ISSUES WARNING TO GERMANY
By Review Leased Wire)

CBy Review Leased Wire)
 PARIS, Oct. 4.-The French govern ment has issued a solemn warning to Germany and her allies that the devas- tation of territory from which they re- treat will be punished inexoTably.
 The warning says the German peo- pie who share in the crimes will bear the consequences with the authors and that those who order the devastation will be held responsible morally, pen ally and pecuniarily.
 It is added that France is discussing with her allies the steps to be taken.

 swarms of machine guns open fire.
 The Americans discovered the trick few days after the Germans put it in operation and consequently the Americans now avoid the decOys. It has been estimated that only one in three of the German balloons are oc- cupied by observers.
 One of the most important sue cesses yesterday was in the fighting on the height in which Meadah farm is situated. (This point was captured by American troops aiding the French in Champagne.) This height gives the allied artillery command of a wide stretch of territory which slopes westward toward the river Suippe and the valley of the Suippe and the river Arones, north of Moronvilliers. Guns posted on the slopes of Meadeah height will be able to Lombard the rear of the German positions on the monts of Champagne, east of Rheims, and to enfilade their lines of retreat toward the north.
 The German reserves brought up to defend that height and who could not do it are continuing today to make vain counter attacks in an effort to stop the allied advance.
 West of Rheims, General Berthelot's army now holds the entire line of the Aisne canal between Rheims and the river Aisne, excepting bits in the sa- lient of Sapigneul-M MOscOu and near the road from Loivre to Courcy. The canal has been crossed at La NeuviEe, La Godat and Loivre while the posi- tions in the region of Betheny have been improved.
 With one after another of their lines of communications cut by the allied forces operating in Champagne, com bined movements northward in that region and eastward from St. Quen- tin would make their position gravely critical. The enemy protection against such a maneuver is a line secondary to the Hindenburg position that passes by Fresnoy and SOissOns with a sharp angle from LaFere along the valleys of the rivers Serre and Disc.

 The German government has had the nerve to protest against the use of shot guns by American soldiers. This protest comes from a government that has thrown aside every restriction of international law intended to mitigate the horrors of war; from government that began the bonn barding of unfortified towns, the use of poisonous gas, the bombing of Red Cross hospitals, the sinking of merchant vessels without warning by submarines, the sack ing of villages and the shooting of hostages.
 And a government guilty of such Prac- tices comes forward with an air of inno- cence and protests against American sol diers using shotguns

Lens

While the occupation of the French coal city of Lens by the allies may well be out ranked in strategic importance and ultimate results and conditions as they affect the trend of the war, yet to this column the talk ing of Lens stands out as the bright and shining triumph of the entire conflict. For three years, off and on, the name of Lens has appeared in the dispatches as the great goal of the allied arms. Two years ago there was a season of three months when the Canadians were expected every day to take Lens, but they never did Hope shone bright and then flickered and went out. The heart beat high and then turned sick. The days, explained by the weeks and led by the months, went by in companies and debouched upon the field of time and still the black eagle of the Hohenzollerns waved over ill-fated Lens
 The tide of war ebbed and flowed. Cit ies were taken and lost; fields were won and surrendered; provinces were entered and evacuated; kingdoms captured and won again, but still Lens remained the same, a French city held by the Germans, and the bravest troops Tn the world camped, vain and impotent, before its gates and mines and towers.
 Lens, with its five millions of tons of coal output a year, and its lone bulwark in- terposing between the allied armies and long stretch of rolling plain, eastward, clear past Douai, was prize so rich m ma terial gain as well as sentiment that 1t come to be looked upon as the impossible attain ment of the war by the combined resources of the allied nations. Lens had come to be to the allies what Verdun and Ypres doubtless are to the Germans who have beaten against their walls inviolate, so often and in vain.
 And now Lens has been taken Lens, the mighty has fallen. Woe is Germany this day Its fall is the stroke of doom to Prussian power Mark well the hour, for 1t shall witness the swift movement of many armed men marching eastward across the plains with the Fiindenburg line behind them.
 The military critics and generals and statesmen and historians may all agree that Lille and Cambrai and Laon and Metz are the main pillars of the Hindenburg line, but to this column Lens always stood as the  largest, strongest, most potent pillar of all the German structure in France.
 The taking of Lens not only means coal for France and cold for Germany but it means flame in the French heart that will burn hotter than any fire made from coal. Lens was not alone the greatest coal field of Europe, but it had come to be the great est psychological spot in the field of the European war.
 Her dumps are black with slag and her chimneys are black with smoke and her buildings are black with powder stains and her hills and ridges are black with the fury of war, but the hope and promise for the future that her conquest by her own peo- pie and their friends from the heavy hand of the invader shall be as white as the gar ments of the redeemed as long as men shall speak of the great war,

The new mayor of Agua Prieta has started a thorough cleaning up of the town. Last Friday a fruit store on Third avenue was raided by the police. They got twenty-five pints of whis- key and eighty-seven bottles of beer. which were destroyed next day and the owner of the store fined SIOO American gold, which he paid The following day the police caught four gamblers red-handed. all of whom, to- gether with the owners of the place, were arrested. The total fines assess ed on them, amounted to $20O gold The women of the red-light district cannot get outside the limits assigned to them, unless with a special permit from the mayor in every case. One of the wealthy Chinese of this town started a new building on one of the principal streets, and brought from Cananea six masons and carpenters, and twelve labOrers, all Chinese. The Mexican labOrers here protested as the laws only allow 25 per cent of foreign nationality to be employed, with the result that the whole bunch of celestials had to go back whence they came, and the building is now be- ing continued by Mexicans, to the sat isfactiOn of all concerned.
