GERMAN ARMIES ARE
STILL FALLING BACK
Cannot Stand the Constant
Hammering From Haig's
Fighting Forces
HUNS ARE DISCOURAGED
DAILY LOSING MORALE
Retirement Is Marked by
Many Big Fires and Awful
Explosions.
A general resume of the situation
on the northern front in Picardy and
Flanders at the end of last week's I
fighting shows that the effects of
the recent British successes are
hourly becoming more apparent.
The enemy is steadily but surely going
back. Successive minor victories
in Flanders, the application of sus+

j^outh of the Scarpc, the exploitation
of the advances north of Peronne
and the steady bombardment from
the British cannon are all helping
the general movement.
The foe's retirement is being mark
ed by the usual destruction. fire
and explosions are reported from
various sections, especially the area
in front of the Hindenburg line from
the Bapaume-Cambrai line southward
where the torches seem to have
been freely used.
It looks as if the Germans are going
behind the line with its great
system of concrete dugouts and defenses.
They are net in the habi*
of destroying where they mean to
stay and besides, the crushing defeat
they suffered when the Drecourt-Queant
line was smashed makes
this ground exceedingly difficult
if not dangerous, to hold.
Machine (inn. .Manned.
On tlu oanks of the Somme, south
of Peronne, the enemy is manning
his machine guns and trench mortars
strongly : nd firing heavily on
the crossing and their approaches,
apparently fearing a British atten.pt
to crops.
At the same time the suburbs on
the southeastern outskirts of Peronne
where the German machine
gunners have also been holding ou
despeii tely have now been c'caivd of
the enemy, so that the position of
the Germans on the ea.-l oank of the
Somme is becoming increasingly
precarious.

Inchy-en-A rtois, strong i?ern>tin r?

that the Cm-mans will try to
consolidate their line in this 1< eality
with the Hindenburg lino at Somme
point: further south.
It was through a somewhat analogous
situation that the Dro.-ourtQueant
switch line was established
after the enemy was forced back

front of Arras. Tho old Hindenburg
line does not run straight north an I
south. To the south of the Drocourt
battle area it -wervcsharply to the
cast and then trails off southeastward.

| The German- may try t<> establish
a new dei'en.-ive line which would
run almost directly north and south,
joining tho Hindenburg line at some
point southwest of Cambrai, but
there are indications that tlu* enemy
is by no means sure that his effort
will meet with any success.
The very fact that since the Drocourt-Queant
line was smashed the
Germans have retreated from the
ground behind it first is of the firs!
importance to the retention of theii
defense in the north and south, with
out making a single formidable attempt
to regain their lost position
by counterattacks, is considered proo
positive of the enemy's weakness ii
1 h S C 'I ITi?l

The fact that the (lerman coin
moral has hesitated to withdraw an
considerable troops from other sec
tions of the front for the operation
here is taken to mean that the (lei
man command fears that such
movement would only lead lo anoth
or catastrophe.
Long periods of fighting withou
the slightest respite, the annihilatio
of whole formations. ar:<! the thoi
ough hammering th? .> have receive
have served to fix the idea of saving
themselves foremost in the minds
of the German troops. Every prisoner
in his comments on the great
battle seems to beaT this out. Almost
every diary and every letter taken
from Germans killed show that the
enemy troops on the Western front
have suffered from the long continued
fighting as never before. A typical
excerpt from an unposted letter
says:
"We are in mortal danger every
day. We can not last much longer.
We can not hope for further successes.
Our enemy is superior to us in
numbers and everything else. Victory
now is out of the question."
Many letters end with the words
"Poor Germany."
The German shoratge in men in
this locality may well be imagined
by the fact that anions llic prisoners
taken are men who were received as
drafts in the infantry formations
after having been combed out of the
field bakery and motor transport
columns.
One man in a typical letter complains
that the strength of his own
and several other companies has
been reduced to less than 20 each;
yet they were forced to hold on. He
concludes: "If the Tommies knew
that, we would not he here long."
As a matter of fact the "Tommies'*
do know it and the allied commanders
are well aware of the depletion
in the German ranks. The German i
soldiers, so far as they can be judtr- j
ed by the prisoners taken, realize j
fully the nature of the present retreat.
They know that their vain ef- j
fort to hold their successive lines of)
defense means that they are in for;
another winter campaign, with the j
terrible ordeal of an unsuccessful j
war and the prospect fills them with
the deepest depression.

loosen right up and lift out. without ;
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is ;
compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost bir
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid onc\fcet
of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon an:
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and short).
the corn or callus will loose n itr.d ca? ,

Just think! No pain at all; no sore,

In wheat in the country for the past seaaon. It can retain that :
banner. The great wheat belt of the West will have a big task to wrest ,
It from It.
Some Facts About Growing Wheat In The South.
The universal success attending the growing of wheat in the South 1
during the past season is evidence enough that it can be done again.
Wheat can be grown best on clay loams or sandy clay loams. The soil
should bo broken as early as possible and harrowed.
Varieties that have done well in a community are most like'v the best
to sow.
The seed should be treated for biuuI before planting. The formaldehyde
treatment is preferable.
Seeding in October U better than November in the South. A good,
vigorous growth is desired before winter sets in.
Where the Hessian Fly is forntd, wheat should not be sown until alter
i mf in 11 uai,
Bettor yields are obtained when the seed is drilled Into the ground than .
when sown broadcast.
Fertilizer can l>e applied in the drill. Generally speaking, a 10-2-2 fertilizer
or similar brand will be found satisfactory and profitable at this time.
Don't he stingy with it.
Nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia can usually be applied profitably
as a lop dressing in early spring.
Fall Reminders.
Remember that the time to select seed corn is in the field, from good
healthy stalks, that have a maximum number of ears placed right on the !
stalk. - I
Selecting good seed for the cotton crop next year should likewise be attended
to while the plant is still growing. Tag the desirable stalks and {
keep the pickings separate.

Occupations , .? ;

ground for the establishment of
claims for exemption from military

Marshal General Growder to

Sept. 12.
Important modifications are based
upon the change of a few words in .
the original draft law made in passing
the new man-power act. The
term "industrial occupation" is eliminatcd
and the law now provides
persons may be given deferred classification
when engaged "in occupation
or employment, including agriculture,
which can be established as
necessary to the military establishment
or the maintenance of the nat- \
ional interest." ^
This section, officials pointed out,^
today with the regulations coiv tni:

iiik it, win uouniLeiy anew district
exemption boards to exempt bankers
and esf?mtal bank employes when engaged
in necessary commercial enterprise,
and necessary workers for
Hod Cross and kindred organizations.
The regulations will not attc nipt
specifically to define the status of
registrants who shall be onttiled to
exemption, but will allow the boards
to work out the details, after the authorization
has been given them. It
was said the regulations would
straighten out completely a situation
arising since district boards in va- yr
ions localities have ruled, under the
old law, that railroads and hanks are
not industries and that an importer
of necessary war materials and his
staff are not engaged in industry.
Since the requirement that a man
exempted because of his occupation
must be of such importance as to
threaten the continuance of the enterprise
to which he is attached, has '
been retained, however, that sum
total of exemptions is not expected
to seriously affect the new man pewor
which will finally bo placed in %
class one.
