AT the British Front In France
War takes no account OF the Sabbath.
They toll and fight seven days a week
at the front. Not only laws but cog
mns are sllenced by the guns.
II happened that we visited Arras
on a Sunday. The whole countryside
from the base up to the front was
alive with movement. Motoring for
hours along the broad, straight,
switchback French roads you found
them grooming under the heavy trnf-
&c OF wal supplies.
Ponderous motor lorrles dominated
the scene-lorrles In hundreds, lor-
ries In thousands. One stream was
going up, another stream coming
down. The automobile picked It's
way as well as II could In between,
and at cross roads one found Brit
lsh trahic orderlies keeping the
streams moving In regulated process
sion, just as the London policeman
does ut the Bank OF England or TIC
gent Circus.
Otherwise the confusion and delays
would be lntermlnable; and de-
lay In sending up supplies TO n light
ing army might be n fatal business.
In the course OF somo days motor
ing up TO various points on the Brit
fish fighting line, over roads literally
packed with all sorts OF veh%lcles--lor-
rles, buses full Of soldiers, ammunl-
ton wagon drawn by teams Of mules,
guns with their gun carriages, from
the handy field piece to the mammoth
howltzer, traction englnes-and never
once did we see n tle-up. Everything
was golrg forward OF coming back
with absolute smoothness, the whole
complicated organization working
with clockwork precision.
Vast Camps Behind Line.
At frequent intervals along these
roads you came upon camps OF all
sorts-soldlers' camps, veterinary
camps, vast motor garages, mule cor
rails, supply camps, repair camps,
draft horse Enclosures, munltlon
depots, parks OF artillery, hospital
camps and occasionally cnges for
German prisoners. -, erything re-
qulred by the modern army Is TO be
seen I'm the utmost profuslon, with
order and system the presiding de.
tiles.
This does not apply merely to the
rond 10 Arms, but to all the other
highways throughout the whole OF the
army zone. Khaki Is the prevailing
hue. The British soldier pcrmeates the
whole region, and save In the towns
and villages the French inhabitants
only the old and the very young-arc
rarely TO be seen.
Not only the ronds but the railway
lines nre working nj top pressure In
the business OF the war. II Is curious
10 see trains OF English cars drawn
by English engines running on the
French trucks. The nmalgnmntIon be,

Shopkeepers Colin Money.
Needless TO sss, the shopkeepers
are coming money out OF this friendly
army OF occupation. On this Sunday
evening, when the men from the re
serve camps had finished their day,

Try Turning Movement.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Dec. S.-The Importance of the
fighting around Asiago is not under
estimated, but it is believed the line
of resistance on which the Italians
have retired is capable of holding the
FranZella and Cadena passes leading
into the Brenta valley and the open
plain some miles below.
The fighting has been of the most
desperate character and while the enc.
my has paid dearly for his success,
the Italian losses also have been
heavy.
The big operation which the enemy
is attempting in the north is virtually
repetition Of the turning movement
he executed six weeks ago in the
great offensive above Corr. At that
time he broke through the upper end
of the line and thus endangered the
lower end. This is exactly the situa.
ton which is being repeated.
The Austro-German attack on Melet.
ia not only affects the lines in that
region, but if the enemy could pierce
through and drive his way southwark
into the plains, it might place him on
the left flank of the Piave lines much
as the Duke of Aosta had his third
army at Corr with the enemy on his
left flank. 1t is this quite as much
as the frontal attack that is receiv-
ing consideration.
The line east of Asiago probably is
stronger today than before the retire
nent.

BRITISH STRENGTHEN
LINE BY RETIREMENT
Germans Make Heavy Attack
on Vacated Ground.

British Headquarters in France,
Dec. S,-The British have withdrawn
from the salient about Bourbon WOOD
to a prepared line which should make
their position much stronger and
more desirable in many ways.
The retirement was carried out sue.
cessfully mainly between the hours
of twelve and four o'clock Wednes-
day morning and under cover of dark
ness. Not until many hours later did
the enemy discover he was facing
evacuated territory.
The Germans Thursday had swarm
ed over much of the vacated zone and
were digging themselves in along the
advanced line AS late as $50 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon they were still
Smelling Bourbon wood. Between noon
and one o'clock they launched heavy
attack against the empty trenches
near Moeuvres, showing they were
uncertain of the situation even then.
The successful manner of the With
drawal places it in the category of
remarkable military achievement. Had
the Germans become aware that 1t
was impending, grave losses might
have resulted to the retiring troops.
The question of abandoning the salt
ent must have been under careful con.
sideration for some time.
Wednesdays retirement cannot be
designated as retreat. There Is no
reason to believe the British could

The position was not desirable and it
would have cost the lives Of many
men to have held on to the sharp

SETTING UP WORK IN FRANCE
French Military Exercises Make Amer.
lean Maneuvers Look Like Kim
dergarten, Says Writer.

Every so often the captain takes US
down into field behind the mill and
makes US do French exercises. Believe
me, they are some exercise! exclaims
George PattullO in the Saturday Even
ing Post. The old army setting up ex-
ercises are joke beside them, and
these take about three weeks for guy
to work up to because you can't stand
them straight through until you get
hardened.
First you do the Indian walk, all
bent over with your hands near touch
ing the ground. 1t tires your back and
legs; but that Is the way you'll have to
walk in the trenches, so why not train
the muscles now?
Then you get down on your hands
and run like a bear, straight ahead
and sideways, for about a hundred
yards. And after that you put your
hands on the ground and leap like
frog the same distance! When you
have done that you start off from q
mark ickety-split as hard as you can
leg 1t, and then down you flop like q
sack of meal and keep right on going
at crawl, fiat on your stomach, using
your elbows to do same. That is to
practice advance with rifle to attack.
You have to crawl over the ground on
your. stomach, pulling yourself with
your hands, too.
These exercises are to train the mus
cles you will need when you go up to
fight the boche, because that is the on
ly safe way to move around there. And
1t amt so safe at that, neither!

PUBLISHER HELD
FOR ESPIONAGE
Office Of PhiIadeIp hia Paper
Raided and Five Arrested.

Philadelphia, Dec. S.-The worst
case OF treason developed in this city
since the war began, according to
Howard NJ. Long, United States COM
missioner, was disclosed VIXEN federal
agents raided the Offices Of the Ii
Lithuanian newspaper Kavo, 229 North
Sixth street, a Socialist weekly.
Joseph v. Stilson, secretary of the
company which publishes the paper,
was arrested and held in $4,000 for
a further hearing on charges of vio-
lating the espionage act. Five en-
ployes of the concern were taken as
material witnesses, together with a
mail wagonload of records, correspon-
dence and files of the paper
The specific charge upon which
Stilson was arrested was the distribu-
ton of circular on August Is where
by, it is alleged, he wilfully and un-
lawfully obstructed the recruiting and
enlistment service of the United
States. The circular which was dis
tributed in all parts of the state and
elsewhere. is said to have contained
statements much more serious than
anything published by the German
paper, Tageblatt, which was raided
several months ago, according to
United States Commissioner Long,
who heard the case.
The reprinting of the full circular
containing the alleged reasonable ut
terances is forbidden by the depart
ment of justice. One of tbs alleged
statements was to the effeS Shat the
garb of a convict Is more honorable
than a soldiers uniform. The cir
cu1ar was signed, "Peacel Desiring
Workingmen." A suggestion at the
bottom of the circular, which federal
authorities charge was written by
Stilson, was as follows:
"Citizens with their first papers,
physically fit and unmarried and with
out dependents (Which must be prov
ed) should Immediately abscond or
they will be taken into the army"
The penalty for the offense, II
proved, is a fine of $4,000 or an i'm
prisonment of ten years.

BIG GAINS ON FARM FRONT

Secretary of AsricuIture's Report
Shows Increase il Cereals
Washington, Dec. S.--Reviewtng the
progress of the campaigns fer in
creased production to NEE. war de-
mands and conditions, David 2. Hous-
ton, secretary of agriculture. in his
annual report made public, reports
that the farmers of the nation, patr1-
otically responding to the appeals OF
agricultural and other agencies, have
produced more than five and one-half
billion bushels of cereal food crops
exceeding by 1,000,000,000 bushels the
hve-year average for cereals-recoEd
crops of Irish potatoes and sweep po-
tatoes, large crops of be-ns and
sugar beets, and an unusually large
crop of perishables.
Authentic figures for meat, poultry,
dairy products, and vegetable OILS are
not available for that quantity for the
year IS slightly greater than for either
1916 or 1915 and exceeds the five
year average by two or three billion
pounds.
It must be borne in mind, however.
the secretary says, that the 1917
cereal crops are 1919 million bushels
below the yield of 1915: that the
carry-over of cereals from last year
was much below the normal: that tie
percentage of soft corn of the 1917
crop-which cannot be used for food
lis unusually high; and that, with
the destruction of live stock in Euro2e
and the great demands from there for
meats and fats, with c"nsequont
greatly increased exports from the
country, the supply of meats and fats
will not be adequate to meet the de-
nestle needs and those of the nations
with which we are cooperating.

ton of war on Austria Hungary was

he been present unless it had hem
amended to provide that the United
States would not be a party to any
agreement to take any territory held
by Austria prior to August l, 1914.
Senator Lafollette explained that
his absence was due to the fact that
he had expected the debate to con-
