The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-07-26


There was little reminder OF the girl
of the mountains IN the ~stony-eyed
woman he had left sagged low by the
fire.
Once out in the open air. the king
of .Karnia drew a long breath. Inc
affair was v 1t had been unpleas-
ant. 1t was always unpleasant TO
break with a woman. But 1t was time.
He neither loved her 0 needed her.
Friendly relations between the w
copntries were established, and soon'
very soon, would be ratified by his
marriage.
1t was not of Olga Loschek, but OF
Hedwig that he thought, as his car
climbed swiftly to the lodge.

to the old, is not terrible. It is an

Every happy, indeed But we need
him here, too, for a while. You need
him and-I. So we will go and pray
to have him wait a little longer be-
fore he goes away. How about it?'
"Tll try. I'm not very good. 1 do a
good many things, you know"
Here, strangely enough, it was the
chancellor who fumbled for his hand
kerchief. A vision had come to him or
the two of them kneeling side by side
at EtZel. the little lad who was moi
very gOod,"' and he himself with his
long years behind him of such things
as I'LL a mans life. And because the
open door was not so far ahead for
him either, and because he believed i'm
plicitly in the great record within the
gate, he shook his shaggy head.
So the pilgrimage was arranged.
With due publicity, of course, and due
precaution for safety. BY train to the
foot of the mountains, and then on
foot for the ten miles to Etzel.
The crown prince went through his
preparation in a sort of rapt solemn
ity. So must the boy crusaders have
looked as, starting on their long jour-
ney, they faced south and east, toward
the far distant Sepulcher Of Our Lord.
The kings council went, the chancellor,
the mayor of the city, wearing the
great gold chain of his office around his
neck, and a handful of soldiers-a
simple pilgrimage and the more affect
ing. There were no streaming banners,
no magnificent vestments. The arch
bishop accompanied them, and 9 flag

Discomfort GROWS
BEHIND HUN LINES
TEUToN PEOPLES ARE WEARY
OF WAR BURDEN AND RUL.
ERs ARE oUARRELINc.

Washington.-Out of the smoke and
roar Of the great western battle come
official stories Of courage and daring
on the line of fire-and suffering and
growing discomfort among the Teu-
ton peoples behind 1t.
While the German soldiers, spurred
by promises Of peace after the giant
drive now under way, are yielding
their blood to the flashing Of Won Hin
denburg the people back home are be-
coming increasingly FESTIVE, diplomat
ic cables show.
The allied battlers, convinced that
they must carry the bitterest fighting
burden of the war until the great re-
serves of America reach their side, are
battling desperately. The Service of
death" performed by the gallant
French troops, who blazed away from
atop Mont KENNEL until wiped out by
the German hordes, is only one of the
many tales told in the cables. Dis
patches from Rome to Italian Ambasso-
dor Cellere told how two auxiliary Ital-
ian companies, suddenly attacked and
surrounded by Germans while engaged
in construction work in France, fought
with picks and shovels-their only
weapons-until they escaped to the
British lines.
Belgian cables announced the spec
tacular feat Of three aviators who en-
gagged 81 of the enemy, downed one,
scattered the others and returned
safely. Daring isolated raids by the
French, British, Belgians and Ameri-
cans are recounted as an indication Of
the bitter fighting now going on.
But while the German drive in Pr
cardy and Flanders has had its reward
at terrible cost, conditions back at
home" are not so good. Austria-Hun-
gary, Germany, Bulgaria and Turkey
are quarreling about expected spoils,
allied cables say.

GREAT BRITAIN TELLS UNITED

Washington.-Presiden Wilson has
received strong limitations from
Great Britain that the suggested ad.
dition Of $500, 900 to the existing
American army of 100000 will not
meet the demands for men In France.
This means that the schedule of in

ships to transport the soldiers can be
obtained. The president is giving the
matter his personal attention, and in
stead of resenting" the plain talk"
from abroad sent out a new order to

1t was also made clear that further
restrictions on trade between Italy

ranged in order to divert tonnage re-
quired for the troop service. Statistics
have been obtained by the. war trade
board to show that a considerable
quantity Of the wheat exported from
America to Italy has returned here in
the form Of spaghetti.
Minister Eckengren was asked to
urge every means of speeding up the
existing negotiations with Sweden for
a certain number of ships from that
country. Sweden had received a num-
Der Of concessions from the United
States and must have certain supplies
from this country.

The Americans found their position

places our troops, after passing

In other cases there were no trenches

The American lines generally are
about 200 to 400 yards apart and the

Costly Mistake on Plans Of Pleardy

Experts Believe Few Days

Washington.-Gen. Foch, generals.
simo of the allied armies, is taking
nothing for granted as to the ability
Of the Observation-Disclosures line to
hold. The crumpling up OF the British
fifth army, which at the outset Of the
German offensive guarded the gate.
way to the plains OF Picardy, carried
its lesson home.
While the people OF two continents
have been specializing anxiously as to
the whereabouts Of Foch and the inter-
allied army Of maneuver, 1t is learned
Authoritatively that Foch has not been
idle.
T~wenty-seyen lines of trenches, 1t
was disclosed, have been constructed
recently between the battle front In
Flanders and the city of Paris.
Foch, 1t was stated, determined, de-
spite the impatience of onlookers, to
attempt nothing in the way of a coun-
ter offensive until assured beyond
doubt that there existed between the
enemy and Paris an impenetrable line
Of defenses, every attack against
which would take from the Prussians
a frightful toll in blood.
Within the past few days, 1t is indi-
Gated in high quarters, the character
Of resistance being offered the enemy
around Ypres and other sections of
the line gives aso to believe that
the Germans are beginning to blunt
their swords on Foch's defenses.
Meanwhile, American experts, con-
fident that the crisis in the fighting
has been reached, express the belief
that the fighting Of the next few days
will probably determine the fate of
Foch as supreme commander and 9TH
or high commanders on the western
front.

Not the "Amexes" or "Sammies,"

That's the new sobriquet for tho
members Of the American nationa.

for a suitable name for Uncle Sans

no further attacks in this region. Gen,
Won Arnim is busy consolidating the
positions won and recognizing his
forces for a new drive against he
other hills held by the allies west OF
KENNEL.
The German commander will have
to bring up fresh troops for further
operations, for the casualties suffered
by the enemy were exceedingly large.
Proof of this was given by the dis
tressing sight on the battlefield over
which the %contending armies strug-
gled. During the attack by the enc
my one British brigade inflicted four
times as many losses as they them
selves suffered.
This proportion might not hold good
for the whole sector, but certainly the
German losses were excessive at many
points. At Locre, which the French
recaptured, and where the fighting
ragged fiercely, the number of German
dead was very large.
Gen. Won Arnim employed aboupt 10
divisions in his assaults, five of which
were fresh troops. This meant that
or a front Of about 10000 yards, be-
tween Dranoutre and the Ypres-Com-

100, 900 troops against them.
The French operations not only
drove the Germans from Locre, but
took Hospice and Locrehof farm, both
strong points lying to the southeast Of
the village Locre was one of the most
holly contested points along the front.
The allied attack south of Villers-
Bretonneux gave rise to very heavy
fighting. Some progress was made
toward retaining this position, which
the enemy held as a result Of the Ger
man push. The enemy in a counter
attack threw themselves against me

being able to get forward.
The British have nearly 900 German
prisoners in the cages as a result OF

also took several hundred prisoners In
