line only about twentyfour
hours. They reached it too
late to make an organized stand
there. The Allied pursuit could not
be checked. On Monday the British
were up to the west bank of the river
at Audenarde and above Tournal.
They had also driven to within four
miles Of Valenciennes.
Valenciennes fell yesterday. 1t was
the hinge Of the whole Schedule
Quesnoy- -Avesnes-TI position;
for the German line turned there
at sharp angle to the southeast to
cover the single railroad connection
left between the German armies in
Flanders and those fighting de-
laying battle east Of lie Ca1eau, in
the Guise- Disc River salient and in
the Hunding positions north Of the
Serre River and S5issonne. If Va
lenciennes could not be held. the
railroad would be lost, the Scheldt
River would be turned and Luden-
dorff's southern armies west of Sis
some, would be left up in the air.
But the German attempt to hold
it was only half-hearted. All west
ern Belgium was already lost when
the Lille Menin- Roulers line was
broken through. So was all the ter
ritory still in the hands of the Ger
mans in the northeastern corner of
France. The great industrial dis
trict of the north has now been
practically cleared. Lens, Cambria,
Douai, Lille, Tourcoing, Roubaix and
now Valenciennes, have been recov-
cred for service in the material re-
construction of France. The last
four cities are more or less intact.
No French town Of considerable size
is left under the German yoke.
Having lost the line OF the Scheldt.
the Germans must retire in Belgium
to north and south line covering
Antwerp, Brussels and Mons. From
Mons the new line will continue due
south to Maubeuge and thence south
by east to Hirson, where it will link
up with the positions to which the
southern German armies may re-
treat. From Ghent to Malines, half
way between Brussels and Antwerp,
vhe distance is thirty miles. The dis.
tancc from Audenarde to Brussels
is also thirty miles. But from Va
lenclennes due east to Mons it is
only twenty miles. The British are
already on the way to Mons, for
they advanced yesterday, in the big
eastern bend Of the Sche!dt north of
Valenciennes, to Conde. On the east
bank OF the river Mons is only
sixteen miles east OF Conde. From
the Allied positions east of LIE Cateau
1t is less than twenty miles down the
Sambre Valley to Maubeuge. So the
retreat in Belgium pivoting on Mons
will probably be accelerated. while
the retirement below Mons will he
slower, the rearguard defence ac-
commodating itself to the necessities
of Won Boehn's still unextricatcd
armies in the region of the Disc and
the Serre.
An interesting sidelight on Ger
man intentions in Belgium is
furnished in the letter just made
public in the Vatican organ in
Rome, the "Osservatore Romano" T.

by Baron Won der Lancken. chief Of

Day-Old Chicks Made -Four Day Trip.
Mrs. ]. A. Waters, one of Heppner's s
chicken fanciers, received shipment
of day old Notified Ancona chicks last
Saturday evening from somewhere
in Idaho" The chicks were one day
old when they started on their be-
lated journey, but by the time they
arrived in Heppner they had been in
this world four days. The casualties
were not large, but two or three Of
them dying while enroute, or shortly
after reaching their destination. This
trip would have ordinarily consumed
two days and the chicks as rule will
not live for a longer time on the ra-
tions provided by nature. Mrs. Wa
ters feels fortunate in receiving this
shipment of high grade poultry with
out greater loss, considering the cir
cumstances.

April II, 1918.
To the Editor:
Sir: On relinquishing my COM
mand of the Pacific Coast Division
OF the British and Canadian Recruit
ing Mission, take this opportusity to
thank you for your generous cooper
alton in giving our Mission publicity
from time to time. The work done
by your paper has been of inestim-
able value to our cause and | trust
you will treat my successor, Captain
F. l.. Goord, with the same courtesy
and consideration as you have accor-
ded me.
| feel this Is an opportune moment
to speak an encouraging word in the
face of what looks like disaster on the
Western Front, and would say that
either Army at any time, if they are
determined to break through a line,
can do so by concentrating a sufficient
number of men, without regard to
cost, and our victory is assured by the
fact of the number of German lives
it is costing to capture the small area
they have been fighting for.
A very good lesson is pointed out,
if one will only learn, and that is that
the strength of the Germans lies in
their aptitude to follow the dictates
of their Government, without ques-
ton. Germany is peopled by race
that is united in thought, word and
deed. Our people are from all parts
'of the world, and are made up Of
classes that think and act indepen-
IDENTIFY and in this Western country
particularly, we have little idea of
the immensity of the struggle that is
going on "Over There" ~| ..F>
Let every individual amongst us
ponder on the part he or she is play
ing in this gigantic conflict. 1t is all
very we'll to say, Il am only one and
my services will not amount to
much" Offer your services; stand
by like a man; cut out sQuabbling
and differences of political opinions
and iealousies of other men and join
III whole-hearted support of every f,-
fort your! Government is making to
win this war before 1t is brought
home to your doors. -" '''''
War problems are not always set
tied nowadays in halls or on the
streets; it is in the trenches and in
the fields, with the rifle and the hoe,
that the emancipation of mankind is
brought about.
Our forefathers died to uphold
freedom, Have we better example
to follow than that laid down by
them?
Again thanking you, Mr.. Editor,

Chicago Tribune: The lesson of
the German drive is organization.
No one can impeach the valor of the
British soldier. There was no Ger
man propaganda at work back of the
British lines. The preponderance Of
numbers thrown upon the British
front does not alone account for Ger
man success. The key to victory is
organization.
This is war of organized might,
a war Of machinery. war of prepare
ton. No nation can WELD its full
strength save by the most far reach
ing and thorough preparation.
1t is worse than futile to rely now
upon the elevation of our principles,
our purity of motives. our designs for
the federation of nations. our appeals
for universal peace founded upon law
and transcenqental justice.
Germany relies upon force. Her
will to conquer and to rule will sure.
ly prevail unless We oppose force
with force. The answer to her can
non is our cannon, to her organiza-
ton and forethought is our organ
ization and forethought. They are
the only answer.
In the name of Americas safety, in
the name of Americas honor, in the
name of Americas cause, Mr.. Presl
dent. organize the full strength OF
this great nation.
More than two years we driftei
toward the abyss without lifting a
finger to prepare. For a year we
have been at war, yet we are behind
in almost every major part of our
preparation. We are behind with our
ordnance. We are behind with our
food supply. We are behind with our
aircraft. We are behind with our
ships. Our allies have been calling
for months and we are not ready.
The chief cause is not hidden. 1t
should not be hidden from you. This
