dates. hut as n settlement to con
tribute the money to create in other
parts Of the state majoritics to over.

This being the case, the Republican
leaders set out to spend as much as
they thought wise for their own pur.
poses. The total came to S63,OO0.0OO

appropriated. the revenues from in

The Fight for Hill Sixty.

As bearing upon the value Of the
capture of I'LL 60. south Of Ypres
by the British and their success In
holding 1t against assaults by the
Germans, an extract from BERN
HARDI's War of To-day" Is illumi-
mating. lie says in his chapter upon
the fortified position:
I'VE must above all. avoid attacking
the enemy's whole front and making
the combat a mere frontal struggle Of
all the forces. That would positively be
doing the enemy's business. We should
rather seek to use the full force OF the
attack In a direction where We think
we can gain decisive advantages: there
fore either against a point the posses
sion OF which will entail the capture Of
the whole position, like the Green Hi
at Plevna, or against one flank by en-
veloping 1t. thus enabling us to threaten
the enemy's limo Of retreat and to turn
the intrenched position"
Hill 60 promises to become as IA
nous as the Green Hill ut Plevna. he
cause ability to hold 80 threatens the
German intrenchments for miles on
either side. If they are rendered I'M
| tenable by concentrated artillery fire
and concerted attack by strong in.
fantry reserves the gap made in the
German line would permit of en-
veloping movements of troops on either
/ side of ii. I'VE hold the entire crest
of the hill" says General FRENCH
In his latest semi-weekly report. and

has attached great importance to It,"
Naturally, for Hill 80 stands high
/ above the plain and is an observation
| point as well as position that can
be strongly fortified.
The last Is not heard of the hill
near Ypres, although the German as.
! saults upon it have failed and for the
present the British seem 10 he left in
undisturbed possession. Movements
of large bodies Of troops by rail from
German territory through Belgium
are reported. Appar ently an attack
in great force upon the British posi-
ton Is being planned. Both sides
will need an enormous amount Of ar.
tillery ammunition, and the fight for

WASHINGTON SURPRISED

wAsHrNaroN. Arrl 20 president
Wilson decided to-day that the Atlantic
fleet shall he sent through the Panama
Canal on July T.
This positive decision. announced In
unqualified terms by Secretary OF TIE
Navy Daniels. caused much surprise In
Washington. II was contrary 10 the
growing expectation throughout the en-
tire naval service and elsewhere In
Washington that announcement would
soon be made OF another postponement
Of the proposed passage Of the fleet
through TIE Isthmian waterway.
The postponement to July from the
original date set last March. was ofh-
cially attributed to the slides in Cuebra
Cut, though It was generally under
stood that the international situation
was quite as much responsible for the
decision as conditions in Culebra Cut
Conditions in Culebra Cut now are
not materially different from what they
were last February. nor has the inter-
national situation particularly i'm
proved. The Presidents decision. there
fore. has not only caused considerable
surprise hut also much perplexity as to
the reasons for IT,
