I THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26, 1917. 'NMi PRESS FORWAHD AS THE EfffflES Germans Fall Back a Distance of Three Miles and Haigr's Men Sweep Into Vacated Positions. ROAD TO BAPAUME BELIEVED OPEN Teutons Move Many of Their Big Guns to Rear f. Before Beginning the BackwardMove. FROM A) STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, BRITISH HEADQUARTERS INFRANCE, Feb.

2o, via Loudon, Fob. 26, 12:55 a. m. On one portion of the British front at least the war today became a war of movement. Under corer of fog and mist, which have been particularly heavy in the forty-eigh- hours, the OermanB carried out the greatest retirement they have made on the western front in the last two years and the British have ewept into possession of Pys, Serre, Miraumontand Petit Miraumont, including thefamous Butte de Warlencourt, which has been the ceene of some ofthe fiercest lighting of the war and in places is deep with the bones of dead men.

The exact extent of the German retirement is not known tonight, but it is estimated thatit approaches a depth of three miles at some points. British patrols axe out in all directions, harassing the Germans and keeping in touch with their movements. Until they report it will not be possible to say just where the Germans have determined to fix their next line of resistance. It can bestated that the British now, are, or soon will be, in a position possibly to force the evacuation of Bapaume, which has been the key to the German position since the beginning of the battle of the Somme. The points which already have falleninto theBritish hands have stood out in the history of "the fighting on this front and have been A most stubbornlydefended.

fV Won by Hard Fighting. Only a week ago when the British on a two-mil- front east and southof Miraumont and Pys the German resistance was bitter and the high ground desired was won only after desperate hand-to-han- encounters andthe taking of more than 800 Germans prisoner. The British had been waiting for a clearing of the foggy weather before pressing the advance, but meantime it is apparent that the German high command decided to retire without any further fighting to stronger positions prepared well in the rear. Friday night fires were observed in the German front linetrenches. They were only dimly visible through the thick mist of the particularly black night, but it was dis- covered that the flamesissued from burning German dugouts.

Patrols sent forwaxd reported the evacuation of tbe German outposts. Similar reports came from north of the Am-re- and bynight- fallyesterday the British had established themselves in Petit Miraumont and advanced all along the line, meeting only with sniping resistance here and there. Today theBritish patrol pressed forward, keeping in close contact with the Germans, who bad retreated a further 2000 yards during the night. Thus the way was opened to the ground which for months had been contested. Bursts of Resistance.

There were bursts of stifF resistance from German obstructing parties which had been scattered in the rear of the retiring columns. Early today a big mine was exploded in the main street Miraumont before the British advance patrolsentered. Tt is evident now that the Germans, taking advantage of the last days of the recent heavy frost and hard ground, moved a great many of their guns well to the rear, leaving others forward to keep up a show of resistance. This they had been valiantly doing for the past three or four days, firing more rounds than any German guns in recent months. The reason for this is considered as probably a desire to shoot up stores of ammunition which there was not time to remove.

The foggy, misty weather was ideal for the beginning of the German retirement, as it completely hid the purpose of their movement from the prying eyes of the airplanes which otherwise would have daily searchedout the German positions. Germans made prisoner yesterday and today said they hadbeen leftbehind to walk about and fire their rifles and make as much noise as possible. They were delighted to be relieved from their thankless task.

D. Head Drilling' company of San Francisco and was calledto that city on legal matters for that company. He reports an unprecedented demand for oil at the present time by reason ofthe fact that of the reserve oil of the country has been entirely disposed of. Two years ago crude oil was selling at 30 cents per barrel and today the price has jumped to 73 cents, with early indication of a rise to $1. "Speculators," said Mr.

Powers, "have taken advantage of the market, andstock selling corporations have been organized in most of the western states. Some of these are legitimate, but many have not struck oil and never expect to. How-eve- the possessor of a good field is fortunate indeed, as nominal production is sufficient to guarantee a considerable Income. The W.D. Drilling company hasfourteen rigs working in the Midway field, Taft, Cal."

One of the important measures yet to come hefore the legislature Is Iioufo hill No. 171, by Chairman Greenwood of the house committee on education, providing for recognition of the extension work of the I'niversity of lTt a h. What university extension is and what the achievements nnd aims of Die extension division of the university n.re may be found In the recently published report of the president of the univetf-il- to the regents and the legislature.

Acrompanv-in- this report is the statement by the director of the extension division. Professor F. YV. Reynolds, a sunn nary of whichfollows: The purpose of the extension work Is to carry to thus who are not tible to attend the university instruction and assistance in all Hie tbincs which the university 1ms to offer to its students. Thisinstruction Is offered to the Individual hrouph correspondence andclass courses, to communities Hi rough surveys and advice in community problems.

For the Indi- vid unl instruction Is offered in the classical, scientific or commercial studies; forthe in organizing to belter public henlth. development of children, recreation and het ter government. This community work is to he accompanied by surveys of the communities, giving an exhaustive analysis of cond it ions, wi th suggestions for improvements where needed. This is of henellt not only to the community studied, but also in accumulating data valuable to all the citizens of the state a large. This year Fcventy-lhre- courses are under v.

ay, forty-fou- extension classes, twenty-nin- correspondence study courses. Thetotal enrollment of students in bothclasses of courses is something lessthan This work has so fnr been carried on by regular Instructors of the university, with some smallassistance from outside persons. Theoutside assistants are paid for their work; the regular Instructors do the work in addition to their regular courses, and without extra pay. This situation, the university authorities believe, should he remedied. The Instructors should be allowed to substitute the extension work for some oftheir regular work, or should be paid for the extia work.

In addition to the putting ofthe extensioninstruction upon a regular basis. Instead of allowing It to remain a side line, the report recommends hat the community welfare work be organized under bureaus, each of which shall have charge of a definite portion of the work, with a sufficient appropriation and a fixed responsibility forthe carrying out of certain duties. RECOUNTSINCIDENTS OFWYOMING TIE-U- Salt Lake Man, Just Back From Chicago, Tells Interesting Experiences. "Tn thirty years of work and travel In the west I have not before experienced suchconditions as confronted me on my return Hip from Chicago last week," said Oscar Kintigh ofthe Morrison-Merri- Lumber company last night. Mr.

Kintigh returnedlate Saturday night from a two weeks' trip to Chicago, where he visited hissisters and other immediate relatives. He left the Windy City Tuesday morning atid it was late Saturdaynight before he was able to reach home. He said that at Rawlins, six passenger trains were stalledfor more than thirty six hours and that at Green River a stockman recited that he hadbeen delayed for thirteen days with eight cars of cattle and horses. The drifts were so deep in the vicinity of Rawlins, said Mr. Kintigh, that when the rotary snow plows were stuck the railroadmade use of dynamite to blast the snow and then sent the plows forward into the loosened drifts.

Business conditions in Chicago, according to Mr. Kintigh. are generally good, buthe noted that the street railways are facing a serious condition in their inability to transport the laborers from their places of employment to their homes, it being often necessary for many to wait as long asan hour to get a car. "The laborers on smallsalaries cannot afford to live near thebusiness district," he said, "and this problem of transportation is one that must be soon solved."

Among the measures that are due to go to thehouse calendar for final passage this week are the senate public utilities measure, the house consolidation measure pertaining to the health department, the school law codification bill, including a reorganization of the school administrative system, and the fish and game department bill, which practically and revises allthe laws pertaining to the fish and game interests of the state. At a meet ing ofthehouse committee on utilitiesheld yesterday afternoon at theHotel Utah the committee, on a divided vote, decided lo recommend back important dia nges in he utilities mea- sureas it came fromthe senate. It was decided to make the utilities pay for the expenses of the utilities commission, instead of making the state standforthe expense. It was determined to recommend that he state appropriate JliO.OOO to start the work of the commission, although it was evplatned after- the meeting that the commission could levy an assessment under the plan at any time after it went into Thecommitteealsodecided to give the commissionblanket a uthorit to regulate all industrials.

Instead of specifying the industrials, the commission, under the plan recommended, will simply exercise its own judgment as to what it will regulate. The commit tee will meet at 4 o'clock thisafternoon to formulate the language of Its reporl. Unless thecommittee reverses itself, therecommendations will go through as decided yesterday, The health department bill has already been revamped cons! lera bly in he com-- mitteeand it Is expected that it will be still further torn to pieces on the floor of the house on accountofthe wide scope of work included in it andthe vast powers conferred upon thehealth depart-- i ent. Theschool law codification bill Is be- -i ing worked over carefullyby the rom-- mittee on education, but it Is expected that it will be reported tothehouse for action- tomorrow or next day. It is expected that the sifting commit-- I tee will get busy this week and that a large number of bills of minor importance will be weeded out so that thehouse may give its attention and time to putting through the big party measures which are consideredoffirst import and which must be enacted by the legislature if tile party pledges are to be kept.

Representative Young, as the "whip" of the house, will probably be a busy man for the next few days, seeing to it that the party measures are properly taken care of and put through. BRILLIANT SUNSHINE SUCCEEDED BY SNOW Ten hours of brilliant sunshine yesterday meltedmuch snow from city streets andfrom the canyon sides. A snowfall last night that ended as abruptly as it enough snow to replace what had melted away. This, in turn, quickly disappeared. There were no floods reported, owing probably to the fact that here was no frost in the ground, and the water was soaked up by the soil.

So far as reported last night all railroads were open, snowsiides on the Southern Pacific near Reno having been cleared away. Tills was the only road reporting trouble, officials ofall other lines stating that trains were within a few minutesof schedule. With the weather man's prophecy of probable snow for today, with colder weather Tuesday, it appears that Sunday's sunshine was a mere episode, and will not become a daily affair just yer.
