STATS.
London,-Concentrating all OF
their enormous energies along the
French left and center, the German
army was today fighting with re-
doubled energy in another attempt to
crush completely the allied armies!
An empty siege of Paris, it is. adj
mitted, would be little of a triumph ~
unless the allied armies were COM
pletely crushed. "
Just what they are is a matter of Z.
guess-work, but from the fact that
the delay in transmission of news
from the continent is now so great Z
that practically no real information
is permitted to come through, it is
argued they contemplate a new Of
fensive move.
Some reports suggest the British
have landed another large force in
Belgium and that they are contem-
plating an offensive movement in CO.
operation with the Belgians, which
will be aimed at the German COM ,
munications, and possibly try to flank
the German right wing in French ter
ritory.
It is stated that while the issue in
GaHcia still is in doubt, the Russians
have succeeded in dividing the Aus =
trian forces and have practically an
initiated one entire army corps, the
Austrian Tenth, and taken thousands
of prisoners. .... ...

ten days prior to election.
There have been a number of resig-

the matter of additional appointments.
A demand will be made for the lists

Reimburse Him for Cloth

seeking legal advice on the question
of where and how to recover IS for a
pair of trousers ruined in performing

hunting rabbits. He chased the men
across fields, up and down hills and
through two bitches. When he re-

KELLY TO PROPOSE
BIBLE STUDY TEXT
Earlham President Suggests
Syllabus Despite Object
ions of GreathOuse.

A proposal that the English section
of the State Teachers association pre-
pare a syllabus on Bible study in the
high schools, will be made by Presi-
dent Robert L. Kelly of Earlham col
lege, when he addresses the State
Teachers association on, "The Study
of the Bible by High School Students. p"
President Kelly said today that
State Superintendent Greathouse had
proposed that the State association
should not prepare a syllabus, but
that since such an unusual interest
had been aroused all over the state
over the question, he felt the matter
should not be allowed to evaporate.
DR.. Kelly said that a joint business
meeting of the high school and En-
glish sections of the association had
been called, to consider this question.
IF the proposed syllabus is adopted,
any high school in the state can take
it up, and use it, and the movement
will not be entirely lost, even if not
considered by the entire Teachers
association, said President Kelly.
