Using Big Guns to Check Teu-

FIGHTING APPEARS STACKER
Germans Succeed in Taking Severa
Additional Points In the Fight
ing About Verdun.

London, March 1.-With the lessen
ing Of the activity between the con-
tending forces to the north of Verdun
the French in the Woevre region, east
of Verdun, are using their artillery to
break up German preparations for
further advances toward the fortress.
At various points the fire of the
French guns have prevented the Ger
mans from launching ohensives.
In the Vosges mountains there also
has been great artillery activity by
the French near Senones and Ban-De-
Sapt, while near Seppois the Germans
have been driven out of trenches they
had previously taken.
In the Champagne, German fortified
works in the region of Hill 1913 have
been battered by the French guns and
the crater of a mine exploded by the
Germans was occupied bp the French.
The Germans have added several ad-
ditional points to their terrain in the
fighting about Verdun, having been
enabled to construct trenches on the
slope: north of the Cote du Poivre and
to capture an armored work northwest
Of Douaumont, and have taken the
towns of Manhuelles and Champion,
thirteen miles southwest of Verdun.
In this drive to the east of Verdun
the advance of the Germans has ex.
tended over a front of virtually twelve
miles from Dieppe to Champion.
Berlin reports that thus far they
have taken prisoners 228 officers, 49,.
SIS men and a large number Of guns,
machine guns and much wal material

It's Too lmpOrtant-D0n't Wait
Till After Christmas.

Our students are with us from
many dItferents states and they
do not 90 home for the holidays
owing to the great distance,
therefore, we have no vacation
and new students may enroll
any day and do splendid work.
The sooner you enter, the sooner
you will be through and holding
a good position. Our school is
like a big bank or mercantile es-
Enlistment, it runs throughout
the year; we are always we'll or
ganized and ready for new bust
ness, rendering the same service
at all times. Every student gets
individual instructions, he is not
held back by slow students or
crowded too fast by bright ones;
he goes just as fast as his ability
will permit. Should he happen
to be slow or backward in his
work, he is not embarrassed by
others knowing how he is getting
along. With our methods of in
diyidual instruction, and our
own copyrighted systems, we are
demonstrating that it is useless
to attend a commercial school
teaching other systems and re-
curing from:seven to ten months
to finish the course, when they
can finish with us in half the
time at half the cost, be more
efficient and get a better posi-
ton, because of their thorough
and extensive training. 1t is our
practical methods, our personal
attention and our modern sys-
tens that enable us to accom-
plsh so much in so shor, time.
Our literary subjects, which
are given free with our courses,
are woven into the main courses
in such practical way that they
are mastered in half the time
required by the old methods, and
are thoroughly understood from
practical application. We guar
antee a better course in less
time, at less expense, and a
better position than any other

der to win another victory in
1920
1t is ackno wledged by both
parties that the Women's vote in
the West reelected Woodrow
Wilson. This is but another H.
lustration of a we'll esta blished
fact And that is, that women
never become so bhndly parti-
san as to vote for party instead
of a man. The same woman who
voted for Hiram johnson, a Re
publican, in California voted for
President Wilson.
Within my memory we have
had but two Democratic presi-
dents and both of these have
been of such sterling worth and
fine ability that the Democratic
Party could safely challenge the
judgement of all the voters. We
must maintain our high standard
in selecting candidates and it is
not too early to think it over.
Sentiment is growing every
year in favor of the election of
president by popular vote. The
time is not far distant when this
will be done. Let US prepare.

Lively Times Among the ColOred
Folks

Last Saturday night some of
the colored people of this city,
got "fussy" among themselves,
and John Coleman slashed the
wife of John Hubbard across the
face with a knife, making an
ugly and hurtful wound. One of
the Wells negroes went cunning
for Butler Binns, recently par
doned from the penitentary,
with shotgun; but was over
hauled and checked in his mad
career before he could shoot.
These incidents will call for

NO END YET In SIGHT.

The European war has been IN
progress for more than two
whole years. and vet the end
seems no nearer in sight. There
is. apparently, no silver lining in
the war-cloud, which hangs
threatening and ominous over
the whole of Europe During
this continuation of the cruel
war millions of men, women and
children have been killed md
millions more have starved to
death. 1t is horrible to contem-
plate the calamitous situation,
but the Infatuated nations, at
war, seem to be entirely bereft
of reason, humanity or kindness
War-rlanes fly over cities and
drop bombs, regardless of where
they hit, and the universal re
ports of their damage are tina
m re defenseless women and
children are killed BY them than
others. and it is of the rarest oc-
curence that they ever damage
the men in arms, which is, at
this distance, an indication
that the pilots of these internal
murderous contraptions are
hunting innocent and unoffend
ing victims, instead of those who
are able to make show of de
tense.
Such cowardlv and unprec
edented m ade of warfare is a
lasting shame and disgrace to
any race or country; but there
seems no way to stop it. /
there is any civilization, chris.
tianits or humanity in the coun-
tries engaged in this numbering
ofinuocents it is high time a pro
test against it be raised 1t is a
CO vardly and despicable act for
a German TO drop bombs on a
French civilian and the same
thing for a Frenchman or Eng.
lishmen to drop them on Ger
man non-eombatants. 1t is
time the civilization of those
countries was asserting itself.

our frieudiness t o that people;
but this Government has deter
mined that its people must no
longer be harrassed and endan-
gered, by Mexicans, bandits or
otherwise. If President Carran-
"a can control the situation in
Mexico, and confine his cut
throats and hooters to his own
country, all will be well andgood;
but if he cannot, and permits
them to cross the intern ational
boundary line and murder the
men, women and children of this
country. then he may expect our
troops to clarity the situa ton.
President Wilson has long
been patient and forbearing with
Mexico, even so much so that he
has been severely criticised by
some very prominent Americans,
but the inducements to such a
course have been great Our
great President is an advocate
of peace, rather than war. With
him bloodshed should be the last
resort; and while he deplored the
unfortunate killing of Americans
by Mexicans as much as any
man could, he was charitable
enough not to lay the blame on
the Mexican Government of the
law-abiding Mexican people,
but placed it just where
it belonged, on the bandit ele-
ment of that distracted and war
riven country, and as a reason
able and sensible man, he pre-
ferred giving Mexico, itself, first
a chance to remedy the evils. If
Mexico fails to do this, then it
will be our time to act.
