London, Nov. 20.-The fall
of Monastir on the anniversary
of its capture by the Serbians
from the Turks is hailed by
London papers as of consider
able political and military i'm
portance. 1t is argued that as
Bulgaria's main object in en-
tering the war was the posses
sion of Macedonia, the loss of
the Macedonian capital must
give the Bulgarians a sense of
failure, while Serbia, it is fur
ther contended, will be greatly
encouraged by the city's fall.
With Monastir again occu-
pied by the Serbians, to whom
is given the greater share of
credit for the capitals capture,
some military experts now ex-
pect the entente forces under
General Sarrail to advance
along the road to Prilep, fol-
lowing this up with a thrust to-
ward Megotin on the Vardar,
so as to outflank the Bulgarians
and open up the frontier passes
northwest of Saloniki.
Paris today says, the allied
troops have been completely
successful on the Macedonian
front, from the river Cerna to
Lake Presba.
Berlin announces that the
German formations have now
reached the Macedonian front.
Berlin reports the repulse of
the British on the Somme front,
the checking of the Serbian ad-
vance in the Moglenica region
of Macedonia and the repulse
of the Rumanians near Campu-
lung.
Petrograd admits a further
Rumanian retirement in the
jul Valley.

Thought He Had Committed Murder.

Thought He Had Committed Murder.
Late Saturday night negro called
Sheriff Garrett and informed him
that he had shot another darkey and
wanted to surrender to the authori-
ties. He was taken to the Jail and
when being examined by the sheriff
as to the circumstances surrounding
the case, Mrs. Garrett arrived upon
the scene and for moment was an
interested listener. After the fright
ened negro had recounted in great
detail how the other coon" had died.
Mrs. Garrett informed her husband
that the supposed deceased was a
rather lively corpse as he had been
to their home but few moments be,
fore to seek the services of the
sheriff and wanted to have the sup
posed murderer. who was reciting de.
tails arrested. The negro was rather
elated to find that instead of
charge of murder being lodged against
him 1t would probably be a case of
plain assault with a deadly weapon.

Good Road Work.

Persons who have recently been
over the road between Milo and
Graham along Bear creek bottom
say that the prettiest road building
ever done in the county is being done
there now and they give great credit
TO Commissioner George Evans for
the good judgment he is using in
this piece of road construction. The
road is used by those who visit the
Fox district over the northern route

JAPANESE PRESS is
MAKING PROTEST
Objection to Being "Muzzled' After
Too Many Seizures of Editions
on Order of Government

Toxic. June MISUNDERSTANDING of the
Associated Press.)-Frequent suppressions
of the editions of Japanese newspapers
recently on the ground that they con-
tanned articles inimical to public welfare
have aroused the indignation of the press
throughout the country. The government
is being severely attacked for attempts
to muzzle the press and stifle the right
of free speech
The matters which caused the seizure
of the editions were, first, comment on
the trial of the men accused Of throwing
bombs at Premier Count Okuma and, sec
ond, the opinions of Towitoshi Taketomi
the minister of finance, on the recent
economic conference at Paris.
The articles on the Okuma case were
simply reports of the closing court adj
dresses of the lawyers of the accused.
The copies of one or two newspapers
which published verbatim report of the
arguments were Immediately seized and
burned. 1t is understood that the lawyers
bitterly arraigned the government for
alleged unconstitutional acts and in the
course of the plea for a verdict of inno-
cence or, at least, light sentence, sought
to justify or explain the act Of the ac-
cused by blaming the present state of
society in Japan. The lawyers claimed
LnaL aSSdSSlnatlOnS or attempted Outra SeS
resulted from intolerable social condi-
lions.
In the interview with Mr.. Taketomi,
the minister was quoted as doubling the
efficiency of the recent economic confer
epce.
Count Okuma blames the newspapers
for the suppressions. He told Japanese
Journalist that the press should always
be guided by desire to print only what
Is for the food Of the nation, and that
on two recent occasions they had printed
matter which might prove harmful. He
said: owing to the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war and it's effects upon this en-
pire, great changes occurred in the con-
dition at home and our relations abroad
New, unheard of phenomena rose in in
ternational politics. The relations of the
entente powers became closer than ever
so, every word we utter and every
action we take now affects the commu-
nifty of interests among the entente pow
ers. These words and actions on our
part, If nisinterpreted are bound to pro-
duce suspicious among the powers with
whom we are allied in this war The
people of Japan must be very careful
of what they say or do What they
say or do must be guided by considera-
tons of the welfare Of the nation"

BIC BANQUET IS

PreS't Elliott of New Haven
Attacks Federal Railroad
Valuation Law.

NEW YORK. Feb. %. - The an
nuaI banquet of the members of the
trust company section of the Amer
lean Bankers association here Fri
day night was attended by bankers
and representative men from all
parts OF the country. The principal
speaker was Howard Elliott, presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad.
Prest Elliott speaking on the fed
eral railroad valuation law declared
this law will cost the railroads Of
the country and the government
from 100000 TO 100000 600 and
the New Haven alone between $780,
900 and 100000.
This is such a large sum-" he
said, that the question may well be
asked, Why does the country en-
gage in this work, and could not the
same amount of money have been
spent to better advantage for the
countless improvements needed on
the railroads. "
Pres't Elliott admitted that in the
creative work of producing 100000
miles OF railways. mistakes had been
made in financing and methods of
management, but added that railway
owners and managers had learned
much in the last 20 years.
The country, continued Mr. Elliott,
having encouraged private individu-
ais 10 invest their funds in public
utilities. and having imposed on
those investors the risk Of loss,
should give them any rewards of sue
cess in management and allow them
to have some return upon the in
creased value Of their investments.

viii Relieve
Car Shortage

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Steps TO re-
lieve the car shortage on western
railroads have been taken by the
American Railroad association. ac-
cording TO an announcement by that
organization Friday.
The car service commission Of the
association az a recent meeting in
New York found that there is a
general shortage OF box cars for the
movement OF grain in the territory
west of Chicago from the twin cities
on the north 10 st. Louis and Kansas
City on the south and extending
westward beyond Colorado.
That shortages are reported from
several sources on the Pacific coast,
including California and Oregon and
on the Mobile and Ohio railroad.
There is also a shortage Of coal cars
In the Alleghenies.
That while these shorta ges exist
there is freight congestion in New
England. around New York and
other Atlantic seaports.'
The principal causes for this sit
uation, the car commission found
were:
J. The increase in exports from
the Atlantic ports; the commander
ing Of foreign vessels by the coun-
tries at war; the shipment OF NUM-
tons without due regard to wheth-
CT there We're vessels for it. " and the
closing Of the Panama canal.
2. Industries east of the Allie
ghenies. especially in New Eng
land, have attempted TO handle in
creased shipments Of raw material
without increasing their facilities.
g. The fear Of a coal strike.
April /, has caused every one to
buy as much coal as he can with
out regard TO the amount he can
unload"
4. The whole situation has been
made more difficult by the snow
sleet and rain storms about New
York.
