The elaborateness and permanent cy of the German trenches captured
 in the recent drive by the French and
 British indicated the conviction of Germans in the security of their line. Dugouts, often 30 feet deep, were ce- mented and contained electric lights
 and armchairs. While in the most instances the German soldiers sur rendered when their trench was sur rounded, occasionally group of German troopers would secret them selves in a small corner Of dugout and fight until the death of the last man.

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
 PUBLIC HEAT sYsTEM
 PLANNED BY WoRTHEN

Although the matter Of a public heating plant as proposed by H. S. Worthen. was thoroughly discussed last night at the meeting of the city council no action was taken and the question was again referred to the street committee.
 In general the proposed ordinance granting Mir Worthen the franchise he requests met with the approval of the Council. Several conditions were suggested, however, which may have to become a part of Mr. Worthen's agreement with tho city if the fran chise is granted Among these pro- posed conditions is tho stipulation that wherever possible the pipes me- cessary for the installation of the system are to be laid under the side walks instead of in the roadway in or der to eliminate a necessity for tear ing up the streets.
 Mr. Worthen intends, # the fran chise is granted, to begin the installa- ton of the heating early in the new year. The central heating plant is to be inconnection with the Worthen Mills on Lower Franklin street.

to allow such action by other
nations as she has now illegally
taken. She claims that cotton
must be kept our of Germany
because it is used to make pow
der to kill English soldiers. She
should remember that this same
cotton is being used to make
powder to kill German soldiers
and that the powder is made
right here in this country and
loaded into shells for her allies
to use to kill German soldiers;
that the reason why ammunition
and arms are allowed to go to
here is because this country
feels it is not justified in chang
ing the rules of neutrality while
the game is on; but if England
can change the rules during the
game America can do the same.
Under the law of nations, this
country has a perfect right to
ship cotton to all neutrals in
whatever quantity they may see
fit to purchase and also to Ger
many other than to the govern
ment. But England has taken it
upon herself to say what nations
shall receive cotton and how
much each shall receive. This
is an abuse of England's sup
posed sea power which should
be resented by this government
to the utmost of it's ability. We
should assert our rights as neu-
trails and back the assertion
with powder and lead, if neces-
sary. The American people
have not been in the habit of
accepting bossism from without
and we think it is too late to be-
gin now. Besides it will be
much easier to bring England
around now than after the
European struggle is over; and
we certainly are not going to
allow her to supervise our for
eign commerce. An embargo
on arms and ammunition with a
few battleships headed for Eu-
ropean waters would be worth
all the notes our underwriting
