Tho cannon are booming from
Lens to Auberive, in France, while
the infantry of both opponents np-
parently rests after the great battles
of the past three weeks, along this
line.
The British artillery, which in the
second week of the battle of Arras,
used up more shells than ever before
had been used in one action, con-
tinues it's deadly and destructive
work The French guns also are
active, while the German artillery
answers at various points. Appar-
emily this is the lull before the next
great clash in northern France.
. While the Germans have checked
for the moment the latest effort of
Field Marshal Haig's soldiers to cap
ture the strongly entrenched posi-
tions commanded by Crown Prince
Rupprecht their efforts to recapture
positions taken from them by the
British and French have met with
sanguinary failure.
Hurl Back COmteP-attackS.
South and northwest of st. Quen'
tin, that strong and important link
in the German defensive system,
British and French troops have
hurled back German counter-attacks
with heavy losses. Efforts of the
German crown prince to break the
French grip northeast of Soissons,
and recent German efforts to check
the French here, a report from Paris
says, haze resulted in the loss of
zoo, 900 men hiued, wounded and cap
tured.
In local operations along the Arras-
Cambria road and north the British
have gained some ground and the
French have advanced near Hurte-
bise on the Vaucleric plateau as well
as at one point in the flght-scarred
region of Moronvilliers.
Maude Again Beats Turks.
General Maude, in his progress up
the Tigris, now is before the Jebei
Hamrin hills, where the Turks nave
entrenched after retrcating from Sa-
mara. Russian forces are on the
other side of the hills, and at the
southern tip, the town of klZl

and Russian troops.
The tide has turned and British
troops now have a real chance 10
fight, declared Premier Lloyd George
in an address Friday. During tht
first eighteen days of the battle OF
Arras, he said, the British gained
four time as much ground and cap
tured seventy per cent more prisoners
and almost 900 per cent more guns
than during the similar period at the
beginning of the Somme defensive

 It is reliably reported from Washing ton that John L. Burnett. who for 20 years has represented the Seventh Ala bama district in Congress, will Voiun- tarily retire at the conclusion or ms present term.
 It is a safe prediction that while no other member of the Alabama delegation will voluntarily retire, there will be other changes For with the exception or Hurh Dent of the Second, Fred L. Black mon of the Fourth, w. B. Oliver Of the Sixth, and possibly J. Thomas Heflin or the Fifth, all the House members, will have opposition.
 Senator Rankhead for reelection will be opposed by Frank s. White Of BirS mingham, for certain, and possibly py others.

THE RETAIL STU
ALTON IN LORDSBURG

It would be foolish to assume that
retail establishments in Lordsburg
benefit from the prevailing high
prices Of some commodities. In
many instances the profits are less
than when the wholesale prices are
low. When retail prices reach a cor
tain high level there is a tendency
10 economize, resulting in lesscned
demand, and, as a consequence, q
lessened sale. Prices are fixed from
the bottom up, not from the tor
down; and the bottom Of the mercan-
tile situation is the cost of raw ma
terial. In this is found the first in
crease, and all other increases are
based upon il. 1t is a fact that most
retail stores prefer to see low prices
ard lively buying, rather than hiEf
prices and stultifed buying. This is
the situation in LOrdsburg and every
where else. The person who labors
under the delusion that retailers de-
l~iberateiy boost prices should inform
himself Of the facts. The retailer i,
