:''Did you hear that, Seymour" said
the court, again addressing Attorney
Stedman. "That's a rather unusual

What do you think Of that?"
The remark of Emil Larson, who has
lived in the country for more than nine
years that he Figured on going back
to Sweden" and that is why he did not
register, was the breaking point for
Judge Lands.
Like Lot of Puppies.
"Not one Of you fellows have told
me the real truth; you have all whined
and bellyached like a lot Of puppies
here" said the court in disgust, as he
scanned the wall Of the court room
filled with the prisoners.
AS each defendant told the judge he
was opposed to war and did not want
to kill or hurt anyone, the court would
invariably turn in the direction of Jo-
reph Lawrence, court interpreter.
"You see that fellow, Lawrence,
there. Now, if he were to go for you
with large elm, not a slippery elm,
club wouldn't you do something to de-
fend yourself? Yoa surely wouldn't
let Lawrence beat you up without try
ing to resist him, would you?"
Each prisoner answered he would
not resist or that he would try to run
away.
II guess you must have all these
fellows 'bufaloed,' Lawrence" the
court finally remarked with smile.

COUNTY DADS MEET
In Regular Semi-Annual Session at
the Office of the County
Auditor on Tuesday.
Taxes Levied for the Ensuing Year
in the Sum of $4,000
Jurors Are Drawn.

The board Of county commissioners
met in regular semi-annual session at
the office of the county auditor Mon
day with all members present. Chair
man Thomas presided.
The board proceeded to draw the
supplemental jury list, selecting %
grand and "a petit jurors to take the
place of jurors who were drawn for
the spring term Of court.
On motion made and carried the fol-
lowing amounts were voted by the
board to be levied on the taxable
property for the ensuing fiscal year,
for the different funds in amounts as
follows:
County revenue .........................S36 900
Road and bridge .............. 5000
County poor farm ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 1000
County poor ............................... 5000
Total .................................$ 900
This is $11 500 more than last year,
when the total was $38,5OO. The in
crease is in the revenue and poor
funds, as the road and bridge levy is
less than year ago, pursuant to the
promise made by the commissioners.
The purpose of the increase is to take
up outstanding warrants that the
county is paying interest on.
The returns of Sheriff Shockley on
delinquent personal property taxes
were checked up, and uncollectable
items were cancelled.
The depository bond Of the Security
State Bank Of Isle in the sum of
$500 was examined, approved and
ordered filed.

to convert our recent victory into de-
feat. So far as the German attempts to
infiict that defeat are concerned, they
resulted chiefly in most colossal losses
to themselves after small gains and
captures of prisoners and guns IN the
first rush.

breach Of the Hindenburg line. the

in our hands with all its support and

British Headquarters in France Dec.
8.-The Germans today continued the
work Of reoccupying the devastated
area bequeathed to them by the British
when General Byng withdrew his
troops from the Cambrai salient The
Bourbon woods still were reeklng with
poisonous gas. Graincourt. Noyelles,
Marcoing and Masnieres were waste
of ruin and the low lying ground on
which the Germans apparently had
planned to build their new trenches
were overlooked by British trenches.
Into this desert the big guns were
hurllng tons Of steel and machine gun
squads were active. Meanwhile the
major portion Of the British army was
sitting comfortably In their new homes,
their consolidation having been virtual
ly completed before they began to re-
tire. In fact, part OF this work was
done for them by the Germans in tho
famous Hindenburg line. The fine
dug-outs were at the disposal Of the
Tommles, who looked out on the Ger
mans with satisfaction.
Patrol Fighting Continues.
Fighting continued today at many
points between advance patrols of the
British and Germans. In the region of
LaVacquerie the Germans gave no in
dication that they had abandoned their
attempt to oust the British from the
high ground.
The British, who held Bourbon wood
so gallantly, were compelled to wear
gas masks most Of the time they were
in the forest. The ground was swampy
in many places and the whole woods
was covered with underbrush. In some
points It was perilous even to remove
gas masks to eat or drink.
Enemy Employs 250,000 Men.
t Il Is impossible. OF course. to give ar
adeuuate number OF German trool,
employed In the operations along the
new battle line but 1t probably is not
far out OF the way to say. tho enemy
has something. like 250,O00 men.
The British withdrawal leaves the
Germans In full possession OF the Hin
denburg line between Villiers- Plouich
and the Nordc canal. East of yilliers-
Plouich the British line CROSSES the
system and then southwest toward
Gauche wood. which the British still
hold.
The new positions are exceedingly
strong. Tho British artillery fire upon
the evacuated zone is very heavy and
the Germans have suffered heavily
Somethins like 1000 Germans were
killed at one place yesterday afternoon
by artillery fire.
