expenditure Of the State fund for the
purchase Of school books. II wasre

Speaking Of tie reason that led to
his resolution, Mr.. Posey in an inter-
view said later
"The State every year expends a
large amount Of money for the pur-
chase Of school books, which are used
free Of charge by the pupils in the
public schools. The money under
the present law can only be used for
the purchas CT books, and, as a re-
suit, it is alleged, that books which
are absolutely unnecessary are pur-

lowed. according to the latest reports,
By the occupation Of Client, which
would seem to confirm the German
plan, as It already has been outlined,
of a movement toward the coast. Will
Ostend as its objective. %.
It Is pointed out by British military
experts that 1t Is Germany's intention
TO make a permanent stronghold OF
Antwerp in order to hold Belgium IN
her grip and in this way gain a posi-
ton within easy reach Of the English
coast.
The fighting along the great line,
extending almost from the North Sea
to the German province Of Lorraine,
continues with indefinite results, for
the actual operations in the northern
sectiou of France are not diyulged to
any extent In the official statements
issued by the French war department

been lowered to insure a large supply
OF recruits. Similarly. Great Britain
is taking precautions against raid
over English towns by Germans ar
ships, this action probably resulting
from the recent attacks on Paris b!
, aeroplanes.
Berlin officially reports the situa

as her army Is concerned, and othe
official reports indicate that the Ger
