that the situation is very grave.
In their report to Director X. n.

men at work in Chickasaw county state
that they located $4,000 bushels OF 1914
crib corn that seemed to promise we'll

This situation in Cherokee county is
fairly representative of the conditions
which prevail in the other counties in
the northeastern corner of the state.

 GERMANS AGAIN RAID ENGLAND
yERDUN BATTLEPROCEEDS

PARIS. March 6-Fighting of the most extreme violence continues at Daumont four miles from Verdun The Germans are now attacking over front of several miles from Haudremont Daumon with fierce determl- nation but our side claims to have repused every effort of the enemy in the past twentyfour hours The French
 war office also claims that the French positions taken by the Germans have been so up by shell fire that they cannot be consolidated by the enemy and that he will be driven out of them The official statement just issued about the battle says that forty to fifty thousand German coses were rushed over by their comrades in their mad rush against our position DaumOnt and that the losses of the Teutons were simply awful Some contingents lost
 six out of every ten men even before they fired shot It is admitted that German achievements are constantly arriving to aid in the attack and that the German supply of ammunition seems to be inexhaustibe and their guns are still beIching storm of shells at positions 1t IS made clear that the enemy has been preparing ammun ton for long period just for such an attack and some anxiety is expressed that their supply might be found to be greater than ours In the early part of the offensive our wings at the villages of SamOgneuX and Ornes were forced to fall back and it is admitted that the village of Daumont has been taken but holding our own since those events took place The fighting has been talk ing place over front of twenty-five miles. Between the rivers Mouse and Ones the struggle is ercest It IS stat ed that the Germans are about to bring up the big siege guns with which they took Antwerp and will turn them on the fortress of Verdn itself but it known that Verdun has miles upon miles of great underground works which might be full protection from the immense shells In Champagne Asace and other points some fighting IS also reported The British have been engaged in the Ypres region again but claim that they have repused the enemy attacks.
