Never before was California so
awakened to the evil of booze as 1T
is today. From the Oregon line to
the Mexican line, everywhere the
voices of the people are being lifted,
and those who have been doubtful of
the result of the statewide dry
movement are become hopeful of the
result.
The work in this county by Mrs.
Griffith and Mrs. Young has aroused
great enthusiasm, and it is evident
this county will go dry by an over
whelming majority.
Beautiful Cantata.
At the Christian church last even
ing there was rendered a beautiful
cantata, "Columbia's New White Re-
public"
The republic" consists of the ten
states which have banished booze, and
these were represented by ten pretty
little girls in white, over whom Mrs.
Frank Young presided as Columbia,
while Harry w. Krotz personified
King Alcohol. Miss Imogene Aten
represented California, Miss Georgia
Watkins made plea for the mothers
and Frederic Rapson for the fathers
of the state, while large class of
boys and girls pleaded for them
selves.
AS the story ran, Columbia was
proud of her "New White Republic"
while the booze interests claimed the
right of dominion over the state. Cal
fornia, clad in mourning, appealed for
admission to the White Republic and
King Alcohol resisted this.
After pleadings were made, Califor-
MIA was admitted, the black robe was
cast off and she was crowned as had
been the ten other states.
There was beautiful singing and
effective recitation as features of the
cantata.
Mrs. Hester Griffith made brief
and forceful address, appealing for
votes for a dry satte.

(By Franklin P. Merrick)

ing lard at three separate points on
the German right wing. Near Sois-
sons, where the allies got their first
firm foothold on the north side of the

wedge between the German right and

The allies already have captured
several strong positions there, togeth-
er with a number of lines of trenches.

The arrival of President Poincaire

imminent, if not already an accom-
rlished fact.

ground at certain points," is the ad
mission made in an official statement
at 8 this afternoon. The statement
declares, however, that the battle so
far is indecisive.
"On our left wing, north of the
Ooise, the battle continues violently,
with results undecided. We have been
compelled at certain points to give
ground. On the rest of the front
there is no change.
"In Russia, in the battle of the last
six lays, the German army operating
between the East Prussian frontier
and the Neiman has been defeated
along the full line land has effected
q retreat, abandoning quantities of
supplies. 1t has evacuated complete

cd prescribed for taking this scholast-

taking the census which is taken in
all of the school districts between

reports received to date, 13 counties
as follows show a gain in the scholast-
ic population over last year: Beck

net gain in the counties that have re-
ported, is $500, which indicates that
there will be probably gain of fif-
teen thousand for the state. All re-
