28 INDICTMENTS
FOUND.
EXAMINED 64 WITNESSES In SIX DAYS

TORS-TO INVESTIGATE LARCENIES
In C0UNTY-SPECiAL OFFICERS
ASKED FOR.
To the Honorable the Judges of the

To the Honorable the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Carroll County:
The grand jurors of the State of
Maryland for the body of Carroll
County would respectfully report to
your Honorable Court that they have
carefully investigated all matters
brought to their attention; that they
have examined 64 witnesses, and
found 2S presentmentS and % in
dictmentS based thereon, among which
are indictments of three of the four
prisoners reported as confined in the
county Jail. Against one Of them, Le-
roy Webster by name no indictment
was found, but 1t is recommended
that the said Webster be not discharg-
ed from custody but held in the coun-
ty Jail as O. witness for the State, in
the case of the State vs.. Benjamin
Coleman, alias Benny Jenkins, against
whom an indictment was found
They gave special attention to the
investigation of alleged infractions of
the Anti-SalOon law and examined as
witnesses a. large number of persons,
whose names were given as having
| possible knowledge thereof, and have
duly indicted those against whom evil
dence was obtainable. They would
through this report respectfully ask
leave to call public attention to the
fact that the giving away Of intoxlcat-
ing liquor in any form, whether it be
whisky, beer, wine, brandy and even
hard cider" that is intoxicating. is
punishable under the law, and that no
Intoxicating liquor can lawfully be
given away in Carroll county except
| by an individual in his own private
T1lo Of fa
resort.
They gave such attention as was
possible to the investigation of the
/ larcenies to which attention was call
! ed by the Court, and regret that in
most cases evidence sufficient for the
/ Identification of the guilty parties was
not forthcoming. They believe that
unusual effort should be made for
their detection, for the protection
of the property of the taxpayers of
the county and the enforcement Of
| law, and to that end wish to record
their approval of the recent action of
the Board of County Commissioners
in authorizing the States Attorney to
employ special skilled officers for
that purpose. They would further
recommend that in each district OF the
county a qualified man be appointed
either as deputy-sheriff or constable.
| In the discharge OF their official
duties they visited the county Jail and
county home, where they were hos
pitably entertained, at the former by
Sheriff Stoner and his family and at
the latter by Steward Barnes and his
family. They found the condition of
both institutions worthy of all praise;
both being in splendid sanitary con-
dition. At the county home, the
wards of the county are comfortably
clothed and all gave testimony that
! they are we'll fed and cared for.
They wish to thank the Court and
it's officers for many cOurtesies and
for the assistance which made pos
sible the prompt transaction of such
business as engaged their attention.

HAIG STAGED STRANGEST BATTLE
In WORLDS HISTORY.
Army Tanks BIazed Trail for Surprise
Attack In Arras Sector.

With the British Armies in the
Field, November 21.-The strangest
battle in the worlds history was that
by which the British today smashed
the Hindenburg line.
There has been no other battle like
it in the annals of warfare Only
the wooden horse of Troy offers a
comparison with Haig's blow in tao
sical originality.
General Pershing, commander-in-
chief of the American Army in
France, witnessed this most stagger-
ish have launched against the enemy,
At a moment when the world was
saying that surprise attacks in this
war were no longer possible-when
the Prussians were thinking the same
thing and sleeping soundly in their
comfortable dugouts, without the
faintest suspicion that anything was
brewing-British army tanks, leading
British infantry rose up from the
ground like magic and swung to the
attack.
There was no artillery preparation.
The numbering tanks did the pulver-
izing of the way. They blazed the
IId1I1 LuclL SI6duLISd4Iy POAOCA Ooo
paths offering few entrance to the
infantry Immediately behind. They
crashed over wire entanglements, over
artfully concealed chavaux de Frise,
over trenches themselves and the
walking Tommies followed.
They were fiabbergasted. Not an
officer nor a man had the slightest
idea the British could possibly strike
tot Txyh
it was supposed every ounce OF
Britain's strength was concentrated
in Flanders.
The line seemed impregnable. The
Germans had heard that SO often they
were certain of it. They were con-
ffdent that it would take weeks of
high explosive shell preparation ami
wire-cutting expeditions, as we'll as
unprecedented barrages, to do the
trick.
So they dozed and slept and took
life easy in the German lines.
No more utterly demoralized hu-
man beings in the world were seen
than these same sleeky, confident
Boches as they crawled from their
dugouts, sleep barely out of their
eyes, at the sound of the crunching,
numbering juggernauts above them
to find British soldiers swarming
everywhere. They raised their arms
in shrilling cries of "Kamerad!
Kamerad!" and fed hither and
tdither, dazed and terror-str1cken.
Guns that never fired shot in this
battle we're seized by the Tommies,
or else crushed into the yielding
earth by the steelly weight of the
tanks.
Cement emplacement, steel-bound
roofs of dugouts crushed in, burying
Germans like ants in hills trodden
under foot.
