Ronald Stevens, poet, philosopher,
street cleaner. sat in his garrett He
was trying to realize that success
had come to him. 1t had all been so
sudden. A short twenty-six years be-
fore he had sent his first manuscript
winging on its way to a magazine Of
fee. Now he was a figure in the liter
airy world. They had published a book
OF his verses. Before him on his soap
box table lay a letter from his pub
fishers. Here II is:

H|NDENBURG LINE
NOW HOLDS FIRM
German Retreat Stops; Brit
ish Bring Artillery Into
Play Against Defenses.

From staff Correspondent of the
Associated Press with the British
Armies in France Via London)
March 99.-The warfare on the west
ern front is becoming somewhat sta
tiouary again, as the British outposts
and patrols have come face TO face
with the so-called Ilindenburg lines.
The German position Is strong, as
they have had unlimited time in
which 10 prepare IT, far from shell
fire, so the problem again arises OF
smashing down this defense with suf-
ficient artillery to permit another
move forward.
Minor actions continue between the
German rear guard maChine-gun de-
tachments and the British infantry
and cavalry patrols, but nothing ap-
proaC hing the proportions of a battle
has yet developed. The Germans have
fortified every possible position I'm the
line Of retreat. including barbcd wire
cnt"nglemonts about cowbarns and
pispcns
Heavy artillery is coming into play
again back OF the Cambrdi-St. Quen-
tin line. 1t is reported that the Ger
man emperor recently visited the
territory over which the Germans re-
treated having come with Field Mar
shal Won IIindenburg, and given his
approval OF the methods adopted dur
ing the retreat.
The British have discovered plot
to spread disease among cavalry
horses, a German agent having been
found with vial of bacteriolC gical
cultures in his possession.
The Germans left behind all man
ncr of traps, of which, however, the
British and French received informa-
ton.
