GLORY FLOATS
OVER THE SCHOOL
FLAG RAISED WITH APPROPRI
ATE EXERCISES AT ANDREWS
BUILDING.

With beautiful and appropriate ex-
ercises the stars and stripes were
raised over the Andrews Public
School building at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. The flag was purchased
with funds derived from the sale of
flag buttons by the pupils Of the
school. The sixth grade having sold
the largest number was awarded the
honor of conducting the exercises.
While the members Of the school
stood with barred heads and sang
"The Star Spangled Banner boys of
the sixth grade raised "Old Glory"
aloft and when its folds caught the
passing breezes, a mighty shout was
raised. The pupils then returned to
the auditorium and most attrac-
tive program, consisting of sorgs, rec
itations and readings was carried out.
The exercises we're under the direc-
tion OF Prof. Robert L. Thomas, tie
principal Of the primary department.

the city had expended about $350,0O0
on street Improvement and that there
was nothing to show for 1t except a
network of poor, muddy thorough
fares, that were travesty on the fair
name of the city. His remarks were
evidently distateful to the feminine
portion of the meeting, who were far
from waxing enthusiastic over them,
while they were applauded by those
who favored the ordinances.
Hon. H. P. Figuers spoke against
them, waxing warm in his denuncia-
ton Of them, and was of the opinion
that the proposed Improvements were
in the nature of an experiment. He
and the city attorney engaged in a
warm discussion Of their practical
bility and their success in other cit
les.
James A. Sloan addressed the meet
ing an another citizen whose inter-
est in the civic welfare of the city
was uppermost in his heart. He ad-
mitted his embarrassment in speak
ing, as he had many warm friends
on each side. However, he stated
that he had weighed the matter care
fully and believed that it would be
an economy to pave the streets with
some kind of permanent paving.
Or. J. A. Edwards was very warm
in hos position to the ordinances. He
protested on the plea of hard times,
and said that he could not see where
ultimate good could come from their
passage. His remarks were answer
ed by Hon. w. G. Salmon.
After a discussion Of the ordinances
for an hour or more, the board went
into executive session, and each or
dinance was passed separately by a
vote of to g. The improvement Of
the streets will begin at once.

their reasons for protesting. Most
of the protests were very similar in
their tone. The objection was made
that times were very hard right now,
business had been bad the past year,
and that the cost of the paving was
going to be excessive. Some OF them
sought to show that the cost was 20
ing to be so great as to be almost
confiscatory. These objections were
answered by Mayor Dedman and 9TH
ers who were in favor Of the ordi-
nances.
The discussion of the ordinances
was general and all property owners
we're allowed to state their protests.
Many Of them did not appear in per-
son, but filed their written protests.
The opposition to the ordinances
from the owners along Seventh from
the court house to High street was
especially vigorous. Hon. ". 5.
Fleming appeared in their behalf and
made a strong protest against the f.
nal passage of the ordinances.
Hon. w. C. Salmon was the first
speaker in behalf of those who IA
cored the measures. He stated that

LONDON, April 30.-With the bat.
tie in Flanders seemingly at an end,
except for attacks the allies are
making to recover the rest of the
ground they lost last week, the inter
est of the public has turned to the
Dardanelles, where French and Brit
ish forces, with the cooperation of
the feet, are attempting to force the
straits and open the way to Constan-
tinople.
How far these operations have pro-
crossed only those Of the spot and
the highest authorities at home know.
The British have landed at three
point on the Gallipoli peninsula and
have thrown line across the outer
point of the peninsula. Other British
troops are threatening the Bulair line
OF forts and the French are looking
after the Turks on the Asiatic side
Of the straits.
The Turks report that all the land
ing parties have been repulsed, but
British reports, which are brief, con-
tent themselves with the statement
that progress is being made and liz.
more entirely the Turkish claims of
victories.
Along the western front in France
there Is much activity, but no big bat
tie is in progress, although there are
reports that the British have begun
an offensive in the neighborhood OF
Armentieres. The Germans apparent.
ly do not contemplate movement in
force on the western end of the line,
as they re-opened today the Belgian
Dutch frontier, always closed when
the Germans are on the move.
Heavy fighting continues in the
Carpathians for Uzsok pass and in the
direction Of Stry, where the Austrians
are threatening the Russian commu-
nications. Berlin reports that the
Austrians again have invaded Bessa-
rabia, but there is no confirmation OF
this in the Austrian official state
ment received today.
The Russians again have taken the /
offensive against the Turkish invad |
ers of Persia, and have driven them
from the border town of Kotur.
Dispatches from neutral countries !
report that great contraction of /
Austrian troops is taking place on the
Italian frontier as a measure against
the possibility of Italy joining the al
lies, and that troops are being con
veyed by sea to every coast town in
Dalmatia and Istria.

Criticiam Of "war stocks"

Regarding the war stocks In which
speculation is especially keen Just now,
Noodp's Md0d-ine has a few words
TO say as follows The numerous In
quiries a. 10 the ACCESSIBILITY OF buy
ing or selling the issues OF this or
on hand a large volume OF war orders
have shown that the widespread in
terest in the subject warrants a presNn-
tation OF even such unreliable data and
estimates as can be obtained. No doubt
the war group Of stocks ever at the
prevalent relatively h!gh prices are
among the best speculative purchases
on the list. and this opinion Is held in
the face of the unquestionahle fact that
both the volume and Importance If these
war orders is ahsurdly overcstimated.
The principle governing the Cass
is that In war times stocks rise almost
as much as they would II the war proA,s
were 10 be permanent. Hence the thing
10 do is first To get the benefit OF the
rise and second TO be sure to AXE
profits before the war draws 10 an
end. The stocks Of these com
panies. except a few Of the preferred
issues, can hardly he considered as In
