Announcement in Raid Report
This announcement was made in the
official report from Berlin Of the first
German raid on the American posi-
tions, in which three Americans were
KILLED, five wounded and twelve capt
ured.
The eastern end of the battle line in
France and Belgium runs through
French and German Lorraine. French
Lorraine, in which is the American sec
tor, is included in the departments of
Meuse, the capital Of which is Vcrdun;
Maurthe-et-Moselle, whose capital is
Nancy, and Vosges, with the capital ut
Epinal. The length Of the frontaNn
French Lorraine is about 15o miles.
This. section Of the battle line ex-
tends into the Meuse from the Marne
near, St. Menehould, and runs eastward
TO the north Of Verdun, south to ST.
Mihicl and east to the German border.
There 1t turns to the southeast, and
almost parallels the border 70 the vi
cinity of Leintry. Below Lcintry it
cuts across section Of Trench soil,
past Badonvillcr and Senoncs and to
the east Of st. Die, and again crosses
the German border at a point west of
Colmar. The remainder of the line to
the Swiss boundary Is in Germany.
Since the Battle Of Vcrdun there has
been no lighting Of first class impor-
tance along the Lorraine front, which
runs for the most part through high
and broken country, but hardly week
has passed without some minor actions,
in the more recent Of which, prcsum-
ably. the Americans have been actively
engaged.
Four Battles in January
In January four distinct engagements
Of some Importance were reported in
the French and German official COM
On January 16 German patrols in the
Upper Nosges captured prisoners, on
January 20 both the Berlin statement
and later report byGeneral Pershing
told Of al action near the Rhine -Marne
Canal, in which the Americans suffered
casualties. Further raids by the Ger
mans during the last week Of the
month accounted for American losses,
two Of Pershing's soldiers being killed
and four made prisoner on January 80.
Both to the south and north Of the
AdTIdlUc lEONL HEAVIER dCLIOuS nave
taken place. particularly in the St.
Mihicl and Flirey sectors, where the
French last month penetrated several
times into the German defensive posi-
tions.
The part Of the battle line now held
by the Americans is likely to in
crease IN Importance with the coming
Of rpring operations. 1t is not alto
sether. improbable that one Of the
major attacks in the long heralded Ger
man offensive may fall upon the Lor-
raine front, which has been marked for
some time by military experts as the
scene OF future fighting of intense
character. Furthermore, the belief is
widely held that if llindcnburg strikes
orc OF his main objects will be to de-
liver heavy blow against the Ameri-
can force in an attempt to weaken
their morale.

laughed at him for spending 30 much

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-05-17

The Jefferson county jail is prac- tically empty. There are just two men being held. and both are held for 2 minor offenses.
 This is the condition that las never before existed in the memory of the present generation.
 Time was when fifty was considered a small number in the jail of Jeffer- son county.
 A decrease ill the jail population began with the advent of prohibition, which probably has been the greatest factor in the big improvement that has taken place in Jefferson.
 With stricter enforcement of the liquor laws, and continued efforts on the part of the good people. we may hope for the time when crime will practically disappear.
 The improvement already wrought is nothing short of remarkable. when the composition of the county's popu, lation is considered. With so many negroes, it must be expected that there will always be more or less petty crime. And it is not to be expected that the white people will cease viol. atlng laws for some years.
 But the progress made is gratifying to The Graphic and to those who have fought and are fighting fo" he abol- ition of evils conductive to crime.
 Further improvement can be achiev- ed by creating a healthy public senti. ment that evils now tolerated will dis appear.
 If we will but convince men ana women that they cannot sin and evade punishment, they'll quit. For there are but few men and women not fear ful of public opinion.
 Public sentiment behind the officials will lead to stricter enforcement of laws. Publicity will do the rest.
 Let's continue to work for the es- tablishments of conditions that will in sure the safety of character. life and property. This will come when often ses against God and man-made laws
