A Republican Victory

Returns from the State and Nation
are not as yet definite, but suficient
is at hand to indicate that both the
state and nation have gone Repub-
lican.
Phipps and Shoup are both elected
by good majorities, and with them
goes most Of the Republican state
ticket, with the possible exception OF
Mrs. Bradford and James r. holland,
who seem to have pulled through.
The Democratic defeat Ia Colorado
is due to several causes, but the lead
ing cause was evidently the repudis-
tion Of the Gunter administration BY
the party. There was also strong op
position to lyman, due to his backing
by the Denver Post.

IN THE COUNTY

Phipps corried the county by 46
votes.
Ed Taylor's majority will be about
1856.
The unofficial returns gives Shoap
l6l plurality.
Shumste carries the county BY l62.
J. r. Smith. the Democratic lsgis-
lative candidate, got a. majority In
this county. but report SHOVE he lost
by about 200 In Garfield.
In the county ticket contest the
Republicans elect commissioner, rs
SCISSOR. and surveyor, and the Demo-
Gratis get clerk and recorde, sheriff,
treasurer, superintendent OF schools
and coroner. Claude Wilson, Demo-
Gratis, had no opposition, and Kirk
Shaw, Republican, had no opposition
for county surveyor.
The unofficial returns show that
Wear has 3O7 majority for sheriff.
The race for Treasurer, between
Shepherd and McWilliams was the
closest in many years. The unofiici-
al returns gives Shepherd lead of
votes. There are eight or ten votes
to come In from absent voters, and
not likely to change the result.
Davis for assessor. carried the
county by 32l.
Mrs. Stephenson won with a maj
ority OF 148.
For coroner, DIR. Farthing has So
votes to the good.
Fred Nickols has l20 majority for
commissioner. 1t WAS expected that
Fred would get q good vote In Meeker
as this was where he WAS raised and
has always been popular, but the
Democrats weren't looking for l0S
majority, at the county seat, in his
favor.
The vote was light owing to the
prevailing Flu" epidemic, but both
parties probably suffered alike from
this cause.

The Hindenburg Line

Precisely what WAS the Hinden-
burg line, the conquest Of which by
the Allies made the defeat Of Germany
certain? We have heard SO much OF
"trench warfare" and read 30 many
descriptions OF trench construction
that we are inclined to picture this
Hindenburg line AS merely a tre-
mendously complicated system of
trenches defended by the usual wire
entanglements and machine guns. IL
was that, but 1t was much more: 1t
was a very formidable system of
field fortification, often several miles
deep, In which every defensive de-
vice that German ingenuity had in
vented was In use.
Strictly speaking It was only some
sixty or seventy miles In length. AT
each end 1t rested on positions Of
great natural strength: Vimy Ridge
In the north and the st. Gobain Pla-
teau and Forest In the south. Be-
tween these two points there are no
convenient river lines OF defense and
few natural obstacles-none such,
for example, as the low-lying, easily
flooded course Of the User In Flanders
or the Aisne with Its steep bluffs a.
long which runs the famous Chemin
des DANES. The Germans had to
fortify that region, and they did 1t 40
thoroughly that they honestly be-
