6. O. P. REGULARS WON'T APPRECIATE
 TESlNY'S MERITS
North End Leaders Candidacy For Deputy Sheriff Not
 Unanimously Supported.

For real, b1own-in-t -tFe-bottle nodes ty, Nick Tesiny has the shrinking vio- let looking like 2, boastful actor tell ing how he knocked 'ern cold in Kan kakee. According to the. story cir culated by Republicans, Nick recently invaded a meeting of the Eighth Dis trict Republican club
 In his hand he held a paper, which certified that MT. Tesiny would make a fine deputy sheriff and now iN the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party. Somebody was cruel enough to suggest that Tesiny pre- pared this 1attering. tribute himself.
 The paper was read to the assem- b1ed gathering amid silence that could be cut with a, knife. It is alleged that Tesiny was compared to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Santa Claus and none of the celebrated trio had anything on him.
 There were IT members present when the paper was read and seven walked out on Nick. The others were willing to try anything once, so they stuck to the bitter end. Certain parties in the Eighth district say Nick has not been a. strict party man in past cam paigns and they'll be tinwhistled if they'll stand for him for deputy sher if

 Spies are sharply divided into two classes by British opinion Of the German naval reserve. Lieut.. Carl Hans Lody. who was shot in the Tower of London. the papers have had nothing unlxind to say. For a naturalized barber, named Ernst, who was sentenced to seven years impris- onment, there has been much execra- ton. Those who sentenced Ernst called him ia contemptibIe ereature' and said that he would have been as willing to betray Germany as he was England if paid for his .work.
 None of the possible but unprovab1e things has taken so firm a hold on popular belief as the wonderful doings of German spies The authorities are inundated with Revelations and clues. The whole east coast of England is swarming with men who send flash if the stories. Of the newspapers in coast towns are correct.

GTernaaIs have made excavations. however, laid con crete ,foundatiens for heavy guns at ning1y concealed roads from landing bases according to some of the most strongly urged clues
 Behind the masses of suspicion and rumor there is enough activity by the Germans discovered from time to time to keep the public in a state of un easiness. The suspicion that the Ger mans have a base for submarines, 9 supply station for aeroplanes and the Scottish coast may be founded on fact

KAISER, IN POLAND,
 MAY BRING ACHECK TO RUSSIAN ADVA VANCE

Throughout Belgium the Germans are remaining, generally speaking, on the defensive and immediate signs of a. renewal of attempts to hack their way to the French coast are lacking.
 Some despatches say that the Ger mans already have begun to fall back from their rear <entrenchments but as the official statements make no men ton of this it is assumed it is only a guess of correspondents working on the theory that the Russian success has been overwhelming and final.
 King Georges visit to France seems greatly to appeal to the popular ima- gination. The newspapers are featur- ing His MaJesty's trip. pointing put that it is the first time reigning British monarch has been with armies in the field for III years.

London. Dec. 1@The British press 1nterpretfng the news despatches from Petrograd today contends that a Rus sian success on a colossal scale still is possible, but in all quarters it is admitted that the recent claims of a complete Russian victory were prema- ture.
 Poland, with Emperor William on the field, will likely continue to over shadow all other war areas for some days to come. Even the London press is devottng more space to the battles there than to the conflict in Flanders. This partly is due. of course. to the fact that there has been so little change in the western situa- xion, conditions which may persist until some sharp turn occurs in the eastern struggle.

JEwlsn EVANGELIST COMING

Announcement was made at the
Baptist church last Sunday morning
that Rev. Max Wortheimer, the great
converted Jewish rabbi evangelist,
will come to Fredericktown and begin
a series of evangelistic meetings on
Thursday of next week. This promis-
es to be one of the most interesting
efforts put forth here this winter.
Rev. Max Wertheimer, Phi. d., of
Ada, Ohio, is the only converted, or
dained American rabbi who is preach
ing the gospel of Christ in the United
States. He was for ten years, previous
to his conversion, the officiating rabbi
of the Bue Jeshurun Temple of Day
ton, Ohio. His thorough knowledge of
the Hebrew scriptures, makes the pos.
sibility of his being since his conver.
sion, what his evangelistic work is
now proving, one of the greatest and
clearest living expositors of the word
of God
The Baptist church is very fortun.
ate in being able TO secure his services
for meeting from March IL to 81 The
public should plan to attend every
service, and pray much for the meet
ings. DIR. Wertheimer is not story
telling, sensational, emotionalist. Moth
ing but the plain, simple gospel will
be unfolded. Some of his eXpositions
will be illustrated with large charts
and diagrams. He is pre-eminently 8
man of Sod, almost another Paul
whom God is richly blessing in his
evangelistic work. For the public wei
fare, bespeak large attendance, i
will be one of the greatest opportuni
ties to hear the unsearchable riches
OF the gospel the people of Frederick
town have ever had.

Gasparilla colors OF red and green, and
the merry makers enjoying them
selves as never before one can hardly
realize that but few miles north all
is winter where carnival such as this
could not be enjoyed.
Among the great crowd of one hun
dred thousand people visitors to the
city, enjoying the many beautiful at
fractions was Mr. Smith former may
or of Mt Vernon and his daughter,
Mr.. w. A. Wander. former auditor of
Knox county, and his family, also his
son and wife who are now residents of
st, Petersburg, Fla. Mr. McFadden, a
former Mt Vernon boy, who has been
living in Tampa for the past 20 years.
Also Mr.. Barber and Mr.. Jones all of
Mt. Vernon. Then there was Judge
Seward of Newark and DR.. Hess of
Ashland who are no doubt we'll known
to many Knox county people. All of
being the most glorious event that
they had ever had the pleasure of see
ing in the south.
Saturday Feb. 21st the opening day
was ushered in by the booming of can
