TRY FOR FLANKING
FIRE ON DEAD MAN
Emperor william Reported to Have
Returned to Front to "WitnesS Final
Assault" on Verdun, "NOw
About to Begin"

Paris, March 22-After a lombard
ment carried on with great violence
for the entire day, the German army
of the crown prince this afternoon
stormed and captured French posi-
tons on Haucourt hill, in the thanking
movement against Dead Mans hill.
The German advance on the slope
of Haucourt is admitted by the
French war office which, however, re-
ports that their attempts to debouch
from Avacourt wood, captured on the
previous day, were repulsed.
The latest German move marks an
attempt to cut the Verdun-Paris rail-
road and win positions for a thanking
fire against the French in the Dead
Mans hill region. This region is
regarded as one Of the most import
ant, from a strategical standpoint, on
the front.
Advices received today state that
Emperor William has returned to
the Verdun front ito witness the final
assault On the fortress, which is now
about to begin"
The German assault in the Melan-
court sector marks the fifth drive
north of Verdun. The previous at
tacks were respectively those at Bra
bant Douaumont, Pepper Hill and
Dead Mans hill. :
Tho same disregard for human life
is characterizing the present attacks
as those in.sthe other sectors. Ac-
cording to prominent military crit
ic, the latest German attempt has re-
suited in an advance of about a mile
over a front of mile and one-third.
The midnight official statement de-
scribes Haucourt as ''small knoll"
It was referred to as "Haucourt hill"
in the afternoon statement which said
violent fire was being directed
against the position.

huahua as an extremely grave de-
velopment in the Mexican situation.

vealed the real design Of villa when
he crossed the border and attacked
Columbus. N. NJ. ,
At the same time the report WINS
circulated that he planned to get all
Of northern Mexico with him to force
Intervention by the United States.

affair has developed @ he planned II.

dictated that they were unable 20
speculate as to what other Carranxa
organ zataons will join with villa in

Every enterprise intended for
the benefit and upbuiIding of a
community should have the sup
port of all right thinking people
of the community. The idea of
some people that any enterprise
must start through them or have
their sanction is wrong and is
not in accord with the principles
of our government, which guar
antees freedom to all of it's citi-
zens. Time alone will tell
whether an enterprise will prove
a success or a failure, and many
such failures can find the reason
for their lack of success in the
lack of faith shown by the peo-
pie of the community in which
they were started. 1t was not
that the enterprise was too far in
advance of conditions or the
community was not adapted to it,
but that it was not given a fair
trial and insurmountable difficult
ties were placed in its path by
those who really should have
given it support. Let this not be
the case in Cottonwood or other
towns of central Idaho. Let each
community stand united behind
every enterprise for the develop
ment of home products or the
betterment of home conditions
and our part of the great state
of Idaho will advance at a place
that will cause our neighboring
localities to pause in bewilder-
ment.
