TANKS VICTORY
 ALMOST PERFECT.

American Headquarters in Lorraine, Sept. 13.-The St. Mihiel salient, created by the Germans at great cost to secure an adequate frontage to ground of much value to them, and which no efforts of the French had been able to wrest from them, has been eliminated by the combined American and French forces.
 The attack was made in the time honored manner of attack on both sides of the salient with elastic pres sure around it's apex. More complete success could hardly have been ob- tained and all objectives were reached well in advance of the expected hour
 The enemy had probably determin- ed, in view of the pressure applied, ts accept a strengthening of his line here as he had done further west, but ii that really were his intention, he lost a surprisingly large number of men Apart from any that may have beer taken at the apex and on the westerT side of the salient, those captured II the southern attack greatly exceeded

 The group of from 100 to 300 pris- oners streaming back through the ad- vancing guns were the most mixed lot imaginable. There were some fine big gunners, more than six feet tall, and there were children of IA, fright ened out of their wits.
 From one o'clock in the morning the sky blazed with the light of the great artillery battle, something which had not been seen for months
 on this part of the line. When the troops went over, what daylight there should have been, was obscured by the driving mist and rain. Later in the day the weather improved somewhat, but the rain-sodden ground made the progress of the transports and heavy guns exceedingly difficult. The southern attack extended past i Montsec, a great natural fortress l. 200 feet high, practically to the Mo selle at Pone- Mousson. This is open, rolling, grass land-country. It would be difficult to find more advantag- eous fighting ground.
 The Germans undoubtedly were busy getting their guns away and the support offered to their sacrificed in fantry was weak in the extreme. Of counter-battery work there seemed to be none at all.
 Though the day was unpropitous, the airplanes did splendid work, sweeping on the retiring infantry
 and driving them clear of the road,
 besides pushing every German plane
 out of the sky and bring down several balloons in flames, including one
 most prized by the Germans on the 1 high ground at Marieulles.

SUN ON JOB
Is HOURS!

Summer is here. 1t officially
began at II o'clock Friday night.
Old Sol remained on the job at
later hour Friday night than
ever before in the history of Ia
coma and those who follow the
precept of early to bed and early
to rise were able to go to bed
without artificial illuminants. The
daylight saving time, coupled with
the lengthiest day of the year,
gave Tacoma all the trimmings Of
a summer evening in the Arctic,
as the sky was lighted with the
afterglow Of sunset until nearly
1920.
Other days have been as long
actually, but the new daylight
saving plan made the lengthiest
day of the year seemingly an hour
later.
Friday night marked the end of
spring and the beginning of sum-
mer, the sun having crossed the
line at II o'clock. For the next
six months the days will continue
to get shorter.
Sixteen hours of daylight Sat-
urday gave Tacoma citizens plenty
of time to buy war savings
stamps, strafe the weeds in the
war garden and gas the caterpil-
lar. The sun rose at 5:14 a. m.
and will disappear at soc. D.. m.
In the evening.
