later. This question was put to at
torneys present, who stated that such
was their understanding, although the
matter had not been looked up. One
of them was requested to do so. The
meeting then adjourned and the COM
mittee selected to call a public meeting
decided upon Tuesday night, as Satur-
day night would prevent many busi-
ness men from attending and Monday
night the hall was engaged
Saturday about 3 o'clock word was
phoned or hurridly passed by mouth
calling meeting for four o'clock, as
it had been found the time limit ex-
pired that day for the filing of ticket
by petition. Village Clerk Crowley
was seen and agreed to hold his Of
flee open until ticket was agreed up
on, or to open his office and receive a
ticket for filing up to midnight. A
Few minutes after four the meeting be-
gan and the matter of deciding between
Lang and Hall was under discussion
when 1t was learned that the south
side people had filed a ticket contain
ing the names of ]. P. Mehlhaff, II. C.
Allen, w. w. White, A. H. Barton and
o. C. Hall.
The filing Of this new ticket changed
plans. There was doubt as to whether
Mr.. Mehlhaff's name could be on two
tickets and C. c. Thornhill was tele-
phoned and consented to accept place
on ticket for trustee Mr.. Meadows
was chosen and a ticket composed of
Lang. Wones, Davie, Meadows and
Thornhill was filed. About seven
O'Clock Mr.. Thornhill came to the
home of Village Clerk Crowley and
filed a withdrawal from the ticket,
stating that he understood when he
agreed to run that there was to be but
one ticket. Another meeting was call
ed. From that meeting a committee
was sent to call on w. w. White to
learn II he would be willing to with
draw and leave but four names on
each ticket, but this suggestion did
not meet with his approval At this
meeting an opinion was received to
the effect that there was no legal bar
against naming Mr. Mehlhaff and he
was nominated in place of Mr.. Thorn
hill.
Monday afternoon, Mr.. Meadows, for
whom the situation was developing
unpleasantly, filed his resignation
from the Peoples ticket and Mr.. Mehl-
haff also filed his declination of the
nomination on the Peoples ticket.
Tuesday Mr.. Meadows withdrew his
declination and filed an acceptance,
so the ticket now stands:

was to serve good substantial meal
at a minimum cost. Considerable time
is devoted TO making pastry, cookies

are not taught to cook the more essen

TITANIC COMBAT IN EAST
Battle Raging in Carpathian Noun
tains Greatest Yet Seen In Eu-
ropean War.

Petrograd.-The battle now proceed.
ing in the Carpathians is the most tre-
mendous struggle that the var has yet
produced. 1t is computed that the
forces Of concentration on this por-
ton Of the frontier is still proceeding.
1t is impossible to say when it will
stop. All the other sectors of the line
have become absolutely subordinate
to the s%tupendous fight for the ridge
separating Galicia from Hungary.
Any show of aggression made by
the enemy elsewhere is probably with
the sole object of the detention Of
Russian troops that might be thrown
into the scales In the Carpathians. 1t
seems certain that the issue of this
battle will have great influence on the
future curse Of the campaign.
The adoption of the offensive by the
allies on the west front Is lending
Russia material support, as 1t pre-
vents the Germans from drawing re-
endorsements from that quarter. Rus
STA by accepting battle on SO large a
scale at the present moment, when a
general ac~quiescence was anticipated
on this front, is tightening the imme-
date task of Great Britain and France.
1t is likely that the Germans, by
transfer Of their troops to Hungary,
hope by a violent blow temporarily to
exhaust the strength of Russia and so
leave themselves free to turn their
attention to Belgium and France with
redoubled energy. 1t is believed that
Germany has absorbed all her STRAIT
egic reserves and can reinforce one
front only at the expense of the other.

CABINET PASSES QUESTION
House Of Commons Viii Decide Pro-
hibition on Non-Party Lines-CoI-
onies Given Voice in Terms,

London.-The British cabinet will
take no action to prohibit the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors, but will throw
the whole matter into the House of
Commons to be decided on a non.
party issue. Canada and other self
governing colonies will have a voice
in the discussion OF peace terms when
the time for that discussion arrives.
These we're the two most important
developments of a short session of the
House Of Commons upon the reassem-
bling of Parliament. 1t is understood
the cabinet rather than to make pro-
hibition a party issue will permit the
matter to be brought before the Com.
mons in the form Of a private bill. The
members will then vote on this bill
as individuals and not as parts of a
political unit.

Their advance into Hungary hangs on
the possession Of Uzosk Pass, where
the invaders are meeting with stub
born opposition.
Several days ago the Russians cap
tured q position which gave them
command Of a road leading to the rear
Of UEsok Pass, but since then the
Teutonic allies have checked the
movement. The importance Of the
Carpathian operations is indicated By
the half-hearted actions along the rest
OF the long eastern front.
The people OF the dual monarchy
are said to be greatly cheered by the
number OF German re-enforcements
passing through Budapest on the way
to the Carpathian front to take part
in the operations, which are now be-
lieved to be in charge OF the German
general staff.
The whole campaign in the east piv-
OTIS on Uzsok Pass, where the Austro-
German forces are In such great
strength that the efforts of the Rus
slams to reach the Hungarian plains
are likely to be prolonged.
In the west the French apparently
are satisfied with their recent sue
cesses between the Mouse and the
Lorraine frontier and claim only to
have come in contact with the Ger
mar entanglements In this region. Of
fetal German reports assert that de-
termined attacks by the French have
been repulsed along this sector.
Probably no session Of the British
parliament since the opening Of the
war has been awaited with keener In

GRADE CROSSING is FATAL
Thirteen Are Killed When Freight
Train Crashes Into Street Car
at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich-Thirteen persons, 10
Of them women, were killed and q in
jured in a collision between a Detroit
city street car and a freight train on
the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroad.
Three Of the injured are expected to
die.
Hours after the accident only three
OF the dead had been identified. They
were: Miss Gall Gladys George, a
school teacher, Mrs. Zepak Wagergas
and Louis Kornich. Most OF the vic
tins lived in Detroit's foreign quarter.
The street car, crowded with passen-
gers homeward bound from their days
work. stopped as 1t approached the
railroad crossing and the conductor
ran ahead to see II the track was clear.
He signalled the motorman to walt,
but apparently the latter, who Is said
to have been inexperienced, m%isunder-
stood his meaning. He applied the
power and the car ran rapidly down
an incline and onto the railroad track.
The freight cars pushed by the en-
CINE struck the street car fairly in the
middle, smashing It almost TO bits.
The wreckage was pushed along a
hundred feet. several of the dead and
injured dropping along the street be-
fore the train was stopped. Others
were crushed in the splintered mass
Of steel and wood and 1t was several
hours before they could be extricated,
As the dead were taken from the
debris they we're laid in a row along
the street pending the arrival Of the
coroner Later they were removed to
undertaking establishments.
Many private automobiles rushed to
the scene OF the accident and these,
with the ambulances. carried the in
jured to the hospitals. Several OF the
injured were 80 badly hurt, 1t WAS
said, they may die.

ST. MIHIEL LINE UNBR0KEN
Allies Strenuous Efforts to Ad-
vance In France.

London.-The first phase Of the bat
tie of the Woevre has apparently come
to the end. and interest centers on the
next move OF Gen. Joffre, In his effort
to compel the Germans to release their
hold on st. Mihiel and that part of
the plan of the Woevre included In
their wedge. British military critics
place great importance on the advance
from Regnieville toward Thiaucourt in
the south, as the latter town Is a rail-
way center from which the force at
st. Mihiel draws its supplies.
This battle has not as yet proved
the prelude to a general offensive in
the west, as was expected. This Is
probably due to the fact that, instead
Of moving troops from other points
along the line to assist the army Of
the Woevre, the Germans have brought
their requirements from the interior
of Germany, or perhaps right from the
eastern front, and consequently the
situation remains comparatively quiet
on the western front.
German submarines again are act
i've, and, besides, the Harpalyce which,
according to one member of her crew
and the officers of another steamer,
was t%orpedoed, they have attacked
since Saturday night the British liner
Wayfarer, the French steamer Fred
eric Franck and the little steamer
President. The Wayfarer reached
Queenstown in a sinking condition;
the Frederic Franck was towed into
Plymouth, and the President was still
afloat when her crew OF 10 left her.
