OF The Hindenburo Line.

London.-In one of HIS longest COM
muniques, Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig, commander of the British troops
In France, thrilled the British nation
with news of perhaps the most strik-
INK victory yet achieved on the West
sta front, and certainly, owing to the
novel phases Of the British attack, a
victory reviving hope at very gloomy
period
The Hindenburg or Siegfried line,
which was thus preached, was be-
lieved by the Germans to be strong
enough to hold back the world armies

possession of the British.
Pershing At The Front.
General Pershing, commander Of
the American forces in France, was
present at the British headquarters

the British commander, to witness the
British offensive. The American COM

the deepest interest.
Haig's Report.
The report from Field Marshal
Haig's' headquarters on the British
drive in the Cambria sector reads:
important progress was made west
and southwest of Cambria, though
rain has fallen continuously.
"Reinforcements which the enemy
hurried up to the battlefield to oppose
our advance have been driven out of
further series of villages and other

moved along regularly, according to
schedule.
The resistance offered by the dazed
Germans was negligible and by noon
British pioneers already were at work
laying roads across the old front line

able numbers had begun to come back
from various directions.
The casualties Of the attacking
forces thus far have been light Great
numbers of German dead lie before
the main Hindenburg trench, where
the bewildered enemy, taken un-
awares, made a half-hearted attempt
to stem the onrushing Britons.
The battle was an innovation for
the western front, for 1t was begun
without any preliminary artillery
work. Upon the army tanks rested
the responsibility for victory or de-
feat, and they fulfilled all expectations.

GUARD OFFICERS
 BLAME WAR lIEPT. >
 IN MOBILIZATION
New York and Illinois Mi litia Commanders Defend
 the state Troops.

Washington. Jan. S-- Same for the delay in the mobilization of the ma tional guard for border service Was placed squarely on the war depart ment today by Maj,-Gen. John O'Ryan. commanding the New York division of state forces. in tcstifying before the senate sub committee on universal service.
 Adjutant~General Louis w. Stotes- bury of New York and Capt. James r. Burns of the Third Illinois infantry. joined in defending the guard. All {, three of the officers agreed in favor ing universal service legislation, al though they had different ideas as to how it should be applied.
 Gen. O'Ryan outlined q plan under which boys would be required in theN' nineteenth year to select a course of service they would prefer, whether in the regular army, the national guard or some civil capacity. In common with the other two officers. he de- dared that comrete Liberalization cf , state troops must be effected, to in sure efficient service.
 Ben. O'Bryan and Gen. Stotesbury declared the report on national guard mobilization, prepared by the house militia bureau. was unfair tc the state service. They disclaimos. any thought that the army officials had issued it for the purpose of dis
 crediting and breaking up the guard although Gen. O'Ryan said the repor7 does show prejudice and ignorance of real conditions.'
 ''The national guard was treated b,
 the war department as d voluntee, forde. and not under inc scheme con templated in the national defense act" said Gen. Stotesbury.
 { Both generals said the greatest diff
 flculty was caused by the fact that !, under war departmental regulations ] equipment to be provided by the gov i,ernment was not on hand in thg
 mastering places.

TAXATION 0F STATE
 FARMS To BE TALKED
Conference of Representatives of Jei- iers0n and Lincoln Counties Will
 Be Held Here Jan. 24.

A conference will be held at the rooms of the chamber of commerce next Wednesday forenoon at 10:3G o'clock of the committees represent ing Lincoln and Jefferson counties and recently appointed to draft a bill whereby the state convict farm prop critics will be made to bear their just proportion of the taxes levied for drainage and levee purposes.
 The call for the conference was is sued yesterday by Secretary E. B. Bloom, of the chamber of commerce, al the request of the Lincoln county committee. thru pr, c. W. Dixon of Douglas. The members of the Lincoln county committee are Dr. Dixon. J. D. Crockett of South BeHd and A. J. Johnson of Star City. The members s of the Jefferson county committee are J. M Quattlebaum of Sherrill, D. Ev- erett Tucker of Tucker and w. F.. Coleman of this city
 It is believed the necessary bill will have little trouble passing the legisla- ture at it's present session, especially as it is considered only fair that these properties should pay taxes, as do pri- vately-owned properties. for improve lnents that add so greatly to their val ue, even though they are owned by the state. It is pointed out also that with these big propertie: exempted for taxes, needed drainage, levee and other improvements are made virtual ly impossible in the sections of the two counties involved.
