German Line Slowly Forced
Back by the Allied Attack
By Henry Wood,
(United I'rau SUIT Corraapondont.)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
May 19 (By Mall) Since tho be
ginning of tho present offensive on
the western front, Germany's much
vaunted "unbreakable" lines have
boon pierced time and time again
by the combined attacks of the
French artillery and Infantry.
"' With the artillery concentrations
that Franco now has at her com
mand, and which are bound tor in
crease with every month of the war,
It has been demonstrated that tho
Gorman lines can be pierced at any
time and in any place that tho
French military authorities may
choose. ' "
To moot this changed sltuntton
Germany has adoptod a new fiction
with which to keep up the confidence
of the Gorman public In the strength
of the German westom front. In
stead of announcing now with each
thrust forward of tho French that
his lines remain "unpierced" Hin
donburg declares Instead that they
have romalned as "unbreakable" and
as "unbroken" ns ever.
The one thing that Isn't explained
Ib that the lino romnins unbrokon
merely because It bonds, and that It
bonds merely becauso It Iirb been
plorcod. As a mattor of tact prac
tically every largo French attack at
tho prosent time pierces tho Gorman
front. ThU forces the regimonts and
divisions at polntB whore the French
have gone through, to tall back in
order to keep from being encircled
from behind. Their falling back
draws with them tho other German
units with which they are In Im
mediate contact. By a general bend

with dependents, will be freed from
serving under the first draft.
The first call to arms will come
early in September, while the second
call for half a million men will prob
ably come In November or December.
Department of Justice agents are
convinced that anti-registration prop
aganda are not widespread, and that
no serious , demonstrations will be
made.
The government intends to draft
625,000 men on the first call, the

(Continued on page 4.)
ninns manage to close up the gap, and
aro unable to announce that their
line has- romalned "unbroken."
As a result of repeated piercings
and plorctngs that began with the
battle of the Somnie last tall prac
tically the entire German line in
France from its bnrbed-wlre and
trench rigidity ot fwo and a half
years has now taken on the form and
consistency ot an India rubber front.
A general retreating movement
has now been Imposed on the Ger
mans. : It has been imposed by re
peated -piercings ot the line pierc
ings which the French with their
present artillery concentrations are
able to keep up, if necessary, until
the entire German line, in order to
koop Itself "unbroken" wriggles and
draws back until it is again within
the borders ot the own country.
When the Germans began their
retreat from the Noyon salient as a
result ot the piercing of their lines
by the Somme offensive, they were
forced to abandon positions ot great
strength which it will never be pos
sible tor them to duplicate again on
the wostern front.
Hand In liand with every step back
ward to less advantageous positions.
the strength of Germany's new elas
tic front also weakens. Each French
attack and each piercing ot the line
imposes a losa In material and in men
thnt entails Inevitable weakness ot
the line's resistance as a whole.
While France is prepared if neces
sary to keep up her present tactics
ot Imposing a squirming retreat by
the constant piercing ot the line, she
has every reason to believe that be
bore long the time will come when
one ot these piercings will become a
"break,"

Maaked Man Menaces With Rifle
While Two Others Remain In
Background Sheriff Anxious
to Effect Cleanup.
To be driven from the range by an
armed, masked rider within 20 miles
of hla own ranch, where he and his
father have run stock for the last
three decades, wag the experience of
Edward Egii, of Harney county, who
with Sheriff W. A. Goodman, of
Burns, was in Bend this morning.
Both Mr. Egli and the Harney coun
ty sheriff fear the beginning ot an
other range feud, and Mr. Goodman
is determined to locate the rider and
prevent a recurrence of the holdup.
According to the story told by
Mr. Egli this morning, he was riding
for cattle Friday evening when he
saw three men in the distance.
One rode toward him, dismounting,
and aignaling for him to approach.
Toe rancher did so and as belrrer,
the man stepped, from benhrt hia
horse, a handkerchief tied over bis
face and a rifle covering Egli. A
command of "bands up" was fol
lowed by the demand to "get ot( this
range and stay off," The. rancher
was unarmed and could do" nothing
but beat a retreat, although be as-'
sured the man that he would not be
deterred from using that part of the
range in the future.
Sheriff Pledges Action.
Mr. Egli has no idea who the man
was, failing to recognize him either
by his appearance or by his voire.
The other two kept far enough away
so that they were safe from recog
nition. Mr. Egli himself was appar
ently well known to his assailant.
for the latter called him by name
at the same time that he demanded
his surrender.
"Conditions are getting bad when
a man cannot use range which has
been in the family's possession for
more than 20 years," Sheriff Good
map admitted, "but I Intend to see
to it that a speedy Improvement is
effected."
GIST WOMAN TRYING
HAND AT RECRUITING
Mrs. J. M. Carlisle, Postmistress,
Starts Canvass to Swell Ranks
of I'ncle Sam's Army.
If there are any men and boys in
Deschutes county who have been
able to resist the appeals ot the army
recruiting officer, and Corporal
Charles' Davis, who holds that posi
tion, declares there are many, thov
are going to have a difficult task
from now on, if they intend to wait
for the draft.
Mrs. J. M. Carlisle, postmistress
at Gist, is the reason. Saturday af
ternoon she came Into Bend, asked
Corporal Davis to be allowed to help
him in his recruiting work. She got
the job and showed that she meant
business by canvassing a number of
homes in the city before leaving town
a tew hours later. She is continuing
the work today in her own neighbor
hood. Mrs. Carlisle declares that she can
get recruits that a man would have
no chance of landing. She intended
to start by persuading a brother liv
ing in Gist to Join .the army.
