EXPERTS HOPE FUR
 MOST SEVERE DEFEAT
 EVER GIVEN GERMANS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON. Aug. 23-Almost unvarying success described in today's dispatches telling of the great allied of fensive on the 50 mile front stretch ing from Soissons northward to the en- Virons of Arras raised hopes in military circles here for the most severe defeat yet administered to the Germans. Ob- servers were of the opinion that Gen. eral F'ochs whiting tactics of the past six weeks have been so effective that opportunity has come for a glorious harvest.
 Absence Creates Speculation
 Absence of any mention of Ameri- can troops in the descriptions of the great fight led to interested specula = tion as to the whereabouts of General Pershins's thirty divisions, which, ac- cordinS to recent announcement are to be included in the first American field army That practically all of these units have completed the training for which they we're brigaded with the French and British has been known for some time.
 At Front If There
 It has been thought considerable number of Americans still are with the Brlt1Sn InlrQ ana fOurIn armies ana most military officers were at loss to understand why they had not been identified in the capture of some of the important enemy positions overrun during the day.
 Recent evidence of the mettle of Per shing's forces made it certain. it was believed, that if American divisions were with the allied troops, their To- cality tonight would be at the apex of the advance.
 May Have Important Task
 Some advanced the theory the move ment of American divisions to the sec- tor assigned to the first American ar my is under way.
 Concentration at this time of the ! United States divisions on the all American frent, when the forward movement of the more northern armies promises so much might mean General t'och has assigned to Pershing some important task closely linked with the major strategy.

Strong Positions Captured

The entire Arras- Albert road has been crossed by the British. The strongly held positions where the Ger mans saw distaster facing them if they fell, were stormed and captured and the British passed them going east ward. Notable among these places were Achiet-Ie- Grand, where bitter fighting has been in progress for several days; Boyelles and Gomiecourt, northeast of Albert
 Fortress Must Capitulate
 The taking of Achiet, and farther east of the town of Bihucourt, gives paume from which the railway and highway runs eastward to Cambrai Farther south the old fortress of Thiep- val is surrounded on three sides and it's equalization must follow.
 Friday night saw the British stand ing well to the east of Albert and south of the Somme they were holding Chuignolles and Chuignes and had thrown out forces eastward to out flank Bray on the south and Chaulnes on the north.
 Little Fighting Around Rove
 Midway of the battle line south ot the Sopme around Rove there has been little fighting, the allied com mander evidently reasoning that witt both wings of his offensive-near Ar ras and Soissons-working smoothly 1T the movement which is likely to com pei the Germans to seek refuge behind the old Hindenburg line. ground SCOT will have to be given here automat- ically in order to save large numbers of men, guns and supplies from cap ture.

 With the continuation of the French drive from the Matz River around tho bend in the line to the north of Sois- sons. however. particularly north O. Soissons. the Germans still within the lower portion of the old salient ap- parently are on dangerous ground. Int French are engaged in their drive il this region.

 Americans Probably Moved
 Although the Americans at the com mencement of the Somme offensiv, were brigaded with the British alont the northern bank of the Somme, nt mention of their having taken part il the fighting has been made. It i probable that they have been moved to some other front where Marsha Foch contemplates another smash.

FESTIVITIES
Annual Event Is Celebrated
With Especial Significance
This Year

Thanksgiving Day, the only exclu-
sively American festal day has come
again and gone-this year marked
with touch of significance unlike
any previous time; mingling Of joy
with sorrow in most households, and
IN all genuine thankfulness for the
greatest blessing possible to a war
worn world, the blessing of peace. And
the vacant chair, vacant from what
ever cause, IS surrounded with new
light of sacrifice
Thanksgiving festivities in Emmett
were largely on the order of family
gatherings and Of these, We not few:
Probably no happier gathering for
the celebration Of Thanksgiving could
be found than that which occurred at
the home of Hr. and Mrs. Fred Ans

sometime before Mr. Amsbaugh re-
ceived his injury, and the participants
fearing for Mr.. Amsbaugh's comfort,
SuSStStcd lHdL IL Dc postponed ulLll
a later date But Fred would hear
nothing of it, and accordingly, the
Alfalfa quartet with their families,
laden with the viands requisite to the /
serving of Thanksgiving menu, as
sembled at the lovely new bungalow
where the housewives joined forces in
the preparation Of the three course
dinner. Gorgeous flowers OF the sea
son, huge hothouse chrysanthemums,
had been placed here and there thru
out the rooms, and a large bowl of
these centered the table, enhancing
It's festal appearance. The after
iinner hours were occupied with mu-
SIC and readings, and the party, 10th

ANNUAL FARM BUREAU
MEETING
Big Time Planned for Annual
Session of Gem County
Farm Bureau

During the period since we entered
the war the farmers of the nation have
responded magnificently to the ap-
peals for increased production, and al
the people have complied with the ur-
gent requests for fuller conservation
Duringthis fall season our farmers
have planted an increased wheat
acreage and large acreage in rye
1t Is too early now to maks detailed
suggestions for the spring planting
season. We do not know how the fall
grains will come thru the winter and
we are not now able to forecast the de-
mands and the conditions which will
prevail after the first of the year.
This department, the agriculture
colleges and other organizations will
continue to give definite thought to
all problems and at the proper time
will lay the situation before you. Two
things seem to be clear: One is that
for considerable period the word will
have need particularly of larger su-
ply than normal of live stock, and es-
pecially of fats. We should not fail
therefore, TO adopt every feasible
means of economically increasing our
livestock production AS part of our
program we should give due thought
TO the securing of an adequate supply
of food stuffs and to the eradication
and control of all forms of animal di-
sease.
The other is the need of perfecting
the organization of our agriculture
agencies for the purpose of intelligent
ly executing such program as may
seem wise. We should not only have
the best possible organization and CO.
operation of the department of agri-
culture and agricultural colleges, the
state departments of agriculture and /
farmers associations, but we should
strengthen the local farm
bureaus and other organizations which
support so effectively the extension
forces and assist them in their activi-
ties. The perfecting of this organiza-
ton is highly desirable not only dur
ng the continuance of the present alb
normal conditions, but also for the fu-
.ure. The local as well as the state
md federal agencies are of supreme
Importance to the nation IN all its
activities designed to make rural life
more profitable, healthful and attrac- I
i've, and, therefore, to secure adequate
economic production, efficient distri- ,
'ution and necessary conservation. :.
The main purpose of this appeal is
o direct attention to the necessity of
our state of preparedness
nd of strengthening the foundations
f our agriculture. Such is the appeal
ent out by D. F. Houston, secretary c
agriculture. h
