London, June 23.-French gains in

stand out as the distinctive strug-

ropean war. Many unconfrmed re-

In the Vosges the Germans have
retired to the east bank Of the Fecht,
according to their own admission,
but, they assert that all French at
tacks have been repulsed.
The fighting around Arras contin-
ues desperate and sanguinary, the
Germans ounter-attacking to offset
the recent French gains. A wireless
dispatch from Berlin says:
Neutral reports declare that the
battle raging near Arras may decide
the fate of Northern France. The
French are strong, but the Germans
are continuously receiving reinforce
ments. The losses on both sides are
fearful"
The house of commons has adopt

NINE NEW
BUILDINGS
Are Being Erected In The Rural
School Districts of The
County.
PROF. FOSTER A LIVE WIRE
Is Giving Personal Supervision
To improvements That are
Under Way.

Following up the order of the
County School Board, the work has
already been commenced on some of
the nine school houses that will be
built or repaired during the summer
months. The old school houses were
small and incommodious and the new
up. to. date schools will offer the coun-
ty pupils a much better chance to get
good educations.
Prof. L. E. Foster, to whom much
credit is due for getting the build
ing of the houses ordered, is taking
personal supervision of the work.
Prof. Foster drew the plans for ali
of the school houses himself.
The smaller buildings will be of
frame and will have only one class
room. There will be no cloak rooms.
Other houses will be of the same
plan but larger than the first. The
approximate cast of these school
houses will be about $3.50 each. The
schools of this kind will be the High
way School, near Tyson; the Walnut
Grove school on the Canton pike; the
Gee school, near Lafayette; and the
schools at Beverly, West Fork and
Dogwood and Combs schools.
At Edwards Mill the school house
will be repaired and remodeled and
another room added. A high school
department will be added to the
school. The cost of this will be part
ly paid by the county and partly by
the patrons of the school, who re-
Gently raised several hundred dollars
for this purpose.
At Howell a much larger building
will be erected, to be used for both a
high school and grammar school.
The total cost of building this build
ing has been estimated at $1,000.
About half of this amount was rails
ed by the people of that district by
subscriptions The building will be
modern in every way and in addition
to class rooms will have a room where
meetings of Importance may be held.
The school will be open to all in that
division.
1t is purposed to have the school
houses north of town completed by
July lst. and the others by an early
date in August. All of them will be
finished up by the time for the school
term to open in the fall.

The constitution and statutes not
only guarantee the right to vote, but
require the vote to be counted, the
supreme court held Monday in re-
versing the federal district court of
western Oklahoma. which annulled
indictments of two Blaine county,
Oklahoma, election officials charged
with conspiracy to omit from con-
gressional returns in 1912 the vote
in eleven precincts. Justice Lamar
dissented, saying that the "conspir-
acy statutes" of the United States
could not be used to punish state
election officials since the repeal OF
the force law" The case is said to
have promised possible way OF dis
franchising Objectionable persons by
communities from voting, and to be
far-reaching for that reason.
