 was new, And the soldier was passing fair, And that was the time when our

Offsetting the British disaster on the Lower Tigris is the fact appearing in the days official outgivings from Pet regard that the Russians have reached the upper waters of the river in their rapid sweep westward and southwest ward through Asatic Turkey.

 The view prevails in Europe that the Nerdun battle was the Gettysburg of this world war and marks the fail ure of the final supreme effort of Germany and the high tide of her power. And then what?

And what of the two or three million prisoners of war in Germany? It is not pleasant to speculate on the events of the coming year.

Expect Government to
Rush RetriaI of Six
New Haven Directors

The course of the Government in the
New Haven case is being watched
closely In Washington. About the Capt.
toll today, in Congressional circles, there
was much interest in whether the Gov
eminent would proceed to a retriaI of
William Rockefeller and his FIVE associ-
ment.
Unless the Attorney General proceeds
to new trial, it Is the feeling Of many
politicians close TO the Administration
that this Administration will likewise be
exposed to the charge of leniency.
Attorney General Gregory is DESTROYS
of examining into various vacts relating
to the case before saying definitely
whether there will be retrial. But the
belief Is the Government will 90 ahead.

dope has it that Pitcher Williams will
be with Roy again next season, which
means that Roy, with good support
back of that man, will have to be
reckoned with.
The aggressive move by Roy brings
up the question as to what Lewistown
fans want for next season. With a
good baseball park firmly established
attention need be directed this sea.
