JOSEPH SMITH IS DEAD
Head OF Mormon Church Passes Away.
Eldest Son Succeeds Hmm
Cheerful Humor.

independence, Mo.-A revelation re-
ceived by Joseph C.. Smith, president
Of the reorganized church Of the Lat
ter Day Saints, eight years ago, des-
ignating as his successor his eldest
son, lifted from the church the burden
of choosing a new leader upon the
death here Of the patriarch who for "a
years had presided yer the organiza-
ton. The son, Frederick M. Smith.
who, since his father announced the
divine revelation III 1906, has fulfilled
many OF the duties Of leadership, au-
tomatically becomes head Of the
church.
The new president is 81 years old.
His designation to succeed his father
was ratified by the general conference
shortly after the father announced the
revelation.
Although he was blind and during
the last days suffered frequent rushes
Of pain. President Smith in his fina
hours showed a cheerful humor. JUS
before he became unconscious hi
smiled and said:
Il wish that those Of my friendi
who may intend placing flowers on N.
coffin would refrain. Let them CIV
the money to charity"
Lower coast gazette., 1914-12-19

London.-There is disparity between
French and German accounts OF the
battles in Flanders and France. 1t Is
apparent from both, however, that the
allies have assumed at least a partial
offensive. The French announce thai
this movement is meeting with sue
cess. while the Germans declare the
attacks of the allies have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses.
The general impression here IS that
the allies, with artillery and occasion
al infantry attacks, are preparing the
way for a general offensive, but II
doing so are meeting with the usuaI
stubborn resistance from the Germans
who are firmly established in en-
trenched positions. The advance, II
it is possible, must therefore be slow
Lower coast gazette., 1914-12-19

Berlin.-The German army head'
quarters made this announcement:
"In Flanders the French made at
tacks in the region Of Langemarck'
which, however, were repulsed. They
lost 200 men in killed and we took
$40 prisoners.
"Our artillery bombarded the Ypres
railroad station to interfere with the
movements Of the enemy's troops.
1--WE have made some progress near
Arras.
"French troops again attacked US
near Souain.P erthes, but without sue
cess.
I'm the Argonne. forest the French
for two weeks past have limited them.
salyes to very weak attacks, and they
everywhere have been repulsed. On
the other hand, German troops have
again taken possession OF an impor'
tant French position Of support by
means Of the explosion Of q mine. The
enemy has suffered heavy losses IN
killed and many Of their troops have
been SO severely shaken a. to be un
able to fight any longer. Moreover
we took 200 prisoners near Apremont
South Of St. Mihiel repeated stubborn
French attacks were repulsed, as wer'
also other attacks in the vicinity o
Markirch."

MAIN PLANT BURNS
Loss About 100000 With $2,ooo,ooo
lnsurance-Buildings Were Con-
sidered Fireproof.

West Orange, N. J.-Fire destroyed
virtually the entire main plant OF the
Edison Company here, causing damage
estimated at nearly $1,000 900, with III
surance that it is expected will reduce
the loss to approximately $5,OOO,OOO.
An e. ire square block of modern re
enforced concrete buildings, which
were supposed to be freproof, was
burned out by the flames. The only
building saved in the block was tne
laboratory building. containing valua
bic scientific machinery under the I'M
mediate SUPPLEMENTARY OF the IN.
ventor. Thomas A. Edison. Especlai
efforts made to save this structure
were successful.
It is estimated that 5000 men anu
women will be temporarily thrown OUT
of work because of the fire. In all,
| about 1000 persons were employed al
the plant, but at the storage battery
| building across the street from the
| main plant was saved, with otne1
buildings nearby, it will be possible 70
keep something more than half the
force employed.
Four firemen were injured nghtlhe
the blaze and were taken to a o
pital.
although l am more than Ct year,
