NEDAN DAY fell this year on
our Labor Day. It was the
gloomiest Sedan Day since 1870
for the Germans. On top of the
many defeats their armies had suf-
fered in the preceding six weeks
came another crushing reverse. The
famous Queant-Drocourt line - and
work of nearly two years-was over
run by the British for more than
half of its length. Ten thousand
prisoners were lost-the full strength
Of German division.
But this was not the worst of it.
General Horne's operation proved
again that there is no longer any
inherent strength or virtue in forti-
fled lines. They cannot hold unless
the armies defending them are equal
to the task of counter attacking the
enemy when he passes the weakly
held front zone and thrusts against
the deeper battle positions.
The Germans, on their retreat out
Of the Montdidier salient have had
the advantage of many long pre-
pared lines of defence. They had
their own first line, established last
April beyond Montdidier and Albert.
They had next the old Noyon salient
line Of 1914-17, from which Hin
denburg conducted his "strategical
retreat year ago last spring. On
the front east of Arras they had the
Wotan line and then, some miles be-
hind it and paralle!ing it, the
Queant- Drocourt line.
All these have been smashed by
the Allied armies. The old linden
burg line of 1918 sometimes
called the Siegfried line) has also
been broken. Any line the Germans
may erect III France or Belgium NAV
be broken just as readily with the
methods and appliances now at the
disposal of the offensive. The sud-
den loss of the offensive by Luden-
dorff at the critical moment of the
1913 campaign has not alone hope
lessly disarranged German military
plans. 1t has pinned Germany down
to an exhausting struggle to hold
positions which cannot be held. It
has imposed on her the prospect of
constant retirements, weakening man
power, slackening morale and acute
psychological depression.
A bitter Sedan Day! And Sedan
Day next year will be even bitterer.
The German armies east of Arras
and northeast of Bapaume could not
rally after Mondays defeat. They
failed to react yesterday anywhere
on this front. The British advance
continued almost unopposed. The
Allied front is now only about five
miles west of Cambria. Hornes
army has crossed the old Hindenburg

enemy divisions, which WAS the I'd

division had been in. the fighting for
more than week, and that it's effec-

the German losses had been heavier
than any they had previously suffered.

LONDON (NIGHT) After the
heavy defeat inflicted on the enemy
yesterday our progress on the bat
tlefront between Peronne and the
Sensce River continued o-day, and
our troops reached the general line
Of Ypres, Beaumctz- les. Cambria, Ba-
ralle, Rumacourt and Leclusc.
Hostile rear guards which resist
ed the advance of our infantry have
been captured or driven back with
10, and heavy casualties were in
fcted on the retreating German col
umns by our artillery. Large mum
bcrs of the enemy retiring in close
formation over the ridge northwest
of Equancourt were successfully en-
gagged by our batteries over open
sights.
In his hurried retreat quantities
of stores and material of all kinds
were abandoned by the enemy, and
have fallen into our hands.
AS a result Of successful opera
ton this morning south of the Lys.
English troops have taken Rich
bourc-St. Vast and established
themselves OH the line OF La Bassee
road and between there and Estaircs,
which is in our possession. num-
Der OF prisoners and few guns
were captured in this attack.
Our posts have been pushed for
ward slightly in the western out
skirts of Lens and east and north
of Givenchy -Les-La Bassee. During
the night we made progress north
east of Steenwerck and entered Wul-
verghem.
LONDON (DAY).-Our operations
carried out yesterday south of the
river Scarpe were completely success
full. The enemy was heavily defeated
in his prepared defences Of the pro-
court -Queant system, with the result
that he is retiring this morning along
practically the whole battlefront
In the course Of yesterdays battle
in addition to inAicting heavy losses
on the enemy we captured 10000
prisoners.
We are now advancing, and are re-
ported to have entered Pronville,
Doignies and Bertincourt.
Canadian troops showed the great
est skill and courage yesterday in
storming the Drocourt Queant line.
These lines had been perfected by
the enemy in the last eighteen
months. They provided the most for
midable obstacle, as they had been
furnished with every device of mod
crn engineering.
The enemy had reinforced his de-
fences here to such a degree that on
front of 5000 yards no less than
eleven German divisions were iden-
tilted.
Undetcrred by the strength of his
defensive organization, the Cana
dams, assisted admirably by British
troops on their left, carried all be-
fore them.

Those defences we're of the most
formidable character, but our troops

result that this important pivot fell

BERLIN (DAY).--ARMY GROUPS
OF CROWN PRINCE RUPPRECHT
AND GENERAL Won BOEHN.-Be
tween Ypres and La Basse there
have been successful infantry en-
fragments in front Of our new posi-
tions.
Between the Scarpe and the Somme
the British continue their attacks.
Southeast of Arras they succeeded by
putting in strong, superior forces in
thrusting back the infantry line on
both sides of the Arras Cambria high
road. On the line of Etaine, the
eastern fringe Of Dury, east Of Cagni-
court, northwest Of Queant and the
northern fringe of Noreuil we held
the enemy thrust. Enemy attempts,
several times repeated, to press
further forward over the heights be-
fore Dury and east of Cagnicourt
against the canal failed owing to the
intervention Of our reserves, which
were in readiness.
Enemy attacks made on both sides
of Bapaumc, in part with tanks and
in part after the strongest artillery
preparation, were repulsed.
North Of the Somme, after vigor-
our engagemo<ts, we retained the
heights east Of Sally Saillisel,
Moislans, Aizecourt-le Haul and the
eastern fringe of Peronnc.
On both sides Of the Nesle- Ham
railway line Reserve Infantry Regi-
ment d Ell, which especially distin-
guished iself during recent engage
ments, yesterday also repulsed re-
peatcd French attacks. Apart from
this there was only artillery activity
between the Somme and the Oise.
After the strongest artillery prep
aration for several hours the French,
supported by Moroccans and Amcri-
cans, attacked in the afternoon be-
tween the Disc and the Aisne. At
tacks launched from the plain of the
Ailette against Pierremande and
Folembray failed under our fire. At
isolated places our counter attack
drove the enemy back. In n portion
of the wood west and south Of
Coucy Chateau the enemy pressed
back our foremost line somewhat
from the Ailctte
Between the Ailette and the Aisne
very strong enemy attacks, several
times repeated, failed. The Gafde
Cuirassiers and the 9th Dragons, UP
to and including yesterday, had re-
pulsed sixteen enemy attacks, and al
ways succeeded in holding the posi-
tions intrusted to them.

the German forces in terrible offensive
 and drove the wedge that won Belgium
 back in a month. How about the blow
 General Mangin delivered with his Poilu,
 north of Soissons, that battered the Crown
 Princes forces into pulp and finally cost
 them the Chemin des Danes and Laon? How about our own implacable battling of month against the best that Germany could offer and which resulted in a second Sedan for the Prussan powers? And how long did Germany last against the world
 after her allies fell? Hardly a month. Even in the beginning, when she was at her full strength and the allies were not, she was checked and turned back at the Marne and held at Verdun. It is true that she beat Belgium and Russia and Serbia and Rumania, but against French and Eng fish armies she did nothing to boast of at any time and when she cried enough, her troops were reeling back, beaten and broken all along the line, and the dough boys, man for man, matched the best of the Prussian guard and drove them back. in every encounter from Chateau Thierry to Sedan. If the German people, now or at any time hereafter, can gain any shred of comfort from close study of the vic tories and defeats on the western front in the great war by all means let them do so. Beyond the fact that their troops fought bravely, but were out-fought by the allies. there is little they can gain.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE
CFrom Tucson Citizen.)

While the next legislature will be pohti-
 cally one-sided, the majority of the mem
 bers are substantial business or professional
 men and it Is the general opinion that Ari-
 zona may expect the lawmakers to remedy
 some of the most important defects in the
 statutes and go home.
 Indications are that A. A. Johns will be
 president of the Senate, although Mulford Winsor is making big fight for the job. D. H. Claridge, president of the last Sen ate, who Is a candidate for reelection, will probably retire from the race, as W.\W. Lines, the Graham county representative in the House Is slated for speaker. Both Lines and W. W. Pace withdrew from the race for senator to let Claridge run, after the superior court had decided that there would be no election for tax commissioner.
 Claridge was candidate for the nomina- ton.
 The primary measure IS always the ap- propriation bill, which is usually not whip ped into shape until the last few days of the session. It IS to be hoped that the legislature will get busy on appropriations earlier this year and use the pairing knife. There are d 1uIIlOCI Ol OlllCCS WIliNil OdlA OC ated and democratic legislature should not be averse to doing the job as they will be occupied by republicans for two years.
 We are not in favor of junketing trips, but all state institutions should be investi- gated by special committee and the con dition of all funds ascertained preparing to adopt budget system. The people of Ari- zona will never get down to business basis until they have budget system for state affairs. There are too many wide open appropriations, and consequently, too many leaks in the treasury. Arizona needs good watch dog and we hope the present legislature will develop one. The primary and election laws are a tumble and steps should be taken to amend them and give Arizona decent cleo ton laws. The present provision for a recount is monstrous and the system by which republicans are tempted to register as democrats at the primary is an unfair one and does not give a real expression ot the sentiments of the voters of any party
 Ample appropriations should be made for the building of roads and for the sup port of the schools Arizona has more to gain by good roads than any other state in the union The legislature always makes liberal provisions for the University of Ari- zona, the state highest institution of learn ing and the normal schools If possible some means for taking these institutions out of politics should be found In general the whole educational system should be revamped in accordance with the recom- mendations of the United States depart ment of education, which found the Ari- zona system to be obsolete.
 The Arizona legislature which convenes in January will have an opportunity to make a name for itself Following as 1t does the conclusion of great war in which America played such prominent part, it can add greatly to the prosperity of the state and build soundy for the future by passing some intelligent and progressive measures

Good morning, Mr. Sugar Bowl, glad to welcome you back to the table. Mighty glad!" One never misses the water til the well runs dry. In the good old days we used to sit down to meat and murmur at the cost of eggs and butter and beef, never once giving a thankful thought or an ap- preciative word to the faithful old sugar bowl standing bravely at our right hand. Then came the relentless hand of Hoover and took 1t away Bing We found we missed it more than the eggs, butter and. beef all combined How we sighed and mourned for it. How the housewife wrung her hands in despair as she tried to cater to the family without sugar. Only pound per head month! Only lump day. Only a spoonful. Heaven, how we did miss the sugar. And now the old bowl Is back at the old stand with the old sweet smile. Thrice welcome, Mir. Sugar Bowl, may you never leave us again in our sour sadness and unsweetened sorrow.

Just as was feared all along by thought
 ful men, the German people still unrepent- ant and far from chastened, now claim that, while their leaders were defeated and their governments S aims overthrown, yet their army was unbeaten by the efforts of the world in the great war.

How about the third battle-of Cambrai2 English troops, supported by American and French divis- ions, gained revenge in this struggle for all that they had suffered during the war.
