The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1918-09-21
By EDWARD w. PICKARD.

The American First army, General
Pershing commanding, started the first
great wholly American offensive
Thursday, attacking on both sides OF
the st. Mihiel salient southeast Of
Verdun. The French assisted by at
lacking on the point Of the salient, but
the operation was planned by the
American staff and executed by Amer
lean officers and troops.
By Friday night the operation, so
far as the salient was concerned,
seemed practically completed, for the
big wedge had been fattened out and
the new line established by the Ameri-
cans ran from Pont-a-MOussOn down
the Moselle to Pagny, thence across the
WOevre plain to Nationwide and along
the heights of the Meuse to the old
line in front of Verdun. The fact that
fully 10000 prisoners were taken
and that the towns and railways aban-
dOned by the enemy had not been de-
stroyed made ridiculous the German
official statement that the retirement,
Switch had been under consideration
for some years, was completed without
interference"
This American drive threatens the
German possession Of the great iron
fields of the Briey basin west and
northwest of Metz.
After a terrific artillery preparation
which for four hours smothered the
entire region within the German lines
with shells, the Yanks went over the
top exactly at five o'clock, following
a rolling barrage timed for an ad-
vance Of 100 meters every 40 minutes.
Great numbers Of tanks supported
them and cleared the way by crushing
numerous concrete machine gun shell
tiers and breaking down the elaborate
wire defenses. American aviatOrs in
flocks quickly drove away the few Hun
airmen in sight and thereafter del
uged the enemy supply centers, mu-
milton dumps and hangers with
bombs, while the observation planes
directed the work of the artillery.
Everything moved like clOckwOrk and
the troops speedily gained their OBJ
'jectives and went on to the next ones.
Village after village was taken and
by Friday the cavalry had advanced
far into the center of the salient and
occupied strong positions.
Having given up all the ground they
won in their great spring drive, and
finding themselves back on the old
Hindenburg line. and in some places
well behind it, the Germans decided to
stop their retreat for a while. Marshal
FOch did not fully assent to this deci-
sion, but powerful concentrations OF
Hun artillery and reserves in strong
positions, coupled with torrential
rains throughout Picardy, brought the
allied offensive almost to a temporary
standstill. Not that the fighting by
any means ceased, for the French and
British kept pressing forward, though
more slowly, and the Germans deliv'
cred desperate counter-attacks, which
in almost every instance resulted only
in severe losses for them.

standing Of the 100000 viii have

standing Of the 100000 will have
been determined. According to Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, the
first to be selected for the cantonments
and camps will be those between nine
teen and twenty-one and between thir.
ty-one and thirty-six.
The matter of granting deferment
to registrants because Of the work In
which they are engaged is Of utmost
Importance, and the aid Of all employ
ers in this has been enlisted. The gov
eminent is especially DESTROYS that no
essential industries shall be disturbed
by the draft, but enough men must be
selected to maintain q steady flow of
registrants to the training camps.
AS had been foreseen, here and
abroad, the Germans have begun an
intensified U-boat campaign directed,
especially against the transports carry
ing American troops and supplies. Up
to date this has resulted in the torpe-
doing Of the Mount Vernon, formerly
the krOnpr1nZeSSln Cecele, winch was
bringing home wounded and sick sol
diers, and of the Persic, carrying $500
American troops to Europe. In the
former case the casualties were con-
fined to men in the engine rooms and
the vessel put back to a French port
under her own steam. All the men on
the Persic were safely transferred to
the conveying vessels, after which the
steamship was beached on the English
coast. The submarine which attacked
it was destroyed by depth charges. In
both instances the utmost bravery and
GOODNESS were exhibited by the crews
and the soldiers aboard.
The British steamship M~issanabio

The MAID OF BELGIUM
At The Grand Opera House Tonight
World Five-ReeI Production.

The story of a Belgian refugee is
told in The Maid of Belgium" fea-
turing Alice Brady. This is one of
the most powerful dramas ever pro-
duced. whose subject matter deals
with the terrible conditions which
exist in Belgium at the present time.
Prior to the time of the German in
vasion, everything was peace and
quiet in that country. After the
Teutons had swept through Belgium
they left nothing but waste in their
wake. Not only was the country de-
vastated, but the men, women and
children were maltreated, the wo-
men rayished and the men tortured
who stood in defense of their wives
and daughters.
The Maid of Belgium" is one of
the best screen dramas in which AL
ice Brady has been seen. She will
be seen on the screen at the Grand
Opera House tonight.-Adv.

POL ES THREATEN
GERMANS TO SAVE
WILMA FROM BOLS

London. Dec. 2S.-Vilna, the capital
Of Lithuania, is threatened by an ad-
vance OF Bolshevist troops, according
to Warsaw dispatch to the Mail, un-
der date of Thursday. The Polish
chief of staff has demanded of the
German Generals Hoffman and Falk-
enhayn free passage for Polish troop
trains over lines now in German
hands from the Polish frontier to
Wilma The Germans are also asked
to permit the rejoining CO -he Polish
and Lithuanian railroads, which were
cut by the Germans.
IL the German reply is unsatisfac-
tory. the Poles will begin a march in
10 Lithuania. for they are determined
not to allow the Bolshevists to cap
ture Wilma, without an attempt to pre-
vent it. The Poles have telegraphed
the allies, asking them to send Off
GERS to accompany the troops.
a later dispatch from Warsaw to
the Mail says the Po-es have acceded
20 the request of the German generals
for a delay of twenty four hours ow-
ing to the difficulty OF communicat-
Ing with Berlin.

SECRETARY GIL A SIS
WARNS PEOPLE NOT
TO GIVE UP BONDS

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Secretary of
the Treasury Carter Glass today is
sued the following statement:
"It has been called to my attention
that large numbers Of charitable or
ganizations have from time to time
solicited contributions from tho roo-
pie of the country and in their ap-
peals have stated that Liberty bonds
and war savings stamps would be re-
ceived in lieu of cash.
"These charitable people seem to
overlook the fact that as long as the
United States government is under the
necessity OF selling additional am
cunts of it's bonds, the taking of bonds
of previous issues by such charitable
organizations and the consequent re-
sale Of such bonds in the open market
has q tendency to depress the price
and make it more difficult for the
government to obtain the money it
needs upon reasonable terms.
therefore request that charitable or
ganizations refrain from making any
suggestion to the public that they
will accept Liberty bonds or war saw
ings stamps unless for endowment
funds to be held for perm Nnent in
vestment-"

EVASION CASE.
"OPENS JAN. Z
PREPARING GOVERNMENTS FOR
CAT ISLANDERS.

U. District Attorney ]. L. Neeley
and his assistant Attorney Earle
Hoffman, are preparing for the open
ing of the II. IS. District court, IN
Gainesville, January Z, when the fa-
.nosfs Cat island draft ease is to fea-
ture the sessions II
+ In this case. it is charged that 48
men who resided in the vicinity Of
Cat Island, in the fastness of the
Everglades, resisted draft service in
the u. S. army. There are at least G5
witnesses who are to be called in the
case, which promises to be one of
the hardest fought legal battles in
this district. The government char
ges that these men hid themselves
away from draft officials. and aided
others to escape. Many arrests fol-
lowed, and feeling in the case ran
high at the time.
1t is the opinion of legal lights Cf
the district that the government WI;
have an easier battle now than woulo
have been the case if the charges
had been fought out several months
ago. The calling of many men from
this vicinity and the change OF heart
of many people there in favor of the
u S. army, is said to be a strong
feature OF picking jurymen from the
district.
