Bisbee daily review., 1918-08-25

The Warren district IS most grateful to Vance Johnson and John Rock of the board of supervisors for the badly needed inn provement in the canyon in the Johnson Addition and Lowell. The widening of the macadam paving here and the putting in of a good cement sidewalk will be of in- calculable benefit to all who pass up and down this busy avenue of traffic. It is a sad commentary upon Bisbee in particular to say that the county has furnished more and better streets between the city limits and Warren than can be found in Bisbee. The only stretch of paving in this city that is fit for traffic is that little bit lying be- tween the depot and slag dump hill, and that was only laid this summer, while the county has furnished nicely paved high way all the way from Johnson Addition to the carbarns in south Warren. The en- ergy and progress and practical business sense of the honorable supervisors, the Messrs. Johnson and Rock, cannot be too highly commended by both charioteer and footman who pass daily up and down the canyon and witness the benefits and con venience of the widened street and the new sidewalk leading into that busy burg of Low ell

ANOTHER BOY
 HAS GONE TO WAR

Jack O'Hara. miner for four years at the Junction shaft, showed up in the newspaper mans den the other day wearing a necktie that shOne like Q miners lamp and a woody black velvet hat and a nifty brown plaid suit and a happy smile. The newspaper man gasped d and the O'Hara explained "Just received word that l am to re- port in Washington for duty over seas" he said
 And yesterday the O'Hara went away. The newspaper man will miss the miner more than little. This Irishman was never happy unless he was doing something for others. There are at least two old ladies in the dis trict who will miss their boy who al- ways called them mother" and there is doubtless more than one maid who will miss her lover, and there are cer- tainly many men who will miss their friend And the boys in the hospital ward will miss the, reckless. kinde hearted lad who brought them flowers.
 O'Hara's last words may well stand as fine token q hate to go away and leave my good friends here" he said. q wish r could tell them how much they. have helped me and done for me while ! was out here so far away from the old home"

in building improvements in this section of Warren alone. These proposed houses are to cost from $2500 to $3000 apiece. Nearly a half million in new houses, all at ore time, means lot to e large city. and what 1t will mean to Warren can hard ly be estimated. It will bring an era of prosperity and improvement to this district unprecedented in all the west, when the size of the community and the brief space of time are considered. It Is now certain that well over two hundred houses will be built right away, even allowing for those whose applications are rejected or who fail to carry their plans through. They will be calling it Wonder Warren" in an- other year. And it will justify the name
 As the district grows larger by leaps and bounds 1t will naturally become richer and a more attractive place in which to live
 There will be more amusements and beauty spots and conveniences. Every class of society will be enlarged and benefited. And best of all, this company plan will en- able a larger proportion of the towns res idents to own their own homes than in any other city in the entire country. and 1t goes without saying that the man who owns his home Is more interested in the community welfare than one who does not and he is more apt to stay here and help build this district into metropolis of the southwest.

A POETS PEN AND
 A SOLDIERS SOUL

Charlie Morrison of St. Louis, a friend of the newspaperman, and him. self an old timer and past master of the same craft. has written letter de- scTibing the war activities in his home town that is a classic and a thrill at the same time. In part he says:
 The wari Man do you recall when we were fighting around Thiep- val wood? And the Britons who died there? And Ccmbles Is near, and even Chaulnes has a familiar look.

BLACK JACK" PERSHING DROVE
 'HEINIE" AWAY

Red Cannon, deputy sheriff. has a white bulldog as almost every one knows. That is. Red did have a white bulldog. But now that dog is num- bered with those that answer not at the roll call at Reds house. It came about in this fashion:
 When Red came into possession of this big white bull pup, the kaiser was not then attempting to run kultur down America throat. so Red named his dog ~Heinie" And Heinies was pretty near the whole thing in the Red Cannon Gcmicile His dOgships sway there was undisputed until one day Reds wife came into possession of the cutest, rOundest blackest little old curly pup that ever won an entire households heart. And they named the pup Black Jack" Pershing and made much over him from morning to night
 And Heinie. when he saw that pup ruling from his old throne, and heard his name called constantly and loving ly from sun to sun. did depart after the first day and return no more. It was the second retreat from the third battle of the Marne. Pershing holds the Cannon sector without opposition from the dog with the Hunnish name.
 Its kinda funny" said Red thought fully. and it's kinda sad. too.r For Red was really attached to the big white bull pup with the pink eyes and the undershOt jaw.

THE ONLY HOUSE
 IN TOWN

The newspaper views with an in tense satisfaction that it does not try to conceal the movement of the min ing companies to open a large tract and aid employees to build homes in Warren. And it is inclined to cele- bTate the fact that there have been some one hundred applications al ready for houses in the Vista For year past the newspaper man has dwelt in peace. comfort, security and happiness in a nice liSle bungalow down in Warren. From this haven he has watched men and women hurry to and fro in the breakers beyond the bar in search of an anchorage; a roof; a home. But now cometh his landlady and desires this house to live in her self And SO the newspaper man went one way and his wife another and his children another. searching for a place wherein they might place their furni- tUre and lay their heads.
 For the first three days the search was in vain They might just as well have sought shelter in the big mos quite flat below town and along the Mexican border But on the fourth day fortune smiled and they found a man who had a house Co rent Actu- ally they found this man.. He had whole house; a new house, and it was empty But would he rent it? An, that was the question. And it is stil. the question.
 Approached upon the subject and pressed most earnestly for preference in the matter of allowing this soon Co be shelterless family Co take refuge under this one lone available roof the man hemmed and hawed gs.t scratched his head and finally sSAe would think it over. "I'll come tffE and see you about it" he finally <
 After three anxious days the news paper mans wife again approached this man to secure his verdict Again he evaded the main issue He would drop in some time. he said with most lordly indifference, and let her know

German claims of airplane losses in- flicted upon the allies have always been wild and ridiculous. but at no time more so than their reports of the last two weeks Every day they claim to have brought down from twenty to sixty allied planes at practically no loss to themselves. In fact they claim that their total losses for July were only l29 planes. The facts are, they lost 293 planes to the French alone that month, and at least as many more to the English by actual official tabulation French official figures show that since January l the Germans have lost 1904 planes, against the French and the latter lost 352 machines in that period. The ut most strength of the German air forces on the western front week ago was about 2500 planes, of which l 100 were fighting machines and the others used for bombing, observation, etc. From losses in battle, ac- cident, wear and tear the Germans must replace about sixty machines day to keep up to the above number in operation. This Is a tremendous task, and that the strain IS beginning to tell is shown by pa pers found on regimental commanders, in which the German high command declares that its air forces are sadly depleted and observation machines cannot be furnished as wanted Consider for moment what just one thousand American battle planes would mean on the western front right now. It would mean disaster for the Ger mans this year But alas, we have none at at Just few observation and bombing planes But we will have that thousand in the air above France before the year is done.

 been reached. It seems certain the Bapaume will fall but more heavy fighting is expected. British troops have advanced to a point north of Mercy and have also entered CrOisil- les. which is some miles east of the Arras- -Bapaume road. and probably marks the peak of the advance east ward in the northern battle zone.
 There has also been lighting north of the river Scarpe and the British have penetrated the old German front line for more than 800 yards.
 The British attacked Givenchy and recovered the old front line from which they retired during an attack last evening
 While Field Marshal Haig's men passed forward with mighty strides on the main battle front today. they had to fight for every yard of ground Considerable numbers of guns and prisohers have been captured all along the line and the British have again in flicted the heaviest possible casualties on the enemy. The ground over which the battle has been fought was in variably filtered with dead Germans.
 Still fighting a losing battle. the Germans are unquestiOnably becoming disorganized and rattled. Officers who nave been taken prisoners have men toned recent reyerses and especially the defeat which now is being suffer ed and said that Germany was willing to give anything for peace.
 These statements are of value only as showing how the German army is coming tO look upon the war now go- ing against them.
 New German divisions continue to arrive in the zone. only Co be stood up before the advancing British and moved down. While they have been able to check the allies in measure. they have been unable to stay their forward movement
 There are stories of less than a dozen men being left in some of the German companies which have partici- pated in the recent fighting. Soldier prisoners captured today expressed themselves generally as having lost faith in the higher command. while non-commissioned officers attributed the defeats to the inefficiencies of the German air service and more especial ly Co the presence of many untrained recruits in the older divisions Some are said to have deserted while on the way Co the front Co participate in this battle.
