YELLowER THAN YELLOW.

It gives an excruciating pain to the
average country publisher to see the
false and misleading statements that
are sent out regarding national and mil
itary affairs by some of the yellow
daily papers of the country.
They are so false and misleading that
the devil himself would blush from
shame if he were compelled to assume
their authorship. And yet this aggre-
CATION of conglomerated bunk is swal-
lowed by the public without murmur
of protest.
If this paper, or any other self-re-
specting. country paper, were to dis.
seminate such falsehoods, perversions
and absurdities the editor would soon
be invited to move on, for the public,
we have learned, looks for truthfulnesz
in the country press.
just why this Doubt standard il
eountenanced and encouraged is more
than we can say. But it is so.

JURY AcoUirs MRS. MoHR.
Two Negroes Whom She was Accused

Providence, r. Mrs. Elizabeth T.

Victor Brown and Henry H. Spellman,

tual killing, were found guilty.

mitted an assault on Miss Emily Bur-
ger with intent to kill. Miss Burger

on the night he was attacked. Brown
and Spellman are accused of actually
firing the shots at Miss Burger, while

has proved that there is no end

plays. 1t is to the credit of A. 6.
Delameter. he Of the Beverly Of
Graustark", ard other successful
plays, who first saw the possibil-
tiles OF Mrs. Porter's work, and
now it stands as one OF the sub.
stantial successes of the past
decade OF theatrical history. This
is not a surmise, a f1imsy prog
nostication, or the exaggeration
ot the press agent, but an absol-
ute certainty. 1t has been tried
and dramatic writer of world
wide reputation has said like
maj jority of the critics: 1T is
far to prophesy that "Freckles",
the play, will attain a popularity
equal to that OF the novel" and
it will not be out of place to state
that the novel has had over a
million readers. 1t has proved
the best seller of all the best sell
ers OF the past ten years.
Mr.. Delamater has given Free.
kles" a perfect stage investiture.
and there Will be found nothing
wanting in the matter of scenery,
accessories or cast; it is.up to the
required standard of Delamater
production, and that should he

COMMANDMENT NEAR DORIAN
BELIEVED TO BE PRELUDE OF
ADVANCE BY TEUTONS.
On Franco-Beloian Front the French
Artillery Continues Its Activity
German Airship Attack
on Ovinsk.

London.-The long looked for often
sive of the Teutonic allies against Sa-
loniki may now be on or near at hand
An agency dispatch from Saloniki re-
ports that an artillery duel has been
in progress for two days near Doiran,
where strong forces of the central
powers for some time have been fac
ing the positions of the entente allies
Such bombardment might well be
the prelude to an advance movement
by the Teutons and their allies, which,
according to recent reports from the
Balkans, was set for about the middle
Of the present month, but which may
even now be in progress.
According to the message through
entente sources, reporting the open
ing of the bombardment, the British
heavy guns were dominating those Of
the Germans and Bulgarians opposed
10 them.
Elsewhere along the many fighting
lines Of the widespread war field few
operations of Importance have been
recorded. On the Franco-Belgian front,
the French artillery continues it's &C.
tivity, the bombardment being intense
Id the Champaign and the Argonne.
Berlin reports cases Of sporadic activ-
ity By infantry, one instance being re-
ported south of La Basse canal, where
the British are declared to have been
repulsed when ore of their detach-
ments attempted an advance, while
south of the Somme, where the Ger
mans made gains only recently. the
French were beaten off in hand gre
made attack. In the Vosges the Ger
man guns have been bombarding
French positions.
Few reports of pronounced activity
come from Russia of Galicia, Ger
man airship attack on Dvinsk being
the only incident in this war theatre
mentioned in the German communica-
ton.
Along the lines where the Austrians
and Italians are engaged the deadlock
shows no signs of being broken. Ger
man reports declare the Italians are
