London—In the face of heavy snow
storms and in places strong resistance
by the Germans, the British have
pushed their lines as far as Monchy-le-
Prex, five miles east of Arras, and
made further important gains on Vimy
Ridge.
The official statement from British
headquarters describing the operations
now in progress on the Arras-Lens line
reports the capture up to Tuesday
evening of 11,000 prisoners, including
235 officers, more than 100 guns, in­
cluding heavy guns up to eight inches,
60 trench mortars and 163 machine
guns.
The Canadians, who had one of the
hardest bits of the front to contend
with, are now in complete occupation
of the famous Vimy Ridge, even its
eastern slopes having been cleared of
the Germans.
The Canadians have
also repulsed German counter attacks.
These reactions by the Germans in­
dicate the importance they attach to
this position, whence the conquerors
look down over the plain of Douai.
With Vimy Ridge gone, the whole Ger­
man line covering the French towns
and industrial districts to the north be­
comes a wavering one and any leis­
urely retreat the Germans may have
planned is made uncertain and precar­
ious.
With the capture of the famous
ridge the British made a considerable
stride along the road to Douai, while
the capture of the high ground north­
west of St. Quentin tightens the chain
which the Anglo-French forces are
drawing around that town.
A German diversion southeast of
Ypres, according to General Haig’s re­
port, met with no success.
The Germans destroyed great quan­
tities of supplies at the last minute to
prevent their capture.
The weather continues bitterly cold,
with snow flurries, but the British
forces are clad in sheepskins and are
kept well fed.
The main feature of the battle thus
far, on which attention has been fo­
cused, is the capture of Vimy Ridge.
The immense value of this series of
heights, which dominate the plain
from an elevation of from 400 to 500
feet, has been recognized throughout
the war and great sacrifices have been
regarded as justifiable if they resulted
in its possession.
Ways and Means Committee
Agree on War Loan Bonds
•
y
Washington, D. C.—Democrats and
Republicans of the house ways and
means committee, at its organization
meeting Tuesday, united in approval
of the administration’s war financial
program calling for a $5,000,000,000
bond issue, of which $3,000,000,000
will be used as the basis of loans to
the allies. Chairman Kitchin, with
the authorization of the committee,
will report the bill immediately and
its passage this week in the house,
he thinks, is assured.
Little delay is anticipated in the
senate. Within two weeks the meas­
ure may be on the statute books.
To prevent any possible financial
handicap to the military needs of the
country through delay in raising the
$1,750,000,000 proposed as the amount
to be obtained by taxation, the ways
and means committee decided to em­
body in the bond issue authorization,
authority to the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue as needed $2,000,-
000,000 in one-year treasury notes to
anticipate the tax receipts which will
result from the war revenue bill. The
latter measure will be considered after
the bond issue has been disposed of.
Indications are that considerable
time will be required to draft the rev­
enue bill and that both houses will de­
bate it at length after its introduction,
which may delay its passage.
Arms Smuggler Taken in Pacific.
San Diego, Cal.—A munitions-carry-
ing schooner, bound for a Mexican
west coast port, was fired upon and
captured by two United States torpedo-
boat destroyers, it was learned here
Wednesday night from authoritive
sources.
Five shots were fired at the vessel
when it attempted to escape, it is said,
and the ship was then beached.
Sev­
eral thousand rounds of rifle and ma­
chine gun ammunition waa taken
aboard the destroyers and landed at
Pacific Coast ports, according to report.

pected German naval attack when the
Gulf of Finland is free of ice.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press reached the famuos island fast-
ness by traveling over the vast ice
waste which separates it from the

Inland Empire Educational
Association Meeting is Success
“The session of the Inland Empire
association held at Spokane last week
was one of the most representative
and important educational meetings ‘
ever held in the Northwest, ” said Mr.
J. A. Churchill, superintendent of pub­
lic instruction, who returned to his
office Wednesday. “The four North­
western states, Montana, Idaho, Wash­
ington and Oregon, took part in this
convention. Oregon was well repre­
sented and her school men received im­
portant recognition.
“Two movements of particular edu­
cational interest were organized at
this meeting.
Plans were made to
have research and survey work under­
taken by the association on questions
affecting the educational interest of
the four states. There was also or­
ganized the Northwest Association of
High Schools and Higher Educational
Institutions. Three Oregon men were
elected as members of the committee
to adopt standards for the high schools
and colleges of the Northwest states,
and to inspect and pass upon the quali­
fications of the schools seeking admis­
sion into this association. They are
Mr. W. R. Rutherford, city superin­
tendent of Eugene; Mr. George W.
Hug, city superintendent of McMinn­
ville, and Mr. E. P. Carleton, assistant
state superintendent of schools. Mr.
Linden McCullough, city superintend­
ent of La Grande, was made second
vice president and a member of the ex­
ecutive committee. J. H. Ackerman,
president of the Oregon Normal school,
was made a member of the council for
the Inland Empire association, and
Mr. O. M. Plummer, of Portland, was
made chairman of the School Board
department. On the program for the
association from Oregon was Superin­
tendent J. W. Todd, of Salem ; Mrs. G.
W. McMath, of Portland; Superintend­
ent Hug, of McMinnville; Superintend­
ent Rutherford, of Eugene ; President
J. H. Ackerman, of Monmouth; Miss
Hallie C. Thomas and Miss Anna John­
son, of Portland; Mrs. M. L. Fulker­
son, of Salem, and Prof. E. D. Ressler,
of Corvallis.
Superintendent J. A. Churchill was
made president of the association for
the coming year. He was also chair­
man of the committee on resolutions
for the meeting this year. When Mr.
Churchill read the resolution relative
to pledging the loyalty of the teachers
and their schools to this country in
this time of the present crisis, the en­
tire assembly rose to their feet ap­
plauding and sang the Star Spangled
Panner.
Farmers Meeting War Demands.
Olympia—Advising that the farmers
of the state use all available ground
for barley and oats add declaring that
the wheat crop of the state for the
coming season would be a record­
breaker, P. J. Sweeney, recently ap­
pointed hay and grain inspector for the
state, issued a formal statement.
“The farmers are complyig with the
request of the government and are
planting their crops in a way that will,
unless a failure in those crops occurs,
assure the state of a bumper crop, ”
said Mr. Sweeney.

from all over the state will discuss
farming and agricultural subjects.
While French draft horses were
ruled out by the judges at the State

The huge 150-ton stack of flax which
was stacked and roofed over last Octo­

Although the last legislature adopted

"PEACE?” WE SHALL FIGHT UNTIL FRANCE IS SAFE!
?
Point of View of the French Poilu as Reported by E. Phillips Oppen-
heim, Writing From “Somewhere in France”—“It Is Belgium
Who Shall Make Peace When It Comes; Who Has
a Better Right?”
By E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM.
(In the New York World.)
Somewhere In France.—It was a
slow and tedious crawl In the long |
French train away from the battle- |
scarred country. There was nothing
particular going on at the front, yet |
we seemed to be continually shunted
for the passing of huge supply trains,
moving eternally In the other direc- |
tion. When the morning twilight rolled
slowly away from the face of the
country, leaving at first little clouds
of white mist hovering over the fresh­
ly plowed fields, the sound of the
guns was still in our ears. The face
of the country, however, had changed.
There were farmhouses to be seen,
some of them intact and apparently
prosperous, a chateau or two on the
hillsides, old men and women and
young girls at work in the fields.
We stopped at the station of some
small town and ‘stretched out our
eager hands for the cups of hot coffee
and the rolls and butter wheeled
along the length of the platform. The
warmth of the coffee was like a talis­
man. My two companions thawed, as
I did, under its genial influence. Mon­
sieur Poilu accepted a sip from my
flask and a cigarette with a grateful
little ejaculation. Madame, elderly,
in deep mourning, a little shabby but
wonderfully neat, beamed content
upon us. The smoke did not incom­
mode her. As for the flask—ah, well,
she took only coffee and a little wine
and water herself, but nothing in the
world was too good for the brave
soldiers.
A German Peace.
Conversation blossomed out between
the two and flourished. At first I
barely listened. We were passing
through a marshy district which re­
minded me of home, little pools of
water, tall rushes moving in the
morning breeze, sedgy places from
which, at the sound of the shrill
whistle of our locomotive, a flight of
ducks rose hastily. Then I heard a
word behind me which in these days
inevitably stirs the blood. The word
was “Peace!”
I turned away from
the window and listened.
“But, my son, have patience," the
old woman was saying. “I speak
who may speak, for I have lost a
husband and two sons. Yet I have
others fighting, and it is of them I
think. If indeed these Boches are
weary of fighting, if indeed it is peace
they offer, why should not one at least
listen?”
The Poilu turned toward her. His
haversack, with its queer collection of
miscellaneous articles, was on the seat
by his side. The mud of the trenches
was thick upon his clothes. There
was a week’s beard bristling upon his
chin. Yet his voice suddenly pro­
claimed him a man of some education.
“Madame,” he demanded, “who are
they to offer peace as a gift, they
who deliberately brought this war up­
on the world? And what sort of a
peace do you suppose is in their
minds? You have read the boastful,
arrogant words of their emperor’s
declaration? Is there anything there
of the humility of the wrongdoer, of
the man who wishes to restore what
he has stolen, to repair the’ greatest
wrongs which have ever stained the
pages of history? Peace, indeed,
mother ! There is no peace in their
hearts.”
“It Shall Be a Belgian Peace.”
Madame sighed. She felt herself no
match for this man in whom her
words had kindled a sudden elo­
quence. But In her heart there was
the longing.
“They are brutes and savages, my
son,” she admitted, “and our people

regulate food prices. He asserted in

goods, the manufacture of which are
not affected in any manner by the war,
