STRANG THINGS WE HEAR

Mccarthy is in many inStanc- es the home of pa1'adOx.
 It is located in a territory which was rendered "bone dry" by the majority vote of it's people, SO dry that liquor can not even be purchas ed for medicinal purpos es. y44 | is said that those wto lin the k ow' can secure liquor in Nc r hy if they desire.
 This town was also inc'udet in the Attorney CGnel al's order whicE required 1le closing of restricted district last July lst
 Obeying this order, those res idents who did not leave the country. changed their abode, and engaged in various branches of business.
 NOW, one or them complains tli; t on two different occasions she has been robbed of consid- erab!e sums of money.
 It appears to an outsider that if these people are endeavoring to earn vn honest living Tn a peacable manner they should have protection. If they are not, why shold they be permitted to ply their trade in the business section?
 Would it not be more decent if the Attorney Generals order were rescinded?

 Excellent work was done dur ink the trying days when so many rules and regulations had to be announced and then very often cntnsed O. rescinded.
 Now we will not be bothered with regulations at least for some time to come.

GERMAN RETREAT
GETTING OUT HAND
WASHINGTON SEES MANY EHl.
DENcES THAT ENEMY is
DEMORALIZED

Washington. Reports from the
British front indicated to military of

heretofore conducted with the utmost
military skill, is getting out OF hand
Under the terrific pressure of the
British and French armies all along
the line from Ypres to scissors, the

Withholding this new and vigorous
force for a decisive blow when the
time is ripe. Where or when the
blow would be delivered, however,
was wide variance of opinion.
The British now have broken de-
cided gap in the old German fortified
lire and the fall of Cambria, Douai,
st. Quentin and several other rail and
road centers upon which the linden
burg line depended seems imminent.
If the enemy intended to fall back
upon this line when he was forced
into a general withdrawal along his
whole front from Rheims to Ypres,
his chances are rapidly dwindling as
the British lines surge forward at
the very center of the great battle
front.
Marshal Haig's forces are moving
on Cambria, the key to large sec
ton across the old line, and IL that
place Is taken it seems that the en-
envy will be quickly forced to evac1-

lines in the south and the British

north.
So evident is the growing disorgan-
ization among the Germans shown in
reports from the British front that
some officers are inclined to think 1t
possible that the enemy may be fore
ed to a withdrawal to the Rhine this
year. Others, however, feel that the
skill the German leaders have display
ed does not warrant any anticipation
of an early collapse.

Commentators point that in the
present offensive continuity has been
maintained lasting 16 days without
break and that not since the begin
ming of the war has such an extended
series Of hammer blows been direct
ed, throwing the adversary into com
plete dismay. The enemy apparently
is unable to reorganiZe his rorces to
make stand capable of arresting the
onward march of the allies.
The Paris military critics today
treat mainly of the threatening breach
in the Hindeuburg line in the north

forced to forego the use of prepared
artificial defenses and to fall back
on the natural obstacles which, the
writer's argue, are the only hope oil

Summer visitors always are inter-
ested in the extreme age of these
mountains. They are granite of the
Archean age. They stood there, doubt
less far loftier and perhaps serrated,
before the now loftier Rockies and the
Sierra Nevada even emerged from the
prehistoric sea. These SUBMITS have
been rounded in the intervening many
millions of years by the frosrs and the
rains and the giant ice sheets which
descended time and again from the
north. The record of the glaciers may
be read still upon their slopes.
The mountains are entirely sur
rounded by fine automobile roads along
the shore which connect the seaside
resorts. But in many places the cliffs
spring straight from the ocean, whose
waves lash and corrode their granite
feet. A greater variety of sensations
may be had from this combination Of
sea and mountain than Is offered by
any Western national park, however
large and majestic.
