again I would ask American doubt |

many during the Mexican crisis. AL
though extensive German commercial
interests were involved, and although
there was a strong demand for inde-
pendent action to protect those inter-
N;ts during the protracted era of dis
order. the imperial government at all
times stood for leaving the United
States free hand in its policy toward
Mexico. The Washington government
as not at any time left in doubt as

German Official Report.

The German statement of today fol-
lows:
ION the left bank of the Meuse
Silesian and Bavarian troops took by
storm a strong French point of sup
port south Of Haucourt They captured
the entire enemy position on the ridge
of Termiten hill. extending over a
width of more than two lilometers
"a counter attack attempted early this
morning failed completely. Our losses
were slight. Those of the enemy, owing
partly to the treaeherous behavior Of
some, were very heavy. In addition to
those fifteen officers and 699 men were
captured uninjured, including numer-
Gus recruits of the class of 1915
"On the hills east of the Meuse and in
the Woevre sector the artillery was
very active on both sides.
"On HiIsen ridge south of Sender
mach, in the Vosges, a small German
detachment came upon an advanced
French position, the occupants Of which
were killed, with the exception of thir-
ty-one men, who were captured, The
enemy's trenches were blown up"

Reduced to Half Strength.

Three regiments Of the 11th Bavarian
Division. which led the attack on the
Malancourt and the Avocourt woods on
March 20 and %, were each reduced by
one-half. Their loses varied between
so and 60 per cent. The same is true
of the losses of the 4th Regiment Of
the I'd Division of landwehr engaged
under similar conditions.
"The foregoing are only losses during
actual attack and do not include the losses
of regiments in the trenches or in reserve
under the fire Of our cannon. They are
solely the current actual losses. We know
that certain German units have had very
high current losses, that is to say. losses
from artillery fire, when no action of the
infantry was in progress. We cite, for
instance, the 37th Regiment of infantry,
which was surprised by our fire while on
the march to the trenches. 1t lost about
500 men. and from this fact was so re-
duced that it could not, March 10, take
part in the attack on the village of
Vaux, as was ordered, in place of the
18th Regiment. which<had been decimat-
ed by our machine guns.

I'm tired Of sailing my little boat,
Far inside the harbo bar;
want to be out where the big slips float:
Out on the deep where the great ones are,
And if my frail craft prove too slight,
Better 60 down in the stirring fright,
Than browse to death on the sheltered shore.

RESERVOIR DAM
POPULAR PLACE

The reservoir dam has been a
very popular place during the
past few weeks and every even
ing a score or more bathers take
advantage Of the splendid oppor-
tunity for a dip.
The dam has raised conside a.
BILE during the past year and is
now within few feet of spill
way. In the deepest parts of the
dam, it is estimated that there
IS IS feet of water. The width
of the dam is about quarter of
a mile an dit is about three
quarters of a mile from one end
70 the other.
There are many features of
the dam that shuldu be looked
into by some of our citizens,
among them the necessity of
some means of life saving. At the
present time there is nothing
that could be used for the aid of
a drowning person and in case a
person went down within a few
Ieet of shore, it would be almost
impossible to save him. A rope
'r some other protection should
be placed at the dam in case of
necessity and a safety zone
houlI be established. Boys of on
eight to ten years venture a
ar as 100 feet from shore with
10 one but chi dren in the crowd
and unless something is done in
the near future it is very prob
tble that it will be too late.

NOSE BROKEN WHEN
CREAM CAN EXPLODES

Harold Gi' bert was the victim
of a very painful accident Tues
day when a can of cream explod-
ed, the cover striking the young
man in the face and breaking
his nose, His face was also bad
ly lacerated by the cover and
several stitches were taken to
close a cash on his nose.
The cream had been hauled in
from Bixby and had been on the
road for two days and was in a
probability a week old before it
'tarted. The extreme heat and
fermentation formed a large
amount of gas in the can and
when the young man tried to
pull the cover off, it exploded
with the above results.
Gilbert has had several narrow
escapes from serious injury in
the past few weeks, the closest
being, short time ago when he
was pulled from underneath q
train just in time to save hi;
life.

probable that the matter will be

The greater portion of the
business men Of the city are in
favor of the proposition and the
commissioners seem to be favora
