Elsner's ?eposition will in no

events in Germany.
The Germans are in rebellion and
defiant, but they are practically
helpless through the decree or
Foch's armistice, which restrains
them from making war on the
Poles. Germany is blundering as,
I usual, but is compelled to submit;
or be overpowered with the troops

t had driven the Germans back near
ly six miles after six days and
s nights of almost incessant fighting
t over the most strongly fortified
sections of the western front.
"Fresh from France, the general
f still was suffering from the effects
Iof gas, his two experiences in the
d Argonne being his fifth in the war,
and he frequently had to interrupt
, his recital .to drink water. When
his voice refused to give emphasis
e to his words, he pounded the table
sbeside him to further drive home
it his praise of the soldiers it was his
'`honor to command.'
-nonor to comiuauu. ai
"'For six days and nights,' said
the general, 'we fought the best the
Boche had. We penetrated the lines 4
for five and a half miles, took 1,000
prisoners and captured 24 pieces of
field artillery and 45 machine P
guns. We fought in the open and G
we lost 500 killed and 4,500 woun- 13
ded, the great majority of the lat- tl
ter being hurt but slightly. Never a
was there a finer body of men than e
those I had the honor to command. a
They were a wonderful lot, who m
only asked to know what was want- 5
led, and they did it and did it well." P
"General Traub told the commit- a
tee that the first task of his men ti
jof a hill, which had everything in 1
after 'jumping off' was the charge
the way of defense which the Ger- l
mans could build and one that 'the ii
I French had been up against for c
four years.' The Thirty-fifth, the r
general said, took this strongly for- I
rtified position in three hours after v
vicious hand-to-hand fighting. c
"The wounded received the best a
care and the first consideration I
General Traub told the committee. C
He said the 7,000 wounded passing r
through the field station of the
Thirty-fifth division were hurried
to the rear' by pressing into service
11 every truck of every description.
but because of the 'devilish fire' of
the Germans they could be moved"
only at night. One main road serv- I
ed the whole army corps, and at I
one time it required 48 hours to!
t build a road around a crater caus
1ed by a German shell, and ten days
`to bridge it.
j "Airplanes appeared on call, and
t flew over the German lines, the
t general said. A shortage of horses
e was admitted, but the officer de
` clared there was always artillery
s support. Only a half dozen shells
3 from the American artillery fell in
f its lines, but in this connection the
e 'general asked to be permitted to
" refrain from comment on French
artillery with the division." l

4 PROTEST TO THE GOVERNOR.
Some kind of a colored people's
protective association has wired
Governor Pleasant to protest at the
lynching in this parish last Friday.
the protest comes from New York,
and, of course, has. the backing of
everybody who knows nothing
about it. When the pressure from
without ceases to irritate the race
situation in the south, the southern
people will feel safe in differing
with each other as how best to
treat such problems.-Bossier Ban
ner.
The protest addressed to Gover
nor Pleasant was given full public
ity in the Shreveport Times without
comment. Governor Pleasant has
remained silent, presuming that the
wisest policy dictated its treatment
with contempt. The protest was,
crouched in words mnore or less
arrogant. There was eot a sylla
ble expressive of cegret over the
diabolicat crimes, the deliberate,
murder of an aged couple when1
sleep, but there was -an insolent
presumption that eovere4 a threat
of retaliation.
Suchl protests antd indtictiverses
are productive of irritation ant can
serve no good purpose. Insteati of
uphraiding the governor this so..
