Will Reappraise School
Lajids in 47 Counties
(From a Staft Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., May 6. (Special.)
Rcappraisement of -school lands in
forty-seven Nebraska counties will be
made this summer, according to no
tices sent out by Land Commissioner
Shumway. Most of it has not been
appraised since 1904 and it is expected
that a rcappraisement will add con
siderably to the school funds.
Cherry county has the greatest
acreage, 236,391 acres, while Sheridan
county comes next with 92,134 acres.
The smallest acreage is in Hamilton
county, more than seven and one-half
acres of Burlington railroad right of
way. There is still 181 acres left in
Douglas county subject to teappraise-.
ment.

May 7.) Via London) While the
lighting for the last fortnight has
wrought comparatively little change
geographically along the British front,
it has, as a matter of fact, been of al
most as great importance as any dur
ing the entire war.
It has compelled the Germans to
throw in such vast mimbcrs of re
serves that comparatively few of the
fifty of more fresh divisions assigned,
to the western front this year by Field
Marshal von Hindenbtirg, remain un
scorclied by the flames of the French
and British. offensive battles.
In view of this it is small wonder
that the press reports from I'ctrocrail
assert that German divisions have
been withdrawn from the Russian
front and started for Frajice.
There is r.o denying that since the
British Easier offensive look them bv
surprise and drove them from their
formidable positions, the Germans
have fought with great tenacity and
stubbornness, but at what cost they
alone can ;orrectly reckon.
How Long Can They Endure?
They have endeavored to meet the
entente allies' superiority in artillery
by sheer weight of men, which has
meant a material deepening of their
fortified zones. Thus when one line of
men have been swept away there is
another, and yet another.
How lonir such tactics can continue,
how long the German soldiers can en
dure the withering blast of artillery
which is ever upon them, is purely a
matter of conjecture.
German military writers have been
referring of late to the Ilndenburg
line as a livine. mobile wall, which
can bend backward and forward as if
moving on so many hinges. Now,
however, the men of the living wall
are fighting behind great barriers of
tneir aeau.
The Germans, in fact, seem to be
carrying out tileir defensive battles
with the same unshakable belief in the
power of mass that characterized their
first onslaughts upon forts on the Bel
gian frontier and later their futile of
fensive at inst Verdun.
Germans Outnumber the British.
The British assaulting lines in the
recent fighting, thanks to the over
whelming weight of, the artillery be
hind them, h v. been in nothing like
the strength of the German defend
ing troops.
Similarly the Germans have deliv
ered their counter attacks with forces
often outnumbering threefold the
'. ritish holding the positions upon
which the attacks were directed.
The Germans had to make these
counter attack across t e open, i
dcr the very eyes of the British field
guns and the lossi; entailed have
been visibly enormous.
It is not possible to visit a battery
in llu Arrasi section without hearing
of the wonderful shooting they have
had of late. There haj been nothing
like it since the war began, so far
as the British are ecu-"o' and the
kahki gunners feel that thev are oav
ing eff many old scores of the iarly
uays wnen tne uerman artillery aomr
i -.ted and there was not a single high,
calibcred British cannon on the coiv
tinent.
I he o-c;. oration of the airplanes
and artillery in smashing the counter
attacks have been uttle short ol mar
velous. Sheets of Leaden Shrapnel Rain.
c flying machines have quickly
discovered the assembling of troops
and have sent minute details by wire
less back to I e b:. .cr.es with the re
sult that the guns were i-nineo and
rt dy the moment the gray-clad
hordes issued from protecting trees
or a village, ':nply. smothering them
under hig'i c losives and sheets of
leaden shrapnel rain.
When it is recalled that, as at Gra
vcllc, the have been nearly a score
of unsuccessful counter attacks of this
character some idea of the German
losses can be '. ad. Since the dead
left behind tell the tale, great efforts
have been made lately by the Ger
mans to clear- the battlefields of their
dead wherever it is possible to do so.
More recently orders have been cap
tured on the subject together with
one urgent appeal from a company
commander that "at least two big
wagons be sent immediately to carry
away our dead."
It is one of the paradoxes of mod
ern fighting that fixed positions have
actually yielded more readily to di
rect attack and have been more eas
ily defended against counter attacks
than the seini-open warfare shelters
dug here and there in new ground.
Mown Down is Great Masses.
For instanc:, since Thursday last
the Germans have been throwing
great masses against the Australians
in an endeavor to retake a section of
the Hindenbtirg line east of Btille-
court captured May 3, representing
distinct salient, the Australians
have been attacked from three sides.
During the day the counter attack
ers have been killed by artillery and
at night have been driven off with
bombs and bayonets.
The bite into the Hindenburg line
by the Australians has meant the al
most complete obliteration of a sec
tion of this strong position, which
formerly ran from Arras to Queant.
The capture of Vimy ridge by the
Canadians on April 9 left the Arras-
Queant position "in the air" and the
turning ot the top of that line next
day beyond Neuville Vitasse led the
Germans to begin the immediate prep-

aration of the so-called Drucouri
Queant switch as the new northern
extension of the Hindenburg line.
The Australian success cast of Bul
Iccourt, being a threat against the im
portant Queant junction, the Germans
naturally are fighting with the utmost
determination to offset the latest ad
vance and again their losses have been
admittedly heavy.
In Touch With Hindenburg Line.
The British are in touch with the
Hindenburg line all the way from
Queant south to St. Quentin and are
steadily pressing the Germans to
ward the Drocourt switch in the
north. The Germans apparently are
determined not to retire until they
are forced to do so.
Thus it can be seen that the offen
sive, in which great losses are in
flicted, are often of more importance
than a gain of ground not strongly
defended.
Some of the more defiant German
prisoners profess joy that the rigid
immobile trench warfare is over in
one breath and then immediately as
sert that in the depth of their forti
fied zone is their dependence to hold
our against the allies. They nonchal
antly remark that the German higher
command no longer regards the loss
of ground as important, on the theory
that the possession of this or that
isolated terrain no longer plays a de
cisive role. "
Asked why, then, it is that the Ger
mans throw away so many lives in
fruitless counter attacks against so
called isolated positions wrested from
them, the prisoner-officers shrug their
shoulders and say that the counter at
tacks are intended only to inflict
losses upon the British without re
gard to whether they win back posi
tions rr not.
The idea that the operations al
ways go according 10 the plans of the
higher command has been thorough
ly inculcated into the German army.
Each loss of a village is lauded in
company and regimental orders as an
other move toward ultimate victory.
