Commentators point that in q.

series of hammer blows been dire,

The Paris military critics toiav
treat mainly of the threatening breach
in the Hindenburg line in the north
pointing out that the enemy now Il
forced to forego the use of prepares
artificial defenses and to fall bach
on the natural obstacles which. tha
writer's argue, are the only hope Of
the Germand command in the Des.
ent state of disorganization among II,
divisions.
The enemy, the critics show. viii
have before Cambria a series of natur.
al defenses, which may help him
stay the march of the British armies
momentaTily. The general assump-
ton is that the German stand will be
made along the line of the Canal da
Nord, passing west of Marquion, east
of Inchy- En-Artois and from Moexyres
to Hermies.
There is every sign of extreme dis.
organization among the enemy's
forces at Vulnerable points in his line.
To the north of Peronne along a
front extending many kilometers
troops of all kinds have been promis
cuous1y collected and 80 battalions Of
this heterogeneous fighting material

lands LANDS HARD
ON |. W. W. LEADERS
WILLIAM .. HAYWOOD AND
FOURTEEN AIDES GIVEN 20
YEAR TERMS.

Chicago. William d. Haywood,
"uncrowned king" of the Industrial
Workers of the World, and Il of his
chief aids in the conspiracy to over
turn the American war programme,
were sentenced to 20 years in the fed
eral penitentiary at Leavenworth,
Kan, by Federal Judge K. M. Lands
Ten-year sentences were imposed
upon SO of the organization leaders,
five-year sentences on 33, one year
and one day on II defendants, and
Today sentences on two others. Cases
against Benjamin Schraeger, Chicago
writer. and Pietro Nigra, Spring Val
ley, ILL.,, were continued.
All sentences on the four counts in
the Indictment will run concurrently.
Fines ranging from $4,000 on Hay
wood and his chief aides, down to SIS,
900, were imposed.
The defendants are granted SO
days in which to file bill of excep-
ton, and a stay of seven days in
which to petition for bail.
ut is the closing chapter in Ameri-
cas- biggest criminal case said
Frank K. Nebeker, chief prosecutor.
I'VE are confident a new trial will
be granted" said George F. Wander
yeer, chief counsel for the defense.
Before pronouncing sentence on the
defendants, Judge Lands reviewed
at some length the salient points in
the governments case, laying espe~
cial stress on the l. w. w. preamble
declaring eternal war on the employ
ing class and denouncing war with
other nations. At a meeting or the
executive board after America had
entered the war it was decided to ex-
pei members entering military ser
ice, and later the concerted plan by
strikes and rebellion to block war
measures.
"In times of peace you have a le-
gal right to oppose, by free speech,
preparations for war. But when war
has been declared that right ceas IS

GERMAN RETREAT
GETTING OUT HAND
WASHINGTON SEES MANY EVIL
DENCES THAT ENEMY is
DEMORALIZED.
HINDENBURG LINE BROKEN
British Have Now Broken a Decided
2 Gap in the Old German Fortified
Line and Fall of Several Import
ant Towns Seems Imminent.

Washington. Reports from the
British front indicated to military Of
ficers here that the German retreat,
heretofore conducted with the utmost
military skill, is getting out of hand
Under the terrific pressure Of the
British and French armies all along
the line from Ypres to scissors, the
enemy apparently is being forced to
more precipitate withdrawal partie-
ularly on the old Droucourt-Q ueant
front, where Marshal Haig's men
hammered forward irresistibly.
The official announcement frola
London that more than 10000 prison
ers have been taken in two days
fighting on this front in itself indi-
Gates, it is said, that there is growing
disorganization in the German ranks.
With this in mind, there was wide
speculation among officers as to What
new developments of the battle are
to be expected. Observers believe
the time is fast approaching when
General Pershing's first field army
will participate in the battle, on the
theory that General Foeh has been
Withholding this new and vigorous
force for a decisive blow when the
time is ripe. Where or when the
blow would be delivered, however,
was wide variance of opinion.
The British now have broken a de
cided gap in the old German fortified
line and the fall of Cambria, Douai,
st. Quentin and several other rail and
road centers upon which the linden
burg line depended seems imminent.
II the enemy intended to fall back
upon this line when he was forced
into a general withdrawal along his
whole front from Rheims to Ypres,
his chances are rapidly dwindling as
the British lines surge forward at
the very center of the great battle
front.
Marshal Haig's forces are moving
on Cambria, the key to large sec.
tion across the old line, and if that
place is taken it seems that the en-
envy will be quickly forced to evacu
ate the salient in which he is rapidly
being pocketed by the French anG
American advance on the Oise-Ailette
lines in the south and the British
thrust eastward from Peronne to the
north.
So evident is the growing disorgan
ization among the Germans shown il
reports from the British front tha
some officers are inclined to think i
possible that the enemy may be fore
ed to withdrawal to the Rhine this
year. Others, however, feel that thu
skill the German leaders have display
ed does not warrant any anticipation
of an early collapse.

DROCOURT- QUEANT
LINE Is PIERCED
GERMANS AT ONE POINT WERE
DRIVEN BACK A DISTANCE OF
THREE MlLES-STILL GOING.

With the British Army in France
The British have pierced the Dro-
court-Queant line. In a fierce battle,
which has been raging since dawn
and which will probably prove to be
one of the most important of the war,
Canadian and English troops at last
reports, had at one point driven N
about five kilometers, or little more
than three miles, and were still
going.
The fighting was as furious as any
since the war began and increased
in intensity as the British battlei
their way forward, meeting the ever
growing resistance of the enemy, who
had put in every available man aud
was rushing up reserves at the rear.
Thousands of prisoners have been
captured; the roads to the British
rear are literally janmed with them.
There has been fierce fighting in
Dury, which was taken by the British,
and Mount Dury, which the Germans
held in great strength, was stormed.
The British went ON after killing enor-
nous numbers of the enemy. The
Germans died fighting here as else
where.
Cognieourt wood and Cagnicourt
have been captured, and Bots de
Bouche, to the southeast, is reported
also to have been occupied
There has been heavy fighting in
Buissy, northeast of Queant, where
large numbers of prisoners have been
captured. and some progress has been
made against the northern end of the
Queant-Drocourt line for some dis
lance.
All during the night there was very
heavy fighting around the British po-
sitions, which were almost iammod
up against the great German defense
system. Piles of dead Germans was
one of the results. During one enemy
attack sergeant with a machine gun
killed so Germans who tried to rush
him.
1t was soon after O'clock in the
morning that the massed British can
non broke loose with roar that was
heard for miles in a crash barrage.
The whole sky seemed ablaze as thou,
sands OF British shells poured into
the German wire and lines.
When the barrage raised the Cana
dams and English swarmed over the
top. Just behind them were numer-
Gus tanks Of all sizes. They had bee.
over only minute when the enemy
opened with a counter-barrage, which
is said to have been by far the strong
est he has put down since the Brit
ish offensive began.
The instant the British appeared
the Germans in many cases Jumped
out of the trenches and held their
hands high above their heads. In
some cases, however, the advancing
British met with a hail of machine
gun bullets, but in spite of this, they
pushed on. Quickly the first line WAS
overcome.
