"BIue Book" Ahead Of Time.

Advance copies of the official man
ual of Missouri, generally known as
the Blue Book" have been delivered
to the secretary of state fully one
month ahead of the schedule time.
This manual is for the years 1915 and
1916 Copies will be mailed to all the
newspapers, and within the next few
days 10000 copies will be distributed.
The new manual is more condensed
than the one for 1913-1914. The cleo
ton returns are not so bulky. Many
new features have been added. The
first page proper contains the Ameri-
can flag, and the second Keys ma
tional song. Much space is given to
agriculture, poultry, dairy interests
and other matters of moment. Veter-
mary surgeons are given space to tell
Of remedies for hog cholera, and there
it a treatise on the prevention of tuber,
culosis.

London.-The presumed prelude Of
a strong German offensive movement
on the western front, where the Ger
mans are reported to have received
large re-enforcements, occurred early
Sunday morning against the British
line to the northeast of Ypres. To the
accompaniment of a heavy lombard
ment the Germans directed clouds of
gas against the British, who, in con-
junction with the French batteries,
turned their guns on the German
trenches engaged in the gas opera
tons.
On the other war fronts there has
been little fighting of Importance.
For the present, the campaign in
the Balkans, except for the pursuit
of the Serbians in Northern Albania
and minor actions between the Bull
garians and Montenegrins virtually is
at a s%tandstill. The Bulgarians are
still standing guard at the Greek from
tier, where the Anglo-French forces
crossed to make their way back to
Saloniki.
Along the Austro-Italian line, snow
in the mountains and rains in the
valleys are hampering the Italians in
their operations against Gorilla. Near
Monte San Michele an Austrian
trench, which was formed a salient
in the Italian line, was taken by a
surprise Italian infantry attack.
Artillery bombardments of Turkish
and allied positions and the Smelling
of Turkish positions by entente war
ships are reported from the Gallipoli
Peninsula.

British Call for Foreign Troops
The call for 100000 recruits issued by
Lord Kitchener, it seems to us on this
side of the pond, should have been
made long ago. Perhaps had 1t been
done Antwerp had not fallen.
The delay recalls the fatal error OF
Jefferson Davis. When Mr.. Toombs
was secretary Of the Confederate
states, in a cabinet meeting, he urged
that every available man in the Con-
federacy be called out at once.
Mr.. Davis replied: why, Mr..
Toombs, we have not arms for those
in the field now"
But answered Mr.. Toombs: Sir, we
will capture them in the first battle.
Nothing can Withstand the enthusiasm
of our soldiers. Take advantage OF o.,
this enthusiasm. The first battle will
be fought near Washington. Have
so 900 or more fresh troops to take
the place Of those fatigued by battle,
and we will rush on and capture
washington and command peace.
Events proved the segacity Of Mr..
Toombs.
After the battle of Bull Run, when
Mr.. Davis met Stonewall jackson,
Jackson said: "Give me 5000 fresh
troops and I'll have Washington by
sunup tomorrow"
But Mr. Toombs' advice had not
been followed and there were no fresn
troops.
England should have called out ev-
ery available man at the start, adopt
ing Mr.. Toombs' idea. Had she done
so Antwerp had been saved, and all
this submarine and torpedo business
been averted. England knew Ger
many had been preparing for twenty
years"
Mr.. Davis blundered: so did Lord
Kitchener.-Callawa in Macon Tele-

THREE IN ONE

The inexperienced man, as a rule,
starts exactly backward when he has
decided to buy Life Insurance. Nine
times out Of ten the first thing he
asks the agent Is not how long his
company has been in business, what
kind Of record it has for giving a
Square Deal to its policy holders, or
to explain the terms and conditions
Of the policies it issues, but asks what
will be the cost. He has an idea that
all companies are about the same"
Is Cost. Now, George, let me tell
you a plain fact, and that is that you
can take five policies for $1,000 each
in five Of the leading companies and
carry them, say Is years, and you will
find that there will not be exceeding
$1.00 on the $1,000 difference in the
annual cost between the highest and
lowest, and possibly not over so cents,
provided they are all taken at the
same age and are on the same plan.
There is likely to be material differ
ence in the terms Of the contract and
the records Of the company, and these
two last features are the points to be
considered. II you have not already

May 25, headed "AIl Companies Not

Report Of the War Operations On Va
rious Fronts.

Report Of the War Operations On Va
rious Fronts.
London, June IF the Germans
have transferred troops to the west,
as reported, they have held sufficient
men in the east to continue without
relaxation the offensive that has car
ried them with the Austrians almost
across Galicia.
The forces that pinched Przemysl
into surrender are battering their way
eastward, and according to both the
German and Austrian official commu-
nications, at one point, in the south
east are hardly more than go miles
from the Russian frontier. The
troops which swept through Stry have
continued further east until they are
80 miles beyond that town and equally
beyond Lemberg. the position Of
which appears perilous.
Farther north they are Is miles to
the east of Przemysl. So, that rough
ly speaking, the encircling movement
on Lemberg is duplicating that at
PrZemySl.
The Germans also are on the often
sive in the Baltic provinces. Their Of
fetal statement records the crossing
of the river Windau, southeast Of Lii
bau.
A Petrograd dispatch received in
London tonight says:
"Telegrams from Rigara report the
Germans active to the north, north
east and east Of Libau. The military
authorities expect heavy fighting at
Mostzik, where the Russians will make
a determined stand"
Hard fighting and heavy losses OH
both sides. notably north of Arras,
where the French seem determined to
nibble their way forward, continue in
the west, but the contests are hardly
more than trench warfare contracted
with the fighting in Galicia.
Repeated Zeppelin raids on England
have aroused British airman to extra
ordinarily vigorous actions, raid on
a Zeppelin shed near Brussels and the
bringing down of a Zepplin with its
crew near Ghent being carried out at
about the same time. The British Of
fetal account does not state whether
the dangar attacked held a Zeppelin,
but message reaching London asserts
that 1t did.
Italy has been taken into the finan-
cial circle of the nations warning
against Germany. At recent meeting
of the British chancellor of the eX-
chequer and the Italian minister of
the treasury, an agreement was reach
ed to pool resources, just as Great
Britain, France and Russia had pre-.
viously agreed to.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-06-08

Reports from the Galacian front,
according to a German official state
ment of Saturday, indicate that the
Austro- German troops now are IN
complete possession of all parts OF
Przemysl. The Russians contested
stubbornly each advance, but at length
were driven from the eastern and the
southeastern forts, the last to fall. II
generally is admitted that the greater
part Of the Russian garrison was aple
to retreat eastward by defending the
positions toward the south. This
checked the attacking army Of Gen.
Won Boehm- Ermolli and temporarily
prevented the complete encircling OF
the city. Although the railroad line
along which the retreat occurred, was
under the fire Of field guns, they were
too far away to be effective. Appar-
entity the city suffered little during
the Russian occupation. Huge stores
of provisions and considerable
amount Of war material were captur-
ed. Immediately after occupation OF
Przemysl, General Mackenzen's army
pressed eastward. It encountered the
Russian rear guards on the heights OF
the Medyka, where fighting still " in
progress. The Teutonic allies have
succeeded in joining their forces along
a continuous front moving eastward,
which has relieved the difficult posi-
ton of the north wing. The only Sc
rious opposition expected probably
will be offered near the Grodek lakes,
south OF Lemberg, where the Russians
may be able to throw in reserves. 1t
is expected the army Of General Lin
singer, moving northeastward from
Stry, will be able to threaten the Rus
slams from the rear If they offer such
resistance.

WE DO NOT WANT TO TEACH
THAT THE CHIEF END OF LIFE
IS TO MAKE MONEY, For We Do

We are always mindful Of the fact
that shrouds have no pockets and we

If the chief end of life were to make
money and shrouds had pockets. this
would be an extremely selfish world,
and we can imagine no consideration
that would make it worth while as
habitation.
But having money ENOUGH to
meet your obligations and to supply

fully comfortable feeling.
The way to HAVE money is to Save
all you do not actually need for proper
purposes, and we would like to discuss
