Two Terms Enough
come

Mrs. Flo Carr, nominated by the
republicans for county treasurer,
was in Laclede for short while
calling on the voters last Saturday.
1t has been the practice for years
in this county to confine the treas
urer to Two terms and there should
be no exception to the rule this
year. The rule is a good one in
an Office so important as that Of
treasurer. The present encumbent
has held the customary two terms
and Mrs. Carr possessing splendid
qualifications her claims should be
given consideration not alone from
republicans but from all class of
voters. Perpetuation in a county
office is not good thing and it is
the duty of every voter to discour-
age it.

Hon. Leslie M. Shaw Coming

Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw, of Iowa,
ex-secretary of the treasury, will
speak in Laclede on the after
noon of Friday, October 81.
The national republican committee
has sent Mr.. Shaw into Missouri
for five speeches and Laclede gets
one of them. He is one of the
ablest and best speakers in the
campaign and one of the best
known men in public life today.
The mere announcement of his
coming should bring out a tre-
mendous crowd. Every republi-
can should tell his neighbor about
this meeting and urge him to

TINTED Press Dispatch.l

Washington, November 29.-The
torpedoing of the steamer Marina
with the loss of the lives of six Amer
cans bids far, it is feared, to open
anew with Germany the whole sub
marine controversy. 1t is believed
that Germany will be willing to dis
avow the act and make full repara-
ton for the American lives and prop
erty lost, but experts say that the
administration cannot consistently be
satisfied with this, as the torpedoing
itself is a violation of the agreement
between Germany and America on
the subject of submarine warfare.
The destruction of the Marina,
coming as it did not long before that
of the Chemung, is likely to result in
a serious problem. 1t is believed that
the Chemung is likely to result in
serious problem. 1t is believed that
the. Chemung incident by itself can
be settled as was that of the William
T. Frye, merely by financial ad-
justment But the Marina affair is or
a far more serious nature.

Fairmont, November 29.-J. Pierce
Lowell of Amboy was placed under
arrest Monday by Sheriff Carver
charged with having attempted the
life of his brother at his brothers
home near Truman last Thursday and
on Monday was arraigned in Judge
CANDLES court in this city.
The warrant on which Lowell was
arrested was for assault in the first
degree and charges him with having
attempted to kill his brother, G. H.

At preliminary hearing Tuesday
morning in Judge CANDLES court, the
accused man asked through his at
torney, J E. Palmer, for an adjourn
ment until Saturday, December 8, at
10 o'clock "a M, for the purpose OF
preparing the defense.
Lowell Given His Liberty.
Lowell was given his liberty on a
$4,000 bond, signed by Clifford e.
Jones of Fairmont and Henry Hinton
of Truman, the bond being approved
by Court Commissioner John Lowell.
The defendant had no trouble in OBJ
tanning sgners for the bond, there
being number of representative
Nashville and Winnebago citizens
present at the preliminary hearing
who were anxious to attach their
names as security for the amount re-
quired.
The opinion seems to be general
among those who are acquainted with
the parties that the charge against
Pierce Lowell is false and UNANIMOUSLY
unjust Lowell stands high among his
friends and neighbors and they fairly
swarmed the courtroom for an oppor-
tunity to go on his bond.

Most Complete Medical Organ
izaiion In the Army
FORMED IN SHORT Time
Best Facilities Are Afforded in
The Hospitals On the
Border

San Antonio, Tex, November, 90.
Within the last five months the
most complete medical organization
known to the United States army has
been developed to care for the $780,
900 state and regular troops sta
toned at border points and in Mexi-
co. The system includes five base
hospitals, located at strategic points
in the long stretch of border terri
tory; eight camp hospitals at other
points where troops are stationed a
cantonment hospital at Columbus,
n. M.,to serve the force on duty in
Mexico, and tweny-six ambulance
companies and forty-on field hospi-
tails distributed among troops in the
old. The base and camp hospitals af-
ford accommodation for a total of
1900 patients and have medical and
surgical facilities, equal to the finest
hospitals. Not more than half the beds
have been occupied at any one time
since the nations militia strength
was called into the federal service,
hut the room is available in case Of
need.
The Potential Organization.
Back of this array is the potential
organization. A hospital train of ten
Pullman cars, with a capacity of ESQ
patients, has been placed in use to
transport patients from the camp to
the base hospitals and from base
hospitals to general military hospit-
ais in various parts of the country,
should a campaign in Mexico be un-
dertaken. These larger institutions
are the Walter Reed hospital at

London, Nov. 29.-The operations
of the Teutonic allies in Roumania
are bringing them steadily nearer
Bucharest They are still progressing
from the north, west, south and south
west.
The northern bank of the Danube in
Roumania, extending westward from
Giurgiu, on the railroad south OF
Bucharest, to opposite Vidin, a short
distance from the Cerbian border, now
is in the hands of forces of the central
powers.
The capture of points in this region
by the Bulgarians would seem seri-
ously to menace the Roumanian
troops, from the Orsova and Turnu-
SEVERN sectors, who were reported
several days ago to be in retreat to
the southeast.
The occupation of Giurgiu brings
the line of Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen to within thirty-seven miles of
Bucharest on the south, while the
capture of Curtea de Argos, eighty
miles west of the capital, evidently
has cleared the Topolog sector OF
Roumanians.
Now Control Railway.
The invaders now hold the railroad
to the important town of Pitesck, the
junction of the line running from
10 n,p,,lupU RI RucharaSt
In the center Che TeutOnic allies are
still driving eastward, having left the
Alt valley in their rear.
The operations in Macedonia are
beclouded. Berlin says that north OF
Monastir renewed attacks by the en-
tente allies failed. while the Serbian
war office claims that in fighting along
the entire front the Serbs at several
points made advances of several hun
bred meters.
On the front in France and in the
Austro-Italian theater nothing but
bombardments have taken place
South of Dvinsk, on the Russian front
artillery duels have been in progress
Considerable activity also has devel
oped in the region of Riga. In the
Carpathians the Russians have begun
another attack against the Austro-Ger
mans and fighting now is proceeding
there.
Petrograd admits that the Turks
have occupied the towns of Adramet
and Koshishgly, south of Van in Turk
tsh Armenia.
