Paris March 23--Without cXagge-

the battle is completely finished but
we do know that smashing blows, il
they don't succeed right away, leave
insufficient resources Tor Il second

AS Il matter OF fact smashing
blow that lasts for months is rather
damp lightning. When the German
staff accumulated big guns TO Il num-
Der hitherto unhcard Of to belch un-
prcccdented destruction and threw
huge masses of men into battle. they
imagined no human force could re-
siSt such pressure. But all had been
in vain. A high officer writes that he
WAS indescribably asroniShcd at see
ing his men make a bayonet charge
through a flaming cauldron rushing
over ncinerated German corpse.
We don't know the German plans,
but it is beyond doubt that the haisc.
still has important reserves. Al the
same time they don't possess the va
luc Of ours. And as to numbers, the
rising tide of the English and Rus
slams gives the allies an incontestablc
superiority. Wherever the TcutonS at

meet them.
There arc many Indication that pub

The newspapers quickly seize on Fin
ancc Minister Ribot's statement
that ii is possible to foreSee the end

Naturally, this was merely an ora
torical figure. and the Germans need

the various conferences of the church

when the original plan of requiring
the pastors to present the matter
annually has not been followed.
The fund available for conference
claimants is 50 small that the Joint
board of finance in each conference
is compelled to apportion the fund
upon the basis of how little each
claimant car live upon, and to this
end claimants are requested each year
to furnish the board with a written
statement regarding any gifts they
NAV have received in the form Of
money during the year and regarding
the value of any property they or
their wives may possess.

yers, "such legal advice as may be
necessary and the cost of valuation
of real estate" Well come close to
paying $4,000 or more.
Of course, neither the voters of the
city nor the aldermen of THE council
have voted for subway. A majority
of the traction-packed transportation
committee have decided for subways
for reasons of their own.
At re referendum spring of 1914 the
city-wide subway plan was knocked
to smithereens by an overwhelming
vote. Since then, according to
Greater Chicago Federation officers,
feeling against subways, either CITY,
wide or downtown "dinky," has be-
come more hostile. Slaughter of
wrecked and trapped passengers in
the underground tunnels of New
York, and the Eastland holocaust,
have famed the feeling that subways
should not be resorted to in Chicago
until all possibilities of sunshine
transportation have been given fair
trial.

THREE ENGINEERS AT $4,000
PER ON SUBWAY CASE

Three engineers at 100000 apiece
have been named by council trans
portation subcommittee to tell us ex-
actly how and where to dig subways
and what it will cost.
At the head of this committee is
the same expert who did the last big
job of transportation exporting for
Chicago. He is Bion j. Arnold, chair
man board of supervising engineers
who since 1907 have supervised all
street car transportation of Chicago.
Arnold got famous in 1907 when his
so-ca1led rehabilitation of street rail-
ways was the big card. He told Chi
cago then by tearing away all old
tracks and old equipment and putting
in first-class new material and high
speed devices, everybody would have
a seat in the cars and it would at last
be pleasure to take street car ride.
With Arnold on new committee are
VIM. Barclay Parsons and Robert
Rodgway. Like Bion Arnold, these
two have been solving street car
problems in other cities where the
people are packed in rush hour cars
and non-rush hour cars like layers of
kippered herring.
These three engineers tell us it will
cost S13O, 900 besides their $50, 900 of
salaries to make this subway report.
Total cost for sure will be 100000.
On top of that will be money for law

LYNX PURSUES
SAWYER MAN
Chas. Maxcey Had Experience With
Ferocious Animal Christmas Day
FOLLOWED Him 80 Rods

Chas. Maxcey, Sawyer farmer, had
thrilling experience Christmas day
with big lynx which chased him for
eighty rods in broad daylight. Mr.
Maxcey, who lives a short distanve
west of Sawyer, was walking to that
village when the lynx appeared from
out of the dense woods, following him
closely. Mr.. Maxcey did not dare to
run for the ferocious animal would
undoubtedly have sprung upon him.
He had a .22 caliber revolver, but
feared to shoot as slight wound
would have made the beast more vi
cious than ever. He faced the animal
and looking it squarely in the eyes,
backed slowly away. When he neared
Sawyer the animal Disappeared in the
woods. Mr.. Maxcey says the animal
was as large as a dog and showed
claws as sharp as needles. After he
gave the alarm a number from Saw
yer armed with guns went into the
woods but did not find any traces of
the animals. A number of lynx have
been seen in the vicinity Of Sawyer
during the past few years but no rec
ord has been made where they ever
actually harmed anyone.

HUSBAND PLACED IN
JAIL FOR NOT PAYING
Michael Whitish, Granville Farmer
Neglected to Pay Former Wife Ali
mOny-Placed in Prison

Deputy Sheriff Clarence Vanden-
oever drove nine and a half miles east
of Deering and thirteen miles north of
Granville on Saturday and placed un-
der arrest Michael Whitish, who is
now lying in the Ward county bastile,
charged with neglecting to pay his di-
vorced wife alimony.
When Mrs. Whitish got divorce
eight years ago, her husband was or
dered to pay alimony and this he has
neglected to do in accordance with
the orders of the judge. The total
amount of the alimony is approx
mately $4,000 but the amount which he
was supposed to pay this year was
$3.50 and besides he was required to
furnish a mortgage for $3.50 on this
years crop. He positively refused to
give the mortgage. He claimed that
his crop is so poor he could not meet
the payments, yet it is said that he
bought a new Overland car for his 15-
year-old son. Officials plan to sell
Whitish's property under execution
while the man is in Jail.
Whitish claims that his wife is a
Protestant, while he is Catholic and
when they were living together he OBJ
jected to her attending campmeeting.
This he said, led to divorce proceed
ings.
