han fracasado. De Craonne a Rheims

violentos contra ataques ejecutados
durante la noche Ell enemigo ha ira
tado en- vano de tomar la ofensiva con
ira Rheims. AL centro de Rheims y el
Argonne el enemigo Sc ha reforzado
con importantes fortifcaciones Y ha
adoptado una actitud puramente de-
fensiva, al Este del Argonne y en- el
Woevre. La situacion no ha cambiado
en- nuestra ala derecha, en- Lorena nj

siciones organizadas para la defenslva

pado q Sandomir. Tambien han toma-

DEL sCOURRIER DES
ETATS UN1S', PARA Ell BOLE-
TIN MERCANTIL.


Ell abate Wetterle, ell valiente defen-
sor de los recuerdos Y esperanzas fran
cesas en- Alsacia y Lorena, providencial-
mente escapado del castigo aleman ha
comunicado algunas impresiones direc-
tas sobre ell ejercito aleman a la prem
sa de Paris.
Ell abate Wetterle ha tenido la oca-
sion, en- calidad de diputado en- ell rel
chstag. de asistir ofciamente a las ma
niobras del ejercito imperial y de oir
las declaraciones autorizadas de sus je-
fes.
Ell ejercito aleman, declara el abate
Wetterle, es potente, acknowledgements,
Ell reichstag no ha escatimado nunca los
creditos necesarios. Los servlcloS au
xiliares estan organizados admirable
mente bien. Todas las innovaciones mo-
dernas encuentran su aplicacion meto-
dica La maquina de guerra alemana
es una combination tan grande que creo
que ell menor grano de arena que hiclese
parar un engranage, podrla parar ell
conjunto.
II Estan los oficiales a la altura de
su mission?
Ell Official de guerra vale. Ell otro,
ell Official de la tropa, es un senior CO.
rrecto, de porte irreprochable de ade-
names estudiados, O. Sc presenta blen en-
las paradas, pero que me parece conocer
POGO su oficio Ignore cuando esos Sc
Ilores pueden dedicar algnn tempo al

tel. la tarde la noche Ell los cafes GER
vecerias y en- el casino militar. Me fl
guro que ese Official debe de dirijir bas
tante NAL una maniobra que Sc apar-
tie de 10 que hace todos los dias, pero
sabra morir con elegancia.
-iY los altos puestos?
Hay pocos generates conocldos en-
Alemania. Bernhard ten1a una exec
lente reputation de tactico, pero no
era del agrado del emperador. Won
Emmich, segiln sc dice ha muerto Ha
esler es demasiado viejo Hace seis 6

Jutterbock, en- donde presentaban las
nuevas municiones de artiller1a los
miembros de la comision del presupues-

que en- un lunch que fue servido des
pues de las maniobras, me encontrase
al lado del ministro de la guerra, el ge-
neral Won Eynem. Sc hablo natural

que dijo el ministro.
"Cuando los Electives sean de tres

PHYslcloNs UNAUTHORIZED
No Law in Iowa Permitting Boards
70 Employ Doctors.

Special ID i lIHcS-ISSpuUIICtdl.
Des Moines, Sept. 16.-1n response to
an inquiry the legal department of the
state has indicated that it is not con-
templated in the Iowa laws that a
school board shall employ a physician
to inspect pupils In the public schools
and that there is no way for paying
for such services.
That which has been done in many
Instances is to have the school board
employ some one as a teacher and who
is qualified to teach but who is also
q doctor and to thus secure the serv-
ices Of doctor paid out Of the teach
ers fund. But this is an irregular way
OF getting at It.
The attorney general suggests that
the better way would be to have the
matter handled through the local
health boards. They can work in con-
junction with school boards provided
IT is desirable to have a physician em-
ployed to do any work in connection
with the schools. But there Is no pro-
vision in law for the payment Of a ply
sician out Of any school money.

SUPREME COURT 70 WlTHHoL,'
RULING ON coNsTsrU.
rloNALIrY OF LAWS.
WIZ DELAY UNTIL STATE
LEGISLATURE is IN SESSION
Will Give Laxsmaksrs Chance 20 Re-
pass Statutes Under Question by
Legal Dspartmsn ts-eius Sky, Cos.
son Abatement and Motor Vehicle
Statutes to Be Reviewed.

Des Moines, Sept. 16-Decisions IN
cases which the supreme court now
has under consideration, in which the
constitutionality Of laws is involved.
probably will not be handed down in
the term which will open Sept. %. 1t
lis reported that the court will hold
these findings until January so as to
give them out when the legislature is
in session.
Among the decisions not expected
until January is that on the Lynch
case involving the Cosson red light
law. Guy F'eely, speaker Of the house.
neglected or forgot to sign the bill.
and the opposers Of the law have at
tackled it on this ground.
Chance to Re-enact.
Whethed the court will find the
aw- invalid or not. it is practically
certain that the decision will not
come in until the legislature is in ses-
sion. Il the law is knocked out. it
!; may be re- enacted and all Of the rules
observed. provided the lawmakers fav-
or It, it is said.
, be delayed until January. It is known
that the court has not yet reached a
decision and it may not hand down a
f, unanimous opinion. While the federal
court ruled on this case, what it. really
held, 1t is interpreted, was that there
is debatable question and that the
law may Be Unconstitutional. This
leaves the supreme court the task OF
~ anf oil or nrfo AvNd iv1O
in this case.
Automobile Law Another.
The court also has the motor vehicle
a resident Of one of the northern
counties objects to the present system
of collecting fees on automobiles and
che issuance Of license numbers. If this
Jaw is to be knocked out, it could not
come at better time, state officials
say. for the reason that agitation has
oeen so keen that 1t is practically Ger
cain that the legislature will make
some change in the automobile law.
Whether the system of fees will be
changed. and whether the place Of
payment Of the fees is to be made Diff
ierent has not yet been determined.
The state has defended the present law
on the ground that the registration fee
is not a tax but police regulation.
There are number of other opin-
ions which probably will go over un-
ill January also. Among them are the
Waterloo and Ottumwa saloon cases,
recently submitted. These cases are so
extended and involve SO much work for
the court that II will take time to pre-
pare and agree upon a finding, it IS
said.
