Once more situation Is stead
uy developing on the western
front which must lead shortly 10
another wide swinging German
retreat, this time a retreat which
will modify the whole familiar
appearance OF the front I'm Bel
GUM and France for four years
now. We have had a German
wedge or salient thrust out to-
ward Paris, with it, nose resting
upon the hills southwest and
southeast OF IaOn and its sides
buttresscd by German defense
lines stretching north through St
Quentin and south TO the hills
above Rheims.
The time has about come when
the German must leave this
salient. He has already lost st.
Rheims. The British and Amcri-
cans between -. Quentin and
Cambria. the French and Ameri-
cans between Rheims and the
ArgOnne. are steadily advancing.

coming too deep "a compared
with It's width, growing more and
more to resemble the Marine
salient which invited the Foch
blow OF July 10. As consequence
ImdendOrn must soon retire out OF

treated after the first battle OF

II would be "A mistake to con-
clude that the Germans within
this Iaon salient are as yet in any
great danger. They are not, be-
cause their western and most cx-
posed flank Is covered by the long,
deep trough OF the Oise, which
has been flooded from Lafcre
nOrthvard. In the same way the
other side of the salient Is cover
cd by the successive lines OF the
Suippes, which has now been
reached by the French and finally
and most thoroughly protected.

THE FRIENDS OF
MAYOR ROBINS
Present Him With a Fine Watch and
Chain in Recognition of His
Services.

Since "every one is an enemy un-
til he proves himself otherwise" the
citizens of Tupelo and the people of
Lee County have felt for long time
that Mayor d. w. Robins should be
shown some recognition, and so the
services Of the chief of police, 4. f..
Robertson, were secured to watch
him. In appreciation of his faithful
and untiring services, not only IN the
city of Tupelo, which has grown and
become famous unders his admlnistra-
tion. but also the county and state
have felt his efforts, some of his
friends and admirers decided to give
him little token, and through K. +.
Robertson, the oldest man in the SER
vice of the city, beautiful Hamilton,
five adjustment, % ruby leweled,
solid gold case watch with heavy
solid gold chain was presented him
the past week. 1t came as a COM
plete surprise to Mayor Robins, as he
is a man who works without any
thought of reward. Mr.. Robins has
been mayor of Tupelo for the past 10
years and the past two terms has
been elected without opposition. I'm
der his administration the city has
grown until it is called ''The City
Beautiful" of North Mississippi, and
its name has become famous in many
states. Almost every street is paved,
and there are concrete sidewalks and
cutters. 1t put in the longest and
one of the first "white ways" in the
state; the new 100000 hotel is near
ing completion; whiskey and gambling
has been cleaned out, and the whole
community is prosperous. Mr.. Rob
ins is also a member of the
Highway Commission and has
more for good roads than possibly any
other man in the state. He was in
strumental in securing the laying of
the concrete road in the county,
which was one of the first in the
state. He also is assisting the gov
ernment in winning the war by rails
ing hogs, cattle and ether foodstllf
Tupelo and Lee County are proud OF
him.
The following is copy of the note
attached to the watch when dellv-
cred:
"MAYoR D. w. ROBINS
"In appreciation of what you have
done, both for Tupelo and for Lee
County, few of your friends here
with present you with the enclosed
token of their esteem for your SER
vices.
Wear it with the consciousness
that your services are appreciated; !;
observe it during the years to come
and may it cause you to realize that
your friends know that you have
wrought and wrought WE'LL and at
the end of life, when the shades OF
eternity gather around you may it be
a comfort and~solace to you.

LETTER FROM MIR. HOOVER

Mr.. p H. Harding, Federal Food
Administrator for Mississippi, has re-
ceived the following letter from Mr..
Hoover, which is of general interest:
Dear Mr.. Harding:
The extensive use of suburban
gardens for planting last year proved
of extreme Importance in increasing
the national food supply.
Even with the car shortage which
has developed during the last three
months and the total inability to move
the large reserves of potatoes and
beans, we have been saved from pos
tive shortage throughout the country,
largely by virtue of the accumulated
household stores which are the results
Of hom endeavor.
The .od situation of the world
must steadily degenerate as long as
the wa lasts. 1t is, therefore, of
prime Importance to add every item
to the ootal production. Further
more, our overtaxed railways, which
must continue to be overtaxed during

Lynchers We're Not Masked
and There Is Likely To Be
No Prosecution
By Henry Wood.

Collinsville. Ill, April 5.-Robert p.
Praeger, aged As, was hanged by mob
here early today, paying with his life
for alleged pro-Germanism. A mob of
$50 unmasked men, led by well known
citizens, invoked tho lynch law to pun
ish Praeger for reported socialistic and
disloyal remarks against President Will
son at Maryville last night.
Pracger s. body vas swung from a
tree two miles west of town along the
nati,maB highway after he was led
barefooted through the streets, waving
an American flag. Once rescued by the
police, he was hidden in sewer pipe
in the Jail basement here only to be
Jerked out by the mob, which disre-
garded the paeadings of Mayor Siegel.
Praeger died praying and protesting
