THIS MAN
GETS DUTY
WITH ARMY

"Casey" Jones, Grady county un-
dersheriff, has returned from Ft.
Sill where he delivered John Yam
cey of Bailey to the national army
officials. Yancey was caught sever
al days ago on charge of being a
Stacker.
Failure to fill out his question.
naire and a general disregard for
the orders of the department with
reference to the draft are also among
the charges lodged against Yancey.
In the opinion of officials, ignorance
was partially responsible for his
failure to comply with the require
ments of the war department. 1t is
thought that he was influenced to
some extent by the u. w. w. mem
bers operating in the southern end
of Grady county until thinned out by
a drive of government men.
1t is understood that Yancey will
be sent from TT. Sill to Camp Trav-
is where he will take up the life Of
a soldier. According to Undersheriff
Jones, this arrangement suited the
accused as he was of the opinion
that nothing short Of a court mar
tlal would be his fate. .o1.

strategic points in the northern por-

hands of the Germans. Field Marshal
Haig reported to the war office to-
day.
Wulverghem was not actually cap

ish. The Germans occupied Bailleul,
which has been the scene of the
most desperate fighting during the
entire drive in Flanders. 1t was the
stronghold from which the British
had hurled back the Germans from
the northern edge of this Flanders
salient and it guarded the entire
Ypres salient from the south.
The loss of Bailleul endangers the
British positions at Ypres, Messines
ridge and Zonnebeke. Bailleul was
the first main geographical objective
OF the German drive to fall. 1t is
located on the Armentieres-Haze-
brouok railway, midway between the
Two cities.
Three and onehalf miles east of
Bailleul is Neuve Eglise which is al
so in German hands. The way is
