army Of Turkey is driven from the

This conclusion. is. certainly not
overdrawnand the conditions attic

PRESIDENT VISITS THE LODGE
Richland Rebekahs Entertain Execu-
tive Head of Washington Domain

Mrs. Fannie Ankrom, of Cheney,
president Of the Rebekah Assembly
OF Washington, was guest of Free
dom Rebekah Lodge, No. 235, last
Thursday evening, and gave a most
instructive talk on important ques-
tons as well as thoroughly outlining
the work being carried on in the Odd
Fellows home for children in Walla
Walla.
She especially dwelt on the fact
tnat at this home, unlike many others
OF its kind, the individuality of the
child is retained as much as possible,
both by dressing the children in a
manner suiting each child and not a
UNIFORM, and by trying to bring out
Individual talent and ability.
len guests from the Kennewick Re-
Dekah lodge were in attendance, and
al sat down to fine banquet at the
close OF the talk, which was tastefully
served by the local ladies.

HIGHLAND COUNCIL
TALKS WATER WORKS
LACK OF ADEQUATE FIRE PRO-
lection LEADS TO PLANS
FOR MUNICIPAL SYSTEM

The regular monthly meeting Of the
p;cbland city council was held last
Monday night, all members being
rresent with the exception of Council
man ]. H. Brennemann.
The matter was taken up of widen
mo the street on the east line OF the
Ethel Lewis property, the street there
hing now only 20 feet wide, the re-
naming 20 feet never being taken
ovar by the city. Communications
wore read from the owner of the pro-
perty living in Tacoma and the prob
utilities are that negotiations will fl
nally end in manner that will give
the city the required full street width
/ little later in the year.
Councilman Max Hopp reported
verbally on an inspection of the chem
;cal fire engine in Kennewick for sale
and after general discussion it was
voted that the matter be not consider
ed favorable to the purchase of same.
Il seems that there has been con-
siderable discussion among the city
authorities since the last meeting
about fire protection with the opinion
veerinp toward the favorable consid-
Grafton of a municipality owned water
system. There was talk of a well be-
inc dug or driven in the city park
with pumps to force to a stand-pipe
on the highest point of ground in the
CITY and from there to be distributed
in mains throughout the city. No def
mite action was taken other than that
the council as a committee Of the
whole were to investigate as much as
possible during the following month
before the next meeting and try to get
some idea of the probable cost. AS
Mr.. Hopp was expecting to make a
business trip to Tacoma soon he was
specially requested to find out as much
as he could about the subject.
The mayor was empowered to hire
teams and men sufficient to fill up nu-
merous low spots in the streets of the
city with gravel, inasmuch as just
now gravel could be had at more
than usually low figure.
The matter of enforcing the dog tax
ordnance was brought up. AS the ap-
pcintee Of the marshal's Office refused
to serve, that Office was still vacant,
and as it depended in measure
wholly with him to enforce such or
dinance it was thought best to offer
salary Of $25 for one month as an
incentive for some one to accept the
Office Of city marshal. AS a further
remuneration for his services he is to
receive one-half of the fines should
any be collected.
The dog license is $1.00 for males
and $500 for females, same being in
effect for one year.

NlCCOr f1uOSOu mas dCCcptSu al up
pointment of the Office of city marshal
with a salary for one month of $500.
Mr.. Hudson is under special instruc-
ton from the city council to enforce
the dog tax ordinance which being.
done will increase the city treasury to
a reasonable extent and will further
clear the streets of a lot Of undesir-
able ours which have got to be nuis-
ance lately. By the terms of the or
dlinance little hustling on the part
of the marshal will increase his regu-
lar salary to quite some sum.
The business of J. M. Serr's restau-
rant is such that more room was
needed, which has been supplied by
the owner of the building making
alterations that give the needed added
room in the back of the dining room
for cooking, etc. Mr.. Serr's friends
were inclined to be a bit skeptical of
his success in a restaurant here when
he started on account Of the limited
patronage supposed to be here for an
enterprise of this kind, but he has
proven that their fears were ground
less, and with the spring work open
ing up soon with the Irrigation Co.,
and the new drainage ditch, and the
ranch work generally his business
looks towards its being a going pro-
position.

GERMANS DELIVER
 ARABIC NOTE Kaiser's Government Regrets Loss
 init to The Hague.

BERLIN, Sept. 9.-The German Foreign office today delivered to Am basasdor Gerald, representing the United States, the formal note re- garding the sinking of the Arabic. The contents of the note had been made public several days ago in or der that the action of the govern ment might not bring on storm of public indignation from the strong naval party now in possession of most branches of the government.
 The note in answer to the protest of the American government again asserts that Germany is acting only in self defense, and that Great Bri- tain has tried and is still trying to make war upon the civilian and non- combatant population of Germany by preventing the importation of food supplies, which the government has agreed to guarantee not to use by the military authorities.
 The submarine warfare, started in retaliation is justifiable according to the Foreign office, but rather than lose the friendship of the American people and the American government the German imperial government of- fers to submit the matters in dispute to The Hague for settlement.

ward more reserves and reinforced the line of defenders as a result of which the attacks by the Germans have failed.
 Reports from Petrograd, however, show that Gen. Hindenberg, com manding the center of the German Austrian line, has met with success and has again forced the Slavs to retreat. The retreat is orderly and the rear guard actions result in very heavy losses to the enemy.
 For to the south the Russians have won a decided and important victory and both wings of the Czar's army is holding so that Hindenberg dare not advance far with his center.
 Military experts in this city are confident that the Russians have fin ally stiffened, and can be expected to hold the German army along the present line.

 Field Marshal Lyman von Sanders has been one of the leading figures in the reorganization of the Turkish military system brought about in re- cent years under German tutelage.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Germans succeeded in sending a number of Zeppelins to this city last night and bombs were dropped in the very heart of London, killing twenty men and women and injuring ninety oth- CTS, besides doing much property damage.
 The raid was a success from Ger man military standpoint. The mili- tary authorities had taken every precaution to meet the Zeppelins, as reports from Holland reached this city that the Zeppelins had passed over the Netherlands, headed for the English coast.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Gustav Stahl, the German American who swore to the fact that the Lusitania was armed and that he had seen the guns on the boat few minutes prior to the sailing of the ship, was given q sentence of eighteen months for perjury, it having been proven that he was not on the ship and knew nothing of the facts, besides which the customs officials proved conclu- sively that the boat had been in spected and that no guns were found.
 The affidavit was filed by the Ger man ambassador with the State de- pertinent as the justification for the sinking of the liner.
