Foch's Blows
Falling Fast In
Many Places
BY J. w. r. MASON,
United Press War Expert.


NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Marshal
Foch's blows are now falling so fast
and so deftly at so many places along
the western front that Won Hinden-
burg is being entangled in a network
of local operations, any one of which
threatens to bring about a major dis
aster to the German army.
Yesterday General Byng started
work on a salient in the direction of
Bapaume; last night sixty miles away,
the western side of the Vesle salient
was practically completed today, the
British have begun a new wedge-like
drive north of the Somme, not far
from the Bapaume operations; and all
the while the French are conducting
squeeze operations at the Lassigny
angle, midway between the Somme
and the Vesle fronts.
At no time since the war began
have local operations in the west been
carried on so continuously and with
such persistent success as now. Nor
have the possibilities Of a major allied
success ever before been so threat
ening to Won Hindenburg. The de-
velopment of the western side of the
Vesle pocket is d serious danger to
the famous Chemin des Danes de-
fenses, which are now threatened
with flank, and rear fire. At the
same time, the southern sector Of the
line is insecure.
Farther north, the halt in General
Byng's attack toward Bapaume is
strictly in accord With the strategic
plans of the allies. The present OPP
erations are in no sense a major of.
fensive, and are being concentrated
under new and highly successful tao
tical direction for minimizing the al
lies casualties. A resumption Of the
Bapaume drive will occur at the right
Marshal Foch is demonstrating a
ability for uniting his
seemingly independent operations,
an dior suddenly uncovering his COM
pleted results in one direction, when
attention is concentrated elsewhere.
Thus, a fortnight ago, Marshal Foch |
stopped operations along
he Vesle and the British began their
Picardy drive, which resulted in the
recovery of the Montdidier salient
But today the German positions
north of the Vesle are again threat
sned by the salient, whose western
iank has suddenly developed north
If scissors.
All the successes during the last
fortnight have been accomplished
without the aid of the Americans.
That fact is the most menacing Won
has to face.
If Marshal Foch can do these
hings without the Americans, what
an he do with them? There is no
nswer to this question for the kaiser
Except Germany's defeat.

Captive Buck Tries
To Impale Small Boy

Alamogordo, N. NJ, Feb. 25.-Tht
buck deer in the city park, escaping
when the wind blew open the gate
of the animal pen, attacked the
small son of Bert Trammeli, aged
about 6. The boy was knocked
down. Fortunately he lay between
the antlers of the buck, and was
not gored, though the animal tried to
impale him on his horns. J. Y,
Latham, animal keeper, drew a re
volver and fired at the buck. He
shot to kill, but evidently the bullet
went high, penetrating The bucks
shoulder. The animal jumped into
the air and ran away from the boy.
He is pretty lame, but will recover.
The boy was unhurt.
The old buck that was shipped
away recently had gained some no
toriety as a fighter and had attacked
a number Of people when he could
get the opportunity. The buck who
made the attack on the boy is also
getting quite cross and will fight
through the fence at people who
come up. A few weeks ago while
Mr.. Latham was in the enclosure the
buck attacked him. Mr.. Latham went
out and got a big club and conclud-
ed the fight with him with the re-
suit that the deer backed off and
has been rather respectful to his
keeper yer since.

Given Blame for Almost Fatal Row.

Albuquerque, N. M Feb. 26.--Ten
dollars and costs was the penalty paid
by Juan Castillo for stabbing and al
most killing P. Osuna here several
weeks ago. Osuna appeared in court
and asked that the charge of assault
with intent to kill be dropped. The

and Castillo did not know what he was
doing when he stabbed Osuna.
Osuna was stabbed with q ~two-edged
dagger that sank into his breast so
deep the point punctured the covering
of his heart. His condition was SO
p~recarious that It was regarded as too
dangerous to move him to the hospital.
and he was kept on the bed where he
lay when stabbed. Next day he raj
lied and gained SO much strength he
was taken to st. Jpseph's hospital. He
continued to recover, and in a few

ALBUQUERQUE PRICES
ON COAL ARE UPHELD

Albuquerque. N. NJ, Feb. 27.-The
state fuel administration today re-
ceived a recomm endation from the
local fuel committee to allow the
present prices charged by retail coal
dealers to, remain unchanged until
the retailers can buy coal themselves
at a lower rate than they pay now.
After considering reports from all
but one of the retailers, the local
committee decided yesterday that
none Of the dealers was getting more
than a fair profit and that a reduc-
ton in prices would work injustice.
The retailers in their reports gave
information as to the cost Of coal
shipped here, the cost of doing bust
ness, the amount of their sales, and
the profits made in 1917. The &C.
ports were prepared under oath
which made the dealers submitting
them liable to a fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for two years for mis-
statement.
The committee meeting was at
by J. r. Herndon, chairman,
and Dennis Mcdonald. J. M, Ray

In order to be eligible for this ap-

the committee on wal claims, on
which he has served since he has
been in congress. His desire was to
concentrate his efforts on the work
with which he was most familiar and
in which he could accomplish most
for his constituents,
The election OF Congressman Wal
ton to the committee on irrigation OF
arid lands was by the unanimous
choice Of the Democratic caucus and
emphasizes the recognition that has
been accorded to him by his col
leagues in the lower house. Since
his services as a congressman began,
the New Mexican has deemed it wise
to leave the "flashy and snowy
stunts" to those who found that sort
Of stuff c%ongenial, and devote himself
to the task that involved hard work
and efficient service; and the sue
cess which has attended his efforts
in this direction is shown by the fact
that he is today recognized as N
Of the most effective workers in con

In addition to his committee mem
bership on public lands, Indian at
and irrigation, Mr.. Walton has
been particularly fortunate in having
been advanced to a chairmanship,
that OF the committee on expendi-
