CAPTURE GERMAN TRENCHES

Paris,-More German defenses in
the Vosges Mountains were added by
the French to the trenches captured
by them in the last few days.
Terrific fighting marked the battle
for MISUNDERSTANDING and the
struggle is fast developing into one of
the big operations of the war.
After preparation by an intense
cannonading in which guns of all cali
bre were employed, the Germans made
several counter-attacks in an effort TO
recover lost ground. The troops came
to grips in the open, and the Kaiser's
forces, although fighting with the ut
most determination, were repeatedly
driven back, yielding each time o
little more than they did before.

London.-Hard battles were fought
by the vast Russian force which is
pressing the new campaign of the Car
In Bessarabia, and the attacks covered
a front of 300 miles, from the Pripet
River to the Rumanian border.
The initiative over a distance of
100 miles on the Volhynian and Cali
l fronts is firmly on the side of
the Russians, who seem to be securely
established across the Styr River north
OF Czartorysk. They have captured
the village of Khriask, three miles
from the river.

forcements into the region, and al

London observers assert the Bessa-

OF the Central Powers and their allies
across the Balkans.
Both the Central Powers and Russia
have been for months trying to infu-
ence Rumania to intervene on their
sled. Russian, having failed to obtain
Rumanian consent to drive through her
territory for an invasion of Bulgaria,
sent the large army which had been
massed in Bessarabia to the Galician
front, with the object, it is believed,
OF winning over King Ferdinand by

At Odds On Auto Law.

Because of the different interpreta-
tons of the motor vehicle law by Chief
of Police Cleary of this city. and State
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles DILL
a clash between these two officials is
expected. Chief Cleary has decided
to deal leniently with those automo-
bile drivers who have not ~yetreceixaSu
1916 licenses and he has INSTRUCT
the police to make no arrests for t
offense. The Chief says that tNVV
motor vehicle department was Sc con-
gested Friday that many motorists
were unable to obtain their LICENCES.
Commissioner Dill, however, takes
the position that he has fairly warned
all of the a~utomobilists of the State
and he told them not to leave the
matter of obtaining new licenses until
the last minute. Although Mr.. Dill
has not learned of Chief Cleary's at
titude his previous statements are
taken to mean that he will insist that
the law be strictly enforced. officials
in other parts of the State are said to
be enforcing the law rigidly.

SUNDAY FOR pREpAREDN|
Says He's "For Wilson, for whateJer
He Wants."
Especial Trenton CorrespondenceJ


Especial Trenton COrrespondence1
Trenton.-The first appearance OF
Evangelist Billy Sunday in the Tren-
ton Tabernacle, where he Is to con-
duct a seven-weeks' religious cam
paign, wal marked by a deviation
from his religious subject long enough
to declare that he believed in pred
paredness with a capital "P." The
baseball preacher first threw an arm
in the air, and then a leg. Balanced
or the sole of his left foot, a stunt
peculiarly his own, he shouted 81 am
not a Democrat, but / will stand for
anything that President Wilson wants,
and l am not a Democrat-don't for
get that"
The declaration in favor Of prepar-
edness came during Sundays discus
sion of the patriotism Of Americans,
the prosperity of the country and the
h~eaven-sent blessings bestowed on the
United States, which was a part or
his morning discourse. He declared
that if anything happened to n of
the Ambassadors of the United States
lAO lId11cpOl u WOutQ OO Idll11CQ W tlSM
rails, and all Europe would tremb3
"Yes; and we would wipe some Of
them from the map" he shouted.
Sundays plea for preparedness was
repeated at the afternoon service,
when he said he stood for the real
thing in preparedness-big guns and
the men to man them. His subject
on this occasion was appropriate to
the injection of the preparedness talk,
because he spoke upon Gods Grena-
diers." In showing that the religious
life called for Gods g~renadiers he
used as a smile the fact that the ma
ton also needed soldiers to fight its
battles, and here the patriotic plea
was made.
Sunday spoke of the European war
during the night service, and said he
would not pray to God that the war
should be ended. Don't you dare
stand up and say God has nothingtto
do with wars" he said. How do you
know God doesn't mean for the Allies
to punish Germany for the miserable
heresy that crawls out of Leipsic and
Heidelberg? How do you know that
he doesn't mean for Germany to pun
ish Russia for Russia's persecution of
the Jews God won't stand for the
persecution of the Jews. How do you
know God doesn't mean for Germany
to punish France for Frances tearing
down of the monasteries? 2"
Sunday said that although he would
consider it a wonderful honor he would
not accept an Enthusiastically If offer
ed him by the President.

the meeting was called. Mrs. John
Weber was elected President, Miss
Dorothy Nebergall, Secretary and Mrs
V. J.. Carothers, Treasurer. A cas-
ual glance at the list of Vice Pres
idents, however, might indicate that
the word democratic in the club

M'G|LL DEFEATS ELY
IN GR|D|ROA CLASH

There was a dark speck on the
armament in Ely last week just be-
fore the post luncheon fracas at the
baseball park. which could be more
properly designated as the formal
opening of the football season.
J. Saunders. a lad of shady hue. is
a student in the public school at
McGilI. He has no side line. He just
applied himself in the aforesaid con-
fict to registering II points for the
smoke eaters. That's all. He just
makes %touchdowns. The final score
was McGill, 81; Ely, IL.
Something might be said of Ely's
fumbles but it's better to stick to
Chocolate Saunders.
And lest it be said that those who
felt that the cup of bitterness had
! overflown for the local delegation,
let one thing be mentioned. 1t was
a beautiful afternoon for the clash.
The smelter delesation collectively
and individually may be classified as
follows:
ID Things they don't know about
football would fill the following IL
brary: DIR. Eliot's five foot shelf.
Admitting therefore that they don't
know much more than the law allows,
the additional statement must be
made that they are humdingers at
delivering what little they know.
If melancholy was a blade of grass.
Ely would be a bale of hay. The
localists in football toys demonstrated
that they are the Joe Grimms of the
gridiorn. Frequent displays of in
efficiency when they were in the
shadows of the goal posts cost them
the possibilities of victory on more
than one occasion.
Sam Teeter. wearing an Ely uni
form. ran so yards through a broken
field in the third quarter for a touch
down. Macart's work was also de-
serving of commentator. He scored
the remaining touchdown.
Having submitted all of which to
Mr.. and Mrs. Public. to say nothing
of Little Publics and poor old Pro
Bono Public. the grand daddy of them
all. the SCHENECTADY author of
these lines takes upon himself to de-
clare that the visitors outclassed Ely
in every department of the college
game.

DEMOCRATS DISCUSS
POLITICAL ISSUES

Among the arrivals in the district
last Thursday night were Senator
Key Pittman, accompanied by Mrs.
Pittman; e. L. Game, of Elko, can
didate for representative in congress;
Judge Sanders, of Tonopah. candidate
for Justice of the Supreme Court and
William Kenneth, candidate for Clerk
of the Supreme Court. The candi-
dates were preceded by Mrs. H. H.
Clark, of Reno and Mrs. John +.
George, who arrived early in the
week and devoted their time to the
organization of the Wilson-Pittman-
Game Democratic club. Arrange
ments were then made for the re-
eeption of gentleman who were to
follow and at the train they were
met by a string of automobiles filled
With their admirers and the pro-
Icession to the Northern Hotel was
headed by the boys band. On Thurs
day evening all the candidates adj
dressed the Woman's Club and Mrs.
John F. Weber, the newly elected
President acted as Chairman. OF
course the topic of discussion was
suffrage, and there was a fair number
of men who attended the meeting to
hear particularly the views of Senator
Pittman and the reply that he might
have to make to the attack made up
on his position with regard to the
Susan p. Anthony amendment. Sen
ator Pittman devoted most of his
time to the reading of correspon-
dence addressed to him by Miss Ann
Martin as head OF the Woman's Party
in this state which he said he felt
made his position clear and indicated
that Miss Martin must have consider
ed him as a friend of the great suf-
frage movement.
The candidates devoted their time
the day to a hand to hand
and on Friday night a well
attended meeting was held in Bio
Hall, at which Senator Pittman was
the principal speaker. He occupied
hours and in glowing terms re-
the history of the Democratic
administration at Washington during
the past four years. Judge Sanders
the first speaker, and in his jov-
Ial n prepared the way for the
Senator's Grafton and closed by an
appeal not to forget Sanders. vii
lam Kennett when introduced said
he had been asked some ques-
ions regarding his qualifications for
the office of Clerk of the Supreme
Court and his attitude toward labor,
which he thought it would be well
to answer in public. He then re-
to has long experience as a
Court Reporter and gave his record
while in the employ of the great
labor organizations of the country.
F.. Game vas the last speaker, and
heartily endorsing the admins
and pleading support to the
policies of the President in the event
of his election, he won favor by de-
that should he be chosen as
congressman, and should Mr.. Hughes
be the choice of all the peo-
pie he would accept him not as the
President of a party but the Pres
idnt of all the people and treat his
every action as such.
At the request of Chairman Haley
OF the County Central Committee, DR..
r. H. Richardson presided over the
