FAIRBANKS.-On complaint sworn to by x. R. King, G. Hinton Henry. editor of the Free Press, was arrested and brought before Commis- sioner Reed Heilig yesterday after noon, charged with libel. Nir Henry pleaded not guilty and was released on lis own recognizance to appca" again tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at

 ubscribers of the paper have beer missing their copies, and the libel ,harge grew out of statement which appeared in an issue of the Free Press which bears the date of De ,cmber 20.

King md some others will be watched from now on."-Citizen.

He reiterated his often voiced

were taken in the first rush, and
then came the work of CONSOLE
dating positions.
Several hundred prisoners had
been taken up to an early hour
today, and more were pouring
back from the fighting zone.
The Usual Hush.
The attack which swept the Ca
nadians forward until they held
the last positions dominating the
approaches to Lens was a typical
British push.
There was the usual hush be-
fore the battle. After the night
of artillery engagements. a death
like silence fell. Then came the
drumfire, the roar of guns, the
screeching OF shells and the flare
of rockets behind the German
lines, in rapid signaling.
The sun was just rising, streak
ing the sky with a wondrous tint.
The British barrage was under
way. A curtain of steel was fall
ing between the Canadian
trenches and the enemy.
Then-Oyer.
Then the Canadians went over
their parapets. They followed
their curtain of steel and flame
across the open ground.
German rockets, carrying their
sos signals, began bursting
more riotously. But from the
first everything went well with
the British.
Their bombing, their bayonet-
ing and other work complete,
they looked down upon Lens,
complete masters of its gateways.
Occupation of Lens will open
great coal deposits to the French.
The immediate value of the
mines, however, will depend on
the extent of damage done to
them by the Germans.
Evacuation of the city by the
Germans will come, probably, only
in case of extreme neccssity--such
as complete domination of the
town by the British would sug-
gest.
Resume Another Attack.
At the same time British and
French forces resumed their at
tack of Bixschoote, while the
French made considerable adj
vance west of Dixmude. East of
Cite st. Emile a strong German
attack was thrown against the
British but was completely crush
ed.
The victorious assault of the
Canadians today brings the fall
of Lens appreciably nearer. For
the last week the Canadians have
been closing in on Lens yard by
yard. The city is now surround
ed by the British on three sides.
They were within striking dis
lance of the main part of the town
before today's attack.
