The First ward Is the only place so

There seems to be an impression
in political circles and elsewhere that
there will be at least two candidates
Of each party for the nomination for
every municipal office. Persons who
hold this view expect the city clerks

snow STORM
In the Pacific Northwest is A.
most Unprecedented in That
Section Of the Country.

SEATTLE, WASH, Feb. S-The
Pacific Northwest again today faced
the task OF battling with an unpre-
cedented snow storm which has paral,
yzed rail communication, disorgan-
lied city life, held residents in outly'
ing sections snowbound and caused
thousands of dollars damage to build
ings which were not strong enough to
Withstand the weight of more than
two and half feet of snow on theil
roofs. With continued cold weather
and more snow in prospect the out
look is not promising today for early
resumption Of normal conditions. All
the northern trans-continental trains
are tied up in the mountains.
In Seattle and other cities street
car lines are completely blocked b.
snow. Schools are closed and bust
ness is practically suspended. Tho
greatest single loss from the storm
occurred in Seattle where the dome
of st. James's Catholic cathedral col
lapsed under the weight of snow
causing damage to the adifce of $751;
900.

Impression is That Most Aspi-
rants Will Wait until the
Eleventh Hour.

With only two days left in which TO
formally enter the race for city Offices
there was today dearth Of candidates
for all offices, with the exception OF
councilman from the First ward, for
which post three men, two Republicans
and one Democrat, have declared
themselves. John Flaherty, the Demo-
cratic candidate from that ward, is the
only member Of his party to yet enter
the race for any city office.
According to the provisions Of the
ordinance regulating the city primary
recently passed by the city council,
all aspirants for nomination for the
city offices must notify the city clerk
of their Intentions before S o'clock
Saturday afternoon, February 5.
The general impression prevails
that most Of the wollld-be candidates
are planning to wait until the last
minute to announce themselves, mean
time looking the situation over. en-
deayoring to learn just how strong
they are.
Although he has not as yet made
announcement OF his candidacy, rumor
persists that ]. T. Swager, city. coun-
Gilman from the Third ward, will en-
ter the race for the Republican nomi-
nation for mayor Mr.. Swagers
friends, it is said, have been looking
! the situation over for sometime. Mayor
G. n. Gordon has already announced
his candidacy for reelection. There
may be a dark horse or two on the
Republican side for mayor. =.
Among the Democrats, strong SEN
timent in favor OF Edgar F. Hood for
the Democratic nomination for mayor
is said to be crystalIzing. Mr.. Hood,
however, has not yet announced him
self, and is said to be in receptive
mood.
Chief Of Police Harry l.. Brooks re-
mains the only avowed candidate for
chief OF police. There is much spec
ulation as to whether he will have OPP
position at the primaries. In Demo-
cratic circles, II is said that Kenneth
Sappington, who was the Democratic
candidate for chief Of police in 1915,
would enter the race for the .nonina-
tion at the hands Of his party.
For superintendent Of streets only
one candidate has so far announced
himself. He is Edward j.. Doyle,
street superintendent for many years,
who seeks the Republican nomination
for this Office. 3 ,.
W. Clarence Noon has entered the
race for the Republican nomination Tor
city assessor. G
Although number Of persons have
been mentioned as prospective candi-
dates for the city clerks job. only one
man has so far formally entered the
trace. He is EEard w; la,itenstsin

GERMANS TO BLAST WAY /
TO CALAIS AND DUNKIRK
Or at Least London Newspa-
pers Believe They Will
Attempt to Do So.
STRONG INFANTRY BODIES
Enormous Masses of Artillery
Are also to Be Used on a
Large Scale.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The London
newspapers this morning express the
conviction that the Germans are
, planning a new offensive on a large
scale against the left wing Of the Al
lies. 1t is expected that they will at
tempt to blast way to Calais and
Dunlsirk by the use Of strong bodies
of infantry, supported by enormous
masses Of artillery.
The following British official state
ment has been issued regarding the
operations on the western front:
zone of our patrols last night, af-
ter shooting hostile sentries threw
hand grenades into hostile trenches
established at the northern end Of
Frise.
"At about 1880 this morning the
men attempted surprise attack
against our trenches near Ypres on
the Pilkelm road. The attack was not
preceded by any artillery lombard
ment and was easily repulsed by our
fire."
The testimony of a resident of a
sea coast village in Norfolk in Mon
days Zeppelin raid is given as fol-
lows in the Manchester Guardian:
"About 5 o'clock in the evening
heard noise in the sky above my
cottage and saw Zeppelin coming
down rather slowly at steep angle.
1t then righted itself and cruised
about as If taking its bearings. 1t
was of a grayish brown color. All
the people of the village came out
to see the airship, which after cir
cular movement along the coast,
dropped bombs near some farm vii
lage in field and then made of. 1t
was over our neighborhood altogeth-
er for about three-quarters Of an
hour and seemed unable to find its
course. A witness who saw Yep
pelin over London in the last raid,
says that the present one seemed to
be twice as large"

SPARE THE ROD AND
SPOIL THE CHILD is
DIR. MORRISON'S THEME
Stirring Sermon Dealing with
Obedience to Laws of Home
and Teaching Children.
TALK is A PRACTICAL ONE
Interest Increases from Day to
Day in Great Revival and
Many Come Forward.

One OF the most practical as well
as intensely interesting sermons imag-
Unable was delivered last night in the
First Methodist Episcopal church by
DR.. Morrison. The real text was
taken from Romans, vi, 2S, "The
Wages of Sin is Death" However,
the great evangelist, DR.. Morrison,
gave it commonplace and every day
application for the body of his SER
mon, closing with the religious phase
which he had by certain and sure de-
erees worked up to. The chief
theme was obedience" and the
home was taken as the basis upon
which TO build the mighty argument
which followed.
DR.. Morrison gave some strikingly
apt illustrations of the manner in
which many persons permit their
children to fail into bad and danger
Gus habits through neglect of proper
training. Particularly is this true
in the matter OF instant obedience.
He developed the thought that too
many young people are philosophers
and premature reasoners, demanding
TO know why" instead OF simply
doing their parents bidding. 1t was
further shown that multitude of par
ents are sorely at fault in permitting
their children to question the right to
control.
Dr.. Morrison certainly displayed
wonderful tact in handling this sub
ject, knowing full well that there are
parents who are over sensitive and
easily offended. while there are many
Others perhaps who feel conscious
sense OF guilt or at least knowledge
that they are III 4 measure practicing
the very thing against which the
evangelist was laundering his philip
pics. But a wave OF contagious hu-
NOR running down and engulting ev-
cry frown brought the audience
quickly to the closest sympathy and
had 1t not been for the fact that the
sacredness of the situation command
ded otherwise, it was evident repeat
ed applause would have followed. In
short. 1t was the ablest sermon of its
kind that has been heard in this sec
tion In many months.
In working up the connection be-
tween obedience to the earthly par
lents and obedience to God, DR.. Nor
rison said "by far the greatest means
of grace is the hickory limb and the
mourner's bench" From that
thought he quickly showed the great
need OF obedience to the ever present
laws or Jehovah and the bowling to
divine, will. the sermon was so unique
and wonderful in It's plan and execu-
tion that those who heard 1t marycled
as they listened. asking seemingly.
Glow can one come into such close
harmony with the Creator as to talk
/, of His mysteries and wonders With
such perfect knowledge" IT was
marvellous indeed.
