THE LAST WORD
There is somehow a satisfaction
in having the last word in a subject
or controversy.
At this time the Journal offers
the last word in a campaign that has
been of more moment to Prineville,
the Prineville country, and Crook
county than any political or other
campaign that was ever seen, in our
minds at least, and that is the mat
ter of the county fair.
The fair is a social event to speak,
a place where for the time the peo
ple get together and witness enjoy
able events that tend tohli.'vethe
monotony of the toil for the year.
In these matters it has been the
idea of a number of people of the
community that fat stock, educa
tional and agricultural matter should
be the dominant features, and for
these people the Jounral has waged
an untiring campaign for these many
weeks.
The only returns a newspaper ex
pects is the knowledge of victory
in matters like these, and a thought
of gratitude from its readers as they
hurry on with their daily tasks.
At this time, the closing hours of
the campaign, we are indeed pleased
and note that the many articles,
the hours of unceasing effort and
labor, and the numerous telephoning
and other efforts are bearing fruits
in abundance.
That the fair will be an epoch
making event; that it will be all
that we have claimed for it and that
the people will be much surprised
and pleased with it this year is as
sured. The result is but a demonstration
of what the Prineville spirit can do
when it inoculates the people, and
but one of many things for which
there is crying need. Let us not let
this spirit lag in the matter of the
fair, and foster it in other matters
also.

ALLIES START LONG
ANTICIPATED DRIVE
Terrific Bombardment Precedes
Attacks on German West
ern Front
Paris. By a combined, simultan
eous onslaught with overwhelming
forces on every sector of the battle
front, stretching 300 miles from tha
North Sea to the Vosgea mountains,
the French and Hritlnh armies have
captured more than 20- mllea of Ger
man trenches and fortifications for a
depth lnmnny instances of two and
one-half miles, have seized various
villages and vantage points and have
taken mure than 20,000 prisoners and
many guns.
The battle was preceded by prepara
tory thunder of the hundreds of huge
new cannon built for the supreme con
flict and which, tor 50 hours, literally
rained tire' on the German fortifica
tions, both explosive and Incendiary
shells being hurled Into the positions
hold by the Teutonic soldiers.
With almost startling suddenness
the roar of big guns ceased. In the
next Instant tent of thousands of Brit
ish infantrymen leaped from their
trenches south of the region of La
Bassee canal and raced forward to the
first-line trenches of the Germans.
Many of these had been utterly de
atroyed; only mounds of earth freahly
turned by the bursting shells remain
ing where they had been.
The French attacked at the tarn In
stant on a front 15 miles wide. Divi
sion after division of infantry swept
across the open space between the op
posing trenches and cut their way
through for distances varying from
two-thirds of a mile to two miles and
a half.
The French made their chief onset
against the German lines around Per
thes, Beausejour and Sulppes, in
Champagne, where the attack gave
them possession of more territory
than they had retaken from the Ger
mans since the latter dug themselves
tn after the battle of Xlarne.
, The French also have regained the
cemetery ot Souchez and trenches east
of the "Labyrinth," in the Arras dis
trict, which was the scene of heavy
fighting earlier in the year.

ceeded In repulsing one of our divi
sions near Loos from its advance Hue
of defense to its second lime. Natur
ally we hadl considerable kwsetv In
cluding material of all kinds enclosed
between the two positions.
"In. the struggle between Rheims
and the Argonne, north of Perthes,
one German division was obliged to
evacuate its advanced position by a

to its second position, situated from
two to three kilometers behind the
first. However, all attempts to break
through failed."
