RETREAT CALLED
MASTER STROKE

In either event the enemy will
be at a disadvantage.
The German forces will be en-
ltrenched in the strongest possible
defense, protected by forests OF
barbed wire entanglements.
A free fire zone In front will
give them clear view of the enc
my. Guns have been carefully
ranged over all this forefield The
enemy must come up; must dig
itself In; must arrange transport
of millions of tons of ammunition
of food and supplies over the
wilderness. The allies will face
German forces prepared for every
contingency and protected as an
army was never protected before
by long preparations.
Carefully Chosen
The battle of the Marine, which
was unfavorable to Germany,
forced German troops to make
their stand wherever they could,
irrespective of natural advantages.
They have had to withstand many
months of pressure by entente
troops since that time. There
fore, the old line was not taken
up because of special strategic ad-
vantages.
The new line is. 1t lies in the
position where engineers and
strategical experts have chosen
every feature of topography as an
aid.
Releases Troops
German experts think weeks
and months will pass before the
entente can strike at the real bull
warks of the new German system.
Even before this strike they will
be compelled tot make enormous
sacrifices.
The new line will also free a
number of troops.

Morgan almost caught his
breath at the refusal.
"Jeffries put me here to stop
this kind of roydyism on the
stages" de Spain said to Lefever
on their way back to the barn.
This is a good time to begin.
And Sassoon and Gale Morgan are
good men to begin WITH" he
added.
AS the horses of the two men
emerged from the canyon they saw
a slender horsewoman riding in to-
ward the barn from the Music
Mountain trail. She stopped in

glance at the rider was enough to
assure him of Nan Morgan. He

McAlpin to mail a letter for her.
She also asked McAlpin. just as
de Spain drew up, whether the

told her 1t had. De Spain, touch

Omitted Press Leased Wire. }

BERLIN, via wireless to the
United Press, March 21.-Ger-
many is retreating to a victory;
another master stroke has been
achieved by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and the entente's
plans for great spring offensive
have been destroyed.
This, in brief is the official ex-
PLANTATION given today to the
United Press of Germany's retire
ment on the western front.
German armies are taking their
places in new positions, long pre-
pared.
These positions embody the
newest lessons of the war. They
will force the enemy to learn their
trade all over again. They would
astound tacticians If their full de-
tails were revealed. according to
German officials.
Made Int0> Wilderness
In the meantime Germany has
been clearing the whole country
in front OF these new positions.
They are miles back of the pres
ent line. The whole country in
tervening between the old German
lines and the new one has by ne
cessity OF war and necessity of
the new German plans been made
a wilderness. Roads have been
destroyed. The whole terrain has
been made difficult of passage.
Guns Carefully Placed
In their new positions the
German forces will face an enemy
either hurriedly brought up over
this difficult wilderness and, be-
cause of this hurry, insufficiently
supplied, or an enemy which has
come forward very slowly because
of necessity of building up the
country.

the next morning de Spain witt
his two companions and their pris.
oner ride into Sleepy Cat, locked
Sassoon up. and went to the Noun
tain House for breakfast.
The abduction of Sasson, which
|signalized de SPANS entry into the
|stage-line management, created a
sensation. The whole mountain
country talked for a week of moth
ing else. No such defiance Of the
traditions of the Morgan rule
along the reaches of the Spanish
Sinks had been attempted In
years.
The most active Morgans-
Gale. Duke, and the easy-going
Satterlee-were indeed wrought
to the keenest pitch of revengeful
anger. Gale Morgan stride and
rode the streets of Sleepy Cat
looking for de Spain and storming
De Spain himself, somewhat
surprised at the storm he had
kicked up, needed the counsel of
Scott, and while the acute stage of
the resentment ragged along the
trail he ran down for a few days
to Medicine, Bend to buy horses.
Both Gale and Duke Morgan
proclaimed, in certain public
places in Sleepy Cat, their inten-
tion of shooting de Spain on sight ;
and as a climax to all the excite
ment of the week following his
capture. Sassoon broke jail and,
after brief interval, appeared al
large In Calabasas.
This made loud laugh at de
SPANS expense. 1t mitigated
somewhat the humiliation of Sas-
soon's friends, but 1t In no wise
diminished their expressed resolve
to punish de SPANS invasion. Lee
fever decided after de Spain's re-
turn to Sleepy Cat that the stage
line authorities had gaianed moth
ing by Sassoon's capture.

CHAPTER III.
The First Blood at Calabasas

| lnc FNhU biOOu AT CnIaDaSaS
| Nothing more than de SPANS
announcement that he would sus-
tain his Safeguards was neces
sary to arouse violent resent
ment at Calabasas and among the
Morgan following.
Sassoon, owing to the indignity
put upon him, nourished a partic-
ular grievance against Frank Ell
paso. His chance came one night
when Elpaso had unwisely allow
ed himself to be drawn into a card
game at Calabasas Inn. Elpaso
was VIGOROUSLY a stickler for a
square deal at cards. A dispute
on this occasion found him with
out friend In the room. Saseoon
reached for him with a knife.
McAlpin was the first to get the
news at the barn. He gave first
aid to the helpless guard. and,
without dreaming he could be got
to surgeon alive, rushed him In
light wagon to the hospital at
Sleepy Cat.
Sassoon went temporarily into
hiding.
II A conference was held in Jeff
rfes' office. De Spain was instruct
ed to see that Sassoon was brought
In and made an example of. Ac-
cordingly the sheriff. Jim Druel
was dispatched after Sassoon. A
great deal of inquiry, much rid
ing. and a lot of talk on Druel's
part accomplished nothing.
De Spain and Lefever rode, one
hot morning, into Calabasas and
were told by McAlpin that Sassoon
had been seen within five minutes
at the inn. To Lefever the news
was like a bubbling spring to a
thirsty man.
IF you will stay right here,
Henry" he, averred convincinely.
Il Will go over and get Sassoon
The chief safeguard. Bcb
Scott, the Indian, was in the barn.
He smiled at Lefevers enthusiasm
Sassoon," said he, rs half way to
Morgan's Gap"

~. De Spain looked inquiringIy at
the guard. Scott shook his head
rhat would be all right, but
there's two other Calabasas men
In the Gap this afternoon II
wouldn't be nice to mix with
Deaf Sandusky and Harvey Lo-
gan"
We won't mix with Them" sug-
gested de Spain.
IF We tackle Sassoon, they'll
mix with u.s." explained Scott. He
reflected a moment. "They always
stay at Gale Morgan's or Dukes,
We might sneak Sassoon out with
out their getting on. Sassoon
knows he Is safe in the Gap: but
he'll hide even after he gets there.
II the three Of us could get to the
Gap before daylight tomorrow
morning. ] would give Sassoon a
run for his money in spite of the
other fellows"
II was SO arranged.
The plan proved unexpectedly
simple. Scott knew every foot of
Morgan's Gap with the thorough
ness OF the Indian he was. They
found Sassoon asleep In an old hut
Just where Scott had expected to
find him. His horse was hobbled
only few yards away, and be-
fore the outlaw was more than
half awake his abductors had him
astride the animal.
