MISS VERA WHITE

On July 25th, at her home, our dear sister, Vera. came to vic- torious death. She was born Jan. 5th, 1894 and died July 25th 1916. She was saved at about the age of 16. Some years later she was gloriously sanctitied and lived a most sweet and beautiful life until Jesus called her to live with him. While we are left sad and lonely yet we rejoice to know that she is free from all pain, sorrow and disappointment of this life and has joined the angelic choir, where all is peace, joy and happiness. Oh! how we miss dear Vera, but through a mist of tears we look up and say. Thy will be done.
 On Friday afternoon, before she went to glory early the next Tuesday morning, she played the organ and sang her favorite songs; He'll take you thru, ," and There's nothing in the world like Jesus. "
 Oh! how we will miss her sweet voice and presence in our homes. It is with aching hearts that we give her up, but we eX- pect to meet he- again where there IS no more sad partings, no farewell tears are shed.
 May God he D all those that are not prepared to meet death, to give their hearts 10 God for death is surely coming to alL and blessed are they that die in the Lord.
 Fur eral services were cDnduct- ed by Rev. John White. Inter- ment in Caney cemetery to await the resurrection morn

COAST FANS WATCH
 OAKLAND 3. 3. CLUB
Republican A. P. ceased Wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 13.-Base- ball enthusiasts of the Pacific coast are watching with interest the future of the Oakland baseball club under the leadership of its new proprietor Del Howard, who a few years ago managed the San Francisco team of the Pacific Coast League.
 Not even the most optimistic sup poIters of the Oakland team are will ing to accord 1t chance of winning the penuant this season. It is so far behind that it will require something akin to a miracle to advance it even into the first division.
 Differing from his predecessor, Harold 'RowGy" Elliott who was an easv going manager, Howard is reekOned a strict disciplinarian who takes the game seriously. Coast base ball players are aware of thefact that the general opinion seems to be that ihe Oakland players are likely to take decided brace Howard has shown That ne plays no favorities and mem bers of the club who show any in- clination Co take things easy are like iy to hold their jobs only a short time
 The new Oakland boss has given no intimation what he intends 10 do and whether his club is due for a shakeup or not. lie has made no move and it Is inferred he is assuming watching. waiting" attitude until he sizes up the personnel
 Opinion seems to lean to the theory that he will do the best he can for the remainder of this season. and that with It's close. he will start an active campaign for new material with which to start 1917. Howard is favorablS known among the managers of eastern teams and it Is believed he will fine no difficulty in getting good men witt which to build up a satisfactory base. ball machine.

then charged across the open space to be caught by both British gun and ma chine gun fire. Some forty survivors who got to the trenches held up their hands when the Australians called to them to come in.
 British guns are screened behind the conquered slopes of Pozieres ridge. while from the crest the British are able to see all the way to Bapaume. Thus exposed, the German guns have been gradually retiring for once the British locate a German battery they go after 1t with a concentration of fire, like a pack of hounds after cor nered fox.
 The British are hammering every village on the way to Bapaume and Ba- paume itself and at the same time their superior numbers of aeroplanes con- tinue dropping bombs on the same targets that the artillery bombards. Wherever the Germans are quartered they are subjected night and day to this nerve wrecking bombardment. A British artillery commander has only to say:
 Put twenty rounds of eight-inch into Courcellette" or "a couple of sal vos of twelve-inch into Thiepval," or we might as well stop that working party digging in Martinpuch for the evening"" and away go messengers roaring like railroad trains through the air with their tons of explosives.
 We don't make any changes in the map this way" said gunner but as a matter of bookkeeping in casualties the balance is all in our favor. It softens things up for the infantry be- fore they attack. It Is as demoraliZing as continuous nightmare, and explains why the Germans can put no more spirit into their counter attacks"
 As some illustration of the power oi artillery fire when the shells are ample and the guns numerous, 1t is estimated that during last week the Germans in the Somme battle area had 15,000 casu- alties for mortar fire and gun fire alone.

another heat wave has come. For four weeks there has been no rain except a slight shower now and then.
 The ground is parched with the drought and the leaves are beginning to fall from trees at some places. One result of the widespread shell fire over a great depth of the German front whether twelve-inch shells into distant villages or 1S-pounders into the front line. and support trench. is to prevent the Germans from bringing water, as well as food up to thirsty men, penned Jp in trenches of burning hot earth in this fierce August weather. Most of the villages this side of Bapaume are filled with debris of houses which the British shell fire has battered down.
 A thing most noticeable is how little ice is supplied each to the British or the French army where it is found only in hospitals.
 The common use of ice is habitual to northern people, yet it is surprising that the heat prostrations are so few.
