BRITISH STRIKE
 WITH SPEED IN
 NEW OFFENSIVE
Power of Attack Brushes Usual Retaliatory Artillery <
 Fire of Enemy.
(From a staff correspondent of the
 Associated Press.)

Associated Press.)
 British Headquarters in France, April Il, via London-The speed and power of the British assault in what will probably be known in history as the battle of Arras seem to have thor oughly surprised the Germans. So much so, in fact, that their usual re- taliatory artillery fire has been abso- lutely negligible in the last two days. This is partly due, of course, to the number of guns captured, to which must be added the number knocked out by the British artillery before the actual assault began. It also is due to the fact that the Germans have been too busy trying to get their re- maining guns away from immediate danger to bother firing at the ene- my.
 In a German artillery position east of Arras, known as Battery valley could be seen the remains of 24 field pieces today
 A trip over the new-taken lines re- vealed a condition of trenches closely approximating those recently evacu- ated by the Germans in the valley of

In recent communication to the Paris Academic, Prof. c. Zenghelis, discussing the ancient and modern lit erature on the so-cal1ed Greek fire, ex- presses the opinion that it was a mix ture of nitre and various combustible substances; sulphur, charcoal, resins, oils, etc, and really the forerunner of gunpowder, says the Scientific Ameri- can. The first mention he ascribes to Theophanos about 750 A. D., who re- corded that Callinicus of Heliopolis in Syria, used the fire in fighting the ships of the Arabians in 672, when the ships of the Arabians in 672, when Constantine w., Pogonatos was Elm 'peror, 1Zenghe1is does not mention that. this Emperor, by the aid of the fire, Kept the Arabians off Constanti- nople when they besieged his capital in 672-67S, nor does he refer to the the popular belief according to which the Greek fire was known to Constan- tine the Great, the Emperor of the first council of Nicaea (325) and was supposed to have come from China.

George J.

 The labor leaders hold the ordin- ance to be unconstitutional. MT, Bowen told the council that the mem bers of his organization were all loyal Americans and have always tried to avoid trouble. He said meetings of

Holly is not only one of the best
little towns in the state of Colorado
but it is also one of the cleanest.
Let us all do our part this spring
and summer to keep it SO. Burn
the rubbish on your lots during
the next few days. sprinkle the
lawn, paint the house and out
buildings and let's keep up the
good work all year long. We
should all take pride in doing
something for the good of the city
and for the community in which we
live.
The Holly chieftain., 1917-04-20

Prices OF commodities are in a
state of fluctuation-mostly up
ward. Householders are compelled
to give more consideration to the
problem of buying to best advan-
tage than in period when prices
are on a more stable basis. OF
course, many people are earning
more money-but not all. To a
great number of housewives the in
crease in cost of some necessity pre-
sents an ugly puzzle, but one which
must be solved at once. Thus it
happens that readers of advertise
ments multiply in periods like the
present-for in the ads it is always
possible to find clues as to better
buying opportunities, hints as to
savings Wise merchants will there
fore undertand that conditions
such as prevail now in the matter
OF uncertain Commodity-prices Of
fer to them special opportunities
for real service-offer to them
chances to make their advertising
OF very wide and general appeal
and value. There has not been a
time IN recent years when the good
store faced such favorable occa-
sion for winning new friends as it
now faces. There has not been a
time either, when serviceadvertis-
ing could accomplish so much for
storegrowth, of the enduring kind
as now. Be wise merchant, inform
the people of the advantages that
your store holds forth-use the col
umns OF the Chieftain which is one
OF the best advertising mediums in
the Arkansas Valley.

NOT ALL PATRIOTS NEED
SHOULDER GUNS

From all sections of the Nation
comes the news that men by thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands
are answering the call to arms and
it will be but short time until the
army and navy of he United States
is recuited up to the full strength
required for the present time. Pat
riOtic men and women. quick to
realize the necessity of immediate
action, have volunteered in the var
ious departments of National ser
vice and there is hardly city or
town of any size in the United
States but what boasts OF mill
tary organization of some kind. 1t
is a great thing, a grand National
privilege. to shoulder a gun and
march away to the defence of our
lives and property and freedom.
But in this great crisis it is not
alone the men who shoulder guns
who have the privilege of doing
patriotic duty for the Nation.
1t is the patriotic duty of every
true American citizen to do every
thing in his power to increase the
production of foodstuffs of all
kinds. The Nation is virtually at
war and we and our allies will need
much more foodstuff than is now
in sight. The people of Colorado
and the great West must do their
full share and their full share"
means the very maximum produc-
ton. There is no danger of over
production, as there will be abund-
ant need of all we can grow. There
are thousands of acres of good land
that need only the care of exper-
fenced hands to produce our full
quota of supplies.
Every citizen should make sacri-
fees, if need be, in order to grow
foOdstuffs. Vacant lots and tracts
of land in and near cities and
towns should be utilized in every
possible way. Farmers should in
crease their crop acreage, cultivate,
to the limit. employ labor saving
machinery. work overtime and
when possible plant those crops
that are most needed to feed the
people of the Nation, Every addi-
tional pound and bushel produced
will count
Bankers and capitalists can
greatly help by advancing money
for needed seeds and machinry. The
necessity for Immediate action is far
greater than most of us realize, and
patriotic citizens of all callings
must cooperate.
The planting season is now at
hand and no time must be lost
Farmers from all sections OF Col0ra-
do have announced that they are
ready to do their part, and already
many OF them have their land un-
der cultivation.
The Nation needs Farmers as well
as Soldiers.
