In an article in the July Amer
lean Magazine an author says:
Macdonald was in the Somme
offensive, when the British push
ed the Germans back from posi-.
tons which had been made as
nearly impregnable as possible.
The Huns had constructed elab-
crate dugouts fifty feet under
ground which would accommo-
date five thousand men besides
the officers. He occupied one of
these officers dugouts and found
them almost palatial! They
were big rooms with concrete
floors, steel ranges, electric
lights, paneled- wood walls,
pianos-all the luxuries of home!
The ceiling were eight or ten
feot high, timbered like a mine
chamber, and with steel rails
supporting the ground overhead.
Holes had been drilled up to the
air for ventilation, Some OF
these underground rooms were
as big as good-sized restaurants

is estimated that there are 225,-
100000 gallons of whisky in ex-
istence. This means enough to
supply 100000. drinks of
booze. 100000 drinks are es-
timated to be consumed in a day

MORE BUSINESS AND
TRADE NEEDED

1t is daily suggested to us by
both residents and non-residents
that the merchants and business
men of Columbia should organ
ize a Commercial Club or some
kind of a business mems associa-
ton for the purpose of stimulat-
ing more commercial activity,
and making Columbia a larger
and more active business center
than it is. Columbia is a most
delightful resident city, it has
splendid schools and churches,
and a surrounding territory su-
perior to any inland town in
Kentucky from which to draw
its means of greater prosperity
and larger growth.
But it is a source of sadness
and rebuke to be so often re-
minded by both people at home
and abroad that I'VE" and our
merchants are "alseep at the
switch" When reminded that
our merchants and capitalists
are inoportunely pursuing a
''Iaisez faire" policy in the mat
ter holding and building up a
great trade here, at a time when
the harvest is ripe, and the
prices and profits golden, it is
complained that commodities are
too hard to get with which to
supply the demand. There must
be something radically wrong
about this, as we cannot find it
so elsewhere and in those neigh
boring towns and villages to
which the cream of a splendid
trade that rightfully belongs to
Columbia is now going. The
casual observer has only to note
the enormous amount of matter
comprising every kind of article
of household use coming from
distant mail order houses to all
parts of Adair county and to
many people right here in Co.
lumbia, and wondering why this
should be when we and our mer-
chants could easily and more
cheaply supply every demand at
profits that are remunerative.
1t is our impression and belief
that we need a genuine CONNER
cial revival, and that such a COM
mercial revival can be brought
about by such an organization

ness men of Columbia. In ad.
dition to needed improvements
in our trade conditions, there are
industries and institutions that
could be established in a little
while that would infuse the
town with new hustle and g

bread tied to their uniforms with

were glad to be captured, and
several expressed a desire to go
to the United States after the
war TO live.
All of Germany's plans, they
added, called for ending the war
next fall. The prisoners were
told, they said, that among the
Americans were many negroes.
The scarcity of officers in the
German army is shown to be the
fact that one of the prisoners, a
first sergeant, commanded
company. He said this was a
common thing now. All the
prisoners expressed admiration
for the fighting qualities of the
Americans.

which have been advancing on

French had hurled back the en-

Violent combats continue be-

the west of the Disc, on the bat
tlefront south of Noyon, held
their positions there for but a
brief period. French troops,
counter-attacking the enemy,
have hurled him back to the
north bank of the river and
checked his advance toward
Compeigne. The news from the
scene of the tremendous s;rug-
gle, as told in official statements,
shows that on the field west of
the Disc the Germans have come
to a halt for the present at least.
The enemy has not renewed
his attacks on the line from Cour-
celles to Antheuil, where on
Tuesday a brilliant counter-at-
tack of the French swept the
invaders back and re-established
the French line on the plateau
overlooking the center of the
German position. This position
is most embarrassing to the Ger
mans, for it places many of their
most important lines of commu-
nication under the direct fire of
the French artillery.
Further east the Germans SIM
ilarly have not continued their
advance toward the Aronde riv-
er.
The crossing of the Matz river
by the Germans Tuesday night
constituted very serious threat
to Compeigne. 1t also tended to
weaken the French positions on
the east side of the Disc river.
The French successfully driving
the enemy back across the Matt.
