WHERE DO WE GO SECT?
When they charged the St. Mlhiel
salient, the American troops sang,
"Where do Wa Go From Here?"
That question becomes all the more
Interesting, to them and to ns. In
view of their phenomenal success.
They have demonstrated a gratify
ing ability to' go through the German
llnea almost at will. . They do not
donbt that they are going to sweep
forward in th general direction of
Berlin, until they ' get across the
Rhine and as much further as la ne
cessary to force the German govern
ment to nncondltional surrender.
But that lg a pretty long, hard, de
vious road. What will he the next
move?
Experts agree that after the re
duction of that big salient that jut
ted so long into the French front,
our army will proceed to the redemp
tion of the great system of Iron
mines that He hack of it. Meti seems
on the map, a natural objective, and
Mets win come Into its inevitable
fate in dne time; but it Is of more
practical and Immediate importance
to drive the Germans from the Great
Briey mining region stretching from
Mets northwest to Longwy.
Hair of that valuable territory was
, stolen from France by Prussia in
1871. It was only through an over
sight that Prussia failed to take It
all. She remedied that error by grab
bing the remainder In her first dash
at the opening of the-present war,
thereby depriving France of the
mines that furnished 90 per cent of
French Iron before the war, forcing
France to rely on England for her
metal, and giving Germany an envl-
' able c monopoly of the most . funda
mental of all raw war materials.
From that area Germany has been
getting, for war purposes, as much
Iron as the whole United States pro
duces. It has been her principal ma
terial asset Without it, she would
soon have to stop fighting.
It Is evident what a tremendous
victory it would be, to wrest those
iron mines from the Huns, particu
larly if the British at the same time
succeeded In winning back for
Franca the big coal region around
Lens. Germany will fight desperate
ly to hold them and Germany must
. not be permitted to hold them.; Eco
nomically they are worth untold bil
lions. Militarily they ; are th key-j
tone of the German war; and the
German etnBW. . There Is, a'", man1

According to the Medford Tribune
the Medford-Jacksonvllle railroad
will be sold because S. S. 'Bullls, the
president of the road, wants to get
rid of It, and not. because the govern
ment has commandeered the rails.
Bullls is said to have stated that he
la "going to sell it and wants some
one else to carry the load." Appar
ently the Jitneys hare put the road
out ot business, the same aa they
have almost done the six-mile road
from Montague to Treks and many
other branch lines.
Many people gloat in the fact that
they do not have to wait for a train
but can go In a Jitney, yet when It
