Austrians and Montenegrins Clash.
(By Associated PreSS.)

(By Associated PreSS.)
After a long period of inactivity,
fighting between the Austrian and
Montenegrin soldiers has been re-
sumed. The Austrian fleet has bonn
barded the port of Antiavri and two
Austrian aeroplanes attacked with
machine guns the palace in which were
King Nicholas and other members of
the Montenegrin royal family.
Little is known of the great strug-
gle in the East. The decisive battle
in North Poland is expected when the
retreating Russians reach the posi-
tions where they decide they must
make their stand.
The German official report says that
the Germans are pursuing the retreat
ing Russians.
The long struggle in the Carpathians
shows no signs of ending. Both sides
are claiming the advantage.
A Rome newspaper states that the
German ambassador to Italy shortly
will make proposals for Italy's inter
vention in the war on Germans side
in return for territorial concessions.

CLorURE RULE NEEDED.

The nlibuster in the Senate is an al.
gether unseemly and Improbable per
formance, the more so because it is
a repetition of what occurs with al
most biennial regularity in the Upper
House Of Congress.
Whenever Congress is nearing les
end and there is some measure pend
ing on which party lines are closely
drawn. the Hlibuster recurs with all OF
its Objectionable and farcical features,
much to the annoyance of the countrH
to the detriment of the nations bust
ness and to the degradation Of that
senatorial dignity which it is so often
averred must be preserved.
The Senate should have a cloture
rule. one that is permanent and may
be applied whenever it is necessary to
bring a bill to an issue. 1t is an alb
surd paradox that the Senate is so
exalted and dignified body that it
must preserve the right of unlimited
debate, and then exercise that right in
ridiculous performances with no pur'
pose but obstruction to the known
| will of the majority

FOR REAL SANITATION.

Editor Daily News.
We read with great deal of inter-
est your editorial Thursday in refer
ence to the "cleanest city, contest.
Those of us who are giving our time to
sanitary work very much appreciate
the support you are giving to this
important business, which leads to the
elimination of several of our most
fatal diseases.
We have often wondered at the shall
low conception of sanitation and clean.
liness that is held by people, especial.
iy those who live in the cities of our
State. Removing tin cans or barrels
of scrap paper from the alleys, and
cutting the weeds make town look
clean, and has great merit as far as it
goes, but 1t reminds one too much Of
keeping only a clean front yard for
people to look at as they pass, and
having no questions asked about the
back yard.
Back yard sanitation is the most i'm
portant part of city to look into, and
in city the size of Hattiesburg there
is one spot in this locality at every
home. not connected with sewerage,
that needs sober thought and atten'
tion. But false modesty often steps in

those who would love to see clean

of the gardens in city that can be
contaminated from this source every
time at rains. Places in Hattiesburg
can be pointed out where not only one,
but two of these inconveniences dis
charge their filth through the garden
every time it rains, and these gardens
often slope in the right direction to be
polluted thoroughly. What about let
tuce, onions, strawberries, and other
eatables in such garden? What
about the flies that travel back and
forth to these points and to all the din
ing rooms and kitchens to which they
can force an entrance? What about
the malodorous odors that perfume
the spring zephyrs that otherwise
would lull us to repose?
The back yard is the place, Mr.. Edi-
