treating to q victory, another master
stroke has been achieved by Field
Marshal Won, Hindenburg, and the en-
tente's plans for a great spring Of
fensive have been destroyed.
This, in brief, Is the Official ex-
PLANTATION given for the first time to-
day of Germany's retirement on the
western front.
Germany is retreating to a victory
because her armies are taking their
places in new positions, long pre-
pared.
Those positions embody the new
est lessons of the war. They will
force the enemy to learn their trade
all over again. They would astound
tacticians IL their full details were
revealed, according to German Off
cials.
1t may effect q transformation OF
the entire character Of war.
In the meantime Germany has been
clearing, the whole country in front
of these new positions Here the
German forces will face an enemy
either hurriedly brought I'D and in
sufficiently supplied or one who has
come forward slowly because of
necessity of building up the country.
In. either event the enemy Will be at
disadvantage.

From Bisbee Fails

Bisbee. Ariz., August S.-A committee
appointed by the Arizona Federation OF
Labor to investigate the deportation OF
! more than 100 men from the Warren
copper mining district July u and labor
conditions in this camp at present, to-
day was refused admission to the dis
trict. The delegation was met at Forest
ranch, several miles from Bisbee, and
informed that any other than a legal
investigation was not wanted at this
time.
The Workmens Loyalty league and
the Citizens league of Bisbee denied all
connection with the affair." but it was
admitted that some members of each or
ganization participated III it.
Executive committees of both organi-
zations declared that the visitors were
coming with chips on their shoulders, -
and that inasmuch as the situation was
being investigated by the attorney gem
eral, no other investigation was needed.
The committees also passed a resolu-
ton, which, after stating that the speech
of one of the labor leaders In Clifton,
had placed the state federation "squarey
in sympathy with the Industrial Work
ers of the World" closed by stating that
I'VE reiterate that our stand is unalter-
ably opposed to the Industrial Workers
of the World and their sympathizers
and not against the State Federation of
Labor as such, but we refuse to be
blinded by the palpable fraud practiced
on legitimate and patriotic union labor
and declare that we will continue to
scrutinize the motives of any one who
desires to re-encumber the Warren dis
trict with Industrial Workers Of the
World and their kind"
Attorney General Wiley e. Jones, who
Is here investigating conditions, would
make no statement as to his intentions.
The labor committees returned to
Douglas.
