To Consolidate Troops in the New
Positions They Have
Gained
BRITISH LOST PART
OF CAPTURED TOWN
Teutons Make Frequent Heavy
Attacks and Keep up Their
Efforts to Capture Verdun -
Germans and Russians Report
Gains on the Eastern Front

London, England-Halting af-
ter their initial rush, the British
and French are busy consolidat-
ing their positions on the field of
the new offensive in the western
front. The Germans have seem
mgly given the French ample
time to accomplish this objective
but the Teutonic attacks on the
British lines further north have
been heavy and frequent.
Under the German pounding
the British, while able to hold the
captured town of La Boiselle, lost
a portion of the defensive posi-
tions south of it. Still further
down the line, however, they cap
tured wood and some prisoners,
besides war material. More cap
lures of German men and mater
ial including two heavy cahbre
batteries are reported by the
French high command.
Meanwhile the Germans are
keeping up their attacks on Ver-
dun. Six successive assaults were
launched Monday night upon the
Thiaumont work which the
French recently recaptured but
Paris declares possession of the
entire position was retained. Gen
eral Nivelle's troops made pro-
gress near Fumin wood and the
IDamloup works.
On the eastern front Petrograd
ANNOUNCES a severe defeat for the
Austro-German forces west of
ILutsk, midway between Dubno
and Sokal, where the Russians
broke the Teuton s resistance
and pushed them towards the
west in the direction of the Cali
clan border.
Heavy forces have been thrown
into the allied lines south of the
S0mme in renewed attempts to
advance, the war office announc-
ed today, but all the assaults
were repulsed with heavy losses.
Russians Break German Lines
In AN attack on the forces of
Prince Leopold, the Russian war
office announces they have brok-
en- through two lines of German
defenses in the region of Baran-
oylchi. They captured 72 officers
I2,7O0 men, eleven guns and a
number of machine guns.
A notable victory for the Teu-
tonic forces in Galicia was an
nounced by the German war of
fice.. Southeast of Tlumach, by
Ia speedy thrust, Russians were
forced back on a front of more
than IL 1-2 miles to a depth of
more than five and one-quarter
miles.

Wet Argument Punctured

Federal officers who have been
quietly investigating in West Vir-
ginia say that there is in that
state marked reduction in the
use OF habit-forming drugs-co-
caine, opium, heroin and the like.
They declare that West Virginia
"a prohibition state-is living
up to the anti-drug law more rig
idly than any other state in the
Union. How is that for a reply
to the contention of the vets
that statewide prohibition of the
beverage liquor traffic invariably
increases the use of habit-forming
drugs?

The man who edits the average
newspaper must expect to be CEN
sured often for unintentional fail
ures; must expect to be called a
coward because he does not pitch
into everything that somebody
thinks is wrong, and a fool if he
speaks out too plainly on public
evils. He must expect to grind
other peoples axes-and turn
the grindstone himself. Still we
think it is one of the noblest pro-
feSsions on earth; the one in
which the earnest man can do the
most good to his fellow man and
IN which an honorable man can
WELD much power for good

Notwithstanding the fact that
this has been one of the worst
vegetable seasons ever had, yet
there have been shipped from the
state 40,608 car load this season.
This represents a value of some
fifteen or twenty millions of dol
lars, more than the entire citrus
fruit crop of the state. This a
mount will have to be greatly in
creased before the demands are
fully supplied. Lakeland Tele-

A number of counties in Flori-
da are talking tick eradication
strongly. Osceola county stock
men expect to have the county
clear of ticks in eighteen months.
Eleven watts are built and others
will be built within the next few
months. West Florida counties
are also carrying the work on
rapidly.

The Logic of Events

Objections to the adjustment
of the "poor man. s club" seem
to be satisfactorily answered by
the dry states. They prove that
the elimination of the "club" is
followed by the elimination of
the poor man.

The famous apple tree of Apo
matoX is preserved only in the mem
DRY and in the quatrain cited memoir
ably by Roscoe Conkling in the re-
publican national convention of 1880.
The village iself is falling and de-
caying. The winds and waters have
done their worst, and what they have
left is crumbling from human neg
lect. The quiet little county seat of
Appomatox county Numbered in OBJ
security till April 8, 1865, when it took
its place in history, to be remembered
henceforth in connection with the
great names of Lee and Grant and
the end of the lost cause.
Whether or not it be true. as a
memorial tablet records, that in APP
pomattox was fired the last volley'
there were so many last y0lleys"
as well as SO many youngest sol
diers of the civil war'-the place is
hallowed ground in the story of
America, and it is unpleasant to
know that fire and flood and yandal
hands and public indifference and
want of care have brought to the
edge Of desolation q spot whose name
SO appeals to north and south there

S. C. Planck, chat the regiment to
which l belonged, the 10th Ohio vol
unteers, was at Cumberland Gap,
Tenn, We were q part of Gen, De-
Courcey's command, and it was our
duty to keep an eye out for the Con-
Efederate General Longstreet's forces,
which were stationed along from Tas-
we'll south to Knoxville. John Coon,
member of q battery in our com
mand, was at this time on detached
service, being sent to MOttville,
Mich, our home, to recruit horses for
the artillery. We had fine team of
road horses at the time that had been
raised en- my fathers farm, We were
very fond of them and had taught
them some interesting tricks. Tom
was a bay, and Charlie was gray.
The latter was marked in the nose,
so that he could be easily identified.
While at Cumberland Gap l received
letter from my father, stating that
our horses had been stolen, and asked
me to be on the lookout for them,
Soon after receiving the letter re-
ferred to, | was standing near the
monument that marked the line that

it was noticed that there was no

up heavy grade. Approaching US q

teams belonged to my father, and Sc

latter said that it was broad asser

that the gray horse had a mark in

identification beyond the shadow Of
a doubt. AS to the other horse,
