Arras front. The German lines were smashed from St. Quen-

"priso* element, the British guns on the West Flanders
had Len thundering at the German lines for three days
as though in preparation for an attack there. Advices from
«he front state that the Germans lost heavily in killed and
wounded in addition to the prisoners. '
After recovering from their surprise the Germans opened
counter offensives in an effort to prevent the British consoli
dating their vain* M^“vv fighting is now fn progress.
The British advance was over a 30-mile fronL
Several powerful German defensive works were cap-
hired by storm, including Harvincourt, Bonaires Wood and
La taue Wood.
The British losses were small compared to that of the
C ermans.
London, Nov. 22.—The British troops are pouring through
the gap smashed in the Hindenburg line and the advance con
tinues, the War Office announces today.
The village of Fontaine Notre Dame was captured in ad
dition to those announced yesterday, and the British have ap
proached to within a’ short distance of Cambria. Many ad
ditional prisoners were taken.
The cavalry and infantry are cleaning up the captured
trenches while the tanks lead in a fresh advance.
The German losses in killed wounded and prisoners are es
timated at fifty thousand so far. Whole divisions were shat
tered. The British losses are comparatively very small.
Ifondon, Nov. 22.—The heavy British guns are now shell
ing Cpmbria, the key position of the Hindenburg line. Fires
have been started in the city and the defensive works are being
I attered to uieces.
The British tanks played an important part in smashing
the Hindenburg line yesterday. The tanks led. passing over
Hie German outposts andthrough the barbed wire entangle-
tieots, their rapid-fire guns in constant action. Through the
gaps cut by the tanks the British infantry swept, carrying
everything before it. a

I now have Cambral within range and the fall of this railroad
£ tenter and valuable i strategic point seems probable.
At the same time, the French are attacking further'South
f striking as before at Laon. If their movement is also success
ful, there appears nothing for the Germans to do but to fall
back to another line, and this retreat is expected. In fact, it
has been an eyident necessity for sometime and the Italian
drive is thought to have been planned in part to prepare the
German public for the Western withdrawal.
The British attack appears to have been a complete pur-
prise and to leave the Germans demoralized.
The Italians are holding the Teutonic albed invaders
along the Piave river and fn the hilly region from the upper
leaches of that stream to Lake Garda. Nowhere .has the
enemy been able to gain additional ground. On the contrary
violent attacks in the hill country have been' repulsed with
heavy casualties. On the coastal front Italian and British war
ships are bombarding enemy positions.
, Still further progress has been macle by the British in
Palestine, the line of Gen. Allenby having been driven to points
five miles northwest and six miles west of Jerusalem. The for
mer position wns taken at the po int of the bayonet.
An indication that the Germans fortified line had been

Purpose of Congressman Park i»

Thoaa in Pig Club#.
For the purpose of encouraging the
development of sheep-raising. Cong
ressman Frank Park has offered
through Mr. G. V. Cunningham. As-
Aistant State Agent in charge of corn
and pig club work, a pure-bred, high
grade sheep as a prize to the btpr or
girl showing the best specimen of
South Georgia sheep, raised ini the
Second congressional district.
The prize will be awarded some
thing on the same order that the
prizes are now awarded in the pig
clubs, and plans will be worked out.
by Mr. Cunningham and announced
later. Judge Park will allow the
to select the breed ofjdieepl
desired.
Sheep-raising was at one time the
principal industry of this section. ,
Of recent years, with the passing of
e. the sheep have almost
disappeared, only a few scattered
droves remaining. New conditions
make it necessary that-the range]
sheep be replaced with those of high- 1
er grade which will yield larger re
turns, thus warranting the extr*
care and attention necessary. In
proper hands, there is no reason
why aheep-rnising should not once
:ome one of the principal
profitable industries in this
section.

that some men use for putting
off the purchase of insurance.
The question is, can your family
afford to be without it, and you
liable to leave them any time?
Maybe you have been saying that
e cost of living is too high, and
at as soon as things loosen up,
you wilt do your duty toward the
folks-. Had you thought that this
same cost of living will be still high
er for the widow and orphans?
Probably you already have some
Insurance, but the increased Coat of
Living has made it insufficient.
You should have 50 pet cent mere
insurance today to keep the family
in the same comfort that your pres
ent protection would have kept them
three year* ago. ,
