LONDON, Dec. 14.-An official bureau statement
says: yesterday submarine Bill in charge of Lieuten
ant Commander Noran B. Holbrook of the Royal Navy

rent dved under five of marines and torpedOed the
battleshp Messudeh, which guarding the line fields

The Messudieh carried of six hundred was of
10000 tons burden and had main battery of two 90
inch and twelve 6-inch guns
The submarines feat in penetrating the supposedly
impregnable Dardanelles and passing the mines and
guarded harbor is claimed the greatest naval exploit of
the war.

successes and the capture of pris-
oners and guns, apparently no de-
cisive result has been reached in
any series of contests. The Germans
are still delivering heavy blows at
the Russian center, where they assert
they took 900 prisoners and forty
machine guns, while in the south of
Cracow, where the Russians are on
the offensive, Grand Duke Nicholas
reports the capture of 1000 prisoners,
four guns and seven machine guns
Another Russian force is holding
the passes of the Carpathians and
is thus preventing the Austrians from
sending relief to their army in Ga
licla. There is no news of the Ger
man troops who are advancing south
of Mlawa with the object of attempt
ing to turn the Russian right since
Petrograd reported a partial success
over them.

French Cut Germs" 'res,

London, Dec. 14.-Both the German
and French official reports contain
evidence that the allies offensive
movement is beginning TO gather i'm
petus and is meeting with stubborn
resistance from the German troops
who have been left to hold the west
ern line while their comrades are
battling with the Russians in the
east.
The French have been particularly
active in the WoevTe region, where
they have been trying to cut off the
German force which projects like an
arrowhead to St Mihiel on the Meuse
The German report shows that
General Joffres men have reached a
point midway between st. Mihiel
and Pont-a Mousson. and they must
have got across the German line Of
communications. but they lost 500
men in prisoners and a large num-
Der of killed and wounded.
In the same region the French
claim to have made substantial pro-
gress. There has also been more
fighting around Ypres-that bone of
in Flanders.

WHAT WILL
BECOME Of THE
LAME DUCKS?
WITH THE FIRST OF THE YEAR
APPROACHING, SEVERAL OF
FIcERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO
THE PREFIX "Ex."

With the end of the present year
will also come the end of some who
have been identified with the official
life of the county since statehood.
and when this end comes, the afore-
said and the same viii be looking
about for other means of livelihood.
When the last Legislature, in its
wisdom, consolidated several county
offices, 1t also reduced the fat jobs
that were in evidence before that
time. IT also made IL obligatory
upon some who had held office since
the dawning Of statehood to seek
other employment, but in this county
at least. be it said that every out
going official is glad that the change
has been brought about, and say
that they are now at liberty to try
to make little money for them
selves and families.
Among those who will be out in
this county will be the present regis
ter of deeds. w. b. Frame. He has
not decided what he will do after
his term expires, but will probably
go into business. B. W. Duke, coun-
ty clerk. will spend his time between
the city and his farm. where he is
learning to grow alfalfa. John Glider.
his deputy. will probably be found on
the state payroll, and George Leeman
has not decided just what he will do.
Many of the deputies now employ

positions.

OCCURRENCE
LAST NEGRO lYNCHEO DENIED
TO THE LAST ANY COMPLETELY
IN MURDER OF HICKS. SENTI.
MENT AGAINST LYNcHERs.

Shreveport, La, Dec. 13.-More or
less definite information has reached
here that the negro, Watkins Lewis,
who was taken from the Jail last night
by few men and whirled away in an
automobile, was bound to tree and
burned to death near Sylvester in the
western portion of the parish near the
Texas line, where it is alleged, he, to-
gether with two other negroes, who
were lynched last week, was implicat-
ed in the murder and ROBBERY of Charles
NJ. Hicks. postmaster and merchant of
Sylvester.
Despite the tortures to which it is
said Lewis was subjected before death
relieved him. he is said to have main
tanned to the last that he had no part
in the murder of Hicks and therefore
could not tell the hiding place of the
money stolen from Hicks store. The
charred body of the negro was found

District Judge T. f. Bell today or
dered the grand jury to convene here
next Wednesday to investigate yester-
days two lynchings. 1t is declared to
be the purpose of the authorities to
slit both affairs to the bottom with the
view of indicting those who may be
found to have taken part in them.
1t is expected that the grand jury
will also inquire into the measures
taken by the parish authorities to pro-
tect the negroes after they had been
placed in jail, in order to determine
or not there was any derelic-
tion of duty on the part of any of
fetal. 1t developed today that Sheriff
Flournoy was absent from the city on
a hunting trip and the duties of his
office devolved upon his deputies.
With record of eight lynchings in
this parish, during the last twelve /

CAME LAWS
AFARCE SAYS
SPORTSMAN
UNLESS SOMETHING is DONE
TO ENFORCE THEM GAME WILL
BE A THING OF THE PAST IN
FIVE YEARS.

That the game laws which is sup
posed to protect and conserve the
game of the state fails of its pur-
pose is the assertion of thorough
sportsman recently returned from
the Kiamichi mountains, where he has
been for the past two weeks hunt
ing. He states that the average citi-
zen living in that section pays about
as much attention TO the game laws
and open season as they do the
vaporings Of a Mississippi steamboat
which is not at all, and they kill
deer, turkey and other wild game
whenever the spirit and the oppor-
tunity moves them. This man states
that he is going before the next leg
islature and present few facts,
backed by proof and see If some
thing cannot be done to prevent the
wholesale slaughter of game in the
only real game preserve of the state.
Most of the hunters who visit that
region bring back practically the
same tale. and unless something is
done to put a stop to the wholesale
slaughter, there will be no game left
within a very few years.
This agitation is being taken up
by sportsmen all over the state, and
there Is little doubt but what some
drastic measures will be passed by
the next legislature
