THE PUBLIC FORUM
AT THE SOUTH CLARK STREET
STATION.-I wish to state a situa-
ton that exists in the police stations
in Chicago nowadays in spite of all
the protests that American citizens
are making. It's not very long ago
that noticed in your valuable paper
that any man or woman arrested
under the influence of liquor, before
being sent to the house Of correction
should have medical attention if
needed.
So I, being in the same cell with
woman arrested for drinking, know
positively that she was very much in
need of medical attention, and when
1 was being bailed out I entered a
protest and asked the matrOn Of the
South Clark street annex if she for
got that the woman in the cell had
asked for a doctor or medical atten-
ton.
'"This poor soul is in an awful con-
ditiOn," I said, and l am sure you
should get her a doctor or some med
icine." The answer I got was: Mind
your own business. We are not here
to have prisoners such as you come
in here and dictate to us. If you
don't keep your mouth I'll take you
to court in the morning and I'll talk
to the judge and get you $25 fine"
I answered: yes, you might if I
am foolish enough to be tried by
Judge Mahoney." I added: IF you
didn't have this job you wouldn't
have the courage as I have to go on
The picket lines and be arrested"
She said: "Oh, go and get an educa-
ton and you might get job like
have"
Between the intimidation from the
police and the insults of the matrOns
don't think the American citizens
have much chance in Chicago. The
police officers on duty at the Bis

A HOBOS' BRIGADE. - Let us
cut out all this bunk flag waving and
talk about standing by the president.
Henry Ford, the sO-called craven,
was the only busienss man to make
a real Unselfish and patriotic offer.
We all can't do as much as Ford, but
nevertheless we can do our bit, and
that consists of service, not a lot of
bull talk to get your name in the pa
pers.
am asking you to help me to or
ganize hObO's brigade, for I think
our American hobo has the makings
of the finest fighting man in the
world. Besides, a large number Of
hObOs are eX-sOldiers and sailors.
We will enlist brigade of Dos and
all we will ask is that the govern
ment put men with regular army ex-
perience over us, not rookie camp
heroes or petty larceny politicians.
All our captains and lieutenants
are to be regular army sergeants and
our colonies are to be taken from the
line captains of the regular army. We
can use the gyms" in the various
schools to drill in evening and use
some of the high school cadets
rifles.
For our brigadier general I nom
mate "Heu-ROaring Jakey" Smith,
the man who really pacifed the Phil
ippine Islands.
The bOs' brigade will bar profess
sional heroes like ''big-game hunt
ers," etc., who write for the cheap
magazines.
Let the president and congress de-
eide our course. Then let our army
and naval Officeds run their respec-
tive departments and let these big tin
horns keep away.

STORMING OF VIMY RIDGE
 BY GALLANT CANADIANS
(New York Independent)

At halfpast 5 o'clock on Monday morn ing, April 9, the Canadians rose from the trenches which they had occupied tor more than a year at the foot of Vlmy ridge ana charged up the slope against the iaoyrlnth of intrenchments that crowned the hllltops. In September, 1915, the British had made an equally gallant attempt to capture rom the Loos side the heights behind which Lens is hid. while the French attacked the Vlmy ridge. but through bad management o1 the higher command and the failure of ammu- milton at the critical moment they were driven back with frightful losses from the trenches they had gained. But this tune there were no such blunders as lost the hattie of Ioos. The new British army has mastered the new art of war. The artillery had prepared path for the attack by clear, ng away the barbed wire entanglements and smashing in the concrete calssons. The held had been accurately mapped from the bird S eve views of the British alrmen. The cur tain of fire was lifted just at the right tune AS the troops advanced, so there was no delay and no shooting of comrades as had happened before in this field. The steel clad tanks numbered out from Arras on ra- diating lines, pushed through barbed wire barrie ades, scrambled over trenches and craters, and wandered through village streets needless of shrapnel and rifle ball.
 The trenches were held by Bavarlans, with Prussians kept in reserve. But the British guns had placed curtain ot hre behind the front lines so when the Ba- yarians sent up their green rockets as sig nals of distress no help could come to them from the rear. When the Canadians reached them they surrendered with unprecedented 4ocility and begged first for their lives and next fer bread, for some of them had been without food supplies for days. At the end f the first day the Canadians had cap tured three lines of intrenchments and three thousand prisoners. Before the week was over they had some fifteen thousand prison. CTS, two hundred guns and large stores of ammunition Among the guns were elght of the eight-lnch howitzers and twenty eight of the 59-inch howitzers Besides these 250 machine guns were taken. Many of the guns were in working order and the shells stacked beside them were at once used against the retiring Germans.
 As soon as Vimy ridge was taken the British troops could overlook the city of Lens and the coal fields and factories that lie roundabout. By the following Sunday Lens was reached and the enemy cleared out of a semi-cir east of Arras to dis tance of five to seven miles. The Germans have fallen back to what they call the "Wotan line" which runs north and south about eight miles east of Arras The sec ton extending from this to St. Quentin IS called the "Siegfried line" and the southern section, extending down to the Aisne, Is called the "Albrecht line" The three sec tions together constitute what the British call the "Hindenberg line"
