London, April 2O-The French
troops continue to make important
gains at various points in their often
sive from Scissors easterly into Cham
payne.
In two localities yesterday they
made notable advances into the Ger
man lines, capturing prisoners and
guns. One of these points was south
and southwest of Laon, where the
German position turns sharply to the
east and the other was in Champagne,
northwest of Auberive.
Violent artillery actions are in
progress between the Somme and the
Disc. in Champagne; near LIE Mort
HCmme in the Verdun sector and in
Belgium around Dixmude. The French
war office reports that Wednesday
night the Germans threw II divisions
of fresh men into the fray between
Scissors and Auberiye in an attempt
to hold Gen. Nivelle's forces bacK but
that their efforts were unavailing.
The Berlin official statement says
German counter-attaeks northwest of
Auberive compensated for the ene-
mys gain of terrain" 1t is admitted
by Berlin that the Germans nearSVille
aux Bois retreated TO new lines, being
unable to withstand the Intensity of
the French fire. s4A sA3Jkf DIE
Comparative quiet, gauged by the re-
cent intensive fighting prevails on that
part of the line in France held by the
British The latest official communi-
cation dealing with the Arras-Lens
sector reports slight gains for Field
Marshal Haig's forces south OF Mon
chy-le-Preux and Fampoux and also to
the north in the Loos sector, where
prisoners were taken.
While the fetrograd war office an
nounces that the activity on the east
ern front has consisted merely of light
firing and scouting operations, reports
from Petrograd, said to have been
made public by the Russian general
staff are to the effect that the Germans
on the northern part of the front in
Russia backed by their fleet, are pre-
pairing for a great attack on the Rus
sian right wing probably with the in
tention of attempting to isolate Petro-
grad from the main Russian Armies.

crowds dragged negresses through
the streets, pummeling and stabbing
them with hatpins until the blacks
managed to struggle free and escape

in several instances their guns were
taken away from the soldiers while
the mobs hooted and jeered.

10000 TeutOns and Strong

LONDON, ENG. - "a flash in the
drive is, it is of the kind that will burn
a large hole-the "pan" being the Teu-
ton front in Galicia.
Two hundred miles of front from
the Stokhod in Volhynia down to the
Dniester in southeastern Galicia- are
bathed in fre-Russian fire. Every

sors. 1t is a typical Brusiloff drive;
no halt, no counting the dead; only
one thought, one command: For

Here are the net results of the first
days fighting, Sunday:
They captured Koniuchi, strategi-
cal point forty-seven miles southeast
of Lemberg, and series of strongly
fortified positions to the southwest Of
Brzezany which lie forty-six. miles
southeast of the Galician capital and
eight miles below Koniuchi
They took in that one day 10000
prisoners. Among these were some 200
officers.
Seven heavy guns have been count
ed so far among the booty.
There was military news from an
other, more distant theater that
cheered Russia and her allies. The
Russians nipped in the bud a Turkish
attack on the Caucasus front, prompt
ly wrested the initiative from the Sui
tan's force and swept ahead in vital
stctors, recording substantial gains.

winning drive for funds for the
local Chapter to be expended in
the purchase of material for the
ladies to make up for hospital
supplies. The result Of the com
mlttee's work among the busi-
ness men netted about $3.50, and
the young Ladies with their tag

more to make the amount $1,000.

qulre considerable financial as
slstance to keep them supplied

Our alleged mighty deer hun

have been out this year trying to
bag a deer, but they have return

Mrs. Geo. Jackson donned her
khaki suit, shouldered her rife

and returned Monday bringing

pened. When a man kills a deer
he brings it in a car, and wants
to parade around town with q

Columbus Day Celebration.

The observance of Columbus
Day was most successfully cele-
brated last Friday under the au-
spices of the Knight of Colum-
bus with the younger element in
charge of the program. Hereto
fore the celebrations have been
evening affairs, but this year
with the war spirit of youth it
was made an outdoor afternoon
demonstration with music and
flags, patriotic speeches and
songs, and barbecue. The pa
rade of automobiles headed by
the band moved up Kinsley ave-
nue. promptly at l o'clock for the
ball park. The committee on the
barbecue forgot there was such
a man as Mr.. Hoover who was
preaching conservation of food,
and enough meat was supplied
to feed a couple of regiments.
The principal feature of the
day was an address by Hon. Geo..
j. Stoneman, of Phoenix, which
was directed largely to the i'm
portance of arousing the nation
to action in the war to bring it
to a successful conclusion. Mr..
Stone-man is not of the faith
that advocates the white flag,
or with mealy-mouthed words
lends comfort to the enemy.
The afternoon was given over
to sports and amusements fol
the young people, but most OF
the older people were on the
ground when the day was over

Distressing Fatal Accident.

The saddest fatal accident over
recorded in the history of Win
slow occurred last Saturday at
noon, when Virginia Shindel, the
ten-year-old daughter Of E. F.
Shindel, manager of the Navajo
Ice & Cold Storage Co., fell into
the settling basin at the plant
and was drowned, no one witness
ing the accident as the employees
were all inside the building at
lunch. Mrs. Shindel went out to
call her little daughter to lunch,
and not seeing her in sight had
a motherly premonition of some
accident and hastened to call the
men and apprise them of her
fears. Mr.. Shindel was in the
city, and reached home just as
the men commenced to drag the
pond, and a few minutes after
the body was recovered. Medi-
cal aid was summoned at once
and for two hours the doctors
exerted all their skill in an effort
to resuccitate life but without
avail. The body was taken to
Tucson for burial, Sunday even
ing, that place being the former
home of Mrs. Shindel.
When the news of the accident
spread about town a number of
the friends of Mrs. Shindel i'm
mediately went to the grief
strikened home to lend such COM
fort and assistance as lay within
human power, and remained with
the lt-broken mother until
she was put abroad the train.
The accident has spread a pail of
gloom over the city, where both
Mr.. and Mrs. Shindel are so we'll
known and beloved by all, and
the suddenness of the visitation
almost paralyzes expressions of
sympathy and condolences from
hearts burdened with grief for
the Affections of the parents.

The Income Tax.

1t is now given out that re-
turns on the war income tax will
not have to be made to the Inter-
nal Revenue collector until JAN
uary LIST. There seems to be
considerable doubt in the minds
of the public as to the exact
operation of the law. It's provi-
slons state that a single man
must make return of his income
If it is $1,000 or over, and mar
rled man makes a return if his
income is $4,000 or over. If his
income does not to exceed these
amounts he will have no income
tax to pay, but if it is over the
amounts he will have to pay four
per cent on all over the exempt
ed amount.
fragments will not be required
under the law until June 18th,
1918, and payments can Ibe made
on the installment plan, although
the Secretary of the Treasury
reserves the right to demand the
payments in full as soon as re-
turns are made. The RESPONSE
bllity of making a correct return
OF your income rests wholly with
the individual, and neglect to
make a return or the filing of a
false statement will visit on the
offender the stringent penalties
provided in the law. After the
expiration of the date when re-
turns should be filed the govern
ment will then start a campaign
to uncover the Stacker who has
failed in his duty, so it behooves
everybody to get their returns
ready for filing.

The Winslow Bridge.

Supervisors Owens and Free.
man of Snowflake were in the
city last Monday, and with Su.
pervisor Creswell, held a con
ference with Mr.. l.. J. Mesmer
a member of the firm of Mesmel
& Rice, who hold the contract
for constructing the Winslow
bridge across the Little Colorado
river. They have been drag
ging the work along for nearly 9
year, and all there is to show for
a bridge is a couple of concrete
piers in the river, and now they
have held up the work in an eff.
fort to force the supervisors to
pay them about SIT, 900 for extra
work.
The contract price for the
completed bridge is $23, 300, and
just how the contractors figure
they are entitled to such an
amount as claimed for extra
work at this time is hard to
decipherA 1t is doubtful if the
contractors have expended all
told the amount they claim is due
them for extra work, unless they
hold that putting in piers for the
superstructure comes under that
head. In most bridges we have
seen and examined, piers seem
to be one of the essential fea-
lures, but this firm probably
takes the view that the piers are
extras.
From the day the contract was
let Mesmer & Rice have made no
serious effort to complete the
bridge, but have maintained an
insufficient force of men for the
work, Notwithstanding repeated
warnings that the piers would
have to be completed early in the
spring to escape the inconven-
ience of high water. No one
seemed to know what object
they had in delaying the work,
but the purpose is now apparent.
By dragging it along they
thought they saw a. chance to
hold up the supervisors for this
padded claim for extras based on
the delays and extra cost of cons
truction during the high water.
Another basis for their claim is
that they did not know when
they bid on the contract that the
bridge was to be built under
government supervision, but just
what disadvantage there is in
that to an honest contracting
firm is hard to understand. Of
course if they took the contract
wish the idea of defrauding the
county in it's construction, gov
ernment supervision will cut into
the prospective profits they
originally had in view.
The supervisors are firm in
their purpose to insist that the
work be completed promptly
without further needless delay,
and if the contractors refuse to
get busy the county will proceed
on it's own initiative and bring
suit against the bondsmen for
the cost of completing the job.
