SCHOOL DIRECTORS IN NORTON COUNTY
Charges Failure Observe States Flag Law While ZIG
Children are Said to be Absent From Schools
in Violation of Statutes.

school system of any county in the
state" says States Attorney LANCER.
Farmers generally give the excuse
that children are needed at home for
assistance with threshing. There is
hardly farmer in the county who
give for more than two days at the
most.
"Threshing assistance is no excuse
in 80 per cent of the delinquent cases.
I fail to see where girl or boy Of
or 10 years can help. Each child
has a God-given right to education"
said the prosecutor. II know for a
fact that there are not q few, but
hundreds of children in the county
and there are many who have never
been inside a school house.
In my investigation, found that
some school directors. living less than
mile from schools, are themselves
keeping the children out. The equip
ment Of the schools in the rural dis
tricts is splendid, but the general lax
ity and failure to compel attendance
is the cause of this action
Doesn't Expect Trouble.
The states attorney is not looking

He believes failure to have done so
before was because Of ignorance of

However in the case of the action
of parents in not sending children to
school he expects to make wholesale
arrests. He assert that he has the

FRENCH THROWN
BACK BY BULCAR
Army IN serbia
Situation as Described by
Advices Today is Quite
Critical.

Saloniki, Greece, Nov. 16.-After
heavy fighting with reinforced Bull
garian troops in southern Serbia, the
French have been compelled, to re-
tire at two points in the vicinity of
Gradisco, twelve miles north of the
Greke border.
The Bulgarian attack along the
Cerna river was repulsed with heavy
losses to the attackers. The battle on
the Cerna was waged along the left
bank of the river Two or three Bull
garian divisions were engaged in q
desperate attempt to pierce the
French center. The engagement was
in progress with furious intensity for
SO hours, after which the Bulgarians
were beaten back along the entire
front.
The situation in Macedonia is de-
veloping rapidly, large reinforcemente
have been brought In by the 'Bulgar-
ians, who, are ma king ~ren9wed efforts
to force Babuna pass. The serbians
still are holding out there, but this
movement threatens Perlepe and
Monster. Many inhabitants OF Mon
aster are departing, and numbers OF
the diplomatic corps have changed
plans and now intend to proceed to
Scutari, Albania, instead of Monaster.
