THE TIFTON GAZETTE, TIFTON, GA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 1>1T. . VOLUME XXIX-—NUMBE , THE LATEST NEWS BY WIRE London, Nov. 21.—A great British victory waa won on the Arras front. The German lines were smashed from St. Quen- **" *° fk® Scarpe river and several thousand prisoners, many * UIU ,n ^ immense quantities of stores taken, is announced by Ihe War Office. The British advanced to a depth of five miles at many Haig adopted new tactics and by plunging forward at sterday morning with out any artillery preparation Germans completely by surprise. In furtherance of "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 Today's cables indicate that the British are pressings ♦heir advantage, the tanks still leading. Their heavy gunsJ 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 * 'jrassefl by the British at some points Is the entry of the cavalry tntothe fray. Not since the famous retreat ofthe Germans along the Anhre and the Somme in the spring trf the present . year have the-hpraemen.been epgaged. At that time they per formed valiant serrice In harassing the retreating columns and bi rounding up prisoners. . Band WiH I* Here'in New Uniform. Wallace 1 .

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. ISjorit/ of Local Daall Bains ! a .
