AMERICANS SUCCESS

LOOMS STILL LARGER

Most of them were due to the accurate
firing of our artillery.
All night our batteries kept up their
incessant Smelling OF the enemy's back
areas.
On the western side of the salient,
where a sharp wedge was driven in to
meet the main assault coming up from
the south and east, steady progress
was made through the most difficult
fighting country n against strong re-
sistance.
The effect of the German defeat was
felt ever on the eastern side OF the Mo-
selle river. where enemy troops were
forced to ~eyacuate h bend In the
stream. American patrols occupied
the abandoned trenches.

BY the strategy Of the American at
tack the Germans were obliged to
evacuate Montsec, without a fight to.

ritory. French patrols climbed to It's
summit after the enemy fled.
1t was reported that great quantities
Of supplies were found intact and IL
was expected many guns would be dis
covered there. t.r ASA
AS they fell back the Germans started
big fires in Pannes and in Vigneulles,

could not remove Fighting In the

which the Americans encountered I'm
the rolling Marne region. Cold, pelting
rain rendered the difficulties created by
the trench lines even greater. Beyond
Pannes many sections were tangled
with barbed wire barriers. The oun

On our right near the Moselle, the
Americans encountered some difficulty
in clearing out woods and there were
occasional stiff fights along the heights.

Bio Captures Made.

The NUMBER or prisoners and guns
taken as Pershing's troops swept on In
detectives were attained, according TO
schedule.
We're going strong" was the re-
port from & certain already famous d.
vision regarding the progress OF It's at
tack shortly after the offensive opened.
From the start Of the drive 1t was
evident the prisoners would number
thousands. When 5000 to 1000 had
already been counted, reports came into
headquarters from all directions tell
ing of groups Of 200, 500 and 500 more
on their way to the "A

the number Of prisoners counted as
$4,000.
Eighteen hundred prisoners, includ-
ing eight officers, Were taken when
Thiacourt fell. Eighteen officers were
included in another bag. Numerous
machine gun have been seized. One
infantry detachment charged and cap
tured al entire battery OF field guns
which were firing or them.
Two six-inch cannons were also
taken. indicating that the gun haul Is
undoubtedly heavy.
One ank captured a battery of field
pieces. five machine guns m rs men.
Sergeant Graham sat IN top >of the
tank during this operation. Some Ger
man batteries, when they fell into the
hands OF the Americans, were still in
their camoufiagcl positions. The Ger
mans had not had. enough time to at
tempt to remove them.
Refugees are being sent back from
several towns after remaining in them
during the four year German occupa-
ton.
So fast did the Americans travel
when they hit the German linz that
all detectives designated for the first
day were reached early in the after
noon. In short time the salient was
pushed In four or five miles along It's
whole front.

Farming and business conditions

Cincinnati Man Tells How to
Shrivel Up Corns SO They
Lift Out.

Ouch This kind of rough
talk will he heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn stops soreness
at once, and soon the corn dries UP
and lifts right out without pain.
He says freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce, which will cost very little
at any drug store, is said to be suffi-

MONEY NOT AVAILABLE

Roman March 5e.4Special @. +,
Peterson and Clarence. Prescott. Mis-
SCUBA county commissioners, have been
here the last several days inspecting
roads. a conference was held with
the committee of the commercial club
and 1t was agreed that in view of the
rapid development in this section OF
Missoula county. and the urgent re-
quirement for extension and Improve
ment of roads, the construction of sub
stantial bridges, that the amount of
road tax and anpartionment that could
be made to this section was entirely
Inadequate to meet the situation.
It was agreed that the only solution
would be the voting of additional Inn
provement and bridge bonds. The
present bonded Indebtedness of Mis-
souIa county is relatively small, and 1t
was stated that there would he a
ready sale for any bonds that might be
voted. 1t was agreed that the i'm
portnnce of this section as q farming
country would justify the immediate
consideration Of such bonded issue.
The question of the eres.tioneof a
new county at n later date and its
effect upon a bond issue was discussed
and 1t was agreed that when such
events TRANSFERRED that the proposed
new county would be sufficiently
wealthy to crmfortabiy assume their
proportaonata linrt of tins bond issue as
well as their proportion OF the al
ready existing Missoula county debt. 1t
was agreed that undoubtedly such a
5 procedure would have to be taken
should q new county be formed and
there was no good and valid reason
why 1t should not be done at this
time while we are still part of the
neighbOring counties of Missoula, Flat
head and Sanders. Such movement
was declared to be progressive and IN
full accordance with the custom of de-
vcloping all new counties situated
similarly as the F1athead valley.
1t was suggested that the county
surveyor make a complete survey Of
our requirements in this line and M
estimate be made, and that a confer
ence be had with the Missoula chamber
of commerce. and other business repre-,
scntatives of the county and the ques.
tion ofsvoting such bond at the com
ing election decided upon.

The Irish "Lonu Carr

There was time-and 1t was only
as long ago as the last century, too
when the Irish travelled about their
country on odd little cars. They were
called '1ong cars and they were not
very different, really from the "out-
side cars" which are still commonly
used In Ireland. But the outside car
carries no more than two persons on
seats, while the long car carried some
tines as many as sixteen passengers
in az. The luggage was piled up in
the middle.
