CBy Review Leased Wire)
After three weeks prepaI alton in the
Somme, during which time they
launched an offensive in Flanders, the
Germans have resumed hammering at
the front door of Amiens. For days
there has been heavy artillery firing
along the northern sectors of the
Somme salient and finally the German
infantry began their attempts to ad-
vance on the line passinge Villers-
Bretonneux, Hangard, Hailles and
Castel.
The first attacks were repulsed but
subsequent attacks conferred about
Villers- Bretonneux, have caused a
British withdrawal from this village
according TO a report from Field Mar
shall Haig. This marks German gain
of about a mile.
German Report Silent
Villers-B rettuneux, about II miles
directly east of Amiens, is on the
northern end of the latest fighting
front. 1t is situated between the
Somme and Luce rivers, and while 1t
is fanked on the south by low lying
ground it is backed by rolling hills
to the west and northwest.
The fighting on the rest of the front
where the Germans have resumed
their drive toward the allied base of
supplies in Northern France has not,
so far as known, resulted in any no
table retirement on the part of the
allies.
The German official report issued
on wednesday was silent as to events
in this sector of the front.
An attack on this particular part OF
the line in the Somme region had been
expected and it is probable that prep
arations to meet it had been made.
The British lines held frm in this
region during the last days of the
initial drive while the Germans were
able TO forge ahead further south I'M
Il they reached the village of Castei,
about three miles from the railroad
running TO Paris from Amiens. Re
Gently a French counter offensive at
Castel won back considerable ground
and 1t was evident that unless the line
further north could be advanced mate
rally the Germans had little chance
TO make important gains in their oper-
'ations to the south of Amiens.
This new drive has been made at
the same time that another blow has
been struck at the British and French
lines northwest of Ypres. savage
lighting is reported at various points
along the line from Bailleul to Mer-
Vile. and Berlin claims that heights
to the northeast of Bailleuel have been
stormed.
on the front in France. with the
exception of the Somme salient. there
has been little fighting of an unusual
nature.
The situation between Germany aud
Holland still is obscure.

And now the Germans, instigators and
first users of poison gas on the battlefield,
signify that they are willing to have this
terrible weapon eliminated from the war.
There is reason. There always reason
for what the German does in war, and it is
always a reason for the German In the
first place, the allies have developed gases
greater in volume and more deadly than
the German brand, for the reason that the
allies have greater fields of raw products
from which to develop these fumes Again,
rubber, an imperative necessity for, effec-
tive gas masks, is deadly scarce in Ger
many. Again still, the winds of Picardy
and Flanders, so vital to successful gas at
tack, blow three-fourths of the time from
the west to the east Hence the allies have
a three to one advantage in using gas. Of
course Germany wishes. now that the poi
son cup is pressed to her own lips, to elm
mate this poison from the deadly game of
war And in the matter of air raids Upon
towns and cities, the British, while not say
ing much about it, have exacted full toll
for the London raids And now the Ger
man wishes an agreement 10 stop air raids
upon defenseless communities. He would

ever since Attilla the Hun was checked at
Chalons. But this German must drink the
dregs from his own cup before it is placed
again upon the table Thus may he hest
tate long before he mixes again such a ter
rible brewage.

LIBERTY BOND HONOR ROLL
" " u Y u ~ " %
HELPING HALT HUN HORDESI

Railroad men of the Warren Dis
trict, employees OF the HI Paso a
/ southwestern systems, have establish
ed a record that is hard to equal in the
third Liberty doan bond drive. With
more than seventy employees of the
company locally subscribing for bonds,
the offices have recorded about 80 per
cent The remaining few who have
not purchased bonds nave been forced
10 decline, one because OF sickness at
nome, and others because of their
heavy subscriptions TO the past issues.
The list Of purchasers is included at
the lead of the Honor Roll for today.
II is a list of which the local rail
readers may well be proud, as II rep
resents a response to the call Of the
country unequalled by any organiza-
ton OF the district. Total suDscrip-
lions OF the railroaders amounted on
this occasion to $3.50.
The intensive drive in this district
yesterday continued with good results.
Committees were calling on several
residents yesterday afternoon who
have heretofore refused to purchase
bonds. One of these committees re-
ported that in every instance where
the second call was made, at least 500
in bonds was sold and that in some
instances as high as $500 was sold. In
Montenegro boarding house one
committeeman secured the subscrip-
tions of upward of fifteen foreigners
working in the mines Of the district.
Reports TO date indicate that this
district will have gone well over the
top before the Liberty Day celebration
Friday, and that the occasion can be
made dual demonstration in all prob
abilities. Committees working in the
residence districts have reported dur
ing the past two days continued good
results in the rounding up of the final
residents and in the making of second
or return calls.
Following is another list OF Warren
District residents who have won places
on the honor roll by purchasing bonds,

There can be no doubt that the Ger
mans suffered their severest losses of the
war for any single day in their vain attack
in massed waves upon Givenchy. That was
last Thursday, and as a result of the dread
full slaughter of the British gunfire there
has been no infantry actions since that
time In fact, as direct result of that dis
astrous attack, it is declared that Gen
Ludendorff, the real head of the German
armies, has ordered that no more massed
attacks be made, as they are too costly. A
week of inaction on the northern front of
course gives the British plenty of time to
bring up reserve troops and strengthen
their lines Il would seem that the German
has failed in his northern drive even as he
failed on the Somme before Amiens Gen.
Foch' strategy Of holding his lines with the
least number of troops possible and hoard
ing his reserves has been upheld by the re-
suits. But that either the Germans or the
allies will dig in and resort again to trench
warfare upon the present fighting lines is
not to be considered for moment An Of
fcnsive or a counter stroke may be ex-
pccted any day Certainly another great
German effort may be looked for, either
north Or south of Arras and the flmous

Hats Off TO the Teachers
of Arizona

Tuscon Star: The teachers of Arizona
showed COURAGEOUS spirit and loyal de-
votion to principle when they, assembled
as the Arizona Teachers Association, in an
nual convention, elected as their president
and leader the man who Hunt refused to
grant public hearing of his case after the
board of trustees of the Flagstaff Normal
School, appointed by the governor, had dis
charged him. The charges against this man
DIR. R. H. Blome-were indefinite
Charges of pro-Germanism, but they were
not any more specific or material or real
than the governor reason for refusing to
grant the Inundated educator a hearing 1t
is an admission that the same element
(whose actual existence we doubt to
which the board of trustees, state board,
knuckled when they discharged Blome,
prevents the governor from giving him the
elemental justice of hearing at Flagstaff
The action of the teachers, the rank and
file of the educational system of the state,
is fresh evidence that those who would
comprehend the educational institutions of
the state within any partys political ma
chinery, must contend with the Swiss
Guard, the teachers, who stand guard over
the temples of learning
The action of the teachers was courage
Gus. They have braved reprisals by local
politicians who take orders and largess
from higher up. But separate intimately
concerned though they are, the action
which they took in convention but repre-
sents the sentiment of large majority of
the people of the state 1t cralified the issue
in the case.
We have heard it said that, whatever
the merits of the case of Dr. Blome, or its
dement's, so strong is the political antagon-
ism to Hunt that he would have been &C
cused in any event of meddling with the af-
fairs of the educational institution; in other
words whatever Hunt might have done
would have been criticized by his political
opponents. There is an undeniably lively
opposition, an opposition that overlooks no
strategical opportunity, but the stand of
the rank and file of the teachers of the State
has lifted the Blome case to level high out
of the mire of politics, and it is no longer
possible for the governor and his Flagstaff
board to ignore public feeling in the matter.
What the teachers did was to demand
of the governor in the name Of fair-dealing
and principle, the hearing which Dr. Blome
has asked; and to declare that the charges,
so-called, against Blome were of charac-
ter to deny the justice of the Flagstaff
boards action. Simple justice cannot &C
cept less.

A bad beginning often makes good
ending The new board of regents of the
state university started out with stormy
sessions and acrimonious debates over mat
tiers that should never even have been dis
cussed or considered for the good of the
institution. But these regents came
through clean the other day when they re-
tanned President Won Klein-Smid in his
place at an increased salary. Some of the
Hunt faction had started out to get Won
KleinSmid just because he is too big man
to play petty politics with them. That
they changed their mind is to their credit
at least. The university president is the
type of man Arizona, the young and new
state, needs to help build her future great
ness.

! champion. These tactics earned him
! first blood, which was awarded to
| him by the referee in the eighth
| round, when smash opened a cut
| behind Sulliyan's ear, and another
cut him over the eye. Throughout
| the mill, after this, a slight trickle
of crimson ran down Sullivans face.
The blood finally became matted in
his mustache, but he obstinately re-
fused to have it removed.
At the beginning of the fight Sui
livan had treated Mitchell with con
tempt, but when the plucky English.
man fought on and on after taking
Sullivan's blows, the contempt turn
ed for a time to admiration and Sui
livan whispered at the end of the
fifth round that he was going to let
Charley stay awhile. He never made
greater mistake, for Mitchell was
out-boxing and out-gen eraling the
champion.
As the twelfth round started cold
rain and sleet began to fall. A sharp
wind was blowing directly into Sui
livan's face, and this fact hurt him
badly. Mitchell had won the toss for
corners and took the corner which
placed his back to the sun Thus,
Sullivan was at a slight disadvantage
all along. His right arm became
swollen from constant hammering.
His wrist had been broken and was
paining him intensely. But he fought
on through courage.
AS the fight progressed and the
cold rain began to have it's effect.
Sullivan's lack of condition became
more and more noticeable He shiv-
cred as he fought and his teeth chat
tered, but his iron heart would not
give up. He breathed hard through
out.
AS the thirty-ninth round approach
ed 1t was apparent both fighters were
beaten and could continue no longer.
Over the protests Of Sullivan's hand
iers, Sullivan himself, and even
Mitchell, the referee stopped the bout
and called it a draw. One of Mitch
ellis admirers dashed at the referee
with a bottle appraised and tried to
brain him with it, but was stopped by
others. Another flung himself down
in Sullivan's corner and wept. The
champion himself, his arms folded
across his breast, said nothing, but
scowled at Mitchell and the referee.

CHAPTER XVIII

Sullivan offered to bet 500 pounds
on himself before the battle started
Dllty there were no takers. Their
sMitchelPs men got their money into
action and an offer to place 5000
pounds on the Englishman was left
wanting. Odds about the ring, how.
ever, We're to l ON Sullivan.
1t had been rumored about the
Tingside that Sullivan would not DC
allowed to win, that friends of Mitch
ellis would start a rough house and
break up the proceedings if it became
impossible for the English gladiator
TO continue without being hopelessly
beaten. These threats may have
been made OF thin air, but Sullivan's
hackers rallied circle of friends
who passed the word around that if
anything started, shooting would fol-
low.
The fight began shortly after
o'clock. 1t was evident from the
very first that Mitchell was In the
ring for one purpose-to continue the
fight until darkness or something else
should intervene. He went to grass
at every opportunity, and at times
legged it in advance of the champion,
With Sullivan in hot pursuit. Many
push at the hands of the champion,
and it was claimed several times thai
he went down when not pushed.
These claims of foul, however, were
not allowed by the referee. Sullivan
grew exasperated several times dur
ing the bout and, and, standing sullen-
( ~ in the middle of the ring, called to
Mitchell to come on and fight, Sulli-
van wore scowl most of the time,
MitchelIs face was wreathed in
smiles
Dominick McCaffery, Charles
Dougherty, Billy Porter and Arthur
Magnuss were in Sullivan's corner at
the opening of the battle.
The first round terminated when
Sullivan's right hand, smashing out at
Mitchell, barely touched him. Mitch
ell went down. A right hand smash
that landed fairly, whirled the Eng
ishman to the ground in the second.
In the third round Mitchell opened
up with bis running and Sullivan
asked him to desist-
Every round was practically like
this, except for the fact that Mitchell
