GERMAN GUNS ARE
 USED ON GERMANS
FRENCH TAKE ENTIRE BATTERY AFTER BLOODY FIGHT-PRlS-
 OVERS LIST GROWING.

French Headquarters in France Some of the most terrific and blood jest fighting in the course of the war enabled the French to increase their bag of prisoners to more than 17,000 on the third day of the battle, while the total of the field and heavy ean- non which they captured reached near ly S0 not counting many others buried in the mud
 Along nearly every point of the long line stretching from St. Quentin far 10 the eastward of Rheims, the French pushed forward and occupied posi- tions from which a further advance was promised. Nothing seemed able to stay them, even though the ele- ments were strongly against them. It showed, hailed or rained from dawn till night, but, feeling that they had the mastery, the French troops cheer fully carried out seemingly impossi- ble tasks, although they were soaked and chilled to the marrow and com pelled to march through the sticky mud with only rare chance to snatch bit of rest in the open.
 The whole battle front is on ground greatly broken with hills and forests, presenting the most formidable ob- stacles to attacking forces and favor ing the defenders. For any one to get perspective of the line beyond an extremely limited distance is an impossibility.
 The fighting here was of a most trying nature, as the French lines for more than two years have been on the edge of a plain commanded by range of low, wooden hills on which the Germans were firmly established. It was out of the question for any body to venture upon the mo mans land" between the lines without receiving a salvo, yet the French have advanced across the intervening space and driven the enemy from some of the opposite slopes.

STAGGERING BLOW
 DEALT 10 GERMANS
FORTY MILES OF STRONGEST PART OF HER LINE WRIST
 ED FROM HER.

Paris.-Germany suffered another crushing blow upon the western front, when 40 miles of the strongest part CT her line skls wrested from her with an estimated loss of nearly 100000 killed, wounded and prisoners. Ali France Lails the victory as brilliant demcnstTation of the skill of her gen erals and the courage of her troops.
 Measured by the amount of terri tory freed, the victory does not com pare with the Somme offensive, which opened a month ago, but viewed from the amount of destruction done to the enemy's armed forces and the damage to his military prestige, it is a far greater success. Here there can be no question either of peryious planned retreat or surprise. The enemy expected an attack and made every precautiop to defeat 1t.
 From Soissons to Craonne the Ger man line runs along a series of hills of an average height of 500 feet. with deep valleys between. The attackers advanced up the valleys under a cross fire from each flank, but the artillery curtain, on a new plan invented by a British general, was so effective that the operation was carried out at a less cost than might be expected.
 The weak point of the German line is from Craonne to Rheims, where the ground is more level. Here the attack made more progress and the danger of a rupture of the line became so imminent that the Germans brought in all available reserves. The re- serves were smashed by the French field artillery, which kept close. on the heels of the waves of infantry. The result of operations is that the great western battle has now joined along a front of close to 150 miles, more than one-third of the mighty line from Switzerland to the sea.
 The tremendous assault on the Ger man lines had long been carefully planned, and for month past French artillery had been pounding the ene- my's position.

A REGRETABLE PROSPECT.

It is not without a distinct feeling of regret that one is forced to realize that the days of the Nome Kougarok railroad are numbered. Although the people of this section have understood for some time that such move was contemplated, the statement of MT. Kellogg, secretary of the Maine North western Development Companq that the road will be dsmantiled loses none of it's force because of previous realization that such action was in prospect.
 Despite the fact that the road has been active for years, its very pres ence, laying aside the question of utili- ty, has served to lend no small amount of encouragement to those who are believers in the future of this section of Alaska and earnestly sought to aid in it's development. Doubtless to the ma ajority of Nomeites and part1-
 
 old road represents nothing at all. Viewed from the superficial stand point, it's presence has little bearing on either the present or the future of this section Two streaks of rust run ming in uneven montony over tundra and hill to some decaaent, unkempt hamlet in the interior; a highway for an occasional dog car or mushcr. That is practically all the road pre- sents to their eyes But to the old timer, those who have lived large portion of thei" ives In this part Of the territory, the ,silroad has rep resented something more. Although bent awry, tw I.ei and be ,Iirs all aspect of forl rr de, adence along al. most every mile of hts length, 1t pre- sented possibilities of more than nom- inal importance.
