The boys who went across last and
will be returned first may have yet an
opportunity to see active service. Re-
ports are to the effect that they will
be sent to Archangel for operations
against the redfagging bolshevists in
Siberia. We'd hate to see our Mile
Laos county boys sent into that in
fernal country instead Of being held
for occupational duty in Germany,
which we are sure they would enjoy.
But the ways Of the war department
are mysterious.

d They tell a good one on I. H. Galley.
It, seems that he went into his
tinshop to solder a can. Taking a
soldering iron and heating it, he
dipped it into vessel Of what he
supposed to be acid used for the pur-
pose, but the solder refused to stick
to the iron and ran onto his pants,
burning hole therein and blistering
one Of his legs. He repeated the OPP
Grafton several times and threw the
iron on the floor amid a flow Of Ian
guage unfit for publication. Later he
discovered that instead Of dipping the
iron into soldering solution he had
been using Billy Caley's cleansing
compound.

After killing his wife S%iserieh turned
his gun on Kruna, his 9-year-old son,
and Dirinka his l4-year-old stepdaugh-
ter. Both were injured and their screams
gave the alarm, the police responding
only to be driven away from the house
by a hot fire from Siserieh's gun.
For two hours Siserich, barricaded in
the house, held 100 police, soldiers and
sailors at bay. Finally when only a
baby's cries were answered the bullets
the posse raided the house, only to find
Siserieh dead and three-year-old Emma,
uniformed and crying for her mother.

GERMANS NOW FACING
Retreat OR BIG
DISASTER ALONG FRONT
Old Hindnburg Line viii No
Longer Prove Safe De-
fensive Position.
SEVEN
By William Philip Simms,

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Sept. 5.-The German general
staff is today facing the possibility
of a vast new withdrawal which would
entail giving up practically the remain
der of France under the Teutonic heel.
1t is practically certain that the
plans of H~indenburg and Ludendorff
must undergo important revisions, ow-
ing to the British blow in the Sensee
valley, which, as | cable, has brought
the allies to within seven miles Of
Cambrai, and within six miles of Douai,
or less than the distance from the
Battery to the Central Park lake in
New York, while important railway
communications between Douai and
Cambria, as well as the highways and
communications generally between these
two cities are themselves generally
dominated.
Unless the Germans, can stop the
advance Of General Horne the whole
systtm of the Hindenburg defenses
must crumble and beyond this there
appears TO be nothing until the line
is reached running from Newport on
the Belgian s%cacoast, past Lille and
C%harleville, through the valley of the
Mouse and joining up with the old
line at Pont-a- Mousson.
Such q retreat would open the eyes
of even the German home folks to
such an extent that the higher com
mand will not dare to face it unless
forced to do so by allied blows. Tho
Germans will Enthusiastically secrifice
additional legions before they begin
such a crawl. They may yet be forced
to save themselves by retreating from
the Hindenburg line as they did OF
old.
There is reason to believe that the
Germans hope to snatch the initiative
from the allies before the end of the
season IS campaign by rapidly with
drawing the bulk of their armies to
the Hindenburg line, leaving their pick
cd troops and a screen of machine guns
and heavy artillery to prevent the rap
id advance Of the allies.
1t is argued that they might have
sufficient divisions rested to form a
reserve fQf use as SlOTH lIOuPs, thSa0
to attack at the precise moment when
the allies came into contact with tho
Hindcnburg line, when the Germans
might believe them tired and disorgan-
lied.
But instead of stopping when they
reached the Hindenburg defenses, Foca
sent the British tearing through, COM
pletely smashing any plans the Ger
mans had. Whatever fresh reserves
they were saving for offensive pur-
poses were sent to fill the breach in
the line.
With the reported evacuation of Lens
BY all save nests of machine guns and
with the great possibilities opening up
by the threat against Cambria and Dau-
al. the focus of interest is on this part
of the line. However, to the north, in
Flanders, the British are at the doors
Of Armentiercs, in which region the
Germans are continuing to retreat
ity Of Noyon the French troops are
ccaselessly biting into the enemy's
|flanks. making further Withdrawals
thereabouts imminent.
