What Remains To Be Ressined

There remains between the British and
the possession Of the whole ridge from
Broodseinde down to Messines, a mile
ahead Of them, only the third system ~
German trenches on the sector from the
Menn road to the Roulers-Ypres railway
just north of Zonnebeke; and this system,
too, represents all Of the ground lost hv
the British in the first two battles n
Ypres which has not yet been recovered.
On the British staff map this German sys-
tenn is indicated by many trenches and
redoubts, which follow the western slope
of the ridge, just below the crest, from
| Broodseinde, just east OF Ionnebeke.
through Reutel, west of Becelaere to New
Kruiseecke, east of Gheluvelt on the Menin
! road. Zonnebeke and Gheluvelt are
fortified bastions in advance of this sys-
tenn, which must be captured before the
main position is attained and conquered.
So also is the famous Polygon Wood, the
western edge of which has already becn
PASSED by the British advance.

thing like four weeks more of fighting
weather; the First Battle of Ypres lasted
| rather longer, up to the middle of Novem-
her, in fact, but its main effort was ended
by the first day of November, and only the
sensational charge of the Prussian Guard
along the Menin road from Gheluvelt sup
piled really important detail in the fight
ing after November began. The problem
that remains then is whether i'm the month
Of fighting weather that may reasonably

to get over the crest Of the ridge from
Broodseinde to the Menin road, front
of perhaps five miles. If they do, then
the spring will see the British holding all
the important high ground in the sally
port between Langemarck and the Lys,
save perhaps the tip of the ridge about
Passchendaelc. In the same fashion, BY
the coming of spring, this year, the British
held all of the summit of the Bapaume
Ridge, and were in position TO push on
into that town and break the southern end.
or reentrant, of the Bapaume salient, had
the Germans chosen to stay. A German
retreat from the Flanders front upon
Courtrai and Roulers might easily follow
British success this fall, as it did in the
Rapaume sector this spring.

Tn. One Ssliy.Port

An offensive. therefore, which had as its
main strategic purpose to move down the
Tvs Valley aud thus turn the Germans
out Of their position along the Belgian
coa,, from the User to the Dutch frontier
would necessarily have to pass through
this sslly-port between Warneton and
Iangemarck. It's advance would be from
west TO east and, progressing thus, 1t would
cross one after another of the railroads
and highways, themselves running north
and south, which are the main lines OF
German communication. More than tnls'
such an advance would push wedge into
the whole German front in Flanders, quite
analogous to the wedge driven into the
German lines along the Somme IN the
great battle of last year.
Thus, long before the Allies moving
down the valley of the Lys arrived AT
Client. the Germans would have to with
draw out Of the whole Of coastal Flanders,
rs they had to draw out of the great
Noyon salient this spring, while the
Trench and British were still outside OF
p6ronne and Bapaume. Moreover, just as
Bapaume and Peronne were the immediate
electives of the Somme push" Rouiers
and Menin are the immediate goals OF the
present drive. Once the British are at
Menin and at Roulers, the Germans to the
north and south, along the coast from
Ostend to Zeebrugge and in the ever deep
x,.Nll in "a
dangerous position, although their fronts
remain mistaken on either side of the
entering wedge.

An Historic Ridge


So much for the larger strategy. Now
ior the immediate geographical circum-
stances. East Of Ypres rather less than
two miles rises low ridge. 1t runs IN
general direction from northeast to south
west. and its southern extremity is just
due south of Ypres. II is not more than
hundred feet above the surrounding
country and the rise is so gradual that 1t
Goes not suggest real height at any point.
This ridge carries number of villages
familiar to all readers Of the war news OF
the past three years. These are Messines.
Wvtschaete. Hollebeke, Zandevorde, Che
.uvelt, Zonnebeke and Broodseinde. North
of Broodseinde it narrows very rapidly to
a point at the also familiar village Of Pas
Schendaele.
Actually this ridge Is tho watershed be-
tween the User and the Lys. Down Its
gently sloping western TANKS flow num-
Der of little streams which enter the User,
RAPIDLY dropping to the great marsh TO
the west of Ypres. Eastward from the
ridge flow other little brooks, which enter
The Lys. They are much shorter than the
streams Of the west, but on neither side
sre the watercourses more than mere
brooks, obstacles to military operations
only in the wet season, which, however, is
Iretty constant in this unhappy region.
In 1914, when the British first came to
the Ypres district, they were advancing
toward the north and east and along two
main hghways--that which goes from
Ypres to Menin, the famous Menin road,
and the Ypres-Roulers road, which
passes just southeast of Langemarck.
But their main push was along the Menin
road, ond when they were brought to a
Gead hnlt by the new German drive for
Calais they stood along the ridge. from
Broodseinde right down TO Messines, hold
: ing all the little villages along the crest
Which I have mentioned. From Brood

Biz Money in Raising Dur0c
 Jersey Hogs.

w. H. Norwood, an ARGUS reader on Route 1, reports hand some profits from two Duroc Jerseys. He purchased two gllts last fall for $21 and from these has since sold S90 worth of pigs. Each will soon bring another litter of pigs, and at the above rate his profits from these two gilts will be something like S90 each in a year. MT. Norwood said that these hogs had cost him comparatively little in the way of feed. being raised almost entirely on slops and other waste from the place.
 He says he finds another splen- did source of profit to be goat raising, which costs very little and which yields fine income.
 What MT. Norwood is doing on a limited scale affords an ex- ample which might we'll be emulated by all farmers and gives some idea of what might be accomplished along this line in Monroe county if given more attention.

COAL GAS RUNS AUTO.

The unprecedented war demand for
gasoline is stimulating the search fo-
substitutes. The latest fuel to be used

winter has been altogether unsuitable
for the setting and spreading of the

RURAL DELIVERY.

Do you know what r. d. means
Then write it R. d. No. /, or whatever
your number may be. Perhaps some
will say the legal letters are r. F. D.,
but the F. is useless and a misnomer
The city mans mail is delivered at
his door-much mail, several times a
day-and with no F. on it, although he
belongs to one class that receives free
delivery.
On the contrary, if there is one class
OF citizens whose property lies out of
doors, fully spread out before the
eyes of the assessor, it is the farmer;
and, whether he pays directly in pur-
chased or Cancelled stamps for the full
cost OF rural delivery, it is in no sense
free, and should not be so desig
mated.
r. r. means railroad, and r. means
nothing; F. means free, and we live
the word in the Land of the Free-in
a free country, but not in so-calle1
free delivery to the self-respecting, tax
paying rural citizens.
The word rural tells where to go;
delivery, what to do; and that is suffi-
cient, but not too much, direction.
Write it r. d., and ask others to join
in making it the standard form.

was further smashed by the broken
propeller blade and became uncon-
trollable.
Realizing the situation, the observer
did not hesitate, but climbed out three
quarters Of the way on the right wing
tip in order to balance the machine.
The air craft continued to fall In
spirals, however, until it was about
1000 feet above the earth. Here the
observer succeeded in balancing it, and
the machine glided down evenly. When
about 200 feet from the earth a slight
movement by the man on the wing
caused the machine to spin again, but
the pilot was able to control it when
just ten feet above the ground, and the
air craft landed with neither man in
