NOW THIRTY MILES:
FROM RIVER RHINE
CLAIM TO HAVE AGAIN INVADED
HUNGARY IN FORCE-TURKISH-
RUSSIAN FIGHT IMPORTANT

London, Jan. 5.-The right wing OF
the French army is today less than
thirty miles from the River Rhiner,
holding the Alsatian village of Stein
bach and the heights southeast of the
village, after one of the most stub
born localized fights. No other point
western front shows noteworthy
change and the news dwells chiefly on
the bad weather.
Further Russian successed in their
operations against the Australians are
described unofficially from Petrograds
saying the Russians are reported re-
Gently to have penetrated the passes
of the Carpathians and begun an in
vasion Of Hungary in force. They
have captured eight Hungarian townEs
and surrounded several divisions of
Austrian troops in mountains. The
latest official announcement from
Vienna, however, asserts the Aus
trian forces in Galicia have catupred
strong positions and are preparing
further operations.
Although it is admitted in Petro-
grad that the Germans have occupied
positions at Bolimow, on the battle
front before Warsaw, the Russian war
office states the invaders later were
driven out abandoning six machine
guns. Seemingly, therefore, there iss
little change in the positions.
The situation in Caucasus, where
the Turks are d,ing hard fighting
with the Russians is becoming OF first
importance; though there are no indi-
cations that Russia is moving troops
from the western to the southern from
tier.
Further particulars concerning the
eastern campaign from Berlin states
the advance from Boimow, in the d.
rection of Warsaw, is being continued
although Petrograd claims the Ger
mans were compelled to aoandon it's
Bolimow positions.
The war spirit in Italy was revived
by the death on a French battlefield
of grandson of Gariba1d. Italy is
to have about 100000 men under
arms by the end of this month and a.
reserve of another million is being
formed Secret committees are being
formed for the enlistment Of vclun~-
teers.

ALLIES TO AWAIT
KITCHENER'S ARMY
LONDON MILITARY MEN EX-
PECT NO GENERAL OFFENSIVE
UNTIL SPRING

London, Dec. 31.-Military critics
are beginning to doubt whether any
determined effort to turn the Germans
out of France and Belgium will be
made before spring.
Recently many observers jumped
to the conclusion, because of isolated
thrusts by General Joffre, that the
French and their allies were begin
ming a grand forward movement. The
best informed students in London re.
jected this view. They held that the
activity in the west is merely to re-
mind the Germans that immediate
advantage would be taken Of any
heavy withdrawal Of their troops to
the east.
Foe Well Entrenched
In competent quarters the fact ap-
pears to be accepted that the German
position in France and Belgium is too
strong to yield to frontal attack,
however dogged. The Germans them
selves are regarded as having taught
this lesson by their fruitless sacrifice
in the movement toward Calais.
The allies policy is to hold great
German forces in the west while the
Russians develop their campaign and
while Lord Kitchener trains and aug
ments his large army.
Warships May Be Used
With the advent of spring this
army will take the field and even then
a frontal attack is not likely to be a
characteristic feature Of the allies
plan. A frontal attack there will be
coincidental with turning movement
along the Belgian coast, made pussi-
BILE by the cooperation Of British
warships.

County Field Day

County Field nay is new feature
with tho schools of Putnam County.
About the 18th Of April the following
schools will come to CoOkeviile to
participate in series of literary and
athletic events together with the local
schools; Monterey High, Algood High,
and Baxter Seminary.
The movement is meeting with
hearty response throughout the county
and we anticipate large attendance
and keen interest in the Forthcoming
contests. The present plans are to
hold the exercises at the County High
S hool. The visitors and local schools
will serve dinner on the grounds and
spend the day there.
1t is expected that each school will
bring large majority if its student
body and big assortment Of school
yells, pennants etc. One of the chief
objects of the meet it will be observed
is to create school enthusiasm, friendly
rivalry, and a better acquaintance be-
tween, the schools. The forenoon OF
the day will be devoted to literary con-
tests, the afternoon to athletic con-
tests.
The idea of County Fled Day was
originated by the Supt. of Education
Of Calhoun county, South Carolina in
1910. The same year county in Ala
bama held field meet, The field
day idea met with success from the
outset. The movement is only five
years old vet most Of the progressive
counties throughout the South have
given field day place on their school
calendar.
Field day is community movement
which has for its object the creation
OF friendly interest and rivalry be-
tween the schools and the establish
ment Of wholesome patriotic school
spirit throughout the county 1t Is in
short an assembling of the school
forces Of the county for mutual help
fulness. We earnestly solicit the co
operation Of all the school forces OF
the county In making this our first
field day a success.

RESOLUTIONS

\ Whereas our dear Heavenly Father
saw fit in his divine wisdom to remove
from her home, her loved ones, and
her church, to that home above, our
sister, Mrs. Willie Conditt High, on
March II, 1915, we, the members Of
the Woman's Missionary Society Of
the Methodist Church at Cookeville,
hereby
Resolve: /. That we very keenly
feel our loss. The removal Of such a
noble Christian character leaves va
cancy that can never be filled and a
great loss not only to our church but
to all who knew her.
2. That the loving, faithful atten-
dance and service which she rendered
the Sunday School, Missionary So
ciety and church be held in grateful
remembrance. Her sojourn in this
world of needed Christian laborers
was so short just thirty years, yet a
life of such conservation and Christ
ian loyalty as Mrs. Highs was, was in
deed, very uplifting. May her life and
work be an inspiration to, us for great
er service.
5. That the family loses sweet,
devoted, affectionate mother and low
ing companion, one who was always
cheerful, sunny and optimistic in her
home. And even in her feeble health,
while she was deprived of attending
church or being active as she once had
been her patience in affliction and her
faith in Jesus never, wavered, so that
the eventide of her life was serene
and undisturbed. How we shall miss
her But We submissively bow to the
will of our Father in Heaven, knowing
that He does all things we'll
A. That we extend to the bereaved
family and to her dear sister, our love.
our sympathy andour prayers. and com
mend them to Him, an unwavering
faith and trust in whom will make all
things right.
5. That a copy Of these resolutions
be put upon our Society's book and a
copy be sent to the Herald, and the
Midland Methodist.
