sea, two salients are developing. The first has it's apex along the Laon front, where the enemy still clings to St Gobain forest and part of the Chemin- des-Dames ridge. The second has its greatest depth before Lens Between these two pockets, the Anglo American drive, supplemented by the French ad- vance east of St. Quentin, has thrust Ii blunt wedge which not only has en- sulfed Cambrai, but has torn its way through the whole Hindenburg defense zona into open country beyond. II can strike either north or south at need to squeeze the pocket on either side. or can be carried ahead to smash through vital communication lines. ! On the north, the British force press ling in on Lille from the west and north forms a northern jaw of possible pin lcer movement against the whole Douat salient. The Germans began a retire. l1ent on the ns-Armentieres front sometime ago, which they have checked. fearing probably the envelopment of 1 tbeIr Douai front unless that also could | be relieved simultaneously. The cap lt ture of Cambrai now threatens this front from the south as well and it Is believed that the enemy must have Immediately out of the whole Lille- Douai region.

To the southeast, the French are across the Afsne and are turning the G11ff, aff | ther east with the American second di- lvision aiding.
 1 The Suippe line offers little hope of prolonged resistance, as it is supported lby few strong hill positions and the Ioccupation of the Aisne valley in the

 would leave the enemy along the front in St. Gobain forest and the heights to
 the southeast in a difficult position be- tween the Disc and Aisne lines. GREAT TRAP WAITING

No Movies Last Sunday

Mr.. and Mrs. Briel with their
son, Robert, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. Lister went auto riding
last Sunday afternoon. 1t was
not a JOY ride, nor a pleasure
trip. 1t was a walk-ride.
Mr.. Briel is the mar who fur
nishes the movies" at the Star
theater. He lost mis- way some
where near Bedrock. He says
that Ed. Head directed him
wrong. Anyway his car could
not pull the hills and he burned
up all the oil, gas and water in
his car in his endeavor to get
home to show those movies.
When he found that his car
wouldn't go he left his folks on
the prairie and walked six miles
to a ranch house for help. He
met Mr.. Winslow, partner of
Love Jones, and told how he
must get back to town to show
those movies" Winslow, will
ing to help, said, Eyes, hop in,
I'll get you to town." He sped
up his little old wagon so fast
that he burnt all the gasoline in
her and when he was within two
miles of town she stopped-out
of gasoline. Now wouldn't that
jar you! But Briel, undaunted,
hit the road he must show
those movies" Darkness out
ran him, however, and when he
arrived in Lordsburg the crowd
had come and gone! That's the
reason we had no movies Sunday
night.
But who put the links" on
Briel? Was it Ed. Head, Cauth-
en- & Connors' bad road, or the
Maxwell car? We hazard the
guess that it was the tight rope
walker who did his stunts in the
air in front of Briefs theater to
his hearts content and to his
pockets satisfaction, for he got
most of the money intended for
Briefs show.
