worse than the faceache to pronounce

Russians Take
German Port
Occupation Of Memei Believed to
Foreshadow Big Sweep Through
East Prussia

London, March 19.-Beyond the
operations in the Dardanelles the
most important war news OF the day
concerns the reported occupation by
the Russians Of Memel, a German
port on the Baltic, as announced in
the German official communication
Memel is a town of considerable i'm
portance in northeast Prussia and the
presence there of Russian forces is
taken by military observers here to
indicate that the Russian generals
have decided to attempt big sweep
down through East Prussia in an en-
deavor to compel the Germans to fall
back from northern Poland.
Again North Poland was trans
formed into an immense bog by the
thaw which has set in just as Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has started
his offensive against Przasnysz. 1t
is declared that 1t is impossible. ex
cept at widely separated high places
to move, let alone fight.
The Germans, however, have start
ed an offensive in Central Poland,
where they have commenced an at
tack on the Russians In the region
OF the Pilica river. There Is also
heavy fighting in Galicia, the Carpa
thians and Bukowina, despite the
heavy snow. q
On the western front no operations
of great importance have taken place
although the French continue their
efforts to work their way forward In
the Champagne and Argonne regions
and the Belgians still are active in
the little bit Of their territory re-
naming in their hands.
The political situation as regards
Austria and Italy remains obscure,
but there are persistent reports in
/. circulation in London that tn enego
tiations for the cession of Austrian
territory to Italy have broken down
Italy's demands having been consid
cred excessive.

Battles under the sea and in the
air, at one time accepted merely as
highly imaginative fiction, as impos-
sible as the magic lanterns and fly

have become accomplished facts. All
resources of this wonderful age have
been called upon to increase the hor-
rors Of war and the sufferings of
humanity, which is sad comment
upon our boosted civilization.

SedidOus Activity
Rampant In India
Military to Be Clothed With Special
Powers In Order to Nip Upris-
ing In the Bud

Delhi, India, March 19.-Sir Regi-
maid Henry Craddock, member of the
viceroy's council has made the dec
laration that 1t was necessary to
arm the military authorities with spe-
cial powers to act in emergencies
and nip in the bud any and all mani
festations of lawlessness. This state
ment was made in connection with
the introduction of the defense Of
India bill to the governor generals
council.
Continuing, Sir Reginald alluded
to the campaign engineered on the
Pacific coast of America, whence
some deluded men had returned dur
ing the last few months with their
minds poisoned and had committed
acts Of violen:e in Bengal"
Seditious activity was breaking out
afresh, the speaker said, but the
looting in the western Punjab he de-
clared to be largely due to economic
causes and racial conflicts between
Hindus and Mohammedans. The dan.
ger, he said, was only serious II not
checked promptly.

Declares Story Of
Slaughter a Fake
Iowa Missionary Says Dervishes In
Sudan Did Not Rise on Date
Mentioned

Des Moines, Iowa, March 19.-No
uprising among the dervishes of
Egyptian Sudan had occurred up to
December q, last, according to the
Rev. ID. s. Oyler of Atlantic, Iowa,
missionary of the United Presby-
terrain church, who left his mission
at Boleib Hill, about fifty miles from
Fashoda, on that date. This was the
statement Of Mr. Oyler over the long
distance telephone to the Associated
Press today. He declared that the
report that British general named
Hawley and his command had been
killed by dervishes near Fashoda on
December 10, was absolutely false.
Oyler, who is away from Egypt on
a years leave of absence, said that
when he passed through Fashoda on
his way to Khartum the country was
quiet, and the natives peaceful.
"If there mad been any uprising. I
am certain l would have heard of
IT. he declared. 81 never heard Of
a British general named Hawley at
Fashoda, though, of course, there may
have been one somewhere in Egypt.
I had large acquaintance in that
section, however, having spent more
than five years in mission work there
The government station, Tausikia, is
only five miles from Bolieb Hill and
| knew all of the officials there"
Mr.. Oyler declared that he enjoyed
hearty laugh" when he read yes
terday's report of the supposed ris-
ing Of the dervishes.

know one another through tie teach
ers' meetings and the: lunch that was

proud of the display Newberry made

gloried in the progress of the schools
of the county as was shown twice a

we looked forward to the removal Of

The supervising teacher did nothing
alone, but with tie county superin-

it was a pleasure to study, to advise,
and to organize teachers and patrons
for the advancement of county schools.
The teaching force has been improved
