After two days terrific battling
in their great offensive on the
western front the GermansSfir-
ally have succeeded in bringing
the action at one point on the
front somewhat more into the
open. Field Marshal Haig re-
ports that the British defensive
system west of St. Quentin. near
the southern edge of the so mile
front under attack was broken
through by the great weight of
the enemy infantry andartillery.
The British here are falling back
in good order. That the yield
ing of the line at this point has
been by no means unexpected
and possibly had been foreseen
as ultimately inevitable is ipdi-
Gated by the statement that the
retirement is to prepare posi-
tions further west, across the
devastated district.
There is nothing in the report
to indicate that this retrograde
movement will affect the strong
defensive lines to the north in
any way seriously, as it is ex-
plicitly stated that these posi-
tions continue to be held by the
British forces.
Effect Not Apparent
lust what the effect will be
upon the Entente line to the
south is not yet apparent. The
British hold the front to a point
some fifteen miles south of St.
Quentin, to the river Oise at
about the town of La Fere,
where the French line begins.
No reports have been received
from Paris as to whether the French
forces have become involved in the
battle. From the nearness of the
point of German penetration to their
lines, however. it would seem prob
able that they soon will be found
taking part in the struggle. There
is another factor to be considered,
also, should the German thrust de-
velop more seriously.
A Reserve Army
There was created last winter by
the supreme war council at Ver-
sailles an entente "army of man.
euver" understood to be made up of
troops of all allies. which was de-
signed to be available for action at
any point on the wide front from
the North Sea to the Adriatic, where
it should be needed. IT doubtless
has not been the Entente intention
to throw this army into action
hastily. But it unquestionably
stands ready for use in any emer-
gency, and might easily prove the

From the first race to the slim
horse contest. the events were
enthusiastically followed. The
Street Sports committee certain
ly deserve credit for the excellent
program of sports and the
efficient way in which it was
handled. Wrangell once more
demonstrated her patriotism by
awarding all prizes in Thrift
and War Savings Stamps At
intervals the Native Band, sta
toned outside the Bank building
discoursed popular music. Fol.
lowing the sports a baseball
game was announced, the pro-
eeeds to go to the Red Cross
S31.25 was realized from this
game.
The entire celebration showed
that the various committees had
been llntiring in their efforts and
they are to be congratulated on
the splendid success of the day.
&rangell can always be depend
ed upon to go the whole way in
any undertaking, which proves
that there are many live wires in
the community and no dead
ones.
Tive dances closed the selebra-
ton that evening. One was at
the Rex, following the show,
with the North Star Orchestra
furnishing the music, and the
other was given at the Rink by
the Native Band. Both We're
we'll attended. The Native Band
will place the proceeds Of their
dance, which amounted to about
$96, in the instrument fund.
The band is one of Wrangelfs
assets and is deserving Of liberal
patronage.

Fourth Observations

Credit for the good weather is
no doubt due Chairman Thomas
Dalgity of the Parade Coassnit-
tee. Mr.. Dalgity was heard sev-
eral days before the Fourth ask
ing a number of the LADIES' of
Wrangell to pray for favorable
weather so his parade would be
a success. 1t was fsrtuna1e for
the celebration that he asked
help in this matter as thesout-
come might have been different
had be depended upon bis own
efforts. However, Mr.. Dslgity
knows his own Limitations.
The fat ladies' race failed to
materialize.
Six boys had all the pie they
Wanted-for once in their lives.

gram Committee is resoureeful-
and poetic. Failing to find a
recitation for any given occasion,
he takes his pen 10 hand and

Jr. was written by Rev. Corser.
We know now who are the fat
men of Wrrngeu. We thought
we did before but we are mis-
taken, it seems. In the race for
fat men. the teetest of the fleet
footed fat ones was Ted Sterling.
C. Mundy was second. Capt. Sid

up in the rear, but undaunted,
were M. O. johnson. Thos. Dali

says fat men can't run?
1t was a safe and sane Fourth
and a dry one. Everyone had
a good time. Money was not
scarce: Witness the generous
prizes and elaborate decorations.
If a few sighed for the days that
used to be, the vast majority
appreciated the good order, and
the fact that one was spared, this
year, the sightr that frequently
marred celebrations in the past.
In connection with the exercise
held in the Redmen's hall the
morning of the Fourth, did you
happen to notice the exception
ally fine programs? A great
deal of time and thought and
care went into their making so
they might be fitting souvenirs
of the great National celebration
and be sent away to friends with
a feeling of pride that such work
can be done in Wrangell.

CAN YOU BEAT IT?

Geo. w. Marler, one Of the
progressive farmers of the West
side, has made a record on one
acre OF ground. which we believe
Is hard to beat. Most of it came
about by accident says Mr.. Mar,
Ter, but even with that, it shows
what could be done by real effort.
First the ground was planted in
corn which appeared to be a fail
ure; then irish potatoes, sweet
potatoes, tomatoes, radishes, tur-
nips and pumpkins followed each
sowing or planting appearing to
be a failure, and the entire crop
vas more or less neglected and
considered worthless or too much

tention when other crops on the
farm needed the full time Of all
farm hands. But when harvest
time came a different story was
told and this Is what Mr.. Marler
reports from the different plant.
ings on that one acre:
60 bu. irish potatoes, Is bu.
sweet potatoes. 40 blu. corn, 80
bu. tomatoes. 3 bu. .radishes, ovea
200 bu. turnips and so large
pumpkins. Who says Rockcas-
tie is not the garden spot.
