Glendale Dance Situation

The high school board of trustees of Glendale are not quite as severe on the young folk as the board of the graded school that taboces danc ing under any and all conditions.
 J. w. Robinson. member of the high school board said yesterday that the trustees would not take it upon themselves to regulate social affairs but if the dance problem came to a vote the majority would favor the dance, providing it was given in the school.
 we are opposed to the public dance' declared MT. Robinson. After the student leaves the school grounds he is no longer under our authority and for that reason we are advocating the high school dance if they must have dancing. We are willing to take the responsibility of the affairs We would suggest that they be given un- der the supervision of the teachers and if the parents care to be present, 1 they will be made welcome. That is much the better way Then we can have complete control over them and tell them when to go home" he con- cluded frankly as he outlined the lib- erty of Young America.

split will put this nation where it can move effectively for the world peace which we desire.
 The Wilson administration has re- pudiated the faith of our forefathers which made the American flag the sufficient protection of an American citizen around the world It has suf- fered American men, women and child ren to be slaughtered in Mexico and on the high seas American property to be destroyed and American liberty to travel and trade to be subject to the arbitrary and lawless coercion of for eign belligerents. It has stood by while the law of nations disappeared from the earth, without adequate protest or effective resistance. It, first among American administrations, has shown the supine spirit, whose sure conse quence is the contempt of the world.
 "Our people are becoming impatient of leaders who hold that comfort, pros perity and material welfare are above honor, self sacrifice and patriotism. We need a e-awakening of older Americanism, of our belief in those things that our country and our flag stand for. Our people are seeking adership-leadership of the highest order and most courageous character; leadership that will draw to itself for the country's benefit, the unselfish and patriotic services of it's ablest citizens. They are demanding that principles and policies shall be proclaimed and I dom to formulate them and the man. {, hood to fight for them.

 same time the national convention of , the republican party is to assemble

MI ENACE TRIAL
 OPENS IN JOPLIN
 FEDERAL COURT

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]
 JOPLIN, Mo. Jan. 11.-Technical matters relating to the issuing and cir culating of a newspaper were gone into on the first day of the trial in federal court here of the Menace Publishing company of Aurora, Mo-, and four men alleged to have been connected with that company. The defendants are charged with sending obscene printed matter through the mails.
 John H. Mathes, postmaster of Auro- ra, Mo- the only witness examined to- day spent more than two hours under direct examination by the government testifying as to details of the mailing of various issues of the Menace, a weekly newspaper, in which the gov ernment charges, were printed and circulated articles of an indecent char acter.
 Questioned as to the four defendants in the case, MT. Mathes testified Will bur Phelps was business manager of the Menace Publishing company, Bruce. NJ. Phelps was superintendent of the publishing plant, Marvin Brown was managing editor and Theodore C. Wal ker was known as editor of the Men ace
 In making his opening statement, after the jury had been selected, Frank M. Wilson, United States district att tCrney, read from the indictment, num- erOus Tassages containing references to the clergy of the Roman Catholic church. Mir. Wilson admOnished the jurors however, that they were not to regard any question of religious belief in arriving at a verdict but were to consider only the evidence that might he submitted as to the sending through the mails of the allaged obscene arti- cles insofar as it might be shown that the laws relating to the mails may have been broken.
 r We are not charging that the Men ace is an obscene or improper publica- tion" he said. We only charge that certain articles or parts of articles ap- pearing in the newspaper >and certain passages in a book the government charges was circulated by the defen- dants, were sent through the mMls, thereby violating the laWs.''
 In opening the case f5r the defense. J. l. Sheirard, declared to the jury that it was unfair to judge of the alleged publications as presented in the indict ment and told them that reading of the entire articles from which the passages were said tO be taken would show the charges of the government to be groundless. {

to make serious effort to enact these national principles into law.
 Because of the failure of the Wilson to deal adequately with national honor and industrial welfare, this country faces problems of graver and more far reaching conse- quence than any since the civil war.
 International law is humanity's final safeguard, and civilizations last bulwark It's recognition and obser- varice by the nations is the true meas ure of the worlds progress and it is our high duty to do our utmost to up- hold it for the advancement of higher civilization. It is likewise our supreme duty to protect American institutions and American standards of justice.

 LONDON, Jan. 11.-An additional report from Lieutenant General Charles C. Monroe, concerning the evacuation of the southern tip of the Gallipoli Peninsula, and the fighting that preceded it. was made public to- night. It says:
 The Turks attempted a heavy at tack on our lines January between 1 30 and 3 D. m. Our trenches were continuously sheled and from to 4 D. m. the bombardment became in- tense. The Turks also opened heavy musketry fire.
 At 1 o'clock they sprang two mines near the western birdcage and .fusilier bluff. A quarter of an hour later they fixed bayonets all along our front. Their officers were seen apparently endeavoring to make their men assault. They were only successful in doing so opposite Fifth avenue and Fusilies bluff
 The Staffordshires completely re- pulsed an attack and large propor- tion of the Turks who attacked were killed or wounded. Our casualties were five officers and 130 men killed or wounded
 "Aeroplane reports show that the naval fire on the left bank was most accurate and it is probable that the enemy suffered considerably.
 The night of the seventh was fine with the sea calm until after D. m wEcn the weather suddenly grew worse. At II D.. m. the wind had in creased to 8 miles per hour.
 Prom midnight onward it was only just possible to use the piers and light CTS and impossible to carry out the program of embarlling the troops. in destroyers alongside the sunken ships at West Beach, owing to the connect ing piers being washed away. The em- barkation at Gulley Beach became inn possible. one lighter went ashore there. and the remaining troops had to march to Wese Beach for embarka- tion.
 In spite of these difficulties the program at West Beach was complet- ed by z;3O a, m. and the troops from Gulley Beach and all the beach party had embarked by f o'clock.
 "A hostile submarine was reported off Cape Pellas about D. m. The Turkish artillery was practically silent the whole night until the stores were fired simultaneously by a time fuse after the evacuation was completed. The Turks then fired red lights all along the line and opened a heavy smelling on our beaches and second trenches. The red lights continued one and half hours and the smelling until after daybreak.
 'The French authorization was car ried out by their own navy. which also greatly assisted Us by embarking some of our animals"

there We take this action believing that the surest way to secure for our country the required leadership will be by having, if possible, both the pro- gressive and republican parties choose the same standard bearer and the same principles. We are confident that the rank and file of the repub- lican party and the very large inde- pendent vote of this country will sup port such an effort.
 We pledge ourselves to approach the consideration of the issues involved in such an effort without any desire to revive partisan bitterness. If the re- publican convention is responsive to the patriotic spirit that brought the republican party into being and that made it dominant for half a century: if it meets this crisis in the spirit of broad patriotism that rises above par tisanship, the effort for common leadership will be successful.
 "As a result, when the conventions of the two parties adjourn, the spirit of confidence and victory for the leader thus selected and the principles to which he is committed will in itself go far toward insuring victory in No- vember Should the effort fail, the responsibility for the result will not rest on the progressive national con- ventiOn or on the four million voters who supported progressive candidates in 1912.
 "They, when called upon again to do tso, will as firmly refuse to surren- der to party machines. The responsi- bility will rest on other shoulders than ours, and this will be so apparent to the voters of the country as to result in victory for the national progressive party in next falls election.
