DAYS DEVELOPMENTS. IN EUROPEAN WAR


 : Soldiers fighting in the trenches knee deep in water and swept by driv- ing rains is the story which still comes out of West Flanders. But not ? withstanding the terrible conditions of the battlefield, the German troops and the allied forces still hammer at each other with shot and shell. That serious encounters have taken place along the Yser canal is indicated in the French official announcement that the Germans have been driven back to the right bank, and that the left bank, a small section of which the Germans had held for several days, had been completely evacuated. Also to the south Ypres, the allies have been suc- cessful in repulsing a further offen sive movement. All this has been ac- complished, says the French general staff, with heavy losses to the Ger mans. On the other hand, Berlin gen. eral headquarters notes a slight pro- gress on the right wing, and claims the capture of several hundred French and British in a preliminary encoun- ter and the taking of a strong French point of support in the forest of Ar gonne. Another proof of the severity of the fighting which has been going on in that section where the British forces are entrenched is given in the casualty lists of November 4, 6 and 2, which have just been published at London, showing the loss of 56 Brit ish officers killed, 108 wounded and AT missing.
 The German emperor, whose move ments of late, so far as the various reports were concerned, have been somewhat elusive, appeared on Fri day at koimar, 40 miles south of Strassburg, according to dispatch from Basel, Switzerland. It was to this point that the emperor proceeded at the commencement of the war, and since then he has spent his time alter nately in the eastern and western the aters.
 Petrograd continues to report suc- |cesses in East Prussia, along the Stalluponen-Jo Johannisburg line and also in the region of Soldau and Nend- ,enburg, where the Russians, however, are meeting with desperate resistance. In Poland the Austrians are establish ing defensive positions, while on the Galisian frontier, the Russians are advancing toward the passes over the Carpathians.
 The Austrian troops which have been invading Servia have met strong resistance at Valjevo, but along the River Save are making progress.
 While the Turkish troops are re- ported from Constantinople to have occupied Kotur, in the Persian pro- vince of Azerbaijan, defeating the Russians, an official statement from the British admiralty announces sue cessful operations against the Turk fish garrison at Sheikh- Said, on the strait of Babel Mandeb, at the en- trance of the Gulf of Eden, and of the occupation of the Turkish forts of Turba by Indian troops assisted by the cruiser Duke of Edinburgh. British cruisers thought to be the Suffolk, Berwick and Lancaster, are lying off Colon, With the possible in- tention of passing through the Pana- ma canal to join the Japanese squad ron off the west coast of South Amer ica

A Bold HOIdup
From Bro okfeld j Budget.

From Brookield Budget
Last Friday at midnight Jay
Walker, who has an artificial leg,
was held up on the Main street
sidewalk along side Of the railroad
park between the @ Pharmacy and
the tracks, Two men undertook
the job, and when Walker realized
what they were trying to do he
showed fight. Thereupon they
knocked him down, blacking his
eye and kicking his stub leg, but
getting only a dollar of his money.
AT this point Night Marshal
Kent appeared and captured one
of Walkers assailants but
subdued him only after a lively
fight. The other one of the pair
made his escape. Otto Dorrell of
Laclede, who was arrested for the
offense, spent the remainder Of the
night in the holdover and was
taken to the county Jail to await
his preliminary trial which is set
Thursday.

LacIede SchoOls

The seventh month Of Laclede
Public Schools closed with March
20. The attendance the past
month has been decreased in both
grades and high school, due to the
prevalence of epidemics. There
are a number of children out Of
school who are not sick, but whose
parents are keeping them at home
on account of contagious. We
feel that the fears of such parents
are ungrounded, as we have had
no cases either of measles or
whooping cough, to break out in
school. Many of those children
have been out Of school for several
weeks and will need every day Of
the next seven weeks to make their
grades for the year, so we urge
that, if the children are not sick,
parents be prompt in sending them
back to school.
Pupils in grades and high school
who, Ey perfect attendance and
punctuality, and by attaining a
high grade Of scholarship, have
merited a place on the honor roll
the past month are named as
follows: Second grade, Helen
Strickel, Gladys Anderson; third
grade, Berl Anderson, Ethel Gar
side, Mamie Hudnell; fourth grade,
Allene Byrd, Lucille Jones, Floyd
