Three Defense
Systems Behind
Hindenburg Line

PARIS, Sept. 10.-There are three
German lines of defense behind the
Hindenburg line, the first parallel
ing it and the others providing for
retreats along wide fronts, accord
ing to an outline of the German de-
fense system printed by the Matin
today.
The first in the rear of the Hinden-
burg position, according to the news
paper, starts from the south of Ille
and parallels behind the regular at
an average of between three to six
miles. The second comprises line
running from Lille to Metz, the inter-
points of which the news
paper does not indicate. This line
would be about 1870 miles long.
Finally, the newspaper adds, there
is a fourth retreat line on which the
Germans are now vigorously work
ing. 1t runs from Valenciennes 20
miles west of Douai in southeast
erly directionto Givet, on the Meuse,
at the Belgian border. The front
thus indicated extends for about sixty
miles.

Germans Have Practically Retired
To the Old Hindenburg Line

NEW YORK Sept 11.-Except for a salient northeast of
St. Quentin and double salient north and south of La Fere
the Germans have retired practically to the old Hnden

mile or two of terrain remains be covered at places
before the Germans everywhere back the footsteps
that marked the starting place of their spring offensive But
for military purposes the allies have reganed practically all
the territory which Hndenburg swept this spring
Germanys manpower
The situation, therefore, confronting Hndenburg
is the mtary it at the end of last winter At
that time the German general staff decided the only way the
kaiser could win the would be to gain decisive victory
before Americas millions had begun to arrive in France
The attempt have been made is to have been
of the ghasies failures in history The relative strength
of the German and the AngoFrench armies has not been
changed in Germanys favor while the best of the German
shock troops lie in the cemeteries of Flanders Pcardy
and Champagne. At the time Americas second million
filing into France giving the allies every two months
many troops the Germans find for themselves in
a year.
The chief result of Hindenburgs fasco apart from
morale The ruin Of Hndenburgs reputation has
we'll started The Germans in reality entering the
phase of the under leadership which has proven
itself incompetent reckessy prodigal in its of Ger

German Retreat
Is At An End,
|. Says Hindenburg
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Unised Press Staff Correspondent.

PARIS, Sept. 11.-Once again the
allies stand face to face with the
Germans on almost the identical lines
where they stood throughout the
winter, awaiting the unloosening of
the great Teutonic offensive. Once
again, as it was last March, each day
is q day of waiting and suspense and
s.what will tomorrow bring?"
Today the British, French and
Americans are making their last re-
adjustment in front of the linden
burg line. The British menace Ar
mentieres, Lens, Douai and Cambria,
while the French threaten st. Quen-
tin. La Fere, st. Gobain, LaOn. Will
the allies keep up their drive and
win the Germans attempt to hold
their present positions? The next
sixty days must tell the tale. After
that. general winter will take hold
Of operations.
Foch continues in his role of a
human enigma. The only hint given
as to his intentions was when he
said the allied offensive would not
stop until victory had been won. This
statement IS elastic, as he probably
intended il to be. It may mean an
intense attack, throwing the Ger

mans back from the Hindenburg line
this autumn, or it may mean merely
harassing them until the new cam
paign season opens in the spring.
Hindenburg, however, announces
that his retreat is at an end. This
obviously means he intends to stick
where he is. The Berlin Vorwaerts,
in an article that looks as if it had
been inspired, declares the Germans
intend to fight on the defensive. Is
this sand, purposely thrown into the
allies eyes, or is the statement sim
cere? Heretofore the Germans have
ended each fighting season with some
dazzling coup. scheduled to give the
German people courage to face the
privations of winter. Hindenburg af-
firms the country is very gloomy.

U. G. HENDRICKSON:
Passes Over Divide Wednesday
of Last Week.

Last Wednesday morning about two
thirty, deaths slumbers enshrouded
the cot of q Green Hendrickson,
prominent Casey Creek citizen and
claimed him as his own. Mr.. Hend-
rickson had been suffering for about
two weeks, and owing to his advanced
age, hope for his recovery was aband-
oned and he gradually sank until the
end came peacefully to close his life's
history. Mr.. Hendrickson's life is too
we'll known for US to add word of
beauty or eioquence, as it was full of
deeds we'll done for his Master, noble
impulses prompted with unseltishness
and death proved only portal for his
entrance into a nobler and better
sphere He was devout member of
the Christian church, a strong factor
for good and his community and
county is made poorer in his death.
His first marriage was to Miss
Marian Jane Sanders and to this
Union were born four children. one
son died several years ago and four
daughters survive; Mesdames Mollie
Keiger, Ella Bland and Myrtle Brum-
ley of Kansas and Mrs Elizabeth Nit
! chell of Oklahoma. There were no
children born to his second wife who
was Mrs. Elizabeth Sanders After
her death he married Mrs Woodr UNI
