Paris. Oct. 9.--Forced from Cam
brai. one OF the German strong po-
sitions OF the Hlndenburg system,
the Germans are being driven back
toward the French frontier.
The Germans have now apparent
ly lost the Hindenburg line from
Cambrai to st. Quentin. General
Haig has driven the gigantic salient.
based on Cambrai and st. Quentin
into the enemy lines. Even II the
offensive does not assume larger
proportions, this Is great menace
TO Laon and the lille positions.
It seems possible that the Ger
mans will soon withdraw from Laon
massif, as the place is being out
thanked. The great offensive seems
to have reached its climax and the
next few days may witness epochal
events In the history OF the great
war.
The allies In Palestine In the re-
gion OF Damascus scored another
success and captured many prisoners
and much booty.

was committed was May 25th, 1918,
so 1t is alleged. The girl in question
is now barely 16 years Of age. She
appeared here yesterday and made
the complaint and Sheriff Quine
went to Glendale last night and
served the warrant and brought
Cline to this city for trial.
There has been quite lot Of talk
regarding the way he has conducted
himself about Glendale for the past
two or three years, and this case has
caused no great surprise there. ac-
cording to reports.
He will probably be bound over to
await hearing before the grand
jury at the next term of court

 Delegate SulZer was one of those who took an early interest in the subject, which was discussed from time to time by the members of Con gress-Senators and Representatives from the gold mining States, and at last MT. Sulzer secured the atten- tion and interest of the Secretary of the Treasury in the premises.
 It is conceded that unless some thing is done the gold output of the United States this year will be much reduced from normal. It is urged by the Secretary of the Treasury that it is very greatly desired that the gold output be held up to the standard or increased.

Facts About Venice tor
 Which Austria Is Styiviue

Twice attempts were made to overthrow the government of Venice which had become oligarchic. This had the effect of weakening the pow CT of the aristocracy. The position of the Doge which had been all pow erful remained the place of highest honour but it carried with 1t least weight This was in 1885.
 Trade wars were waged contin- tally between Genoa and Venice. The Genoese were successful in taking Constantinople from Venice. Final y Venice lost her fleet to the Gen. oese in 1854 and the Lord of Milan arranged a peace in 1855.
 Tn final struggle for the suprem- acy of the Mediterranean Genoa and Venice ciashed once more. First Genoa laid siege to Venice. then by stroke of naval genius the Vener -ians lifted the siege and then trap ping the Genonese forced them to surrender after long siege Venice then became undisputed mistress of the Mediterranean.
 Through several wars Venice main tained her supremacy on sea and H. nally on land until she was defeated by the European powers, the church | and small States of Italy who had 1 combined on account of jealousy, in 1 151O. The Allies were thus given control of all of her territory down
 to the edge of the lagoon. Between 1499 and 1716 Venice went
 to war four times with the Turks, l each time losing some of her mari. l time territory. "
 Venice, by her resistance to the | claims of the Curia Romano, ad. vanced by the Pope, won the es- | teem of the European sovereigns.
 Tho chief joy of her declining
 years was undoubtedly her splendid
 art. The chief characteristic of
 Venice during these years was that
 she became the great pleasure city | of Europe. She remained a repub- lie until taken by Napoleon at the time of the French revolution. She then passed from France to Aus. 1 tria, back to France then to Aus
 tria, maintained a provincial govern l ment for short time, until in 1886 the defeat of the Austrians by the
 Prussians led to the incorporation
 of Venice in United Italy Venice is noted for her wonderful
 churches, palaces and library, built
 during the Renaissance, her statuary
 monuments and paintings. <H

BELLS SISTER
 GOES TO FRANCE.
 WITH RED CROSS

J., w. Bell, Clerk of the United States District Court, has received word that his sister, Miss Marie Bell, has left for France where she will be connected with a Red Cross unit as a nurse.
 The Fremont, Neb, Herald con tains the following concerning it:
 Miss Marie Bell, daughter of James D. Bell, of Fremont, is now in New York City with Base Hospi- tai Unit No 29, organized at Den yer, Colorado. They are being out fitted this week and expect to go across at an early date.
 Miss Bell was born and raised in Fremont. She was a member of the High School class of 1903, and was graduated from Fremont college in both the 1904 and 1906 classes, She taught school here two years and afterwards went to Ohio where. in time, she was graduated from another. college. Then interested in teaching, she was at Oak Park, H., and just about as she was to obtain a masters degree at the University of Chicago, her health failed. Going thence to Colorado, she became in- terested in Red Cross work, and aided in the organization Of the hos pital corps with which she Is now associated. On the organization be- ing completed, she was appointed private secretary to the chief nurse, and goes in that capacity to France.
 Miss Bell had anticipated visit with her father here, on passing through, but hurry up call came for her from New York and with others of the hospital stan. she was obliged to go east via St. Louis"

 "In the Government native schools, Juneau Chapter, in coop eration with Government school teachers, has established the Junior Red Cross, and with the native school as the native community center, has likewise organized Se- nior Red Cross auxiliaries in al- most every native village within the Jurisdiction of Juneau Chapter.

workable system by which the Gov ernment could aid gold miners to stimulate the gold production of the country. It has been suggested that bonuses of some sort might be de vised, or that income taxes on gold miners might be remitted, or some other plan devised that would serve the purpose. Local gold producers, bankers and others are now consid ering the proposition with the pur- pose fin view of suggesting workable plans.

 Labor Shortage Causes Difficulty It is admitted that the principal cause of the reduction of the gold production on Gastineau Channel is the shortage of labor. The developed mines here are working at about one-third of their capacity because of their inability to get men to dc better. The indications now are that the gold output of the developed Gastineau Channel mines will be short of what it wohld be if they could get all the men they need by from between $4.OOO,0O0 and $5,00O, l O00
 Tribute To Mines It is conceded that it is a great tribute to the Juneau low-grade properties that they can keep going and make operating expenses and a little better with the properties be ing worked at One-third their capac. , ity and the cost of all materials used in the operation of the mines Increased from fifty to 100 per cent.
