The past week has been one of the most Outstanding since the commence- ment of the war. The German retreat comtneneed last week is as nothing to that of this. Forced out of their long held positions on the 'Western front; they have been retiring in pre- cipitate haste ever since Saturday, with the Allies at their heels. The Al- lies are occupying the cities at Peronne, Baupaume, Chaulnes and Nesle, without even having to tght for them, and in addition are vow in possession of some hundred or more villages. Events have been moving so fast that it is halal to grasp the situation. Cities and positiOns which the Germans have been fortify-, ing for over two years, and which they claimed Were impregnable, have been abandoned, and what the Allies thought could only be gained at great sacrifices, an& with the utmost pat- ience and long drawn out fighting, are now in their hands' almost without a casuality. In all some 1,100 square miles which have been under the Ger- man heel since 1914 are now in the hands of the Allies. Gains that took the British two years to accomplish have been multiplied by ten in two days, and the end is not yet The Ger- mans are calling it a strategical re- treat to shorten their lines, and per- haps it may be so. It must be remem- bered, hewever, that this is the first time Germany has ever straightened her line by a retreat; hitherto it has always been advance that has accom- plished this end. Where the enemy intends to make a stand as yet is on- ly conjecture. That they have prepar- ed position after position behind them is well known, but which one they have decided on of course is known only to themselves, and even they may not now be any too sure o any of them. There is no denying' that their retreat has been well planned and well carried out. The wonder is that the Allies were able to follow up so fast over the ground that the Gerznans left behind, pitted, scarred, and blackened as it now is. Cities like Peronne, which the British and French could have levelled weeks ago by ;shell fire, but which they spared, have not been. spared. by the enemy. In fact they spared nothing. Public buildings were set on fire or blown up, and the same treatment was meted out to private residences and streets; villages were razed and the inhabitants carried off, and where ever they had time systematic looting was practised, and where the Ailies' advance was too fast to accomplis this everything to dishes and furrt iture in the houses was wantonly d4:- stroyed, even the soil being- clarrag- ed as far as lay in their power, until nothing now remains of this garden of France but a black desolate waste. There is one great consolation, how- ever, and it is this. It is now well known that the cause of the German retreat was the severe pressure placed on them by the Allies, and no mat- ter what positions they retire to arid how well they are prepared, this pressure ca -n and will 1,e ltraught to bear. Their former positions on the Western front were as strong as hu- man ingenuity could make them; their new positions Cannot be any better, and where the Allied pressure won out before it most assuredly will again. In Mesopotamia, too, the British are rapidly following up their victory. Since the capture of Bagdad the Turk- ish power seems to have crumbled. The Russians, too, on this front, are showing renewed activity. In fact since the Russian Revolution the new Government seems to have instilled fresh vigor into the army,. and if this new promise of Russia is fulfilled, it should not be long before the end of the day of the Central powers. is at hand. Germany has at last committed what the United States seems to be willing to accept as an overt act, This is the sinking without warning of three American vessels, the Vigilancia, the City of Memphis, and. the Illinois, ,41 1TOR by German submarines, with a losi of some thirty American li;Siest aridt there is every evidence that thei Unlit; ed Statei will be �ii the side of the Anima in reality before the end of the ;week. . - itieeiteeteittati KfPPEN.

His visit waa a hasty one, but his friends were more than pleased to -see him again. Mr. Osborne went to Alberta five years ago and has been very success- ful and like others when things are coming their way he likes the cowl - try. -The maple syrup season is near at hand and some have already com- menced operations but as yet the weather has not been very firtiorable -Mr. William Anderson who has not been enjoying good health for some tine, purposes in the near future tak- ing a trip to Alberta, where he will spend the summer. His many friends here hope that a few months in the west will have the desired result, and that he will return completely re- stored. -The patriotic euchre held in the hall on Friday evening last was a decided success, the proceeds, a- mounting to about $50, which will go to swell the patriotic fund. --We have heard -that Mi. Sam. Cudmore, of Seaforth, intends tmoving on to his farm on the London Road near here, this spring and will take a hand at farming. Mr. Cudmore is one of the biggest hay dealers of Huron and what he turns his hand to generally comes his way. HENSALL. Grand Spring Millinery Opening on Friday and Saturday, March 30th and ast at E.

Johnston, Secy From Roy Neilands.-The followin s a letter received by M7. James Carlin, of this village, front Roy Neil ands, eldest son of Mr. Thomas Neil ands, editor of the Hensall Observe in past years and to which we mad reference last week: Witty Ca February llth, 1917. Dear Jim, -R ceived your very welcome' letter las night and I sure was glad to get som news from Hensall. I received ..let ter from Bob Cameron about a mord ago and that is all the letters I hav had from Hensel' since we left. W have moved twice since I wrote yo last at Shornecliffet We first move to Sandling Camp and about tw weeks ago we ,moved to this camp which is the best camp we have struck since we came. to ,England. All th troops in this camp belong to the new fifth division which is to take part in the big offensive which the Allies are to make in a short time. I sup pose , you have heard that the 161st is to go to the front as a unit. We certainly feel proud of the fact and we only wish we had the fellows with us who were drafted over to France We had a draft of 150 men come in this week and we expect to be up to strength in a week's time. You ask in your last letter how things look here in regards to peace. Well Jim, I think we will be home by next Chrit- mas, that is, some of us. Germany has shot her last bolt, but there will be a terrible slaughter Mae few weeks time, when the big drive starts and I think we will give Fritz his quietus. Prices certainly are soaring in Hen - sail. Eggs are worth about ten cents each in this country and butter is un- heard of. They have a subst tute called margerine but it is not as good as the dairy butter by a long shot. We are all in the best of health and arc training hard as we don't know just how soon we may be moved over to Prance. I have seen Bob. Chesney, and "Pretty Polly" several times. They are close to us and often come over in the evenings. The "parrot" looks fine and is as fat as a seal. He is try- ing to transfer over to the 161st. Earn. Steacy is in this camp and we have seen him several times. The battalion he is with weot to France this morning at three o'clock. •(le is n the band, so he may not have to go to the firing line. Well Jinnity. I hink I have told you all the news. will write again soon and for the Love of Mike write often and tell ome of the people to write. • If they knew how much the fellows look for- ward to getting mail front Canada, hey would write more. It gives the oys more genuine pleasure to hear rom their friends, than anything else. ive my best wishes to your mother, ollie and Frank and the boys and be ure and write soon. Yours sincerely. orporal R. M. Neilands, No. d'54463, 61st Battalion, C.E.F., Army P. 0, ondon, England.

There were no important changes in the condition of the market for cattle.

The demand for good to' choice milch cows is good, but supplies were small and prices were stronger at $100 to $125 each, .while on the other hand the market was welt -supplied with common to medium stock which met with e slow sale.

Toronto, March 20th. -The best quality cattle were steady to 15c to 20e higher than at the close of last week on yesterday'S market at the .Union Stock Yards while other grades were steady.

The quoted figures were $ t 4,90, fed; 15.15 weighed off cars and $14.15 f.o.b., at country points. It is understood that a eouple of sales were made at last week's prices but generally the pack- ers held firm at the decline of 50c per hundred pounds. The run of hogs was light, with 719 on the market. Buying was • on a liberal scale last week, with over 16,000 on the market. Lighter receipts this week should ex- ercise a strengthening effect. • • BEAN MARKET • • Toronto, March 20. -Beans -Japan- ese, hand-picked, bushel, $6.25; prime, $5.75; Canadian, hand-picked, $7.25; prime, $6.75. 41-34•W*8.111111*.st*LAA0g**Los, DAIRY MARKET.

L.T. DeLacey, A. D. Sutherland, Auditors. The Ford is Economical The average man can easily afford a Ford car. It is the most inexpensive car to drive. :Twenty to 25 tniles on a gallon of gasoline is an every -day occurrence. Thirty-three miles is frequently re- ported by Ford owners. Yearly repair expenses of less than one dollar are not un,sual. The car is light In weight, and tires give more mileage on a Ford than on any other car. You can buy a Ford for youtself and one for your wife for the price of one car al .ttio00 You ,can run both Fords at about the Fame expense as for one lar- ger, heavier car. Have a a r:de in the 1917 model See how comfor- table it is. And stylish, too -stream line effect. tapered hood, crown fenders, beautiful finish. - iu J. F. DALY Dealer Seaforth ll R. C.
