the open where their shells will reach
them.
The scene of the present British Of
fensive includes one of the most i'm
portant and strongest parts of the
German line in this, section and had
been marked by some of the most Bit
ter fighting of the war since the AL
lies seven weeks ago began their
drive, which has become known as
the battle of Flanders. The wooded
elevations east and southeast of
Ypres, among which are such domin-
ating positions as Glencorse wood and
Inverness copse, were the vital points,
and the Germans had made their de-
Tense here as nearly impregnable as
they were able, being determined to
retain them without regard to cost.
The battles of the past few weeks
bear witness to the strength of the
defenses at these points
The crucial sector may be said to
begin with the ridge known as Anzac
which lies about a mile southwest Of
Zonnebeke. Southwest of Amaze in
Nuns wood and just east of this is
the famous forest known as Polgon
wood. When the British in August
fought their way forward to Polygon
flooded that they were forced to go
around 1t, and the ground here still
presents great difficulties to the
| movement of troops because Of its
swampy condition.
Nuns wood merges into Glencorse
| wood OF the south and a little further
down and astride the Ypres-Menin
I, highway is Inverness Copse Of indy
| ing fame. Between G1encorse wood
and Inverness is an open stretch of
solid ground of some 400 yards, and
here on the Fitz- Clarence farm the
machine guns dominated the southern
part of Glencorse wood and the
| northern section Of Inverness.
| Below Inverness are Dumbarton
| lakes. and the ground about them Is
| pitted with shell craters, which are
| filled with water. The paths and
| trenches here were wiped out by ar
| til1ery fire and the shell holes are SO
close together that there is no space
| to walk around them. In rfcT places
| the mud and water are knee deep.
| Still further south is Shrewsbury
| forest, through which the British line
| ran, and the ground in front OF the
! British trenches is mass of tanJle
of barbed wire.

At least one of the more active or

A Virulent Brand.

Of course Kansas is a bone-dry
state, but once in a while, by the use
of double-walled vinegar barrels
with booze in the inner compartment
and vinegar in the outer, or some
thing of the kind, it is possible to get
by.
The stringent conditions seem to
result in particularly vicious
variety of poison being struggled in:
A man in Wichita secured some of
it the other day and what he did was
plenty for one lone citizen.
BY way of warning up he kicked
the Victrola to pieces and then threw
the sewing machine thru the window.
Then he went out in the kitchen
where his meal was being prepared
and smashed down on the cook-stove
with such impetuosity that the gravy
flew all over the ceiling. Strolling in
to the dining room, he took divers
glasses of jelly annd decorated the
wallpaper with them. Then he
buckled down and demolished every
piece of furniture in the house ex-
cept the refrigerator. Either it was
too durable or else he had friendly
feeling for it lurking in his sub-con-
scious ego.
While engaged in altering and re-
modelling his cozy bugalowand chas-
ing the family up the trees in the
back yard, he carried on loud con-
versation, consisting mainly of pro-
family, impartially denouncing every
one who passed by. His delivery was
said to have been effective but he
had poor control, and he was finally
surrounded and brought to pustice.
OF course it a bit oppressive to
curb personal liberty and deprive
men of their refreshments after they
come home tired from their days
work, but if this is the kind of liquor
that is being brought into Kansas in
automobile gas tanks or bales of
hay, we should at least provide padd-
ed cells at convenient places for the
use of the free and unlimited citi-
zens who still get occasionally illu-
minated.-Wichita Beacon.
