London.-The total prisoners taken
in the offensive begun last week now
aggregate more than $4,000. Guns to
the number of 166 also have been
taken.
On 12-mile front, from north of
the River Scarpe to south of Loos,
British troops pressed back the Ger
mans all along the line and captured
six villages. Field Marshal Haig's
men, the official communication from
British headquarters in France adds,
also have gained footing in German
trenches northeast of Lens. Prison
ers and guns also were taken in the
advance. Southeast of Arras, the state
ment adds, the British also made prog
ress.
The villages seized by the British
are all east and north of the Vimy
Ridge They are Bailleul, Willeval,
Vimy, Petit Vimy, Givenchy-en-Goh
and Apgres.
Great British Victory.
The far-reaching, important and
sweeping success of the battle of
Arras is being revealed in successive
chapters to the British public, which
hardly realizes yet that it is the most
effectual and decisive event to the
credit of the British Army during the
war. 1t may well rank with the battle
of the Marne, which turned back the
German invasion directed against
Paris, and may prove the turning
point Of the whole war in the west
and change the balance of the world
war.
Field Marshal Haig's bulletin, CIV
ing the number of guns captured as
166 and the aggregate of prisoners as
$4,000 and the details of new territory
gained for France from the invader,
marks the battle of Arras as a great
victory. But the significant statement
from Field Marshal Haig is that the
British are "astride" the Hindenburg
line.
The famous Hindenburg line had
been proclaimed by it's author as well
as by German experts as a sort of
"great wall of China" that would be
as impregnable to assaults as that
one of the seven wonders of the world
which was so long an adamant barrier
to protect an ancient Chinese dynasty.
The Won Hindenburg Buddha.
German experts have been even
firmer in their faith in Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's eighth wonder of
the world than they were a few
months ago that Vimy Ridge was un-
conquerable.
The German belief in the Won Hin
denburg Buddha has even served to
hypnotic part of the British public
and some prominent writers, who have
been disposed to accept the German
theory expounded in German papers
that everything that has occurred on
the western front has gone according
to Won Hindenburg's plans and as fore
seen by him.
A number of European military
writer's have taken the view that the
Won Hindenburg line was myth
pointed to hearten the German people.
But the British General Staff for some
time has known that there is a
definite Won Hindenburg line upon
which the German staff was basing its
defense and has known exactly where
that line was drawn.
If the British Army can break
through a vital or important sector,
the next chapter may be further eX-
tensive German retreat if, indeed, the
Germans are able to retreat in order
with Field Marshal Haig's army press
ing them as closely as it is now doing.

ANOTHER CALL FOR
NATIONAL GUARD
Experiment of Raising 100000
Volunteers to Be Tried.
BAKER STANDS BY HIS BILL
Secretary Baker Declares That the
SeIective Draft Bill Will Still
Be Urged Upon the
Congress.

Washington. - Ten thousand more
troops of the National Guard were
called into active service by Secretary
Baker.
1t is understood that this increment
of 10000 is only the first of the series,
and that there will be additional calls
until the whole National Guard of the
United States is again in the Federal
service.
1t is believed by members Of Con-
gress that the purpose of calling the
National Guard into the Federal sery-
ice is to afford all young men who
care to volunteer ample opportunity
to do so before the President proceeds
to conscript them under the terms OF
the compulsory service act which
President Wilson is determined shall
become law.
He has learned that there is in
Congress so strong sentiment for
the old volunteer system in prefer
ence to conscription that If vote
were taken at this time no conscrip-
ton bill could pass Congress unless
So du6uuSu LIldL COuSCIlpI1OA oAOuAN
become effective only after a call to
volunteers had failed to bring a suf-
cient response. 1t is believed, there
fore, that the administration intends
to give the volunteer system a final
test before the conscription bill is
voted on.
Volunteers For the War.

issue instructions to recruiting officers

all men 80 enlisting will serve only
for the period of the war and will be

Thinks the Kaiser Is Right.
"The Kaiser promised that Prussia
would be democracy after the war,
the Prime Minister observed whimsi-

the Kaiser is right"
"The United States have a noble
tradition that they never have been
engaged in war except for liberty" the
Prime Minister continued. "This is
the greatest struggle for liberty on
which they have ever embarked.
Americas entrance means some
thing more than waging of an ef-

that our present errand is SO similar

the free nations of Europe and vice
versa.
"This," he added, "is the largest

Slain Mans Widow Admits
Affinity Killed Him.

st. Joseph, Mo. Oct 31.-The solu-
ton of st. Joseph's latest murder
mystery was believed at hand today.
Police declare that evidence against
C. F. Weiniger, arrested in Kansas
City last night for the murder of
William c. Goold, is overwhelming
Mrs. Goold has practically confessed,
they assert, that Weiniger had told
her of his plans to kill Goold following
her refusal to elope with him, and
that she knew her husband was going
to his death when he answered a tele-
phone call late last Friday night.
Weiniger and Goold were formerly
business partners, but separated be-
cause of Weiniger's attention to Mrs
Goold. Later Mrs. Goold, the mother
of several children, eloped to Texas
with Weiniger but later returned to
Goold because of the children.
Weiniger continued his attentions
and visited st. Joseph several times.
Friday night he told Mrs. Goold, ac-
cording to her alleged statements to
the police, that he was going to put
Goold out of the way
Next morning Goods bullet rid
died body was found near his motor
car. Mrs. Goold was arrested yester-
day and after several hours grilling
her alleged confession and Weiniger's
arrest followed.

can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll. should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
