BRITISH SEIZE FRENCH SMASH ...
MINERAL AREA HINDE BU G LINE
Valuable Prize Taken Prom Ger-
nnany by British Expedition.
A despatch from London says:
:Seizure by a British expedition of Ger-
man mining property and other de-
velopment plants in Spitzbergen, in-
cluding a big wireless installation, is
reported by the Express, with the in-
timation that the work of developing
immensely rich iron and coal deposits
is proceeding. It is said they will
be of the greatest importance to Great
Britain and the allies. The expedition
to Spitsbergen called a few months ago
under the protection of the British
navy. Sir Ernest Shackleton, the l
famous Antarctic explorer;• was the
commander, but he was Subsequently
obliged to leave to take up other
duties..
ISie successor, F. W. S. Jones, Who
f returned to London, has given an en-
tiresi elle description of the vast min -
evil wealth which has hitherto been
merely tapped to a limited extent by
British, German, Swedish and Nor-
'weglan companies.
The expedition, Mr. Jones said,
took a large number of miners, an
enormous quantity of mining material,
and supplies sufficient for three years,
and work is now going on on a large
scale. Capt. Wild, who was with
Shackleton in the Antarctic, is in
charge of operations. Mr. Jones says
the expedition met with considerable
difficulties and danger, including en-
counters with eight German submar-
ines,
Spitzbergen is an archipelago in the
Arctic Ocean, discovered In 1593 by
Sir . Hugh Willoughby, who called''it
Greenland, supposing it to be a part
of the western continent. In 1591 it
was visited by Barents and Cornelius,'

the many sharp pointed and rocky i

Cross ('rovat Canal After Occu-
pying St. Quentin.
A despatch from the French army
in France says: Gen. Debeney's
troops in the region of St. Quentin
on Wednesday began to smash
through the lines of the Hindenburg
position over the entire front of that
army.
Those lines were lay miles deep in
some plmmcee and were supported by
several strongly organized woods.
They were defended by machine gun
sections which proved unable to check
Gen. Debeney's advance.
A breach Horde in the Hindenburg
line east of Le Tronquoy was widened
to the outskirts of Lesdins. Further
north the French troops in conjunc-
tion with British forces took several
small pieces of timber land in the
face of vigorous resistance.
The west bank of the Crozet Canal
north-east of St. Quentin is now in
French hands as for as Lesdins. Gert.
Debeeee's men have occupied ()missy.
A footing also hes been gained on the
east bank 'of the canal at Morcourt,
the western part of the town being
in French hands.
With St. -Quentin and the suburb of
Isle in his hands, Gen. Dobeney has
made further gains to the south, ob-
taining a foothold in the enemy's
trenches west of Neuvilie St. Amend
and Itoncourt. Several lines of trench -
an were conquered in that region by
the French after a violent struggle.
