Battle Reaching Climax.

By United Fress.
London, Dec. A battle for the
possession of the Belgian coast is ap-
preaching its climax Seven hundred
thousand allies are fighting an equal
number of Germans. Enormous losses
on both sides are certainty.
The Germans have mined the
trenches and will blow them up If they
are forced to retire. King Georges
visit is inspiring the allied troops. He
may extend his visit according to a
statement issued here today.
Meanwhile the Russians are claim
ing an advantage on. the eastern bat
tie front The extreme mobility OF
Won Hindenbergs army makes it pos
sible for him to stubbornly resist all
attempts of the Russians to throw
him back on his own frontier. The
Russians, fighting stubbornly, have
thrown the Austrians back on their
southern front. The cars army is
now within range of the defenses at
Cracow.
Important as this is--for the fall of
Cracow would lay open the roads to
Vienna, Breslau and Berlin-the main
interest in the east continues to rest
with the operations of the irregular
| front from Czenstochowa through
LODI and Lowicz to the east Prussian
| border Official pronouncements as
| to the progress here are vague and in
| definite and it is thus difficult to ar
rive at conclusion with regard to
the course of events
1t is apparent however that a new
battle has developed to the southwest
of Lodz where the Germans have
| formed new line with fresh forces
brought from Kalisse and are again
trying to penetrate the Russian cen.
| ter.
German experts believe that defeat
for the Russians would enable the
German generals to unite all their
forces for another blow against the
allies in the west.
However, the battle must last for
several days and the opposing forces
must be counted on to fight with the
same intensity as they did in the
/ previous conflict when the losses in
killed, wounded and missing reached
enormous numbers
From Petrograd comes the report
that Gen. Rennenkampf has been made
the scapegoat on account of the Ma
poleonic coup which enabled the Ger
man forces to cut through the en-
circling Russian Gordon. According
to this report the dilatoriness of Gen
/ Rennenkampf in bringing UP rein
forcements made the success of tlC
Germans move possible.

MORGAN TO MAKE
DISTRICT CANVAS.
Sixth District Congressman Expects
No Opposition in Coming
Election.

New Orleans, June 29.-Lewis L.
Morgan, Representative in Congress
from the Sixth Louisiana District,
spent part of Monday in New Or
leans. He left in the afternoon for
his home in Covington, and after a
short stay there, will make q tour of
his district. Congressman Morgan
has been hard ct work in Washington
during most Of the time following
his election two years ago. and he
ayailed himself of this opportunity
to come to Louisiana and go over the
political situation with his friends
1t seemed as If Mr.. Morgan would
have opposition up to few week
ago, but his friends now assert he
will be reelected in the fall without
opposition. During his career in
Congress Mr.. Morgan accomplished
much good for the agricultural in
terests OF his district, as we'll as 9TH
er sections of he State. He has a
big following in the Florida parishes,
and his support in the sugar parishes
always has been formidable.
II merely came down to meet my
friends and go over the fie1d,'' said
Mr.. Morgan Monday. There has
been some talk Of opposition to me
in the coming election, but upon the
sincere assurance Of support rendered
me by my friends, l believe l have
nothing to worry about. Neverthe-
less, l shall canvas my district from
one end to the other, as know from
experience that the best way to as
certain the wishes and sentiments of
the people is through personal con-
tact"

COVINGTQN BANK & TRUST COM
PANY DECLARES SEMI-AN-
NUAL DIVIDEND.

The stockholders of the Covington
Bank & Trust Company, since the
first. of the month, have been wear
ing their usual semi-annual dividend
smile. This IS truly a smile that
will not wear off, as the banks Of
ficials always see to it that before the
old smile is gone new one is pro-
duced by the handing out of a fat
dividend check. During the past six
months this institution, after charg-
ing off the cost of operating, has paid
out to it's savings depositors upward
of 5000, paid to its stockholders
an even $4,000, and passes approx
mately $4,000 to the Undivided
Profits" account. Were all banks
run on the same basis as is this one,
nothing would have ever been heard
of the so-called guaranteed" de-
posits law, for while the management
is liberal and far-sighted enough to
keep a large amount Of its funds in
vested, it does SO with caution, al
ways bearing in mind the duty It
owes to the depositors and the COM
munity at large.

ton to such matters as might be
brought before them with the CO.
operation and assistance of their of
ficers. Mayor Lacroix has expressed
himself as desirOus of doing anything
he can in his official capacity to
bring under closer inspection and
guardianship the conduct of girls
whose late-hour amusements offer a
suspicion that all is not as it should
be. Women in Covington who are
workers for better conditions and
who feel the necessity of putting the
stamp of disapproval upon any con-
duct that opens a pathway to future
SORROW or degradation, are in hearty
accord with this movement.
Judge Lancaste4 also believes that
the open condemnation of doings that
are criticised in whispering groups
will have beneficial, effect in pre-
venting scandals that may go SO far
rs to become necessary court proceed
ings. in which there will be no Op-
portunity of cOncealment and no

ClIZENS OF ABITA
HOLD MASS MEETING
and PASS SOME
RESOLUTIONS

At recent town election In Abita
Springs there were about sixty-five
votes cast, and these we're so evenly
divided between the two factions that
the town was split exactly in two,
vote. The election was contested on
the ground that illegal votes had been
cast, and Injunction proceedings tied
up the towns money SO that It ss
in sore straits for the necessary funds
or bridge and street repair as well as
the salaries Of its officers. The two
factions are as wide apart now as
before the election, with little pros
poets of any settlement of the dif-
Guilty out of court. Abita Is pretty
well filled with summer visitors,
mostly from New Orleans, and the
town would like to present as nice
an appearance as possible. This is
the situation that brought about a
mass meeting last Tuesday to which
both factions were invited but which
seems to have been attended mainly
by the Glisson faction. There we're
between twenty-five and thirty peo-
pie present, some being New Orleans
people. The meeting was presided
over by Capt. H. J. Thompson and
Judge A. o. Pons acted as secretary.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
# Be it known, That we, the citizens
of Abita Springs, in mass meeting
assembled, do hereby declare that We
deprecate and denounce as un-Ameri-
can and in direct conflict with the
republican form of government guar
anteed to the people of this State,
the continued and persistent enorts
of defeated and disappointed mi
nority to substitute the rule of the
courts, through writs of Injunction
and other harsh process for the will
of the people expressed in far and
legal election held in our town on
April 81, 1914.
Be it further resolved, That we
express our confidence in the officers
of our town. elected on April FL,
1914, and duly comm: :ssicned by the
Governor of the State of Louisiana,
on May 6. 1914, and that we heartily
commend the officers N their efforts

sustain and put in effect the will Of
the people of Abita Springs, despite
the unwarranted and illegal efforts
of repudiated minority.
Be it further resolved. That we
call on the good, liberty-loving peo-
pie of the parish of st. Tammany to
stand with us in opposing the sub
stitution of rule of the court for the
will of the people as expressed by
their ballot.
Be it further resolved, That copy
of these resolutions be furnished the
New Orleans papers, the st. Tam
many Farmer and Slidell American.
The Bordes faction claims that
while the town is tied up by litiga-
tlon 1t is the only resource whereby
they could secure q. just consideration
of their rights. That the only object
of going into the courts was to Sc
cure to themselves the right given
under the law, and that by that pro-
cess they can only be heard on mat
ters as entitle them to come before
the court for protection. That they
did not attend the meeting because
they considered it to be play upon
the sympathy Of the people. and be-
cause it was purely factional meet
ing, the sentiments of which they
could not endorse and which could
bring forth no good to the town.
