 Northeast of Nieuport - kaisers
 Men Said to Have Wor Successes at
 Dixmude, Langemarck. and Ia Bas-
 see-Paris Denies Berlin Statements.
 The feature of Cn official bulletin from the Paris war office is the report that the French troops near St. Mihie have taken possession of the outskirts of the village of Chauyancour, the oEly point remaining in German possession on the left bank of the Mouse. This is taken to indicate renewed activity by this section of the French line.
 The heights of the Mouse and the country between Bixschoote and Ar mentieres appear to be the centers of activity. Elsewhere the combat is con- fined to artillery duels.
 The kaiser continues to concentrate his heaviest attacks on the cllies in the region between Dixmude and the River Lys, according to an official bulletin from the Paris war office.
 Along this line as far as Ypres the French and Belgian troops have re- pulsed every onslaught with great loss to the enemy. One entire German regi ment was destroyed in a sharp action to the south of Bixschoote.
 The war office officially denies the German statements that the French have been driven from the Argonne re- zion. 1t is stated that the fighting front there has not sensibly varied for the past two months. The French and German trenches at some points are only fifty meters apart, and the opera tions there recall the fighting at Sebas- topol
 An official statement issued by the war office declares that the Germans have succeeded in driving the allied forces across the Yser all along the line. The Yser has been cleared Of French and British entirely to the North sea. it is asserted
 ''South of Dixmude favorable prog ress is being made" the statement con hnues. Seven hundred prisoners and eight guns have been captured. East of Ypres counter attacks have been successfully repulsed.'
 Dixmude has been taken and 800 prisoners and nine machine guns cap tured. it is declared. Two thousand prisoners and six guns were captured In an assault upon the allied position near Langemarck. Additional prison CTS and guns were taken in the vicin ity of La Bassee.
 The German army operating between Newport and Lys in the face of Franco Belgian force has succeeded in capturing the town of Dixmude. the point of the most westerly of the kai sers drives for the French coast cities. says the Paris war office. On the other hand. the allies have reoccupied Lom Daertzyde, to the northeast of Nieuport

Lord Roberts died as he probably would have wished. close to the trenches. where his fighting men of India were engaged with the enemy The cold. wet weather hanging over flooded Flanders brought about his death, for at his age he was unable to stand the rigors of the climate and contracted pneumonia.
 The explanation of the field mar shafs visit to France was accepted as plausible because Lord Roberts was born in Cawnpore, India. eighty two years ago and was worshiped by the native troops.

FALLS VILLAGE
EDWIN H. WILCOX.

The community was shocked Monday morning to learn of the sudden death of MT. Edwin H. Wilcox, which oc- cured at 2:30 that morning. The cause of his death was angina pectoris, and although he had been troubled with heart affection for few years past there was not the slightest indication that his end was near.
 He attended the Methodist church and sang in the choir as usual Sunday, and was apparently in his usual health and spirits late in the evening, when, after eating hearty supper he visited with his family, (his daughter, Mrs. Olive W. Abbe and children, with whom he made his home, and chatted with neighbors who came in for a call.
 At about 9 o'clock in the morning Mrs. Abbe heard him moaning, and entered his room to ascertain if he was unwell. He complained of recur- renee of pain in the region of his heart, and was immediately taken with a convulsion. Dr. Skiff was immediately sent for, and arrived within a short time, but the patient died before he arrived.
 MT. Wilcox was a native of the town of Canaan, and lived his whole life there. He was born in Huntsville 61 years ago, received his education in the public schools and learned the black smith trade, which he carried on up to the time of his death.
 About 22 years ago he moved to Falls Village and was one of the most highly esteemed citizens of this community. It has often been said of him that he had not single enemy in the world. He was everybody's friend, and every body loved him. He was an active and consistent member of the Methodist church and thoroughly devoted to it's interests.
 He leaves three daughters-Mrs. Olive W. Abbe, of Falls Village; Mrs. M. H. Pinney, of Monroe Bridge, Mass, and Mrs. R. H, Beeman, of Jersey City, also one brother, George Wilcox, of Canaan, and four sisters Mrs. William Callender, Torrington; Mrs. Harriet Decker, Winsted; Mrs. Emma Cook, New Haven, and Mrs. Lucy Bradley, of Lime Rock.
 The funeral was held yesterday after noon, at 2:30 o'clock, from the Metho- dist church. Interment in Grassy Hill Cemetery.

TWO MEN. SAME NAME
RUN FOR SANE OFFICE

ST. PAUL. March Whats in a
name? There are two men in st.
Paul who have been attempting for
the past two months to figure out just
what there is in their names. They
both bear exactly the same names
down to the very last letter and to
the pronunciation. Their name Is Au-
gust Hohenstein. One Is a grocer and
the other is agent for life insurance
company Both are old residents OF
st. Paul and both are today in the
running for the city council. Meth
er is willing to withdraw in favor of
his namesake.
Under the state law the names that
appear on ballots cannot have any
designating mark. For instance, Au-
gust Hohenstein the grocer could
not have NO. 1" placed after his
name to set him apart from the life
insurance agent of the same name.
Compromises law suits. settlements
and grand jury indictments are
threatened by both Hohensteins to
force each other to withdraw but
neither will give in and the prospects
are that both names will go on the
ballot. The attorneys who are trying
to adjust the matter are on the verge
of Mysteries They don't even know
how they'll tell which one is elected.

Law and Order League Of City Will
Have Opportunity to Present
Evidence of LawIessness.
MEMBERS REMAINING SILENT
Nothing is Known About What Ac-
ton May be Taken. Though Bulgin
Charged He Had Evidence 70 Prove
His Charges-Detectives Reported
to Have Been Hired by League.

The law and order league, organ
ized this week through the efforts OF
Evangelist E. J. Bulgin for the pur-
pose of cleaning up the city, will
have an opportunity of presenting
their evidence to a grand jury next
week. Circuit Judge Phelps stating
this afternoon that he would issue a
call to the jurymen to convene Tues
day.
In making the CALL he declares there
is nothing unusual in il inasmuch as
when he dismissed the jury it was only
temporarily and was caused by illness
in the family of one of the jurors. The
jury thus ended its January term
without cleaning up all of the cases
on hand and without examining the
county poor farm and the county Of
fices. There now being a half dozen
cases to be presented for the consid-
Grafton of the jury and. inasmuch as
he is required to be in Heppner with
in two weeks, Judge Phelps believes
the coming week is the opportune
time for the adjourned session.
"At the same time" he said this af-
ternoon. 'if anyone has any evidence
to present tending to show that the
laws are being violated here in Pen
dleton, they will have full opportunity
to do so.''
AS to what action they will take,
members of the law and order league
are still silent. At the opening of the
campaign Evangelist Bulgin declared
he had evidence to prove that gambl-
ing. prostitution and bootlegging were
being practiced here under police
protection and he read the names Of a
number of men whom he would sum-
mon before the grand jury.
| Since that time the league has held
several meetings and appointed a COM
mittee to carry on the campaign. II
is said that special attorney has been
| hired and that detectives have been
retained to secure evidence. During
the past two days it is reported that
several detectives have been on the
| job. At least the saloonmen are acting
upon that assumption and are eyeing
every stranger with suspicion. One
saloon proprietor yesterday elected
| two strangers from his barroom be-
cause he suspected they were detec-
tives. They called for drink and he
promptly ordered them outside, add :
ing that unless they went forthwith
he would use his boot. II may have
made mistake" he said. "but I
haven't any use for detectives and am
not taking any chances on having
| them hanging around. -

ONG OLD TIMERS.

Back in Pendleton after 80 years,
Rev. George w. Kennedy, who in the
early eighties was the only minister
of the gospel in Umatilla county
save a Catholic missionary among the
Indians, is renewing old acquaintances
with pioneers and incidentally taking
orders for book which he has writ
ten. entitled "The Pioneer Camp
fire" in which there are several chap
tiers devoted to Pendleton and sur
rounding country.
Rev. Kennedy is well remembered
here by the old timers. He came in
1850 and built with his own hands
the first parsonage in this city. Only
half of his time was given to the city
for he required to travel all over the
county. For instance. he held ser.
Meadows. at three school houses or
Birch creek and at one on Camas
Prairie. He tells story of visi,

if he were the Kennedy of "Kennedy's
Sheep-dip." NO. he says he ans
werei, 81 do not dip my sheep,
sprinkle them and gave a demon
stration on the following Sunday wher
several persons came forward for
baptism.
In his book Rev. Kennedy speaks OF
many of the pioneer families of the
city. He mentions particularly Lot
Livermore and r. Alexander and al
so pays tribute to "the Gilliams. the
Jordans. the Pecks, the Bensons, the
Raleys, the Kauffmans. the Robbins
DR.. Pruett, the Lees and the De-
spains.''
One of the particularly enjoyable
visits he has had while here was
with Judge tom" Fitz Gerald with
whom he went to school as a boy at
Belpassi near the present city OF
Woodburn, Ore. They had not met
for many years and the minister lid
not recognize the judge at first. Rev
Kennedy will remain here until Mon
