DUBUQUE BELONGS TO c. A.
Farrell Rules Former Three.i City
Now Central Association Territory.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Auburn. y. Y. carried the information
that the territory of Dubuque has been
added to the Central association by
John 3. Farrell, secretary Of the ma
tional association. This sets at rest
any doubt about what Al Tearney,
president Of the Three-I league, might
try TO do in the future to prevent Du-
bIque from becoming member OF the
Central association. Tearney made a
claim few days ago that he would de-
mand 1900 from Dubuque before per-
hitting that city to become member
OF the c. A., alleging Dubuque had
failed to pay salaries OF. ball players
while a member OF the Three-I league.
The fact that Secretary Farrell has
added the Dubuque territory to the
Central association indicates no claim
against Dubuque, II there ever existed
q claim, was filed with the national as
sociation.

1t is impossible as yet to forecast
with any certainty the final form the

depend entirely upon the collective
will of the entire population to which
has been extended the proclamation
of the new government regarding uni
versal suffrage.

and that they will remain at their

This change in plans was authorized
by the war department. No further
details were made public but the or
der was interpreted as a step toward
preparing the country to defend itself
in case of an outbreak of early hos
tilities.

The Greeks made repeated represen-

being caused by the shutting off of
food supplies. The entente replied
that blockade would be lifted when
Greece had transferred the army to
lower Greece and disbanded the re.
servists, removing the possibility of
an attack by Greek troops on the rear
of the allied forces in Macedonia.

NEW YORK, N. Y. = Walker D.
Hines, chairman of the committee of
railroad counsel in the Adamson law
test case, commenting on the supreme
court decision, asserted its outstand-
ing feature was the declaration that
railroad trainmen are engaged in a
public service and that the govern
ment can compel arbitration to frus-
trate interruption of that service by
strike.
Mr.. Hines pointed out that the rail-
roads have been reminded by many
court decisions that their rights were
subordinate 70 the rights of society
and now, he added, men engaged in
railroad train service must realize the
same conditions apply to them.

PARIS French cavalry has
advanced to within about four and
one-half miles of st. Quentin, one of
the larger towns believed to be strong
ly defended by the Germans.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-The German
retreat in northern France is includ-
ing the entire area between Arras and
scissors back, at least, as far as Saint
Quentin. If it halts at San Quentin the
line will have fallen back nearly thir
ty miles.
The pursuit is hampered by every
device known to military engineers.
Bridges have been blown up and road
ways rendered as nearly impossible
as fallen trees, mine craters, ETC., can
make them. By this means and thanks
to the good start secured through sue
cess in concealing the movements, the
main German forces have been moved
back without any fighting.
The French have taken the town of
Ham and marched on toward San
Quentin. The British advanced through
Bapaume and pushed on several miles
beyond toward Cambria.
The consensus of military opinion
is that the new line selected for Ger
man defense will run through Lille,
Cambria, ST. Quentin, Loan and La
Fere. This might be called the Hin
denburg line since there can be no
doubt that the master strategist has
dictated the whole movement. Ba-
paume and Peronne, the principal tar
gets of the allied attack last year,
were only country towns which be-
came important because they were
the chief points in back of the Sec
tors involved in the attacks. The
cities on the "Hindenburg line" are
all important places and If it becomes
necessary to fight the Germans on
that line the commandments will de-
stroy French property of great value
If the allies fail to overtake the re-
treat in time to force a battle in the
open, which now seems impossible.
the Germans will occupy a position of
decided superiority for some time to
come.
Claims Retreat Foils Allies.
BERLIN The German evacu-
alton of Bapaume, Roye, Noyon and
Peronne is but part of great
strategic undertaking which promises
to revolutionize warfare on the entire
western front and constitute one of
the most decisive moves in the war.
Just as a month ago the Germans
evacuated an important sector on the
Ancre, but kept the fact secret for a
week while the British bombarded the
empty trenches, so the days report
shows the most important develop
ment of 1917 on any front
Great Work of Destruction.
The sector including the evacuated
cities virtually covers the great Som
me battle front. Reports from this Sec
ton of the front tell of effective work
IF destruction carried out before the
occupied land was given back to the
French and the British, so that it will
avail them nothing as captured soil,
according to views expressed here.
FoiIs Allies Offensive.
"The giving up of this portion of our
front puts an end to all the enemy's
finely laid spring offensive plans"
said high German military author
ity. Ever since November hundreds
of thousands of men have been at
work building trenches, munition de-
pots, railroads and cable lines to pre-
pare for the biggest spring offensive
of the war. Now, at one blow, all that
is gone for nothing In the face of our
withdrawal All this is useless"

The Country Reporter

The news gathering force connected
with every newspaper in the. country is
an obscure and little appreciated con-
pany by the general public. Their names
seldom appear, but day by day they
CLEAN the items of interest in their imme-
date vicinity, items which every subscrib-
er in their home towns turn to first of all
and are freely discussed until the next
batch comes along. The reporter is cussed
and discussed by all his neighbors, but
he calmly keeps on his accustomed way,
aiming at all times to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
as he gets it. He has malice toward none
and charity for all. If he has a nose for
news and covers his assignment faithfully
he stays on the job as long as life itself.
There are a few men in Vermont who
have filled such often thankless positions
until they have grown gray land bald)
in the service. Among the number, one of
the most favorably known veterans is
H. A. Blake of Sutton, who has for near
ly half century been the faithful CORE
spondent of the St. Johnsbury Caledoni-
an from his home town. His little batch
of news has dropped into the office of
that paper for As years, and if it could
be gathered together in one volume,
would make a pretty minute history of
his town. Civil and ecclesiastical affairs,
births, weddings and funerals, every sort
of private and public functions have been
chronicled. Such men are rare, and it be-
hooves the state press to put on record
its appreciation of the services of such
correspondents, without whose h e | p
many a newspaper would founder help
lessly along Herald.
