Breach Was
Serious Blow

Details Of Coughs failure have not
been allowed to leak out, but when ref
erence is made to what happened and
to the time when the Germans
were rejoicing over the failure
Of British generalship it is appar-
ent that the break through Cough must
have taken place on the second and
third days Of the German drive. On
the first day the British resisted the
storm of she'll effectively, and the
French have been successful through
out IN standing off German assaults
1t was the cutting to pieces of Coughs
army that made possible the large
captures of men and guns and other
material by the Germans.
1t wds also this breach that enabled
the GermanA to cross the Somme line
and seize the strong defensive posi-
tons in the neiGhborhood of Peronne.
This was the gravost moment in the
entire battle. The French had to take
over part of the British line and a
large section of the available reserves
had to be thrown into action to
strengthen the line and stem the tide
OF German advance. This accounts for
the fact that there has not been
counter offensive, this and the circum-
stances to which Haig alluded in a
dispatch after the destruction of the
Fifth Army, when he reported great
loss of war materials, including tanks.

Hand Of Foch
Seen in Change

In the sharp discipline OF Cough and
the appointment of Sir Henry Rawlin-
son is seen the hand Of locl, the new
Allied genoralissi General Raw
linson has been associated with Foch
in the inter-Alled War Council. and
there IS every reason to believe that
he was selected for that council by
Ioch just as there is reason to be-
llevc that his predecessor. General Sir
Henry Wilson, now chief of the British
imperial Staff, also was selected by
MIN. Further reorganization of the
British command Is expected, for the
failures of British gencralship, both in
the recent battle and at Cambria, are
too serious to be passed over.
Attention ~ beginning to be given
here to the icss Of material reported
by Haig as more serious than the loss
of ground Or of men, The Senate Mil
itary Affairs Committee had President
Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany before it to-day to inquire into
delays over the manufacture of the
French I5-nlimetcr gun, which in
spite OF the reorganization of the Ord
nance Department is not progressing
as rapidly as the Senator'S believe E
should. One thing that in the opinion
OF the members of the committee has
delayed the gun has been tho dctermi-
nation OF the War Department. to
mount the 10 on American gun car
riages. The American carriage is moro
complicated, slower to make and more
costly than the French carriage. 1t
developed to-day that the Ordnance
department has now largely abandoned
the American carriage for this gun in
favor OF the French carriage.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-04-06
American Gun
Delay Is Felix

Delays in the manufacture Of guns.
especially of machine guns, have now
become serious element in the Sit
uation. Our troops are being rushed
to France. They will have to be armed
BY the Allies, who have just suffered
the greatest loss in arms that thew
have met with since the war began.
and who now find turned against them
huge numbers of guns captured from
the Russians: The preponderance Of
arms on nc West front is now for the
first time IN couple of years over
whelmingly in favor Of the Germans.
Had the War Department made tho
machine guns and other guns that
could have been made quickly, had they
not insisted upon rcdesigning and i'm
proving upon weapons that had demon
stratod their fitness in war, this coun-
try would now be able to contribute a
great deal toward bringing the Allies
IN material up to the strength of the
Germans. American machine guns
might have been made in large num-
bcrs and would do much to relieve the
anxiety caused by the loss Of material
that resulted from the destruction Of
Coughs army.

CHAPTER NN.
"Chats With Fritz"

We were swimming in money from
the receipts of our theatrical venture,
and had forgotten all about tho war,
when an order came through that oli!'
brigade would again take over their
sector OF the line.
The day that these orders were is
sued. our captain assembled the COM
pany and asked for volunteers TO go TO
the machine gun school nj -. Omar.
| volunteered and was accepted.
Sixteen men from our brigade left
for the course in machine gunncry.
This course lasted two weeks and W.
rcjoined our unit and were assigned to
the brigade machine gun company. II
almost broke my heart to leave my
company mates.

would be dismountcd and again placed

We did eight days in the front-linc

the German lines was pulled of. THIS
raiding party consisted OF sixty conf

Lewis machine guns with their crews.
The raid took the Boches by surprise
and was n complete success. the party

The Germans must have been awful

The shells were dropping into our front
line like hailstones.
To get even. we could have left the
prisoners in the fire trench, in charge
OF the men on guard and let them click

treat prisoners that way.
Five OF them were brought into my
dugout and turned over to me so that

at ease. I liked him from the start.

Labor on the Farm and in Town.
Mr.. A. S. Boyer, who runs q plows'
told me that at the end Of this past
season everyone of his 81 tenants had
netted anywhere from $500 to $1,000
apiece. They spent it quickly and in
formed me that only the other day
he had to pay out about $4,000 as a
beginning in 1918 advancements. And
as to the advantage that the farm
negro has over the day laborer city
negro he told me Of one negro who
q year ago left him with enough food
stuff to last him one year and with
over 5000 who came up to Augusta
to work on a certain job. This negro
came back to him q few days ago
with all Of his money gone and was
wearing the same Identical suit Of
clothes that he took with him from
his plantation. And yet in the face Of
this we have hundreds Of negro men
and negro women working in day
labor matters here in this city who
could be reaping these large sums OF
money on the farm and who in turn.
on the same farm and in the raising
of food. would be serving their coun-
try ten thousand times better than
they are doing In the city here. The
city seems to have a demoralizing ef-
feet on these people. A groceryman
told me that on yesterday. out of
three porters in his store. not one
4irned up for the days work.-N. l.

LOW COUNTRY FARMING.

Correspondence The Yorkville Enquirer
Kline, S. C.-I noticed in a recent
issue of The Enquirer. where York
county farmers are now plowing.
Down here they have plowed all dur
ing the winter. All land is broken and
laid of in rows or staked of. as they
call it here. These rows are perfectly
straight and Of uniform width. Water
melons were planted the first Of last
week, and by the end Of this month. a
large percentage Of the cotton crop
will have been planted.
Vegetation in this section is putting
out rapidly. The fruit trees were in
full bloom the middle Of February.
We had several light SHOWS during
the winter, but very little rain. many
OF the wells have gone dry. AS we
have very little mud. we are able to
use automobiles 365 days during the
year. The land seldom gets too wet
to plow. and during the dry spell,
never to hard.
We had our first sand storm Of the
season Sunday. They are quite fire.
quent during the spring and early
summer. The early storms do not
amount to much except are a great
annoyance to housekeepers as the
sand sifts through everything, but
Later they are disastrous to young
cotton, corn and melons. In many
cases the crops have to be replanted.
Labor In this section Is very scarce.
The white farmer never plows, him
self. as York county farmers do, but
depends entirely upon negro labor. and
as many Of the negroes are In the
draft, all lines of labor are feeling the
effect. We have been able to keep
our mill going by. staying at 1t our
selves.
We have been operating this mill
since the summer Of 1912. and have cut
several million feet Of fine long leaf
pine. Most Of the timber here comes
from the swamps, and the long leaf
pine has been cut out, until 1t Ii get
ting scarce. ]. 8. Piexico.

 Prescott ought to have an opera house. Some of our people are inter- esting themselves in the project whether to such an extent that one will be built, we do not know, but it is a settled fact that city the size of Prescott could support medium size house in which travelling companies could show here two or three times a week. At one time not many years ago we maintained the best play house of any town between Little Rock and TeXarkana and some of the first-class travelling companies showed here.
