GRAND Duke SWEEPS IN
HIS TURKIiH FIGHTING
French Sweep a
Wide Area With
Their Artillery
Around T h e
Verdun Forts

The Germans today are turning their
attention to the French fianks around
the region around Douamont continues
loiding firm.
An intense artillery fire in the
Woevre region, reported in last nights
Paris bulletin, centered on Haudemont
and Freenes, about ten miles southeast
of Verdun. Military commentators re-
Gently laid stress on the operations in
this sector, it being held that next
important German drive would be
there The object of such a drive
would be to roll up the French flank.
There are other indications, how
ever, of possibility that the Germans
are still watching the French from
across the Meuse, where the La Mort
Homme Cdead mans field') heights
command the lesser hills and sur
rounding battlefield The French have
prepared for inafntry attacks there, al
though it is conceded a drive across
the open at that point would be prob
ably more costly than any yet under
taken.
Meanwhile furious assaults along the
main Verdun front continue This is
aptly illustrated by yesterdays attack
en- the left of the Douamont sector
where the French position held firm,
throwing off all German attacks, these
being abandoned only after severe
losses were sustained.
There are indications of another Ger
man offensive movement contained in
newsdespatches from Dutch cities
These tell Of extensive troop move
;nents in the direction of Ypres, where
the great German drive for Calais
failed last year. This newest offensive,
it is presumed, is to be directed against
the English front. Some commenta-
tors, however, see in it only feint
intended to prevent the reinforcement
OF French lines elsewhere, and these
observers profess to believe the long
military trains passing near the Dutch
border are in reality only empty cars
ir.tended to deceive Entente observers
near the Holland border line.
In Armenia, the Russians continue to
advance as rapidly as the rough ma
ture of the country will permit the
bringing up of supplies. The Turkish
ormy offers little resistantce to the
Slav advance, and in some instances
las been cut to pieces by the victor
ious soldiers of the Grand Duke Mich

FIRE DOES DAMAGE
AT BUENA VISTA, GA

BUENA VISTA, Ga, March 6.-Fire
broke out in the large brick store of
I. E. Moore & Co., at Buena Vista, Mon

and the millinery store of Miss Parker.
The flames were extinguished after
considerable damage was done by fire

A strong wind was blowing at the
time, and the volunteer firemen did
good work. 1t is supposed that the fire
caught from defective wiring.

new ground, regardless of sacrifices,
but were everywhere forced to retire.
The French artillery controlled the
situation during Sundays fighting,
there being little actual work for the
eltrenched infantry, thus minimizing
losses. Great heaps of German dead
cover the battlefield, where French
canister and shrapnel spread death and
devastation among the close-formation
OF the German ranks.
The French trenches remain filled
with infantrymen, and reserves are
inreadiness to advance, though there
remains little apprehension of further
German attempts to storm the French
position at Mort La Homme. Here
the Teutons would be forced to deploy
over a mile-wide plain, swept by
French artillery fire, before they could
approach the defending trenches, and
even German disregard for human life
would be staggered by the losses sus-
tanned if such an attempt were made.

The house rules committee this after

morrow a special rule providing four

Up Goes the Price Of Books

A ten to twenty-five cent increase in the price
Of current books Is announced. Publishers and
retailers made an agreement to this effect in
New York few days ago. The fiction that form
erly retaied from so cents to 81, will now cost
you ten cents more, while the 81 to 50 variety
will cost on an average Of twenty-five cents
more. Publishers say that an increase of so to
100 per cent in the cost of white paper, leather
and ink forces them to raise the price of books.
A further increase Of 10 to 20 per cent is proba-
BILE. School books may cost more also in few
months.
The general increase in the cost of living and
in the small luxuries which many Of us have en-
joyed is steadily going on. There seems to be
no reason to doubt that the American people
within twelve months will be face to face with
the serious problem of readjusting their whole
mode Of living. Advocates of thrift have done
heroic service in an effort to arouse the Ameri-
can people to a sense of practicing economy, but
for the most part their effort has been barren Of
results. Now, with prices of all commodities
soaring to the sky, with raw materials becoming
scarce, with the price of foodstuffs steadily in
creasing, the American people will be compelled
to learn anew some of the lessons of self denial
that our forefathers practiced when they began
to create an industrial and agricultural world out
of wilderness. None of us need blink the facts
that stare us in the face. Prices are going up,
and we must begin to trim our expenses and live
strictly within our means, which interpreted
means-do not spend all you make, but save
wherever you can.

manipulating the Movies

Kansas believes in municipal ownership. 1t
has 1872 municipal lighting plants 10 gas plants,
and 200 water plants. Now it is trying to round
up the motion picture theatres. One Kansas
town already owns its motion picture house and
refuses to let any private competitor come in.
Three other towns are arranging for municipality
owned houses.
The Kansas City Star claims Kansas believes
in municipal ownership not because of the theory
but because actual experience has shown that a
city can conduct these enterprises with profit to
the municipality and with low rates for the pub
lie. You cannot tell any Kansan that municipal
ownership is farce and failure. The Star
points to the scores of cities that have built their
own municipal plants and are making a sue
cess of it.
Kansas has public utility commission, but
there is no certificate of convenience and neces-
sity" provision, as in Wisconsin, which gives the
private company in the field an everlasting mo-
nopoly and perpetual franchise. Corporation
regulations" tried to tack such provision on to
the Kansas law at the last session of the Kansas
legislature, but the municipal ownership people
in Kansas proved too much for them.
