The rain which began Tuesday
came just at the right time to re-
fresh the winter wheat and keep
the pasture growing. A week or
ten days of open weather after the
rain would permit the farmers to
get the fall work all done. How
ever, if real winter weather should
start Immediately farm conditions
are very good. But every week of
good weather is boon to the stock
in this locality and will aid to solve
the feed shortage problem.

Ban johnson suggested that Maj
or league baseball players be ex-
empted from military duty. The
idea is ridiculous. Major league
ball players make the very best
kind of grenadiers and Uncle Sam
can use them as we'll as any other
class of men. During war times
baseball could be dispensed with.

The farms on the various ridges
tributary to Kendrick are in very
good shape for spring work. The
large acreage in beans last season
has left much ground for winter
wheat, which has made a splendid
start. While the ground has been
rather too dry for good blowing
the past two or three weeks, most
of the blowing is done so that
everything looks extremely favor
able for fine crop conditions the
coming year.

REED AND LEWIS ANSWER PARTISAN
 FLING OF HARDING
Republican Senator of Ohio Makes Serious Charge as to Lack of COnfi-
 dence in Loan

Washington. June s.--Senator Harding of Ohio, republican. declared in the Sen ate today that lack of public confidence was retarding subscriptions to the lib- erty loan and that in the interest Of unity, senators were withholding in- formation which might call for investiga- tions and shake the confidence of the American people in the conduct of the war"
 Senator Harding was speaking in re- ply to Senator Lewis. the democratic ings Decoration Day speech at Colum- bus O., in which he referred to Secre- tary McAdoos bond selling methods as "hysterica1' and "unseemly."
 T have no hestance in reaffirming that statement" insisted Senator Hard ing. T believe the liberty loan cam paign to be hysterical and unseemly."
 Senator Lewis assailed Senator Harding for making a partisan speech on Decora- ton Day, which he characterized as ''an unfortunate bit of partisanship in order that he might strike at the President.
 Evidently angered by Senator Harding's s charge, Senator Reed of Missouri, demo- crat, broke in:
 q regard that statement as more dam aging than the disclosure of the fact It is worse than the specific information. challenge the senator to give us the facts"
 T could not answer better" retorted Senator Harding, than to produce, if that were possible, the record of the re- cent executive sessions of the Senate, in which both the senator from Missouri and Illinois were prominent"

Prisoners kept coming in today in increasing hundreds. Dazed by nearly a week of most terrifying gunfire and half famished as a result of the star vation barrage," the British had kept on their lines of communication and supply these men, upon reaching the cool, grassy spots within the barbed wire stockades erected for their antic- ipated arrival, stripped themselves to the waist. tore off their heavy trench boots and flung themselves on the ground, where they soon were lost ill the heavy sleep of complete exhaus- tion. For them the war is over and their relief at being out of it was only too apparent.
 The men who had seen most of their artillery service on the Russian front were the most demoralized of all.
 KNOW WHAT WAR IS
 We had heard much of the condi- tions on the western front said one of the captured German officers to the Associated Press, but we always thought there was much exaggeration about them. We had no realization what war was.
 When we came from Russia a few weeks ago, we were told we were go- ing against the British, but that we need not worry as the English were not in a position to accomplish any thing serious against us in view of their offensive at Arras. The artillery fire we experienced when we first came to the Messines ridge was more terrible than anything we had seen or heard on the eastern front.
 "Then a week ago the English start ed their intensive bombardment It was horrible to endure Few of us ever thought we could get out alive There was a distinct sense of relief when the mine was exploded yesterday morning. We knew then that an att tack was under way and that soon we should be dead or in position to sur render. Most of us can frankly say that we preferred the latter.
 SHOULD END WAR
 This experience of ours should end the war. We have no possible chance to win. Two days ago my division was made up of three splendid German reg iments. We saw these men shrivel up in a hurricane of fire with which we could not possibly compete. Now my division exists no more.
 This officer had no complaints to make against the German higher com mand and no apparent desire to win favor from his British captors. He was so shaken by the ordeal he had under gone that he seemed to find at least
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-09

-1entary relief in expressing, in eX- ce1lent English, the thoughts which were uppermost in his mind. The ex- | perience of his division apparently is evidence that Germany is not finding
 solution here of her military diff
 culties in the transferring of her old | eastern units to the western front.
 WONDERFUL TRIUMPH
 l The battle of the Messnes ridge will l ever stand out as a wonderful triumph 1 for the British artillery The deepest sig nificance in the striking victory lies in the fact that the Germans seemed to know that the attack was coming and had endeavored in every possible way
 to defend themselves against it. But as fast as they brought up new batteries the British guns were upon them. Brit ish airplanes always were over the Ger man lines, watching every move and dem onstrating very plainly with whom rests supremacy in the air on this front. All the prisoners say they had been
 warned within the last few days that the English might attempt an offensive and
 that the main attack might come in the Messines sector with the hope of nip ping off the Wytschaete sector-all of which it might be stated, has been ac- complshed. The German troops in the line have been ordered to be on the alert every moment, day and night; but Brit ish raids just prior to the attack showed that the German sentries always sought cover from the British ombardments as they had every good reason to do.
 TOLD TO HOLD
 Prisoners say they were ordered to hold the front lines at all costs, although their commanders verbally admitted that this line would be taken by the first assault ing waves. It was hoped, however, inn mediately to eject the British with the much talked of German storming troops and "Stosstruppen" when had been espe
 cially formed to Knock the British out of any trench element they might enter
 German troops who but recently came
 into the lines said they had seen many
 guns moving toward the front. This wor-
 ried them considerably, for ordinarily Ger
 man gun transfers are made a night and
 in such a concealed manner that even
 the German infantry seldom sees them
 The German prisoners admit they were
 completely bewildered by the British tac
 tics. So many practice barrages and
 feint bombardments had been directed against them that they had no idea when to expect an actual attack. Their first line and communication trenches alike had been terribly knocked about.
 The British had to level many bits of
 wood and then they sprayed these woods with drums of boiling, blazing oil. which
 burned them away and made attacking across what would be considered impreg- nable natural defenses quite an easy mat ter. The communication trenches w6re
 so damaged that it was impossible for the Germans to make their way along them in daylight, except on all fours.
 Ration paries attempting at night to come up over the open were badly cut up by the constant British fire.
