In the following advertisement

move that ought to serve to put

of the crying abuses of the United

1t is of common knowledge that

latiOn of the postal laws, the filthy
publications have been delivered to
persons who have not paid for them
and who did not want them. 1t is
generally believed that quite a con-
siderable portion of the circulation
Of the papers in question has been
acquired and is retained in this un-
lawful manner. Father Collins has
hit upon what promises to be an ef-
fectual method OF exposing the
guilty men and of making them pay
the penalty of their dereliction.

have advanced slightly The enemy
has not attempted an attack.
Between scissors and Rheims
there has been no important change in
the situation.
Second - on the center between
Rheims and Nerdun the situation also
is unchanged. In the Woevre region
the enemy has been able to cross the
river Meuse in the vicinity OF
st. Mihiel, but the offensive taken by
our troops already has to large eX

ITO the south of the WoeVre region

suffered great losses.
"Third-On our right wing, in Lor-

overwhelming force of Germans who
gradually were approaching nearer
the Highlands. Their Maxim gun
had ceased fire, all of it's crew being
killed, when the Highlander got up
from cover lifted the Maxim on his
back and amid a storm of German
bullets carried it, tripod and all, at a
run across the bridge to the far side.
There he put the gun down and the
Maxim being still charged, opened a
hail of bullets upon the advancing Ger
mans who wavered and then broke
and fed to cover leaving scores Of
dead behind At this moment the
Highlander himself was killed. but he
had checked the German advance and,
when British reinforcements arrived
the Germans abandoned the attempt
to capture the bridge. Afterwards IL

seven hours of continuous speech
making, which nad no effect on the
final result, the Democratic tax bill,
designed to raise sos, 100000 to meet
a prospective Treasury emergency due
to the European war, was passed
through the House yesterday. The
vote was 233 to 1876. With one eX-
ception every affirmative vote was cast
by a Democrat, while the solid Re
publican minority in lining up against
the measure was assisted by eleven
Democrats.
The bill now must run the gamut Of
the Senate, where also it is destined
to be political issue as between the

leaders believe they can defeat the
bill, or, at least, disfigure it or delay
