A large attendance Of teachers from
all parts of the county were present
when the association met at the high
school auditorium last Friday morn
ing. There were one hundred teach
ers, school directors and friends pres
ent at the banquet at the Ben Mar
at 1870 p. m. that day, and it was a
gala occasion in every respect. The
feast prepared by the Ben Mar ex-
perts was as always amply sufficient
to put every one in a good humor, and
the program of toasts which followed
under the guidance of the toastmis-
tress, Miss Mary z. Lake, county su-
perintendent, was entertaining and in
structive for all who were fortunate
enough to be present.
The programs for the two days COW
cred large range of subjects i'm
portant to the work of the schools and
there were many interesting papers as
well as vigorous discussion along all
lines. There were special exhibits by
the Lamar and Holly schools and a
The Lamar register., 1915-03-17

number of interesting experiments in
different lines. The one attracting
most attention being the wireless tele-
graphy demonstration conducted by
some of the boys, one of the stations
being at the high school and the
other on the barn at the C. NJ. Lee
residence being in charge of Russell
Lee.
The spelling match by the Holly,
Wiley and Lamar grade schools on
Friday evening was won by the La
mar schools and they received a
handsome loving cup as the emblem Of
championship. We hope this feature
will be a permanent one in connection
with the meetings of the association
and that all the schools of the county
will join and arouse interest. Because
all over the country there is evidence of
decline in proficiency in spelling,
and we believe a live interest in pub
lie spelling matches would do more
to improve the younger generation
than any other method.

st. Patrick's Dance

The big dance given by the Cath
Ollie church at the armory on the
evening Of st. 9atrick's day was a
huge success in ecery particular.
There was an attendance chat crowd
ed even that large room and the floor
space was filled with dancers all even
ing Splendid music was furnished by
the Bannister orchestra, the best Of
order prevailed and the delicious re-
freshments sold by the ladies of the
altar society added much to the pleas
ure of the evening. Financially, So
cially and as an evenings entertain
ment is was the biggest success #
the season.

New Store

The building just north of the one
occupied by the Register and Sparks,
formerly occupied by the Emmett Ball
pool hall is being fitted up in fine
style for store room. When the work
is completed it will be occupied by
NJ. C. Todd with a stock of gents
furnishing goods, shoes and notions.
1t will be one of the handsomest stores
in our city and Mr.. Todd has both the
mercantile experience and capital to
make it a success.

The Legislature has passed a bill
with the emergency clause in regard
to city elections in cities Of the sec
ond class, and it goes into effect in
time to control the coming city cleo
ton. According to its provisions at
this election each ward will elect an
alderman for two years and one for
four years. In the future there will
be elected one alderman from each
ward for four years leaving half the
board to hold over each election. The
other officers remain as at present.

Commissioners Refuse

The county commissioners finally
disposed of the question Of maintain
ing the county agriculturist last week
and decided that the county govern
ment would not contribute any longer
to the support of that service. They
reached this decision several weeks
ago but many farmers requested them
to change their decision, while some
announced their approval of the de
cision. The matter has now been fin
ally disposed of so far as the county
is concerned.

Big Sale

The remaining bankrupt stock of
the Fair store which | moved over to
my place of business and as it is not
in my line Of business, and l have no
room for it, will sell the balance of
chinaware, glassware, etc, at a very
low price in order to close it out. So
when you need anything in this line,
or even if you do not need anything
at the present time, it will pay you to
buy now at the prices that will close
it out. So come everybody and get
81 dishes for 80 cents, as that is the
price that will close the balance Of
the goods out.
You will find the goods at the New
York Store.
Yours to please,
A. FRIEDMAN.

running over twenty-five per day.
Why not leave little as a joke on
the next generation-just as those of
us who came in the sos did. We don't
wish the next generation any harm,
but it might be well to leave a little
of the land for them TO get experience
on.

ENGLAND EXPLAINS NOTE ON THE INCHES Says Detention Based on Sound Legality of
 Case

London, August 5.-t7 p. m.)-Learn-
 ing from comment on the recent ex-
 change of correspondence between the
 United States and Great Britain that
 a misapprehension has arisen with re-
 gard to the British note concerning
 the steamer Neches which 1t was as- serted had been interpreted as stating that the cargo of that vessel had been seized as reprisal measure against Germany's submarine policy, the for
 eign office says was not meant In tho
 nature of reprisal, but was based
 on the British contention of the ab- solute legality of the orders in coun- oil as explained in the note of July 23, to which the Neches note refers.
 The foreign office also explains that In stating that the British government does not yet know what steps the neu trals have taken against the German submarine policy, 1t did not mean to in-
 clude the United States, which, 1t says, has made public its protests against this form of warfare. The foreign of- flee. further explained that fin making reference to the German submarine pol icy the British government only de- sired to point out that from its stand | point 1t was hardly fair to ask It to give up a perfectly legal policy be- cause Germany was engaged in pal | pably illegal course.

 BLOODY STRUGGLE

make no attempt to belittle the achieve ments of the Teutons for the effect their success Is likely to have in the near east and the west
 Since early in May when they started their great counter offensive in Western Galicia against, the Russians who were debouching through the Carpathians onto the plains of Hungary, the troops of the Germanic powers had cleared the Rus sians out of Galicia, with the exception of narrow strip of territory in the south west, have recaptured Przemysl and Linn berg, taken Lublin, Chelm and Warsaw and are in military occupation of virtual ly the whole of Poland.
 What their next move will be is a matter of conjecture. Some military ob- servers believe they will continue to at- tack the Russians in the hope of finally crushing them, a task considered diffi- cult by the Russians, who are laying the country in waste.
 Others of the observers think Servia will be attacked to impress the Balkan states while still others look for a big offensive in the west. All of the ob- servers are of .Se opinion that wherever 1t Is begun it W be on big scale. The Germans also have had local suc- cesses in the west, recapturing on the crest of the line in the Vosges a portion of the trenches which the French took from them sometime ago.

GERMANY STILL CLAIMS
 ATTITUDE WAS PEACEFUL

to a minister who had shown himself so desirous to share England's views
 Ambassadors View
 The Belgian ambassador at Berlin on April 5. 1906. wrote as follows:
 ''The English press did everything to obstruct the results of the Algeciras con- ference and was more irreeoneilable than the French These papers never cease to discuss German plans of aggression which do not exist
 Another excerpt from diplomatic document is quoted by the Nordeutsche Algemeine zeitung, that written by the Belgian minister at London under date of March IS, 1907: "The whole force of English diplomacy Is for Germany's iso- lation."
 On March 2s. 1907. the minister at Ber- lin reported: French arrogance is now as it was during the worst days of the saeond empire This arrogance has increased one degree since the ne- gotiations between London and St. Peters burg"
 The Belgian minister at Berlin is quoted as writing under date of April s, 1907, that France is not expected to keep her engagement with regard to the Ageciras convention, and further on in his report; | .'Esery time that France in the course of history has felt strong enough, she i has tried to arrogate the hegemony of the world. This time the entente cordiale with England gives her the necessary self-confidence."
