LIQUID FIRE WINS
F0R THE KAISER

London, Mar. 22.-LiQuid fire
played its most successful role since
the war began when 1t enabled Ger
man troops to make an advance at a
point 10 miles northeast of Verdun.
Reports received in London say
that German artillery showered
shrapnel and high explosives on
French positions in the Avocourt
woods without success. But Jets of
liquid flame and billows of smoke
drove the French from several hun
dred yards of trenches southeast of
Malancourt.
This new success menaced several
square miles of French positions
northwest Of verdun. Latest Paris
dispatches, however. insist that the
shifting German attack is a confess
sion of failure.
Russian victories have convinced
Paris critics that the Yerdun often
sive soon will be abandoned.
BY their gain at Avocourt the Ger
mans arrived within seven miles OF
the st. Menehould railroad. over
which supplies are carried for most
Of the French positions around ver-
dun. II the Germans fail to squeeze
the French out from their north
western positions. they may suddenly
change front and smash southwark
In an attempt to seize this railroad

CANNON
CONTINUE TO ROAR

Paris, Mar. 22.-Although German
cannons kept up constant uproar
during the night northwest of ver-
dun, there was no attempt at infan-
try operations. the war Office COM
munique said today.
The bombardment was especially
heavy around Malancourt and Hau-
court hill. Shells poured into the
village of Esnesbesnes, on the Meuse
bank. Cannonading continued be-
tween vaux and Damloup.

SUGAR BEETs- s-Do THEY PAY?

SUGAR BEETStDO THEY PAY?
THAT the sugar beet is a profitable
crop for the farmer to grow is proved
by the rapid increase in sugar beet
production.
"In 1890 there were less than 5000
acres Of sugar beets grown in the
United States, while in 1915 there
were over 100000 acres Of sugar
beets harvested.
''To bring this nearer home. Six
years ago our neighboring town Of
Scottsbluff was promised sugar fac
tory II contracts could be secured for
5000 acres of beets. The boosters
canvassed the Platte valley from Fort
Laramie to Bridgeport, and to make
up the 5000 acres they had to stun
the ballot box, pad the returns, and
then draw on their imaginations.
"A few weeks ago, in this same
community, day was set for signing
beet contracts for 1916. The farm
ers rushed in, signed $1,000 acres,
and almost mobbed the entire office
force because they would not let
them sign as much more,

SWISS EXPERT
TELLS j, S, NEEDS
BY VIM. G. Shepherd.

/ ~ -->f - N--NF~>~-~E
Berne, Mar. 22.-To handle the
Mexican problem the United States
needs border commanders with the
power to act on their own Initiative
in a crisis such as the villa raid. Col
onel Sprecher Won Bernegg, chief OF
the Swiss general staff, told the
United Press today. To meet other
more serious difficulties that may
arise at any hour. the United States
needs a stronger navy than Japan.
a large standing army to guard her
coasts and borders, and military
training for her youths, he added.
The Swiss military leader is one
of the most expert military men in
all Europe. He shows evidence OF
having made the closest study Of
American military problems. An
earnest advocate OF the "Swlss sys-
tenn" for his own republic. he be-
llieves the system should be modified
II introduced in the United States.
asked him how the Swiss mill
tary system would have helped Amer
lea in the Mexican troubles. II
would not have prevented Villas raid
on Columbus. he said.
"But wouldn't the citizens OF Col
umbus have been soldiers with q
commander TO call them to service?"
he was asked.
NO." he said. "The district com
mander would have been obliged to
get orders from the government Of
tis canton before acting. Switzer-
land is small. Our troops move
quickly. You would be obliged. to
modify the system to suit your size.
For example. you need commanders
Ialong the border with power to act
on their own initiative In such a
situation as the villa incident"
Under the Swiss system. would
not all citizen soldiers in the border
states have been called to arms first
lin case OF actual war with Mexico
and forced to fight in behalf OF the
remainder OF the Americans?" he
was asked.
Eyes, the border troops would meet
the brunt OF battle first" was the
reply. "but It would be the duty oi
your government to see that troops
already here were rushed to the
scene to reinforce them and relieve
the border contingents."
But suppose the New Workers. and
citizen soldiers Of Illinois felt that
J the Texans should take care Of them
J selves and did not want to go?"
There is no unwillingness in q
jreal army" said Colonel Sprecher
but the question you raise naturally
grows out OF the immensity Of the
United States. The Swiss feel thai
what happens in one part OF the
country concerns all. The Swiss sys
tenn, II introduced in America. needs
hundred changes, but the first
thing is to get military training start
ed. Other questions can be settled
as you go along. In America you
will always need a large standing
army to guard your coasts and Dor
ders. To this you must add navy
stronger than Japans to keep yor
safe.
"You ought to have immense mill.
tary supplies along your coasts ant
borders, but not close enough to al
low an enemy landing forces to cap
lture them. They ought to be bach
a good ways, surrounded by stronl
entrenchments. A large force ought
to guard the Panama canal, and yor
ought to be. able to augment your
thousand or more troops in the Phil
ippines at o moments notice"

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The mems meeting at the Y. NJ. C.
A. last Sunday afternoon was well at
tended. A spirited song service was
conducted, followed by a season of
prayer in which several participated.
Quite a number of the men present
were new, that is, they had never at
tended the meetings before. Others
had made good their promise of the
Sunday previous, to bring another
man with them.
The speaker of the afternoon was
the Rev. G. A. Wilson, pastor of st.
Paul's English Lutheran Church. He
spoke on Davids contest with Goliath
He said that David's victory was due
to his confidence in God, to his good
habits and to his willingness to sac
rifice himself for the welfare and
safety of his people. Permanent good
can never be won by fighting a selfish
battle. For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it; and whosoever will
lose his life for my sake shall find
it,
The juniors had the croquet court
largely to themselves last week
They are developing some good play
ers among themselves, and some of
them are speaking of challenging the
seniors. Sims and Ross engaged Bell
and King in game on Saturday
evening, and while the former would
ordinarily have been no match for
the latter pair, but Bell seemed to be
out of condition, often missing balls
only ten feet away. And yet, with
Sims and King already rovers, it is
somewhat doubtful how the game
would have ended had not Sims
been forced to leave in order to
make his train. Next Saturday, how
ever, will clear away the doubt.
The mems meeting will be held as
usual next Sunday afternoon at A
O'Clock. Rev. w. A. Webster, pastor
of the West Side Christian Church,
will be the speaker. Mr. Webster is
a firm believer in the rights of the
Negro, and promises to give out some
warm facts on that occasion. All
men will be welcome.

ZION NOTES.

Sunday was a great day at Zion.
The pastors sermon in the morning,
from the subject, THE Homeless
Christ" reached the heart of the con-
gregation as was manifest by the in
tense interest. Brother Ball of Colo
rado Springs, united with the church
by letter.
The great congregation of the
morning was present at the evening
service. The subject was lecture
sermon from the STORY of Daniel"
illustrated by the stereopticon. The
service was introduced by the congre-
gational singing of Onward Chris
tian Soldiers" made real by beauti-
fully colored pictures; and at the
close of a quartette sang Jesus
Lover" to the accompaniment of
wonderful dissolving views The
service was a masterpiece.
Next Sunday night will begin a
series of stereopticon lectures which
will present the Bible in pictures and
story, From Genesis to the Cross"
Seven consecutive Sunday evenings.
You cannot afford to miss single
evening. The entire Bible story will
be told in a series of pictures in a
way that you have never seen before.
Appropriate illustrated music will be
a feature every night. The program
begins promptly at o'clock. The
Young Peoples Chorus will also sing.
