LONDON, Dec. "A decisive vic
tory by Christmas, either in the west.
in Poland, or upon the sea.
This Is the popular cry today, and
with the rulers of five countries now
at the front. It Is believed strenuous
efforts are to be made TO bring some
one OF the drawn-out struggles in
progress in the vast war zone to de-
cision
In every fighting region the strug-
gle has swung in the balance for a
time, and then came to a deadlock.
The present fighting in Poland threat
ems to become as bitter, but as indie
cisive, as the battle for the possession
of the coast In the west The Rus
SLAMS now officially admit the Ger
man army Is In position TO offer de-
termined battles, and Is in no danger
of humiliation. Berlin expects the
Germans TO resume the offensive, but
with the vast Russian forces In the
field the Germans may be held in
check indefinitely, il is believed here.
This is the one hundred and twen-
tieth day OF the war and the forty
seventh day OF the battle for the
French coast. In Galicia, the Rus
SLAMS and Austrians are engaged in
the longest single struggle OF the war
at Przemysl.
The fortress has been besieged for
three months, practically without q
break. The Russians were forced TO
fall back at one time for a short pc
Rod, but soon returned and the In.
yestment is now complete.
All reports indicate that the Rus
SLAMS are rapidly enveloping Cracow.
and another siege is virtually in prog.
ress there. A virtual state of siege
also exists on. the sea. The British
feet can only keep up their patrol
duty. The Germans remain In their
ports
Along the entire line from the coast
to Switzerland, both the German and
allied armies are dug deep in the
ground, and a 300-mile long siege line
lis established, The troops are unable
to keep warm. The suffering from
frozen hands and feet is intense. Sick
ness is declared to be thinning tina
German ranks, but neither side has
struck a blow which would bring a
decision and shift the scene OF opera
lions.

committed. She still claims

that he was going to kill Autry

that morning. She. says she
feels that she will be able to es-

Of time ins which they had to do
an enorMous amount Of work,
have decided to call off the Hen

October goth to oath inclusive,
The premium list was TO be
made up and in accordance with
money subscribed for the pur-
pose and the delay in the pay
ment of that money left litue
time in which to do the hardest

a personal solicitor the money
could have been collected, but
the subscribers did not pay in
response to published requests
because, we take it, of the un.
settled condition in the county.
We merely make this statement
to explain to all at once why the

If there are others who think
they can collect the money and
yet hold the fair, they are well

But the Attendance Not
Being Great Another
Meeting was Called for
Saturday, the 2oth.

The Progress man on last Mon
day afternoon stumbled on a
meeting in the Circuit court
room, of which he was not aware
and to which he had not been
invited.
When we entered the room,
the meeting was in informal
session, without a chairman, and
was being addressed by State
Senator John L. Hare, on the
sebiect of and in opposition to
the County High School.
We were already aware Of Sen
ator Hare's bitter opposition to
the High School system of the
county and that during the first
session of the last Legislature he
had backed movement to re-
district Henderson county and
put it back as it was previous to
the last redistricting, which
would give the county again
twentyscivil districts and the
county court forty odd members.
Those present seemed to be in
hearty sympathy with Senator
Hare's views on the subjects
named. The Progress man made
a little defense Of the High
School and declared his contin-
ued advocacy of all questions
tending toward the advance.

the crowd was riproriously "agin

The subject matter on the pro-
gram of the meeting was put IN
the shape Of petition, which
we Judge to be the same that
was circulated in the county
while the late Legislature was IL
session. The following is the
petition and program, which wa'
handed to us by Mr.. W. d. Hal
brooks, who seemed to be acting
somewhat in the capacity o.
chairman Of the meeting.
