TELLS REAL TRUTH

cause the record of our destroy
ers is a proud record. They are
beautiful little instruments of
the sea. They especially appear
beautiful when you have been
five or six days wondering what
the submarine zone is going to
look like, and you find them a.
side your boat some morning
four or five hundred miles out
from the Irish coast. They bob
up and down, with the waves go
ing over them. Those boys new
er sit down. AT a meal they eat
out of their hands. They are
some of the unnamed and UNI
known heroes of this war, and
they seem to have a new way of
doing this. Instead of circling a
round as the British deStroyers
and the French destroyerS, when
they see a submarine they go
right straight for it. There are
chances in that; oh, yes; but
they are swift enough and skill
full enough almost to dodge the
submarine, and the submarine
has learned it.
"The American boys on these
destroyers have put the fear of
God into the commanders of the
submarines. Let us increase the
destroyers until wherever there
is a submarine the destroyers
will be after them and the sea
will be rid of the most hellish
of satanic devices pressed to
complexion by the devils chief
of staff, commonly known as the
Kaiser.

lifelong advocate of temperance,

THE QUEENS MESSAGE.

The message of Queen Mary to the
women of the empire is a message IN
keeping with those which in less hap
Ply times she sent out as source of
strength to the home line of defense.
1t has good sense and good cheer;
it has dignity, humility, sweetness,
courage and womanliness. Referring
TO the women she says:
II have been allowed to watch and
appreciate their work in many parts
of the country and my head is (ful
of admiration and gratitude for what
l have seen"
Not only has the queen watched,
she also has worked. The hospitals
know her we'll and the munition
plants. All kinds of war work found
in her and her household assistance
to the uttermost The food regula-
tons did not stop at the palace gate.
The most rigorous example of obed-
fence to the laws made necessary by
the war began there. Their majesties
have not prated about their burdened
people. They simply got out and got
under their share of the load In
her concluding paragraph the queen
says:
"As we have been united in all our
work, whether our head or hands, in
a real sisterhood of suffering and
service during the war, let us go on
working together with the same I'M
ity of purpose for the resettlement
and reconstruction of our country"

situation entailed by the nationwide
epidemic. School was closed by offic-
ial decree on Thursday, october IL,
although no cases of influenza had, as
yet, developed in the town of Silver
City. Prompted, however, by a desire
to cooperate with other communities
less favored by escape from the dis
ease, and a desire to take he stitch
in time" all assemblies in excess of
six persons were prohibited. This wise
measure has been rigidly observed
throughout the county and il is I'M
questionably due to this sane attitude
that a very serious crisis in the town s
health history has been successfully
passed.
When school was suspended stu
dents were told that they would re-
ceive advice Immediately upon the re-
ceipt of permission to continue their
studies, only well begun and so alb
ruptly discontinued. Accordingly the
office is busy sending hurry-up let
ters and the splendid student body
will be reassembled at the earliest
possible moment. Telegraphic advice
is also icing rushed to all faculty
members who are visiting out of Sill
Yer City, and everything will be in
readiness to resume operations on the
day mentioned.
The work will be taken up exactly
at the point where it was interrupted,
and the spring term extended to the
close of the summer term ending the

success of the undertaking inaugu-

flagstaff, Ariz., Dec, 2S.-Word
came to Flagstaff Of disastrous fire
at Tolchaco--where the Presbyterian
Navajo mission is stationed. The fire
started between and 10 o'clock in
the morning and though the people at
the mission school and the traders as
well fought like tigers to save the
buildings, their efforts We're vain.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but since il started in one of the roofs
of one building, presumably a defec-
tive flue was responsible.
The loss is quite serious for the
school \ established there has been
growing of recent years and main
tains accommodations for a large
number Of Indian boys and girls.
These are absolutely without cloth
ing or bedding and the winters sup
ply of provisions was entirely swept
away
Rcv. f. G. Mitchell holds hopefully
to the fact that The future still holds
something good for them even in this
disaster.
The history of the mission is a
beautiful one and the buildings were
replete with Indian relics and inter-
esting data all lost by the disastrous
blaze.
over $4,000 Navajo Indians are
scattered over this government ressr-
walton and this school was doing a
powerful work among them. Rev.
Frank Mitchell was not only the head
o fthe mission work maintained there
but was also postmaster for Tolchaco.

Under the terms of this order Off

Estimates are made by army Off

Is characterized as "cruel and unjus-

An unexpected adverse decision on

Swiss Comment on Successive Ger
man Defeats.
Washington, Aug. 31.--"We are only
in the beginning of this terrible awak.
ening for Germany, and 1t is impos.
sible to foresee where 1t will lead
her."
This editorial utterance of the Ma
tional Zeitung OF Basle, Switzerland,
commenting on successive German de-
feats, is quoted In Official advices re-
ceived here.
"The belief in Hindenburg and Lud-
endorff," says the same editorial,
has been inspiring the German peo-
pie for years. 1t was the real secret
of its strength. No reasonable person
would deny they are remarkable
chiefs, but they might make mistakes,
they might be beaten. and they have
been beaten.
THAT represents complete confu.
sion in the mentality Of the German
people. The German people have
been brought up for generations in
the unshakable belief they could rely
ON victory and they were the strong
est people. All their conceptions of
the world were influenced by this
principle"

SEEK BETTER GROUND
German Generals Compelled to
Shorten Battle Line.
enemy Is Retiring to Positions More
Suitable for Defensive
Purposes.

London, Aug. 31.--It is now clear
that the Germans intend to retire to
shorter line on the western front,
British observers say, where they can
obtain better offensive positions
against the constantly repeated Allied
blows and so that the enemy can
economize his forces, which has be-
come an urgent necessity on account
of his lessening manpower.
Moreover, the moral effect of any
kind of retirement has been proved to
be very great on the German people
and armies and the enemy's present
intention is undoubtedly to make a
stand on some line well west of the
Hindenburg line IL possible.
The Germans are watching favor
able line along the Ailette, Disc,
Somme and Tortille, but it remains
to be seen whether they will be per-
mitted to make a stand there, or even
carry out a retirement, according to
plan," to this line without it being
broken somewhere else by the eager
Allied forces.
The most important obstacle to the
German scheme at present is the re.
cent British advance on both sides
of the Scarpe, which is serious flank
ing threat to the whole Hindenburg
position.

Vladivostok, Aug. 31.-Along the

All the Allied forces participated in

Prohibition Until End of
the War.
NO ROLL CALL TAKEN
Amendments to Defer and Advanos

Time for Operation Against
Wine and Beer Fail.

Washington, Aug. 31.-A consider.
able step forward has been taken by
national prohibition in congress.
Without roll call the Senate passed
the compromise bone dry prohibition
amendment effective July 1, 1919, and
continuing during the war and until
the American troops are brought home
and demobilized.
The compromise, an amendment by
tion leader. to the Sill 100000 emer-
gency agricultural appropriation bill,
is expected to remain In the meas
use under the harmony agreement of
wet" and dry" factions, although
technically subject to another vote.
Efforts to materially change the
amendment were futile. Amendments
to advance and defer the effective
date and to extend the time for its
operation against beer and wine were
overwhelmingly defeated without rec
ord roll calls.

Senator Phelan of California made q
vigorous fight for a longer lease OF
life for the wine and beer industries.
He offered amendments making the
effective date for their prohibition
June 80, 1920, instead of year earlier,
as the amendment provides, and also
applying the later date to wines alone.
Both were rejected overwhelmingly
by viva voce vote. Another Phelan
amendment drowned in roars OF
noes" would have extended the ef-
fective date for wines six months
longer, or until December 81, 1919.
With wet" and dry" members

Canadians Crash Clear Through
Hindenburg Line East and
Southeast of Arras.
COMPLIES IS CAPTURED
French Hold on Ailette River Despite
Counterattacks by Germans Against
Mangin's Army--Somme River
Crossed by Haig's Men.

London, Aug. 91.-Moving forward
with sustained power, British armies
east and southeast of Arras appear to
have crashed clear through the Hin
denburg line.
Dispatches seem to indicate they
have begun to roll up" the German
forces on the front to which the enemy
is retreating along the whole Picardy
front.
Progress southeast of Arras would
seem to be the most important feature
of the news from the great battle
front. Canadians, it appears, are slow
ly advancing along the Arras-Cambrai
road and are widening the gap in the
famous line to which the Germans re-
tired Is months ago. 1t seems that
any great additional British success
in this region may shatter Germany's
hopes of conducting a defensive cam
paign along this front, to which it is
probable the Germans now are hastily
withdrawing
Hun "SwitchIine" Menaced.
Bullecourt, which was on the Hin
denburg line, has been taken Hende-
of Bullecourt, has also fallen before
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's men.
South of Hendecourt and slightly to
the east, Riencourt has been captured
by the advancing British. East of
Arras, astride the Scarpe, furt :
gains are reported.
The Drocourt-Quent "switchlin
now is within striking distance.
British Take combIes.
Further south the British have taken
the village of Combles, where there
was terrific fighting during the Ger
man retirement year ago last March.
West of Peronne the British have
captured the town of Clery, and they
also have crossed the Somme west and
south of Peronne Biaches on the
south bank of the Somme and about a
mile from Peronne, has been captured.
The British have made further ad-
vances to the north of Lens. At one
place they pushed forward for a dis
tance of 1000 yards.
French Hold on AiIette.
There were counterattacks by the
Germans against General Mangin's
army between the Ailette and the
Aisne, but those were repulsed by the
French. who hold positions east of
Pasly, which is less than two miles
northwest of scissors.
Allies Make Large Captures.
Large numbers of prisoners and
many guns and much material are fall
ing into the hands of the British. The
untiring British, French and American
forces are maintaining their pressure
against the enemy, who now has lost
all his important bases west of the
Hindenburg line except Peronne, Ham
and Tergnier. The British now are
within two miles of Peronne on the
southwest and the French are five
miles west of Ham.

With the American Army in France,
Aug. 31.-The Americans, accompanied
by full fleet of tanks and covered
by heavy artillery barrage. swept
forward against the German lines,
which slowly and reluctantly fell back
over the Juvigny district.
The Americans held positions in the
fighting line in the scissors region
extending in northerly direction from
Chavigny.
ALI the skill of General Won Schwer-
in, commanding the Seventh Guard
division, is being exercised to hold
back the Americans at their point in
the line and save the Germans from
the menace they would face should
the Allies occupy the plateau extend
ing farther toward the east.
Guns Fire Point Blank.
The German positions were shelled
most vigorously by heavy guns, NOR
tars and light pieces, firing almost
point blank as well as by long range
naval guns, which searched the posi-
tions far and near.
Up over the plateau the infantry
men went toward Juvigny and across
the little railroad running north and
south. The Germans Immediately be-
gan to employ the tactics Of similar
retreats, leaving their rear defended
by line of machine guns hidden be.
hind every clump of brush, promon-
tory and woods. Only few detach-
ments of infantry were left, the en-
emy again adopting measures planned
to save the most men possible.
From Couronne woods and another
little wood standing like sentinels be-
tween Juvigny and the American lines,
the German guns delivered a deadly
cross fire. Juvigny is only a village,
but located along the side of a hill, 1t
offered peculiar opportunity for de-
fense, until the advancing forces
moved into positions from which they
were able to make it untenable. The
resistance then stopped, the Germans
retiring farther east into more broken
ground.
