NO COMMENT IS MADE

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Aug. 49,
With Governor Major supposedly still
in Highland Park, Illinois, Acting
Governor William r. Painter today
said he would stand by his demand for
the resignation of President Samuel
McPheeters, of the st. Louis board Of
police commissioners and DR.. U. G..
Crandell and Joseph Mcdonald, at St.
Joseph. He was silent when asked
whether he would ask designations
from the commissioners at Kansas
City.
Painter, however, made it certain
he would not ask for the designations
OF other Major appointees in the state
house or throughout the state. Thus
far none of the requested designations
have been received at the state house,
despite the demand that they be sent
by wire.
Majors friends here "are up in the
air." according to their own state
ments but are confident "hell is going
to break loose when the boss gets
back to Missouri"
The lieutenant governor issued a
statement this afternoon in which he
said he was satisfied Governor Major
would not interfere with the new COM
missioners to be appointed in St.
Louis and st. Joseph.
Not to BE Disturbed.
Governor Major and have not
talked over the matter" said Painter,
but you don't think I'd make any
such changes if had any reason to
believe the governor would over-rule
me in short time? My appcintees
will not be disturbed. Take that as
a hint and write what you please"
Colonel C. G. Butler, of Governor
Majors staff. manager of the Ameri-
can hotel was appoined by Painter to
succeed McPheeters.
Refuses TO Quit.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, AIg. 1S.-Samuel
McPheeters. who was ordered to re-
sign as police commissioner by act
ing Governor Painter. refused to quit
his post. McPheeters announced this
afternoon none but Governor Major
could fire him.
Local politicians were free In an
nonucing deposal of the. commits
sioners here and in St. Joseph was
due to the fact that the police forces
in those cities failed to support Atchi-
son 1OT the SuDeTudlCTidl uOIuludIlOu

HEAVY COMMANDMENT

PARIS. Aug. 1s.-By a powerful
attack on the northeast front of Yer
dun last night the French completely
recaptured the village of Fleury,
driving the Germans from that part
OF the village which they still held,
it was officially announced today
The Germans still retain few
ruins outside and east of the village
near the Chapitre forest. The French
also advanced west of the town be-
tween Thiaumont and Fleury, taking
fifty prisoners.
The French blow was struck on the
17sth day OF the great battle for the
fortress city. 1t was preceded by q
terrific 'bombardment and heavy
curtain fire that prevented the Ger
mans from bringing up reserves.
Clinging desperately to the northeast
ern houses of the town, the Germans
vainly attempted to stem the French
advance with machine guns. Violent
combats occurred in the streets of the
ruined village before the Germans
withdrew.
On the Somme front the Germans
last night made their first attempt to
recapture positions taken by the
French In Wednesdays advance
around Maurepas. At the same time
the Germans were delivering heavy
attacks against the British around
Pozieres. fighting broke out along the
French front southeast OF Maurepas,
where violent artillery fighting con-
tinued throughout yesterday. The
French not only repulsed the German
attacks but made some prisoners. No
engagements of Importance occurred
south of the Somme or elsewhere on
the French front. South Of Belloy-
En-Santerre the French found four
machine guns in trench captured
in Wednesdays attack.

tin.Le-Petit, entering German trench
portions in small local enterprises.
General Haig reported this afternoon
These trenches were found to be
greatly damaged and full of enemy
dead.

Health Man
Closes School
HamakuapOkO Grammar In UnSanitary
Condition Declares Inspector 0sm-
erS-Action BackedByDr. Pratt =
Trouble Laid To Cox Kalama Feud

Board of Health Inspector Osmers
ordered the Hamakuapoko grammar
school closed on the opening day of
the term last Monday, because he de-
clared it was not in a sanitary condi-
ton. The school has been closed ever
since and will remain so for several
weeks unless the county authorities
take immediate steps to put it into a
condition satisfactory to the health in
spector.
Osmers claims that the county auth
critics have had fully three months to
make the necessary changes at the
school, but have neglected doing So
Warning in reference to the unsanit-
AIRY condition of the school was issued
as far back as six months ago. He
claims that he has received orders
from DR.. Pratt, head of the territorial
board of health, to take any action he
sees fit regarding the school.
"The school will not open with my
consent until it is placed in just as
sanitary condition as the High School,
where mostly the children of the
wealty attend. But the county author
ties seemto be Indifferent about the
condition of the grammar school
NhSiN hiOol VI IlC pupllo dtt eli
of poor people," Osmers says.
Continuing he explained that patent
toiNets had been purchased for the
school six months ago and that the
building had been ready to have them
installed for three months. The fail
ure to install the toilets isattributed
to the feud between Engineer Cox
and County Chairman Kalama.
Whatever the cause, several hun
dred children are being kept away
rom their classes and the teachers
are looking forward to the extra work
they will have to undergo to make up
the school work which is now being
missed, although the children are
known to not be voicing any objection
to the unexpected extension of their
vacation.
Besides the Hamakuapoko grammar
school, the board of health man says
that there are number of teacher S
cottages in a pitiful condition.
The territorial education depart
meEt is in no wise responsible for the
upkeep repair and sanitation of the
schools. The fault, if there is fault as
now seems evident, rests entirely upon
the county supervisors.

Skirts Do Not
Fool Sentryman
Militiaman On Patrol Disguised As
Woman Is Quickly Stopped During
Night Maneuvers By Enemy Outpost
Guard Has Novel Drill

For the past two months. the local
militia officers have been taking up
instruction in map-drawing, sketching,
patrol and outpost duty, at the officers
school, in charge of Sergeant-In-
structor Wetzel
Last Monday evening, problem
was laid out by the instructor for the
officers and noncommissioned officers
and company x of Kahului under Capt.
VIM. Walsh. The officers and non
CONS representing a battalion were
stationed in the Puunene Park
grounds which Capt. Walsh was to
locate and attack.
Capt. Walsh, representing the en-
emy, marched company X up Pune
ne Avenue and took station at the
school house. The problem for him
was to locate the position of the
battalion headquarters. He at once
gave the proper orders and sent out
accommodating patrols in different
directions.
In one of these, Sergeant Smythe,
was dressed as a woman in order to
deceive the outposts, but was captur-
ed and turned over to Capt. Lufkin in
command Of the support. Capt. Walsh
did all that could possibly be done to
get the necessary information but
found it impossible to get through the
line of outposts. Capt. Luflin had
been over the ground the day before
and was able to so station his outposts
that it was impossible for the enemy
to get through without being captured
The main object of the maneuver
was to teach the officers patrol and
outpost duty. Capt. Walsh had 60
had about the same number of officers
and noncoms.
