mained wilh only lnnm:oc portals,
hut the trenches, including nil eom
liiiiniciilion lines, have been unmerci
fully buttered about.
Ko successful was the artillery bur
ner set up by the llritisli back of
the (ierman lines Hint some of the
(ieruinu prisoners reported they hud
been without I'oikI supplies for four
days.
The barbed wire entanglements
protecting the Oeimnn positions were
obliterated nnd only stray strands
could lie seen here ami there on tile
first line. The tlwrniigliness with
which the wire rutting was carried
out by the nrtillery was a. Iii fac
tor in ueeeleriiting the speed of Hie
iiifnnlry in Iho utlnek.
Troops (iivcii est.
The .est of successful warfare
could be felt in all parts of the llrit
isli front today. Troops were swing
ing forward with hands playing gay
tunes. Ihe Scutch troops, behind
their pipers, were purliciilarly pic
turesiiie for not even tho work of
nearly three years war has caused
lliem to discard their kills.
Out over Hie newly won ground air
planes were scouting, while beneath
tlicin were tanks at rest. The funks
had done splenilidly throughout, es
pecially in attacking strongly wired
points wilh which the nrtillery had
not dealt. Some (Ierman anti-tank
guns were captured. Machine guns
and trench murltirs were tuken in
such large numbers that they have
not ycl been counted.
A cavalry corps hud Hie uniipie
distinction of eupluring two big ho
witzers. They charged Ihe guns in
Hie open, killing several members of
the crews before the others sur
rendered, A (termini motor trans
port, column was captured intact. It
had expected to meet (lernuin troops
at a certain point, hut encountered
Hiitish instead. The drivers said Hint
when they left Douni (hero was no
idea that the attackers had reached
so far.
Prisoners Sent In.
Thousands of Herman prisoners
could he seen along the roads today.
Some had little round caps and
oUiers were wearing the great coal
scuttle steel helniil. Although the
intense cold colli inucd, few had
ovei als. They are a docile lot nnd
somewhat surprised their captors liv
carefully sorting themselves into
ihcir respective units before being
registered anil temporarily caged.
In response to inquiries made by
over 'ill applicants from .Medford
and vicinity, (Junrtcriuustcr Norstrom
in charge of the navy recruiting of
fice of this city, announced Wednes
day that those persons desiring to
enlist in the Naval ('oast Defense Ife
servc should communicate with the
commandant of the J'uget Sound navy
yard.
He has received a letter from the
commandant stating that that offic
ial cannot lit present slate when lie
will send out another recruiting
party to seek enlistments in Med
ford. The recruiting party that visit
ed Medford two weeks ago, enlisted
."ill men iiiul women ill the Coast De
fense tteserve.
(uaileruiaster Norstruni suggests
that all applicants experienced . in
electrical and steam engineering nnd
machinists, stenographers, telegraph,
telephone nnd radio operators should
communicate directly with the com
inaudiiut of the I'uget Sound navy
yard instead of waiting for another
recruiting party to be sent here.
Smaller cakes were provided for the
officers. Four of the luttcr have
been in a furious rage ever since they
were taken. Tliev were in a forward
observation post, they said, nnd saw
the infantry coming buck from their
front line, but hud no idea that they
were actually retreating. Their anger
was due to the failure of these troops
to give them warning so that they too
could flee.
The patriotic meeting to be held
Thursday evening in the city park,
under the auspices of the Flying
Sipiadron, which is boosting for re
cruits for the Seventh Company, ('
A. (',. will be culled to order lit 7:30
o'clock. In case of inclement weather
the meeting will be held in the Cuth-
bert building, u'th street und North
Central.
The high school band will play
patriotic selections nnd the audience
is expected to join in by singing.
Uood speakers have been arrang
ed for. The purpose of the gather
ing is to enlist young men enough in
the Seventh Company to bring that
organization up to 150 members. All
young men between the ages of 18
and 3o nre especially requested to
