindred industries.
 At the present time there is in process of fomatOn company that proposes to establish near Seattle large blast furnaces for the purpose of manufacturing pig iron and steel The ore they propose get from China and AL aska and their coke will come from the Matanuska coal fields By this we see they figure making long haus in order to get the material together to operate furnaces
 Why doesn't Seward reach out for enterprises of this characte? She certainly has advantages the other places on the Pacific coast We have the iron ore at Port Dick and Port Chatham, less than 100 miles haul Gov ernmen reports are favorable on this ore) have the coke 75 miles haul and mountains of lime stone six miles away If Chinese ore had to be procured the haul would be 1000 miles less to Seward than Seattle the northern passage from of those ports to the other travels about 200 miles from Seward and the coke would have to pass our doors going to Seattle.
 Nature has done her share toward naming Resurrec ton bay the central point for all this material to be brought to and manufactured The thiny is to show this natural center to capitalists and there plenty of them looking for investment in manufacturing enter priSeS.
 Think people of Seward, what it would mean to have blast furnaces located here It would mean hsfactories of all kinds would spring up from the making of pocket knives to the building of bateshps and to your question lis this possble?" We say it is.

LANDLADY SLAYS AGED GERMAN N---
 TOOK HER COAL

BERLIN.-Because he tried to steal a few pieces of pressed coal to warm his cold room Carl Picatka, an aged former postal official, was killed by his landlady, Mrs. Marie Bethe. The murdered man was S2 years old and no longer in possession of his full faculties. He complained daily that he was freezing in his unheated room, but the landlady refused the briquets demanded by him, as her own supply of fuel was very limited. Finally the old man decided to help himself. In the middle of the night he went to the cellar to get few pieces of the CO., veted coal. When he tried to return to his room with his booty he was stopped by the landlady, who attacked him with a carving knife.
 The man died within few minutes, but the landlady returned to bed as if nothing had happened. When she was arrested the next day she defended herself with the claim that her act
