BATTLE FIERCE[Y
FOR POSSESSION
0FtABOISSELLE
Village In Northwest France
Scene Of Violent Conflict
MORE FIGHTING IN ARGoNhE
General Belief That Germans Are
Preparing for Vigorous Ad
vance Movement.

London, Jan. 1S-Military activity
has apparently ceased for the nome
ent at scissors. although there are
signs that a renewal of the struggle
there is impending.
But up to the northwest at the vii
lage af Boisselle, near Albert, con
fiict of extreme violence has been go
ing on for two days, following up the
heavy fighting in that region las,
week
Both Germans and French have a
hold in this village as in many other
hotly contested places on the long bat
tie line. Yesterday the Kaiser's fore
es, who had established themselves
in the churchyard and in hamlet to
the southwest, advanced and drove
out the French with the bayonet, ac-
cording to the Berlin official dispatch
es
This morning the French forces de-
livered a strong counter attack, ac-
cording to Paris. and recaptured the
evacuated territory. The French bull
letin insists that their loss of ground
here was primarily due to the blow
ing up of their ammunition depart
ment by a she'll
Another scene of important opera
tions is in the Forest of La Pretre,
northwest of Pont.a Mousson, where
the French are pushing a wedge into
the German line of communication
leading to St Mihiel
Fighting is almost continuous in the
Argonne and each side claims minor
successes. Fer the time being the Ger
mans seem to be taking the offensive.
The weather is again playing an i'm
portant role at the ends of the line
A storm in Belgium prevents opera
tions except artillery duels and snow
in the Vosges. at the other extremity
makes fighting very difficult
Despite the relative quiet on the
Soissons front, British observers look
for new offensive movement by the
Germans

HARD TO GET MATERIAL
Mills Working on War Orders Short
OF Stock

OF StOck
North Adams. Jan. 1S-Local mill
men say that if it were possible to
get the required quality and amount
of stock for the manufacturing of
army cloth, they could get plenty of
war orders that would keep them
busy for some time to come Some of
them are inclined to blame the admin
istration for not having placed an EN-
barge upon wool and kindred mater
ials for the making of cloth for sol.
diers' uniforms.
They say that practically all of the
wool of kind necessary for the max
ing of such goods have been bought
up by the agents of foreign concerns
and the result is that the market is
very short on them. 1t is claimed
that several good sized orders for
cloth have been turned down be
OF the fact that the raw material for
them cannot be secured so that they
could be turned out at profit.
The Blackington company and the
North Adams manufacturing company
are nearing the end of large orders of
this kind which they received several
months ago and will undoubtedly con-
slider further ones when the present
orders are filled AS it is they have
been able to keep going for some
time making these cloths and employ
ment has been furnished for good
many hands.

COMPANY MAY REORGANIZE

Gainesville Sun: This real estate
company, under the management of
Charles H. Seig, was the owner of
large tracts of land in Marion, Put
nam and Clay counties. Many rever-
ses have come upon the company and
at last it was forced into bankruptcy.
The property is now ordered to be sold
at auction early in September. Mr..
Seig has organized a new company, it
is said, with abundance of capital to
purchase the property, and at the
same time to care for all the settlers
interests. 1t is to be hoped that this
will be done, for the poor settlers on
this tract have suffered a whole lot
and it viii take much to recompense
them.

MENDENHALL'S STATEMENT
Asks the Public to Suspend Judg

est. Petersburg independently


A signed copy of a statement pre-
pared for publication by j. ]. Menden-
hall, now in Jail accused Of the muir
der of two women, was received to-
day by the Independent from John U.
Bird, attorney for the accused man.
In the statement Mendenhall protests
his innocence of any crime, that with
which he is charged or any other, and
asks that the people of the county
suspend judgment until his defense
has been presented. The statement
which he authorized to be made is as
follows:
Clearwater, Fla, July %, 1915.
To the People of Pinellas County:
Having resided in your community
for a great many years, and having
under all circumstances, and at all
times, conducted myself as a law
abiding, public spirited, and, as far
as my ability permitted, useful citi-
zen, l feel that / am not requesting
too much, in consideration of my past,
to ask the good people of Pinellas
county to withhold all judgment and
opinion of me and the trouble in
which / have recently become involv-
ed, until such times as those in whose
hands 1 have placed my interests,
shall deem fit, for a full statement
Of my case, and in the meantime, L
believe it to be only fair to myself,
as well as to you, for me TO state,
most emphatically and positively to
you, that l am not guilty of the
crime of which l stand charged, nor
am l guilty of any crime, and all that
| ask at the hands of the good people
OF Pinellas county, is to await the
proper disclosure of my defense in
! this most unfortunate matter, with
the full confidence that in the end,
will be fully exonerated.
Respectfully yours,
J. J. Mendenhall
