THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS. McCONNELLSBURO, PA. FIGHTING HARD BRITISH WITHDRAW To Stronger Positions and Wear Out Enemy. GERMAN LOSSES HEAVY Peronne And Ham Have Fallen, Ac cording To The Berlin Report, And Germane Cairo To Have Defeated The Britich Third And Fourth Armiee And To Have 30,000 Prison er And 600 Gunt. The withdrawal of the British forces long the batthlront in France was long ago fanned In the event of the Germans attacking In great force. This announcement comes from the British front and is described as a niaaterly withdrawal, made possible iiy gallant shock troops In the front lines, who checked the advance of the Germans, while artillery, machine gun and rifle Are worked appalling Uughter among the mas of Ger man infantry as they were sent for ward, thus enabling the main body Of the British to fall back deliberately and without confusion. Thla army, It Is declared, has been conserved, and up to the present very few counter-attacks have been made against the Germans. Where the Brit lab have stormed the Germans' newly acquired position they have driven them back. But each mile of advance makes the bringing up of supplies to the Ger man artillery and infantry more and more difficult, and unquestionably the British strategy, as demonstrated alnce the beginning of the great at tack, is to let the enemy, so far as he may, wear himself out againts a pow erful defense. Both British and French forces, where their lines meet, south of St. Quentln, are watching events with op timistic eyes. The town of Chauny, southwest of St Quentln, situated on the road to Oomplegne, the gateway to Paris, has teen occupied by the Germans, and according to the Berlin official commu nications everywhere between the Somrae and the Oise River the Ger mans are pressing their advantage. In addition to Chnuny, the Germans are claiming the capture of both Peronne and Ham and to have In creased the number of prisoners taken to more than 30,000, In addition to 600 grins and large stores of war ma terials. MONSTER GUN IS LOCATED In Forest Of St. Gobain, West Of Laon, 76 Miles From Parle City Hall. parl!,The German "monster can non," which has been bombarding Paris, has been located In the Forest of St. Gobain, west of Laon and ex actly 122 kilometres (about 76 miles) from the Paris City Hall. The gun bombi ided Paris during the greater part of Sunday. The day was UBhered In by loud explosions from the 10-Inch shells, and Immediately the alarm to take cover was sounded. This occurred at 6.55 o'clock and many persons sought shelter, but greater numbers of them appeared In the streets on their way to the churches, which were almost as well filled as usual. The women who sell palm leaves on Pnlm Sundays did their usual thriving business. At first the shells began arriving at Intervals of twenty minute, and the detona tions, considering the Sunday calm, seemed louder than those of Saturday. Their power to disturb the equanim ity of the populace, however, seemed less, the people refusing to be dis tracted from their Sunday habits to any great extent. 200 AMERICANS IN HUN PRISONS.

HE ENTERS A LISTENING POST On Frontier Of Freedom," He Says, Gazing Out Over No Man's Land Calls On Archie Roose velt In Hospital. American Army in France. Secre tary Baker had his baptism of Ore in the front-line trenches, and while he was returning a German shell burst within less tluin 50 yards of his mo tor car. He was not injured. The Seeertnry went Into the trenches In a sector, the location of which must not be revealed, where American trooi face the enemy nearby. For half an hour he plodded over the duck boards. The Germans maintained an active fire with heavy pie"eg and ma chine guns. Nevertheless Mr. Raker made his way to an advanced sap. entered a listening post and talked for several minutes with the soldier on duty there. Rut the narrowest shave was on his return to headquarters. The German shell of 105 millimetres roared down and burst cleanly less than 50 yards from the uutoi.ic.bile containing the Secretary of War and the escorting ollicers. The shell hit a roadside dug out, digging a big crater. Mr. Tinker wished lo stop and ascertain whether there were men In the dugout, but the chauffeur, realizing the danger, opened the throttle and made his best speed until the danger zone was passed. It was the Secretary's hardest nnd most exciting day in France. On Mon day evening, accompanied only by a general commanding a division and one other officer, he motored to a point accessible to the sector selected for his inspection. He dined and slept in the chateau of FrencB frlenos or the officers. Retiring early, the Sec retary arose at 4 o'clock In the dark of an overcast, chill March day. Tak ing breakfast quickly, he drove through the misty dawn to his destina tion. As the lines were approached the steady reverberation of guns signaled great activity of the, artillery. This was confirmed when, on arrival, It was found that the road selected for approach to the trenches was under brisk shellftre. Indeed, the firing was so active as to cause the. General con siderable apprehension for the safety of his distinguished guest. He en deavored to dissuade Mr. Raker from going on with the expedition, explain ing the danger. But the Secretary over-rode his protest. Accordingly another route was reluctantly se lected. The party re-entered the motor and was driven to the selected point as far forward as motoring was snfe. With the General and the other ofllcer Mr. Baker walked over the shell-crat-ered region to a communication trench. He wore civilian clothes, cov ered with a trench coat, khnkl breeches and boots borrowed from n. colonel of about his size. He also put on a shrapnel helmet. The Secretary was first put through the regular gas mask drill. He carried his mask slung at the prescribed posi tion when he went in. A sentry halted the party as It was entering the trench and demanded a pass. "Divisional Commander and Secre tary of War," replied the General. Troops from Ohio were among those In the trench. Several of the men were known personally to Mr. Baker and he talked freely with them about their homes and families. One man said he was from- Iowa, another from Chicago. The Secretary kept up run ning comment upon the strangeness of the circumstances under which men from all over America were fighting In distant France. "Once he remarked: "I hnve been from farm to factory r.t home, and now I am in the front line." "Finally, notwithstanding the pro tests of the odleer, Mr. Baker made his way through the sap to the listen ing pf.st. Peeping over tho parapet into No Man's Land, he said: "Now I am on the, frontier of free dom." The Secretary asked the llstonlng' post sentry If he saw Germans often. "Not very often, sir," was the re sponse. Then he asked whether the Americans' shooting was bette rthan that of the enemy and seemed greatly pleased nt the emphatic reply "Yes It Is." . WHEAT BILL PASSES SENATE. Measure Now Gpes To Conference Be tween Both Houses. Washington. The Agricultural Ap' P'oprlation Hill, with the (lore amend ment. Increasing the 191S government guaranteed wheat price to $2.50 was passed by tho .Senate. It now goes to conference between the two houses where there will be another fight over the wheat price.

ENGLAND HUNTING OIL. London. Active tests to discover oil will be made soon In England with tho government's approval, according lo the morning newspapers.

Temperance 7 NUIO (Conducted by the National Woman's utiriKiian rompernnrn uhhmi.; BEER AND THE WAR. Suve, suve, save I These are worda thut we fuce at every turn, says Corn Stoddard In the Union Signal. Money for Liberty loans; food for the allies and the wur-tosi,ed peoples; and for the boys nml youths who are to fight tho buttle for democracy. Suve I Through nil the grave or sometimes guy aspects ot this tnuny-slded thrift nileavor there recurs a Jarring ele ment Questions arise which will not be silenced. What of the money, the food, the miin-powcr Involved In the production nnd use of beer? We know from government statistics thot the amount of foodstuffs used In tun king beer wus greuter In 1017 than In 1010 or 1015. We knew tho world's food supply was low yet we allowed the brewers to use more foodfstuffs Inst year than In cither of tho two pre ceding years. A 30 per cent reduction In the grain used In brewing has been ordered for 1018, but this still leuves an amount of food material to go into the brewery vats, appulllog under tho circumstan ces. Tuke the single Item of barley. Tho barley used by Amerlcun breweries lust year, If made Into flour or sent Into France for bread, would have been equal to the normal bread ration of 8, 000,000 people for a year. This we learn from no less an authority than new book on food written by Ver non Kellogg nnd Dr. Alonzo B. Taylor of the United States food administra tion, which gives tho bread values for 50,000,000 bushels of barley brend enough for our army many times over, or more than enough for all Belgium or the smitten people of the French war zone. WORSE THAN WASTED. The liquor men are watting food. Lnst yenr tho waste amounted to 7,000,0(10,000 pounds of foodstuffs. They are wasting labor. About 300,000 men are cnguged In the man ufacture, sale and distribution of booze In breweries, snloons and res taurants, as brewers, bnrtenders and waiters at a time when every man Is needed In some useful occupation to help win the war. They are watting life. Bnrtenders, brewery workers nnd waiters In saloons lose an average of six years of life on account of their occupa tions. If the 300,000 men who make and sell booze lose an average of six yenrs of life, It mukes a totul of 1,800,- 000 years of life. The average man works about 30 years so that the liquor traffic is using up the equiva lent of 00,000 men In each generation. And this Is too great a price for tho nation to pay. For these reasons (1) the waste of food, (2) the waste of labor, (3) tho waste of life we have a right to de mand that the liquor business be abol ished. From Publicity Material Sent Out by the Federal Council ot Churches In Its "Strengthen Amerlcu" Campaign. RATIFICATION PLAN CONSIST ENT WITH AMERICAN DEMOC RACY. "Prohibition In the organic law will forever destroy the keystone In the arch of true democracy," Is the charge by the opponents of the federal amendment. They deplore the fact that a big. populous state like New York should count for no more than n small, sparsely settled state like Nevada In the matter of ratification of tho amendment. They go even fur ther and Insist that such a method of procedure is undemocratic and un- Amerlcnn. It Is certainly too late in the history of the nation to make such a claim. As has been loglcully suld, this method of amending the Constitution not only Is not opposed to tho American system, It Is luherent In that system. If the principle In volved In this method Is wrong, If It Is against public policy, the way to rem edy It Is to amend article 5, which provides this method of changing tho fundamental law, rather than to denounce the provisions of the article ns Inconsistent with American insti tutions. FOE MOST TO BE FEARED. "Tho fou that I fear most," said Ar thur Men, author of "Defeat or Vic tory." nt a recent meeting In Queen's hall, London, "Is the man who Is de stroying the food I shull want for lit tle Mnrjorle Mee when famine conies." And an outraged audience cheered to tho echo Mr. Mce's Indictment of "u trade which from the first day of the war till now, lias never st rhlned n nerve to help this land; has hindered It, hampered It, kept back ships and guns, caused the loss of thousands of our soldier's lives, and has all the time been the greatest pro-German force outside the German urmy." SHOULD WE? In the face of the terrific struggle for human freedom should we spend approximately a billion dollurs n year for beer when this money Is needed for Liberty louns. the Red Cross and those thousand nnd one beneficent agencies essential to all humanity In this crisis? Should we give tho brew er foodstuffs t'liit n hungry world could use, or coul needed for heat, light' nnd power, or transportation needed for men, food, fuel and muni tions. A LONESOME PAIR. "My goodness, but this Is wonder ful," ruminated Justice John of the Lincoln (Vn.) police court on Monday morning, December 31, ns he eyed the two lone drunks before him, the entire result of the police vigilance for Satur day and Sunday. "And this during the holidays," he continued. "Never in my long career on the bench bus such a thing occurred before." Alcohol leads to Nowhere Land.

Easter at Cradle of Christianity H WITH the celebration of Bust T this year It is of Interest to trace that observance to Its source and note the inun ner in which It is commemorated In Jerusulem. Particularly Is this survey of Interest ut the present time as the attention of the reading public has been drawn to the capture of the Holy City and its occupation by the Brit ish. For many centuries the season of Lent has been n very Important period of the year In the Holy Land, and es pecially In the city of Jerusalem. At this time the city Is filled, often to overflowing, with pilgrims Jews, Christians and Moslems from all countries of the world to worship at Its sacred shrines. The Holy City Is essentially and strictly religious every dny In the year, but particularly during Lent. To de clare oneself to be without any re ligious creed In Jerusnlem Is to Invite and gala distrust and thinly veiled con tempt, and an Intangible ostracism from all classes and creeds of the citi zens. The Jewish pilgrims nre the least In numbers. Their chief point of sacred Interest Is thnt portion of the ancient wall of the fortifications of their form er temple on Mount Morlah, commonly known as the "Wall of Wslllng." or "Jewish Walling Place." The Mount of Olives, the Tombs of the Prophets, and other minor landmarks of bygone ages when they owned the land are objects of veneration. Added to these ' Is the rare opportunity of celebrating i the Passover among their Hebrew brethren in Jerusalem. Moslems From All the World. In normal times, when the world Is not rent by war, the Moslem pilgrim come from every country of eurth, as well as from the surrounding towns and villages of Palestine and Syria. They come to worship In companies In the same manner of making a pil grim journey ns was dW thousands of yenrs ago, with tho music of lutes, tabrets and cymbals, of harps nnd drums, chanting sacred Invocations nnd carrying enormous flags on which are Inscribed or broldered the attrib utes of and praise to God. Thus they Journey to mid walk Into the Holy City. "Samuel said unto Saul: 'Af ter that thou sluilt come to the hill of God It shall come to pass when thou arc come thither to the city, that thou shnlt meet a company of prophets (re ligious orators) coming down from the high place (sacred shrines) with a psaltery and a tnbret and a flute and a harp before them nnd they shall prophesy.'" (I Sam. 10, 5.) The ecclesiastical year of Islam, con sisting of twelve lunar months, causes all the other feasts and fusts to rotate around the solar year. But this an nual pilgrimage to Jerusalem during Lent, to tin? Mosque of the Holy Hock on Mount Moriah nnd to the tomb of Moses, the great lawgiver, on the west bank of the river Jordan, Is an excep tion. It Is always arranged to take place during the Lenten season of the orthodox Greek church. The reason Child and Flowers Symbols of Purity given for tho exception of this pil grimage from the lunar calendar Is that the change was Instituted after the final expulsion of the Crusaders from the Holy Land ns a precaution against any renewed attempts of the Christians to wrest Jerusalem from the Moslems. Rival Pilgrims Meet From Chlstmastlde until Easter pil grims from Greece, Itusslo, the Donu Man provinces, France, Italy, Spain and all other orthodox Greek and Cath olic communities used to come by tens of thousands, all armed, and full of religious real and enthusiasm, to wor ship nt the Tomb of the Savior, tho Culvory, and all other sacred shrines connected with the history of his life and teachings. Consequently the Mos lem pilgrimage ut the same season was not an unnecessary preparedness. Religious services were almost con tinuous day and night through Lent, all mosques and Christian churches be ing open to the worshipers. The fast of Lent Is rigidly observed by the Greek, Itusslun, Armenian, Syrlnc and Coptic sects. Their diet Is lfinltcd to bread, vegetables, fruit and vegetable nils, and on special days, only a little fish Is allowed. The Cuthollc commu nity abstains from animal flesh diet, but not from eggs, butter nnd milk. This season Is also Important In a commercial sense. The manufacture of all kinds of relics and souvenirs occupies many of the citizens of Jeru snlem nnd Bethlehem during the rest of the yenr. These ore bought by the pilgrims In great quantities, not only for themselves, but also for those at home who could not make the pllgrim uge. These devotees, who, as a rule, live In the Holy Land from Christmas to Easter, visiting all its sacred shrines nnd hallowed cities, bring much money Into the country, also merchandise for sale, 'hence the failure of the pilgrim visitors since the beginning of the de vastating European war has caused unmitigated suffering In Palestine. Early In the morning of Palm Sun day the patriarchs of the above men tioned Christian sects give personally n genuine date-palm branch to any per son who will come forward to tho offi ciating hlerarch and accept It. This beautiful ceremony takes place In the Cathedral of the Holy Sepuleher In celebration of the triumphal entry of the Savior Into Jerusalem. An Easter Hope. I feel In myself the future life.
