Field Marshal Haig : order that no more
ground be ceded is being rigidlv com
pied with, as is attcsted by the thou
sands of German dead now living before
the British positions southwest of
1pres, where it is the ambition of the
high German command to break through
and envelop Field Marshal Haig 3
forces and gain an open highway toward
the English channel.
Northwest of St. Mihel the American
troops have been compelled to withstand
a series of persistent assaults, second in
intensity only to those delivered bv the
Germans against the British in Flanders.
And the honors at the end rested with
the Americans, who met the foe at
every style of fighting he offered and
decisively defeated him.
At Neuve Eglisc. northwest of Armcn-
there's, where the Germans are end2av-
oring to drive their wedge in farther in
order to turn the Messines ridge and
outtlank Yprcs, the heaviest fighting has
taken place. Throughout SATURDAY. night
and Sunday battles Of a most obstinate
character took place, the Germans
throwing thousands of men into the at
taeks, Notwithstanding their wastage in
killed or wounded Several times the
villages changed hands
Nowhere along the eighth front
where the Germans are irving to drive
through between Wulverghem anC
Metercn have the Germans met Will
anything but repulsc, and the price they
have paid for their attempts to pierc,
the British line has been enormous. Or
no sector have they been able to sur
mount the stone wall Of the defence and
for the moment at least, there seems t,
be justification for the hope that tn
turn in the tide of the battle is at hand

Following is a summary of the situa-
tion announced late last night:
The entire allied line in Belgium and
France is holding firm.
Nowhere have the Germans been able,
Notwithstanding the great numbers of
men hurled against it, especially that
part in Flanders where the British are
holding, to gain an inch of ground.

momentarily. The latest reports this
forenoon showed that the British line
was being strongly held as whole in
this northern zone, and in some instances
has been considerably improved by coun-
ter strokes.
The British last evening followed up
their success Of Saturday, when they
pushed the Germans back from Robecq
on the Clarence river. Local counter at
tacks delivered on the German positions
5000 yards to the east of this town
were completely successful and the
enemy again was forced to fall back
somewhat The British in the course OF
the afternoon also pushed out severa
posts north of the canal between the
Lave and Clarence rivers. These opera
tions indicate that the defense of the
entente allied troops has stifrened.

.FALBY WRITES FROM
 SOMEWHERE IN OLD
 FRANCE TO BISBEE
FORMER LOCAL BOY, NOW SER CHANT IN FAD O JAR ER s
 COMPANY OF 15sTH INFANTRY GIVES IMPREs ssIoNs OF
 FRENCH PEOPLE AND CUSTOMS

Writing from Somewhere in France" Allan Falby. formerly a resi- rent of this city but now a sergeant in headquarters company 15Sth infan- try. tells interesting things about France, the French people and the life of an American soldier abroad. In a letter to his aunt, Mrs. Bertha Swan son of 157 Temby avenue, he says in part:
 'The camp is very near the front line in the outskirts of a pretty little French village. I saw quite a goCd deal of both France and England and they are both very pretty. France is one big, lovely garden. ! will tell you all about it wien I come back Touring France in a Box Car" will be a fine title.
 "I have gotten some inside views and being thus close to the front l can tell you this war is no picnic party I haven't heard anyone over here say the war will be over by Christmas I guess it's a case of hell Heaven or HobOken for all of us. We are just as anxious as ever to hit that German line. Have seen lots of Germans but they're all prisoners. and l have talked with. the wounded at the different English rest camps when we stopped. They have all been through about seven different kinds of hell, but We are as tough as any of them, so l guess We can stand the strain.
 The weather sure is ideal, but they say three feet of snow in the winter is the average and this is our sector. Oh, bet We thin blooded soldiers from the border will wish it was a wee bit warmer. But we will soon have Fritz on his knees. begging for mercy, and then back to the good old U. s. A. One never knows how much he loves the good old States until he finds himself in a strange place. among strange peO- pies and customs.
 q am doing fine with my French but I get my Mex, English and French all running together and I guess the natives think I am crazy. Anyway I almost make myself understood and that's better than most of them do here.
 Best regards to any of my friends you may see.

CONTRACTS LET
 FOR GRADING AND
 PAVING HIGHWAY
Commission Awards Bids on Two More Sections of the Road Between Here and Douglas

Dirt will soon be moving on the Oth- CT sections of the state highway be- tween here and Douglas. Contracts have already been let by the Cochise county state highway commission and the outfits are expected to be at work within the next ten days.
 The commission recently let the contract for grading, draining and con- creting the first section of the road to Eaton & Smith, a San Francisco firm. who have just completed some work for the Arizona Eastern Rail road company near Globe and they are expected to have their outfit here within the next week. The section on which they have the contract runs from the bridge at Lowell, where the railroad crosses the Denn mine, to the big cement bridge just beyond the seven miles out.
 The contract for the second section was let for the grading and the plac- ing of the bridges and culverts. The grading of the road was awarded to George Atkin, who has just completed the grade work for the Southern Pa cific Railroad company at Pay Car curve about four miles west of Ben son. He is expected to move his out fit onto the job within the next ten days The contract for the placing of the culverts and bridges was given to George Oswald, who has the paving and culvert contract for the third sec ton Of the road. The second section of the road runs from the bridge at the Forrest ranch to Forrest station.
 The grading of the third section is rapidly nearing completion under the contract awarded to C. J. Johnson. This work has been going on for a couple of months.
 No contract has been let for the paving of the second section but it is expected that it will be let before long.
 The commission has decided to ask for bids to be submitted on November II for the grading of the balance of the road between Curtis Flats and Benson. Towhey Brothers are now at work on the stretch from the junction of the Benson road and the Fairbanks road about three miles west of Tomb stone, to the Curtis Flats.
 The commission will soon have four different outfits at work in the coun- ty and expect to let other grading contracts as soon as possible in other sections of the county. With the four outfits working in the county they will be in better shape to submit bids for grading work than others who would have to move their outfits from other sections.
 The commission has labored under difficulties in securing bids on the diff ferent work on account of the price of labor and supplies going up so since the original figures of the estimates were made when the bond issue was advertised. The commission has no authority to spend beyond the amount estimated on the various roads as call ed for in the bond issue at the time that it was submitted to the people for approval. The commission now has made good start and is in hopes to keep the contractors at work in the county until all of the roads as adver- tised in the bond issue are completed.

TO THE VOTERS


 There has been some talk as to whom I would appoint as my deputies( in the event of my election as sheriff of Cochise county. In order to make it clear. I will state that I have made absolutely no promises to any man. Should I be elected I will guarantee that the deputies 1 appoint will be capable men, free of domination by any clique of persons or corporations, and that they will uphold the law without fear or favor.
 l might add that I am making this campaign upon my own resources as l made my campaign two years ago, and for which I am still owing over a thousand dollars. And if elected I can pledge that I am independent and free of any influence and can administer the duties of that office according to law, and without fear or favor of any person or corporation.
