1Eu7oNIc GAINS CONTINUE

Infantry Engages in Hand to Hand
Struggles, Grenade Fighting and
Mining Operations Play a Promi
nent Part and Airmen Battle Above
the Lines.
London, Feb. 15.-The whole west
ern fighting front is the scene of en-
gagements.
At some points the guns have been
roaring necessarily for days, the in
fantry has been engaged in hand to
hand struggles; grenade fighting and
mining operations have played a prom
inent part in the battles, while airmen
have fought each other above the
lines and have been cannonaded from
below by aircraft guns.
The Germans followed up their re-
cent success in Champagne by the
capture of an additional half mile of
French trenches around failure, in
that district, and the artillery bonn
bardments in the neighborhood of Mas
siges and Navarin have been answer
ed in kind by the French.
In upper Alsace the Germans turned
loose their guns on trenches the
French had captured from them, but
the French during the night had evac-
uated them and the Smelling did no
other damage than to shatter the en-
placements.
Seventeen fights in the air is the
record of Sunday, reported officially
by the British along their lines in
Flanders.
In addition there has been great ac-
tivity south of Labasse canal. where
the Germans exploded seven mines.
Heavy bombardments and an infan-
try attack in that section also is re-
ported, the Germans succeeding in en-
tering a British trench. They were
driven out almost Immediately.

ed the argument this morning for the
granting of the writ, taking the posi-
ton that the law was imperative.
that the provisions of the act could
not be carried out and were 1mpos-

quired judges and clerks of election

make it impossible to conduct an

assume that any judge or clerk of

way to Judge Morehouse of Reno,

Suggested by the militant tactics
OF Mabel Vernon in interrupting the
remarks of President Wilson to the
delegates Of the Federation or Labor
at their convention the early part OF
this month. Senator Thomas OF Col
orado made the following comment
which will undoubtedly be endorsed
by % per cent OF the suffragists OF
Nevada. at the session OF the United
States senate on July 5th, as taken
from the Congressional Record:
Mr.. President, on yesterday the
president OF the United States ad-
dressed the American Federation OF
Labor, the occasion being the dedi-
cation of the new building OF that

was interrupted by member OF the
