Attack Northeast of Ypres
and Fight Violently With
Opposing Canadian and
British Troops.
KAISER GOES TO FRONT
French Make Progress on
Right Bank of User Canal
and Repulse Teuton In
vaders.

LONDON. April 26.-Only three
miles from Ypres, according to the of.
ficlal claims made in Berlin, the Ger.
man troops are continuing tremend.
GUS attacks on the Allied forces. BY
capturing the village Of ST. Julien and
a little strip Of woodland between Pill
kettle and St. Julien, they have
Strengthened out their front between
the two towns. Here they are op-
posed by the British troops, who have
apparently withstood the first fury of
the German attacks, the Canadian
troops having inflicted severe losses
upon the Kaiser's soldiers.
Continue Attacks.
Repulse of two German attacks by
British troops, northeast Of Ypres, is
announced in today's official report
from the Paris war office. The Ger.
mans were debauching from Paschem-
daele and Brodseuide when they came
into collision with the English forces.
The Germans have renewed their bom-
bardment of Ypres which has been al
most completely destroyed by previous
sheAl fire. The French troops have
made progress on the right bank Of
the Ypres canal and have also re-
pulsed the German at Motre Damede
Lorette. Paschemdaele is more than
eight miles northeast Of Ypres. This
town and others along the battle front
to the French frontier are
held by the left wing of the German
army in Flanders.
A Rotterdam dispatch states that
the great German offensive at Ypres
is being directed by Field Marshal Won
transferred by order of
Emperor William from the eastern
theatre. Military experts are inclined
to doubt this report, although it is
that German troops have
been transferred to Belgium from the
eastern fronts in Poland and East
Prussia.
Emperor William is rushing to the
Flanders front on his special train to
direct the operations against the AL
lies at Ypres and along the User front,
according to advices received at Am
sterdam from Berlin. These unoffi-
cial reports state that the Kaiser was
at Crakow when the new Flanders bat
tie opened and that he Immediately
fastened to Berlin. where he stayed
only few hours before continuing his
Journey to Belgium.

sentenced to thirty days in Jail and
given fine of $40 in circuit court to.

der after taking the case under con.
sideration.
Stinson was said to be the evil influ-
ence for his brother and other young
boys living east and southeast of
Richmond and Judge Fox will arrange
to have him put under special care
when he is released from Jail. A posi-

neighbor boy recently broke into a
school house at Elliott's Mills and res
idences in that vicinity and stole some
cash and supplies. The younger boys

ROOSEVELT RECOGNIZED
7. PLATT AS BOSS" OF
POLITICS IN new YORK

SYRACUSE, N Y, April 26-Re.
freshed and reinforced by their week.
end rest, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
and William M. WINS, William Barnes
chief counsel, faced each other again
today in round five of their amazing
duel of wits. The Barnes Roosevelt
$4,000 libel suit entered it's second
week today, and the end was not in
sight.
That he recognized the late Senator
Thomas c. Platt as the boss, and con-
suited him as such about appointments
was today admitted by Colonel Roose-
welt.
The musty letter files of the late
senator, brought into court by William
WINS, told the story of Roosevelt's con-
sultations with Platt about appoint
ments, and cross-examination of the
colonel corroborated the letters. From
the time he was nominated for COVER
nor in 1898 Roosevelt had many meet
ings with Platt, some of his own solic-
itation. Not only did he admit the
but he recognized him
as the boss.
Recognized Boss.
"You asked for an appointment with
Senator Platt?" Roosevelt was asked.
Il did"
What for?"
"I wanted to consult him." was the
reply.
LAS the boss?" asked Ivins.
"As boss" replied Roosevelt "As
the recognized head of the organiza-
ton"
Throughout the mornings drilling
the colonel was very pettish and an.
swered sometimes sullenly.
Roosevelt denied that his consulta.
tions regarding appointments consti
tuted invisible government, and said

Second National Gets Special
Function Allowed by Fed
eral Reserve Board Upon
Firms Application.
PERMITS COMPETITION
Power While Giving Little
Additional Profit Enables
Concern to Meet Emergen-
cies Which Arise.

Granting an application filed some
time ago, the Federal Reserve Board
has conferred power upon the Second
National Bank of Richmond to act as
trustees, executors and administra
tors of estates under the laws of the
new currency act. The ruling goes
into effect Immediately.
A. D. Gayle, president of the First
National bank, said today that his
bank would proba bly, be granted it's re.
quest this week. The Union National
bank has not filed application.
The local bank officials we're noti.
fled that their request was allowed
through letter from the district dep
uty Federal Reserve agent, w. T. Nc
Lallen of Chicago.
The letter follows:
81 have the honor to inform you that
the Federal Reserve Board has acted
favorably upon your application for
permission to act as trustees, execu-
tor, administrator. registrar of stocks
and bonds, and this will be your form
al advice to that effect
~ >s~~ Local Banks Appiy. ,.y
The Richmond bank and two ma
tional banks at Evansville are the only
members of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn in Indiana who up until this time
have had applications granted by the
Board. It is presumed that nearly
every national bank in the country
will seek this power.
Under all former congressional
banking acts, the national banks have
been prohibited from competing with
trust companies in the matter of serv-
ing as administrators or guardians of
estates and the laws limited and re-
stricted their movements in legal bus
mess of this kind.
The Second National bank under the
ruling of the Federal Reserve Board
now enjoys full rights to enter compe-
tition with the trust companies.
The local officials say that admins
trative duties in the care of an es-
tate are not financially profitable to
national banks, in many instances, and
that the Second National bank will
not become active Immediately to take
advantage of their power. They ap-
preclate. however, the opportunity af-
forded to meet any contingency or
which might arise

ments. The grounds are well policec
and managed with minimum OF dis
turbance and confusion. The system OF
directing the incomers is admirable, the
automobiles being shunted off to their
particular sections and being arranged
so that it is possible for autoists to
leave the grounds without being tangled
in maze Of about 1000 motor vehicles.
Furthermore, the highway between
White River Junction and the fair
grounds is so well policed that there is
little chance for confusion or accident
there, the vehicles being made to keep
to the right. In short, the directors of
the fair are gaining valuable knowledge
from year to year on the best methods
of handling such great crowds and,
thereby, they are adding to the comforts
and convenience Of the fair-goers. The
state fair at White River junction is
already the magnet for people over

mont, because OF IN prestige as WELL

CURRENT COMMENT
Handling and Eating.

New York is putting its official ma
chainery TO a mighty task in the endeavor
to impose the health.board test on the
100000 persons who prepare or serve
food in the city's $500 restaurants and
hotels. Not all the members of this vast
army of public servants viii come out
of the medical examinations duly certi-
icated as innocuous, and TO that extent
New York viii benefit from the elimina-
ton OF at least one source of infectious
disease. But the general problem OF
cleanliness in refreshment houses will
remain unsolved until proprietors or
customers take il up for themselves.
Thus far the movement for covering food
exposed for sale has made considerable
Roadway, and there is good hope OF its
extension, 20 the further discontinue Of
the germ-earrying fly. All the while the
human hand maintains its place in the
scheme OF influences which complicate
dietetics and discourage appetite. The
food which spans the void between pro-
Queer and consumer without getting An
Pered is a rare article of commerce. Some
of IL must be handled. The farmer
handles his vegetables. the butcher his
meat; there il handling in the grocery
store wherever bread is not veiled from
sight and biscuits are not boxed. The
desideratum is clean handling. and the
need for IL Is especially manifest in
kitchens where the purchased food is
prepared for consumption; yet kitchens
