British Headquarters. France, Aug. 81
Correspondence of The Associated
Press. The only man Of the hundreds
of thousands at the British front who
wears the crossed batons OF Field
Marshal on his shoulders appeared in
an opening in the shrubbery which Dor
dered the field where a machine gun
battery Of the New Army was waiting
for orders to move.
None Of the men in the battery had
any idea that he was coming. They
were lounging and chatting as they
waited. In a glance every one ldentlned
that sturdy figure with its square chin
and the white dropping mustache with
the pictures which they had seen in the
papers. There was no need for call to
attention. The effect was like an cleo
trio shock which sent every man to his
place and made his backbone steel
rod.
"Does Sir John French often slip up
on YOU that way?' gasped one OF the
battery lieutenants who was all Of nine
teen years Of age. Nineteen is the limit
Of youth for officers in the New Army,
and there are scores no older. From
the one chocolate drop on that boy lieu
tenants sleeve 10 the crossed batons
represented dizzy altitude.
The battery had just come out from
England. Il took the commander-in-
chief about five minutes TO form his
judgment OF the results Of their nine
months preparatory drill. He asked a
few questions as he looked over each
gun and its crew.

"Any idea that the commander-in-
chief spends all his time over map

staff officer explained, ais quite erro-
neous. He is always on the 60"
The automobile enables him to get
over a lot Of ground in day. Some
times the inspections are quite formal.
Different battalions of brigade drawn
up in fields await his coming. Com
handing officers know Of his approach
when they see the flag of his car flut-
tering along the road. On these occa-
sions he usually makes a little speech.

MAKES A BID FOR THE
POSITION OF POLICEMAN.
Benton Teter Life Long Resident of
City Offers to Watch Inter-
ests of The City For $500
Per Year.

When the newly elected officials
of our city meet tonight in the coun-
Gil chamber for organization and
appointment of committees and
various officers, they will be confront
ed with a petition or bid rather,
whereby Benton Teter, lifelong
resident of our city, agrees to do the
police work of the city for the year
for the sum of $500, in fact two hun
bred dollars cheaper than is now paid
for that work It will also make the
many other applicants sit up and
take notice, as Mr.. letters bid means
saving of 5000 to the taxpayers and
that is no little amount considering
the revenue that is raised in our city
for running the municipal affairs.
Anyway you take it means that the
other applicants will have to come
down to Mr.. letters offer or council
stand by the old price paid and APP
wo;nt their choice. The Office does
not consume all a mans time and
there is no reason why the work
could not be done at cheaper price
than now paid and save the city
money. 1t is up to the city council
to take action.

United States officials for receiving
shipment of liquor, said to have
been two quarts, through the parcel

All parcel post packages, as is
known must bear the name of the
sender, and it is alleged the response
bility will not rest upon the shoulders
of the receiver, but with the party do
ing the shipping. The package it is
said, was apprehended and ,inyestiga-

According to the best information at
hand, the sending of liquors through
the mails is a violation of the federal
postal act and is punishable by peni-
tertiary Imprisonment.

CAN GIVE WARRANTS
BUT CAN'T CASH THEM.
Darst and Long Get Opinion From
Attorney General

CHARLESTON, March 29.-State
Auditor ]. S. Dart and State Trea-
surer E. l.. Long today sent to Attor-
ney General A. A. Lilly a joint letter
asking an opinion through its officers
to borrow money. This inquiry is the
first suggestion as to probable means
of ending the present dilemma in the
state finances.
Darst and Long declare it is their
duty as fiscal officers to make every
effort to maintain the credit of the
state. Attorney General Lilly inform
ed the officials today that while the
law required the auditor to issue a
warrant on presentation of claims
against the state, the state treasures
would be unable to endorse it where
there are no monies in the treasury
to the credit of that particular fund
on which they are drawn.
