American Take Offensive on
Wide Front.
MARKS A NEW STAGE IN WAR
Allies 6elighted-Two Americans Cap
tured Give Germans Chance
To Report American
Prisoners.


Picardy attacked on front of one and
quarter miles, captured the village
of Cantigny, took 200 prisoners and
inflicted severe losses in killed and
wounded on the enemy, says General
Pershing's communiQue made public
at the War Department. The Amer
lean casualties were relatively small
The statement follows:
"In Picardy our troops attacking on
front of one and one fourth miles
advanced our lines and captured the
village of Cantigny. We took 200 pris-
oners and inflicted on the enemy
severe losses in killed and wounded.
Our casualties were relatively small
Hostile counter-attacks broke down
under our fire.
"In Lorraine and in the Woevre
artillery of both sides continued &C.
tive. Early in the day our aviators
shot down a hostile machine"
Two lone Americans gave the Ger
mans an opportunity to mention the
capture of prisoners from American
regiments" in the German official COM
munication
One of the Americans is missing
in Picardy and one in the Luneville
sector. These are the only men re-
ported missing.
British Army in France-The Amer
lean troops on the French front, near
Montdidier, delivered an attack against
the German positions, fought their
way through all detectives, including
the village Of Cantigny, and captured
140 prisoners.
The American attack was along a
two-kilonletre front, and it seems to
have taken the hard-hitting Ameri-
cans just about three-quarters of an
hour to complete their conquest,
which included that amount of terri
tory, as well as the village of Can
tigny-an exceptionally short time for
such an operation.
This remarkably fine showing comes
as fitting companion piece to the
brilliant work done by the United
States soldiers in repulsing an enemy
assault made against them in the
same region. One American division
was attacked at that time, and the
gray coats met with a complete re-
versal at all points.
This attack was not a heavy one,
however, and was easily dealt with
by the Americans who had the situa-
ton well in hand at all times.
Word of these two victories have
added much to the very favorable i'm
| preston which the American troops
already have created along the Brit
ish front. 1t was foregone con-
clusion that the Germans would make
the newest of the Allies along this
front the object of an attack, in an
attempt.t to push them back and there
by create a feeling that they had
formed a weak link in the defending
chain.
The general opinion of the way in
which these American troops have
handled themselves in the last few
days seems to be summed up in a
comment made by a French liaison
officer.
Magnificent" he exclaimed with
delight. THAT is the sort of stuff we
will give the Boche."

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING.

IF there ever was a last Thursday in
November which deserved nationwide OBJ
servance as Thanksgiving day, this Thurs
dav. November %, 1918, is that day. No
man is too eloquent to breath the message
of Thankfullness which should ascend from
every true American heart for the return of
peace. thru which this nation has escaped
the war burden of lost sons, that would have
been hers had the struggle prolonged.
And while the majority of us are thus
thankful that the loss of dear ones has not
been the measure of our devotion to the
great ideals of our land, we should not lose
sight of, nor fail to think of those who have
paid the price, and greater still should be
our gratitude to those who have bled and
died of the ideal that gives up liberty and
the blessings Of peace.
America has dedicated the lives of sew
eral thousands of her sons to the cause for
which the nation fought this year. They
truly fought to save this beloved land from
the scourge of Prussianism. And while we
are duly thankful that the number of them
who had to die was no greater than it Isl;
we should too remember in our thots the val
liant deeds of the millions of allied soldiers
who fought our fight thru the long drearv
years from 1914 to 1918. To ponder on all
these things; should make us all truly
thankful.

IDLE RUMoRs.

There is almost no way in which com
munity any none than an individual can
protect itself against the rumor monger
Also it is hand TO counteract the effects of
such activity, save as time reveals the truth.
Over in Payette, and on the Furitland
bench, there have been number of people
who believed that Ontario was filled with
Flu. These people in number of instances
telephoned local stores and told of reports
they chad heard" OF coudse they believ-
ed them, or at least played safe and remain
ed away from this city.
Two Ontario women, while in Payette
last week, were told, while i'm one of the
stores there, ''that Ontario was contamnat-
ing Payette with the Flu, and it was from
here that the Payette people caught it,"
Certainly this was not true, tho the
one who said it no doubt believed it; or else
was guilty of deliberately attempting to in
jnre the business of Ontario firms.
1t is true that Ontario had a large
number of cases of Flu, but no more than
any other town of this size in this section
1t is alho true that the local physicians can
trace the origin of most of the cases here
from outside points. Nampa, Boise and
Baker City are the direct sources of several
cases, particularly those among the work
men ON the drainage system. Likewise the
illness in several families is traced to mem
bers who returned home from one of the
! points named i'll with the disease and com
mnnlcated it to other members of their
families.

TIME TO GET BUSY.

Residents of Ontario whose houses are con
nected with the old water system should be
busy these days seeing to it that they are
connected with the new mains prior to Jan
uary l. On that date the water will be
turned off in the old mains and they will
find themselves without that necessity of
life; or at least must secure il at great I'M
convenience.
The present system of two distributing
systems is needlessly expensive to the city,
and will entail considerable loss, which the
new system will have to carry as long as the
old system is used. 1t is therefore a matter
of good business on the part of the people
to connect with the new system in the next
few weeks.

McADoo's RESIGNATION.

! The resignation of Secretary of the
Treasury. William Gibbs McAdoo, will be
variously interpreted, no doubt, but there
will be no difference of opinion regarding
the work that he has done for the nation
during the past two years.
While as director general Of the rail-
roads he has been subject to some criticism
as Secretary of the Treasury he has admin
istered his stewardship well. He has de
monstrated that he is big man, man of
calibre equal to any of his many gret pre-
decessOrs.
The greatest, and the most oft repeated
structure laid upon him is that he was at
tempting to do too much for any one man
to accomplish well. That may be true,
but if he has made any grievous mistake
the public generally has not been appraised
of it. He has 1oated the greatest bond is
sues in the history of nations. He has done
this while directing the greatest aggrega-
ton of railroads on earth, and while q new
system of banking was being put in running
order.
His rise from comparative obscurity to
a height of power second only to that of the
President is another proof of the ability of
the American people to furnish the men for
Perhaps the secret of Mr.. McAdoo's
ability to accomplish the almost impossible
is that he has not hesitated to call To his as
and to recognize their ability, men
WI = are able to do big thilTs He has not
been afraid to surround himself with mon
Of great ability and experience.
Now that the war is over the President
will have no trouble ih finding q man or mc u
to take the positions which Mr. McAdoo Is
leaving, but the people generally will sc
cognized that in his departure from the cab
met one of the really .trong men of the al
ha, 9Jlt
There is no doubt that there are many
citizens, particularly Republicans who will
believe that Mr.. McAdoo is TO take the rest,
ne no doubt needs, to get into condition for
the Presidential race of 1920. If this is the
case he will have great advantage over
another Democrat who aspires TO the honor
Df leading the Bourbon party. Being a.
Southerner of recongized ability he has an
over any Northern Democrat; be-
sides this his New York residence of years
and his construction of the McAdoo tube
will bring strength there where it Is needed:
and besides this he will, undoubtedly fall
heir TO the administration strength and
prestige.
The one element which he may find hand
leap rather than help will be his relation
ship TO the President. The American peo-
pie are not keen for dynastic succession.
To counteract this, of course, Mr. McAdoo's
friends will point to his own record prior
10 his marriage to the Presidents daugh-
ter, his work as a lawyer and a builder, and
to his record i'm the Cabinet.
