From, Il. v. Il. s.

The Athletic association of the
Mo. Valley high school held a
meeting "Wednesday evening for
the purpose of electing officers
and appointing committees tN ryn
the several branches of athletics
in the high school.
The following officers were
elected and they will try their best
to make ATHLETICS great success:
President. Nm. Boulder.
Secretary. John Rae.
Treasurer, Prof. J. n. Culver.
Reporters, VIM. Johnson. Stan
ton McGayren.
Successful athletics can only he
obtained by q hearty cooperation
of the parents and business men
of Missouri Valley. The parents
should encourage their children
to enter into high school athlet-
les because it helps to keen them
strong and healthy and their
minds clear, thus making them
capable of doing better work in
their studies.
One cause for the lack Of win
ming teams in the NJ. Y. u. $. is
poor equipment that has been
available, hut with the advantages
Of our new high school building
and athletic field, We should have
much better results.
II the business men would
boost for the high school athlet-
les. ii would cost, the school dis
trict practically nothing, instead
of having to carry all the expense.
Although we lost some Of our
best players last year, we hope to
build up, team That will develop
more speed and endurance than
ever known before in the foot
hall history Of the Missouri VAL
ley high schQal.

New York, Feby. 23rd.-A News Agency
despatch from Washington published here
thus afternoon says The appearance of Pre-
sldent Wilson before Congress in the next
few days to- announce his desire to break off
dlplonatle relations with Germany was fore
casted this afternoon by high administrative
officials. 1hIs action is certain to follow, one
of1lclal SAID, II lntlmatlons coming from Ger
man sources are correct. These lutimations
are that the German Foreign Office is send
ing instructions to Ambassador Bernstorff
to play for further delay in the determine
ton of the "Lusitania' dispute, and for a long
discussion of technicaIities over the armed
merchantmen deer ee.
Washington, Feby. 23rd-Agitation in
Congress for action warming Americans off
armed ships of the European belligerents
suddenly grew to such proportions to-day
that the Democrats of the Foreign Affairs
voted to canvass the sentiment of
the House on several pending resolutions of
that nature. Sentiment in the Senate in
favour of some action also was openly ex-
pressed, but at the end of a day of tension
and agitation such as has not been seen in
Congress for some time, the word came that
President Wilson was unalterably opposed
to any such action by Congress, and be-
lleved that he would only be embarrassed
thereby in the negotiations with Ger
many. Two widely circulated suggestions
that the situation had reached a point
at which the President would soon Law
the matter before Congress, that Secretary
Lansing might in some way define the
attitude of the Government in a communica-
tlon to Senator Stone, and that a time had
been fixed within which the United States
would expect Germany to signify her inten-
ton to abandon the announced intention to
sink armed merchant ships without warning.
The statement was made officially that nolh-
ing had been determined upon, that the Sit
uatlon though grave still was waiting one.

communication reads: Il Belgium the de-

Steenstraete To the north Of the Aisne our
batteries shattered enemy organiza ions on
the plateau Of Vauclerc. In the region to
the north of Verdun the German attack, us
was foreseen, developed into Il very important
action for which powerful preparations We're
made. The battle continued to-day with
increasing intensity and was enprgeticullv
wlthstood by our troops who Inflicted ex-
tremely heavy losses on the enemy. The
bombardment with shells of heavy calbre
was uninterrupted, and our artillery respond
ed with equal violence. Il extended along a
front of nearly forty kilometres (25 mlIes)
from MaIiucourt as far as the region oppos-
lite Etain. The actions of the German infau-
try were carried out by very benvy effertives
comprising troops of seven diff rent army
corps who followed each other during the
course CT the day between Brabaut-sur-
Mtuse and Ormes. At the approach to the
village Of Haumon the eremy was not able,
Notwithstanding his efforts, to disIodge Us

which we hold the greater part, our counter
attacks stopped the enemy's offensive.

We're arrested by our counter attacks. There
was no infantry action on the left bank Of
the Mense nor between Ormes and Fromtzry.
In Alsace yesterday ut the end of the day
the enemy attacked our positions to the

Motion to Quash Indictments Alleges
Corrupt Practices Act Is
Unconstitutional.

Pittsburg. Pa. Dec. 4.--Section SO
OF the Federal Criminal Code. the So
called Federal corrupt practices act,
VIII be attacked rs unconstitutional
according to Attorney George E.
Shaw and County Solicitor Richard
w. Martina acting for seventy-two in
dfcted brewing corporations of Penn
sylvania. In United States District
Court the attorneys moved to quash
the l0l indictments returned by the
March Federal grand jury.
The motion to Quash. presented
with a demurrer against the indict-
ments. was handed to Judge w. s.
thompson in the presence Of United
States Attorney E. Lowry Humes, and
the orief proceedings reopened here
the government probe Of brewery
contributions to political campaigns
A DAY for argument on the motion
will be set by Judge Thompson later
in the week.
Messrs. Shaw and Martin, In the
motion to quash the indictments
maintained that section SO violates
the first amendment to the Constttu-
ton OF the United States, in that 1t
attempts to prohibit, mako criminal
and punish freedom of speech and of
the press in discussion of candidates
and OF political questions" In Federal
elections. and that Congress exceeded
Its power in attempting to prohibit
money contributions to political cam
paigns by corporations. The demur-
rer states that the indictments are
vague and do not describe a crime or
crimes alleged to have been COM
mitted.
Under section SO last March, fol-
lowing sensational proceedings, in
whnrh Hugh F. Fox. of New York,
secretary Of the United States Brew
ers' Association. was committed to
Jail FOR contempt, seventy-two brew
ing corporations, including eighteen
In Philadelphia and three in Pitts

gress were chosen. The local com
panies indicted are the Pittsburg, In
