" nv Towns Grow

Town growth IS apt to depend on
having product the demand for which
IS increasing. For instance. here is
the case of two towns that 20 years
ago were manufacturing shoes. One
turned out heavy, clumsy brogans. of
a style rapidly growing absolete. Ano-
other town of the same size kept more
closely up to the times, and produced
shoe of lighter and more attract
i've appearance.
The town that made old fashioned
brogans is now almost without anv
manufacturing industry. Nearly all
its little factories are now filed with
cobwebs. While the other place has
in two decades doubled in population.
This principle applies to all manu-
featuring communities, and in slight
ly different way to agricultural sec
tons also.
Thus a town depends very largely
on the alertness of its producing ele-
ments, in forecasting the future. IF
its industries can fix on some line for
which there is a demand, they are
certain to grow. The expansion will
come almost without effort. All they
have to do is to keep turning out a
dependable product, and the orders
keep piling in.
1t is not enough for producers to
keep turning out the same old thing
year after year. And if they depend

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. Sunday, Oct. 2O.-(By the Associated Press.) Roubaix and TOurcoing today celebrated their de- iiverance from the enemyy. The people were wild with emotional joy There were kisses, hugs and hand shakes for every British soldier. There was good reason, for BOubaix and Turcoing to celebrate. The swash- buckling Germans had gone, leaving in their wake as nuch ruin as they could do.
 ne inhabitants were 1o.. to work in vegetable gardens. but were not allowed to eat what they had grown. The Germans eXtorted money by eveE possible trick. One story was-told of how child had been killed by a Ger man soldier whom it had annoyed. The Germans simply helped them selves to anything they wanted, no matter who owned
 The roads outside arthronged witt; people bearing great banches of flow CTS in their arms which they press with kisses on every fighting man as he goes swinging past The roll O.. British rdums or the martial strains of the bagpipes bring forth cheers that can be heard for miles.

LINE OF ARGUMENT.
lSnecial to The Reviewl


 TUCSON, Ariz., Ouct. Z1.-Hearing of the argument on the demeurrer of Capt, Harry J. Wheeler, former sher- if of Cochise county, and A other prominent residents of Bisbee and Douglas, to an indictment charging them under four counts with a viola tion of Section 19 of the federal penal code in connection with the deporta- tions at Bisbee. on July 12, 1917, was begun in the United States district court here today before Judge William M Morrow of the circuit court of ap- peals for the Ninth circuit, who came here from San Francisco for the hear ing.
 "The statute under which the ac ton was brought makes it punish- able by not more than ten years inn prisonment to conspire to injure, op- press, threaten, or intimidate any cit izen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the constitution and laws of the United States.
 The argument was opened by Cliff ton E. Matthews of Bisbee of the firm of Ellinwood & Ross, counsel for all of the defendants except those in France. He argued that the right or privilege guaranteed by the constitu- ton or laws of the United States must be one secured against acts of indi- Tiduals and not one merely secured against state action; that the rights and privileges referred to in Section IA Of the constitution of the United States and secured thereby are only against state action anu not against individual acts; that the section has reference only to fundamental rights and immunities; that the rights claimed to have been violated were not created by the constitution of the United States and do not depend on the federal government for their ex- istence and protection; that a con spiracy to falsely imprison a citizen of the United States is not indictable under Section 19; that the right to remain unmolested in ones home is not right derived from the consti- tuition of the United States, but exist ed at common law long before its adoption, and that the section under which the action is brought is highly penal and doubtful words cannot be extended beyond their formal mean ing.
 Mir. Matthews was followed by William c. Fitts, special assistant at- torney general, representing the prose eution. Thomas E. Flynn, United States attorney for Arizona, will SUD- plement his argument.

 throw of military and autocratic pow CT in the empire.
 No one believes that an immediate cessation of hostilities is in sight. The opinion most generally held is that if MT. Wilson decides to make a reply, and if the entente governments agree, the only step possible at this time would be to sanction arrangements to be dictated by General Foch in the field for withdrawal of the Germans without further fighting. Such ar engagements, of course, would be con tingent upon guarantees of continued supremacy of the victorious allied armies and consequently virtually would mean surrender of the Ger mans
 The official view here so far has been that evacuation of invaded terri tory must be completed before there can be an armistice. Should President Wilson after consulting with the allies adhere to this view, the work of driv- ing the Germans to and across their own borders would proceed and the opportunity for fixing details which the new note suggests be brought about would come only through a request from the German lines under a white flag on the battle field
 Little importance is attached 10 the protests and denials in the note re- garding German brutality and ruthless destruction of property. The import ant thing is whether atrocities now stop. AS to an investigation by a neutral commission as suggested in the note the president indicated long ago that such investigations come to nothing except in connection with ar rangements for final peace.

beth sides of Solesmes the enemy, ad- vancing beyond our front lines, was brought to a standstill.
 On both sides of Le Cateau we maintained cur positions in general, after hard and fluctuating fighting Here the forty-fourth Brandenburg re- serve division especially distinguished itself. Owing to the stubbornness or cur infantry, effectively supported by the artillery, the enemy attacks which were delivered with large effectives in men and material, has thus failed on the whole of the front of twenty kilo- meters Q215) miles with the exception of limited local gains of ground.
 North of the Serre, fresh enemy at tacks were repulsed. On both sides of the Laon-Marle road we made a counter attack and cleared such parts of our new lines as were still in the hands of the enemy and also repulsed strong counter attacks.
 "To the west of the Aisne, east Prussian battalions and the 2S1st re- serves infantry regiment also recap tuTed their positions by a counter at tack and repulsed enemy attacks.
 ITO the east of Vouziers the enemy attempted by means Of continuation of his attacks to extend the local sue cesses which he obtained on October 19. His attacks failed, owing chiefly to a counter attack by the filth in fantry regiment and the stubborn de fense of the seventh company of the 24th Bavarian infantry regiment

necessary destruction of property by the retiring armies, military experts say that undoubtedly such armies are authorized under international law to work terrible havoc in evacuated ter ritory But there is one prime condi- tion to be met-all of this must be done with the sole purpose of damag- ing and retarding the pursuing army. Bridges may be destroyed, stores of food burned and even buildings which might shelter enemy troops. But it is not permitted to poison wells, to de stroy fruit trees or to loot and de- stroy private property which would be no use to either army, or, in fact to commit any of the acts of wantOn dev- iltry which are charged against the German armies.

HEAVY NIGHT FIeHTINe.

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN BELGIUM AND FRANCE, Oct. 21, Il a. m.-(By the Associated Press. )-In heavy fighting which proceeded throughout the night and continued today in a heavy rain, the Germans everywhere were driven still further eastward. In Belgium the allies are three miles from EeclOo and in the whole vast stretch between Courtrai and the Dutch border the British, French and Belgians are pushing the Germans before them, closing in to- ward Ghent, from which they now are less than seven miles.
 In the center of the battle area the British are on theewest bank of the Scheldt for more than ten miles, north of Tournai, in front of which city the Germans are resisting stubbornly with machine guns. Frontally the British have reached positions less than four miles from Valenciennes. Northwest of Valenciennes they have entered the great Vicoigne-Raismes forest. In the region northwest of Lille the British are pushing out in the general direc- tion of Lequesnoy, fighting every foot of the way.
 The Germans here and there in Bel gium have held out strongly in enor- nous concrete forts from which the guns had been removed. These forts were used by German machine gun ners and in some cases it required shells from heavy guns to crack them. More prisoners have been captured, the third army taking over 2,OO0 yes terday
