Salem is ahead just two grain sacks az
the result of little adventure last ey-
ening. 1t seems several parties have
been stealing his melons lately and last
night Gee Gum decided to do a little
watching. Early this morning he dis
covered two thieves leaving his melon
patch with two we'll filled grain sacks
He went after them with a shot gun
and as the running was not good with
the heavy load Of melons, they were
obliged to drop everything and beat
it for the tall timber, leaving the mel
ons and the two grain sacks they had
so thoughtfully brought along.

BLOODY FIGHT ON
MEXICAN BORDER
TWO AMERICANS KILLED AND %
WOUNDED-MORE THAN 500
AMERICANS ENGAGED.
STARTS OVER TRIVIAL AFFAIR
Mayor of Noeales, Sonora, Reported
To Have Been Killed, But His
Death Has Not Been
Confirmed.

Nogales, Ariz. = Two Americans
We're killed, 20 wounded and more
than 500 American troops were en-
gagged for one and one-half hours on
the border here during a skirmish be-
tween American troops and Mexi-
cans.
While the casualties on the Mexi-
can side of the border were not
known, it was estimated that 100 had
been killed by fire from the American
side, While at least twice this number,
including a number of civilians, were
wounded. 1t was reported that the
mayor of Nogales, Sonora, was killei,
but this was not confirmed.
The fighting followed the alleged
efforts of Mexican custom official
to smuggle a countryman across the
boundary into the United States. An
American sentry attempted to stop
him. Two Mexicans fired at the SEN
try across the street, striking him in
the right arm. The fire was returned
by American patrols and after Mexi-
cans had rushed from nearby build
ings and started shooting across the
line from behind buildings and walls.
the firing became general.
Reinforcements from an infantry
regiment and a negro cavalry regi-
| ment were rushed te the border and
took up combat positions. 1t was es-
timated that more than 800 American
| soldiers and at least SO civilians par
ticipated in the shooting. 1t was re-
ported that detachment of cavalry
crossed the border in pursuit of the
Mexicans, but this was not confirmed.

civilians were ordered to remain i'll

HAIG DEALS BLOW
EAST OF ARRAS
ALL ALONG THE FRONT BRITISH
HAVE ADVANCED, AT SOME
PLACES TWO MILES.
With the French Army

WIN the french ARMY
While the Germans were defending
themselves against the attacks of the
British and French armies from the
Ancre river to the region of scissors,
Field Marshal Haig struck another
surprise over new front north of
the old battle zone. The new often
sive was launched from the east of
Arras on the Scarpe river and south
ward to the Cojeul. All along the
front the British pressed forward, at
some places to depth of more than
two miles, and captured half dozen
or more villages, among them Mon
chy-le-Preux, Guemappe and Wan
court.
Across the Cojeul the new British
attacks on the old battle front brought
them to the villages of Mory and St.
Leger and, further south to the
small town of Favreuil, one and a
half miles northeast of Bapaume,
from which the British pressed east
ward about a mile. Further south the
British pressed eastward about a
mile. Further south the British are
reported unofficially to have reached
the western outskirts of Thielloy in
the nipper movement they are carry
ing out against Bapaume. With
Haig's men now standing well within
gun range of the town, it seems likely
that the Germans will be forced TO
evacuate Bapaume in short order.
Additional gains also have been
made by the British east of Albert
and on both sides of the Somme riv-
er. In fact, notwithstanding the eff
forts of the Germans through the use
OF large achievements to hold them
in check, the British and French all
along the line from Albert to Sois-
sons have materially bettered their
positions and carried further forward
their plan of making the Picardy bat
tie ground untenable for the enemy.
The French again are hammering
away at the environs of Roye, one
of the strong points Of the Somme-
Disc front, the capture of which
doubtless would cause the giving up
by the enemy of the entire salient
from the Somme in the north 10
Noyon. Fresnoy-les-R oye to the north
and st. Mard to the south of Roye
both have been captured by the
French. despite the desperate re-
sistaree Of the Germans, and Roye,

Of the line in an enveloping move

taken by the French in the opera

ATTITUDE OF GERMAN
OFFICERS CHANGED
CLAIMS GERMANY ENTERED WAR
WITH ENTHUSIASM. BUT THIS
HAS DISAPPEARED.

British Army Headquarters In
France.-The demeanor of hundreds
of German officers taken prisoner re
Gently is in striking contrast with the
attitude of officers captured during
the British retreat last spring Then
German officer prisoners were AFRO
CANT and meant to crush the British
to earth, but now they are depressed
and very anxious. They appear very
willing to talk and the tenor of their
conversation may be summed up as
follows:
They say Germany entered the war
with enthusiasm, but this has long
since disappeared and the struggle
has now become an economic one,
with Great Britain
They admit that Germany is in
practically hopeless condition, both
economically and from the manpower
point of view and ask whether Ger
many sufficiently reduced to be no
longer dangerous trade rival or
whether the allies intend to crush her
altogether In the latter case. they
say, Germany will be forced to fight
to the last, but they make no erort
to conceal their impression of what
this means for the fatherland
They say they believe there is ev-
cry disposition to evacuate Belgium
and Northern France, and even nego-
tiate for the retention or evacuation
of Alsace Lorraine
They are generally unanimous in
agreeing that exactions thus far made
and the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty
were great mistakes, but think they
cannot withdraw from Russia in the
present condition of affairs there
They are aware that the American
army now has assumed very formid-
able proportions and there is a gem
eral admission of the seriousness OF
this factor.
The submarine campaign they can
not refer to without gestures Of i'm
patience.
Captured noncommissioned officers
attribute recent German defeats TO
the inetficiency of their air service
and more especially to the inexper-
ince and lack of stamina of the lat
est recruits, who are most inadequate
" drilled and trained and who are
physically incapable of sustaining the
heavy strain of defensive warfare.
The mere presence of these new re-
cruits, they say, produces in COM
pany a demoralizing effect upon the
older men, because it indicates to
what straits Germany must be reduc-
ed to employ such poor material.

In the same time the allies have
taken from the Germans 1900 can
non Of the field gun caliber and
