WAR SUMMARY
(Ry The Associated Press)


The St. Mihiel salient, after four
years of German occupation is
threatened on both sides by the
First American army certain French
troops cooperating in the operation
of a major character under the lead
ership of American commanders.
The immediate object OF the
American drive, apparently, is to
close the mouth of the salient, from
which the Germans will experience
great difficulty in extricating them
selves without heavy loss OF men and
material.
Ultimately, il is believed that Gen
eral Pershing hopes to cut off the
eremy's control OF the Brieyc ore
region from which are obtained
much OF the raw material Tor the
German guns and munitions. At the
present rate OF the American ad-
vance, the occupation OF the German
fortress at Metz in Germany, is a
possibility.
Americans Eager for Battle.
Well prepared by months OF tram
ing. the Americans were favored IN
their initial appearance as a unit IN
the great allied force by favorable
weather and firm terrain. In the
first few hours they reached their
objectives at some points, and still
were progressing at Others in the
latest strategical move OF Marshal
Foch's program OF offensive action,
which since July Is has resulted IN
driving the Germans from the great
er part OF OF the territory gained by
them in their drive for Jaris and the
channel ports.
More than a dozen villages were
captured in the early hours OF the
drive, which also netted the Amer
leans eight thousand prisoners, with
more coming in to the cages. On
the northern side of the salient, both
hinges OF which are controlled by
General Pershing's forces. the line
has been advanced to Don Martin,
La Montague, Tresavant, and Boui-
lovlle. American cavalry patrols
and tanks are reported to be operat-
ing northeast OF ont-a-MouSson,
along the railroad line leading 20
Metz. about ten miles distant.
Battle Front Extended.
The battle began on a front OF
about twenty miles on the triangular
salient, with the French holding po-
sitions directly in front OF St. Mihlel.
As the conflict developed and the
advance went forward, the front was
greatly increased in length, prob
ably to about IS miles. The dis
tance between the points of great
est advance at the mouth of the sal
lent is about ten miles. 1t is over
this short front that the Germans IN
the salient must escape.
Field Marshal Haig'S British
forces are pressing the Germans IN
the north and advancing their lines
near the coveted position OF Cam
brai after crossing the Canal dy
Nord. In this advance which result
ed in the capture OF Havrincourt,
the British captured one thousand
prisoners.

HALO MAKES STATEMENT

DOUGLAS, Jan. 4.-Now that the incident is closed, John Haho, owner of the launch Pheasant on which a large amount of liquor was found by officers Tuesday evening, feels that a statement is due from him, he having been the goat. According to MT. Haho, no particular destiny was mentioned when he was engaged to make a trip in his launch and he had no idea that it was for the pur- pose of carrying any liquor. He accepted an offer at so much per day to take his launch out and while he was home preparatory to starting out on trip, the liquor was put on board and slowed away and even when he returned to the launch he did not notice it's presence and his first information concerning it's presence was given him by the officers. In view of the fact that the owner of the liquor, Seth Orava, acted the man and paid Haho's fine. there is no doubt but that the latter was innocent of any intention to violate the law.

CAMOUFLAGE AID
 TO WHALE YARNS

Whale stories, camouflaged and
 real, told by three Alaskans re- gently from the North, struck the lobby guests of the Hotel Stevens with awe and amazement, says the Seattle Times. Frank Shooter of Hoonah, Alaska, a fisherman, re- l4ted one.
 s"Last season, when the whales were. pretty desperate" Shooter said, '1 had lowed a big piledriver up to Icy Strait, which is about 10 miles from Juneau, and was going to drive stakes for my fish nets. About the second day there a huge whale got entangled with my an- chor wire and started for sea with my piledriver in tow. and at good rate of speed. It was five days later when we recovered the piledriver, with the whale still at tached The whale was exhausted.
 Nun Wyckoff and Jack Gustafson, both of Juneau, attempted to tell some blood-curdling tales of their whale adventures in the Northern country, but lost their audience when they plastered the camoufage on too thick.

side. When he finds a place where there is no wind he should walk very quietly for he is almost sure to see a deer in this place. He should look around carefully and watch everything, then walk a little distance, then stop and look around.
 He tries to see deer before it begins to run. If it is running he should shout at it. When it stops he must not wait an instant but shoot and kill it. As soon as it is killed it should be prepared for packing.
 The Alaskan people have studied all these things from generation to generation and so they understand how to track game, and deer hunting is very interesting to them.
