OAKLAND High school NoIes.

As advertised, the Juniors and Seniors
held a spelling match and box supper
on the evening of st. Patrick's Day
There was a marked lack of interest in
the spelling match on the part of the
townspeople, the teachers of both Gram
mar and High schools, and the students.
the result being that there were
but eight on each side, all of tt EN- be-
ing students. We did not intend the
spelling match to be for the students
alone. We were anxious for the CO.
operation of the citizens of Oakland.
And above all, it was a surprise and
disappointment when those teachers
present refused to take part. We
appreciate the fact that several of the
townspeople and teachers who were
asked to come and spell were unable to
do so. We wish to thank our patrons
for their assistance and the orchestra
for its music, and we wish to especially
thank Mrs. Nally, who gave US the use
of the Empire Theatre. We also wish
to thank Capt. Sanner, who pronounced
the words for us.
The Rev. DR.. Ely, OF the Presby-
terrain church, gave US most interest
ing talk on Friday last, his subject be-
ing Some Things To Hold On To. -

Oakland Defeats FriendsviIle.

Oakland easily defeated Friendsvile
in stubbornly fought basket ball game
by score of "a to Is at Friendsville on
Saturday evening. The Friendsville
quintet fought hard during every minute
of play, but were easily outclassed by
the visitors.
Friendsyille succeeded in caging the
ball but once during the first half, while
Oakland, by superior playing, succeeded
in caging five. In the second half the
Friendsville boys fought stubbornly and
forced four goals through. while the
Oakland team scored as many.
The Oakland boys were greatly
handicapped by the low ceiling and small
floor crowded with spectators.

STATEMENT
OF POLAND FIGHTING
Shows. That the Germans Are
Offensive and That Strug-
gle is Very Stubborn.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 1O.-An Off
cial communication issued by the
general staff last night gives the pro-
gress of the fighting in the various
fields. 1t says:
In the region of Mlawa on De-
cember 8 the conflict assumed less
tenacious character. On the left
bank of the Vistula on the evening of
December z the Germans under cover
of darkness suddenly began an often
sive movement simultaneously along
the entire front from How west OF
Warsaw to Glowno, southwest of
Warsaw. The movement was re-
markable for its stubborn nature.
The attack was repeated again and
again, the Germans advancing in
compact columns. Aided by search
lights, however, our fire decimated
the enemy who was everywhere
repulsed. With the rising of the
moon the attacks ceased. The next
day the desperate fighting on the
same front was resumed but with
out success for the enemy.
In the Piatrkow region the situa-
tion is unchanged. The fighting
south OF Cracow has continued. pre-
senting alternately offensive and de-
fensive movements. The Germans
twice attempted to break through
our front but were renulsed."

cases, with little or no equipment OF
