home east of town Saturday,

health for some time and was
eighty.four years old. In his
death Gleason loses a good citizen.
He will be greatly missed IN the
G. P. church, where he was a
loyal member. The weather never
got too hot or too cold for him to
attend Sunday school, preaching
or prayer-meeting. He was also
a true Mason, of the Royal Arch
degree, and the large crowd OF
Masons and friends which as
sembled at the G. P. church Sun
dav morning to pay a last tribute
of respect, was a testimonial OF
the esteem in which he was held,
both in the church and lodge.
Bro. Mccoy and Rev. S. IL.
Brawley conducted the funeral
services, and the Masons held a
Masonic procession both at the
church and cemetery at Hopewell,
where be was buried. He died
at the home Of his son, Mr., Clint
Smyth, who with one sister, Mrs.
Lizzie Rushing, are left to mourn
his death.

THE WAR
TODAY

Pausing on the ground they had
won on Monday and Tuesday in
their impetHOus dash southwark
to the west OF the Meuse, the
forces of the GerElan crown
prince, fighting for Verdun, failed
to continue last night their dris~r
ing attacks on the attacks on the
French lines. Renewal of the
great battle. however, is being
m0mentarily awaited.
The assault on the fortress is
now being pressed along the four
mile trent from north of Cum
ieres. near the river to Bethin-
court, where the Germans have
pressed forward into the Cor
beaux woods, between Dead Man
and Goose hills, the commanding
positions held by the French in
this sector.
BY heavy bombardment follow.
ed by an infantry attack the Ger
mans were able yesterday to gain
a foOthOld in COrbeaux Wood,
northward of Verdun and to cap
ture Hill 265 to the southeast.
Their casualties were very heavy
according to a Paris report. The
attack extended over the entire
front from Bethincourt to the
Mouse river. but with the excep-
ton Of the two points mentioned,
the French held back the Ger
mans. Thus the French still hold
the important strategic positions
on the heights of the Cote de
L'0ie, for the possession of which
numerous battles have been
fought. 1t is estimated that the
Germans have advanced about
three miles since they took the
town of FORCES.
The Germans have recaptured
from the French position in
Champagne, have pushed their
line forward in the ArgOnne for
est and have expelled small Brit
ish detachments from captured
German trenches northeast of
Vermelles, according to a German
official report.
According to the current official
statement from COnstantinOple
the British army under General
Aylmer on the way to the relief
OF General Townsend at knt-El-
Maru. has been making renewed
efforts TO advance. 1t is declared.
however, that all its attempts
failed.
Rome adyices indicate that Italy
has determined to make every Ell
fort to retain possession OF the
AvI0ma section, at the sOutherly
end OF Albania. Allied troops have
withdrawn from virtually all the
ether Albania territory to the
north in the face OF the Austrian
advance southwark.

ASK GOV. DUMMIES AID
Trustees Appeal to Execu-

Public Utility.

Springfield, ILL.,, March S.-Trustees
of the sanitary district of Chicago, and
members Of the Illinois and Michigan
canal commission conferred today
with Governor Dunno I'VE want the
governor to help us to get control of
the power dam at Joliet, now leased
by the public service corporation of
northern Illinois," said James NJ. Dali
ey, chairman of the finance committee
Of the sanitary district. This power
should be used for public and not pri-
vate gain"
THE conference was called by Gov
ernor Dunno" said Trustee Wallace
Clark of the sanitary district.
1--WE told the governor this dam at
Joliet should be developed to it's full
est extent and all the power used for
the public good. The governor said he
was for the public every time"
Controlled 60 Years.
The trustees explained that the pow
er dam, which belongs TO the state,
and which is leased at 20years inter-
walls by tkR commissioner of the 1lli-
nois and Michigan canal has been con-.
troled for the past go years by what is
now the Public Service Corporation Of
Northern Illinois. "They pay the state,
or rather the canal commission $4,000
annually" said Chairman Daley. "If
the power were developed to its limit
it would be worth much more than this
at least seven or eight times as much.
We want the governor to lend us his
influence with the commissioners so
that they will make the development
of the power at Joliet a requirement in
the next advertisement for bidders to
lease the power. If this is done we
don't believe we will have any COM
petition. If we get the contract or
rather the lease, we will use much of
the power to light the city of Chi
cago."
State Could Use Money.
President Sherman Marshall of
Ipava, of the I. and M. canal commits
sion said the governor believed the
money derived from the power dam
could be used to widen and deepen the
canal between Chicago and Joliet, so
that it would meet the requirements of
the proposed Illinois deep waterway.
The public service corporations con-
tract for the power dam expires in
July, it was stated, and the canal COM
missioners will advertise for bids some
time in May.

Washington, March S.-With con-
gress standing squarely behind him,
President Wilson was prepared today
to go ahead with the submarine nego-
tiations with the central powers.
After an all-day contest, such as has
seldom been witnessed, the house last
night answered the presidents demand
for showdown" on congressional
sentiment on the armed ship issue. By
a vote Of 276 to 142 the house tabled
the McLemore resolution to warn
Americans off armed ships.
This action, together with that in the
senate in killing similar resolution
has freed the president from the en-
barrassment forced upon him by the
dissensions in congress.
His victory complete after long
and sensational fight, was regarded by
the president and his advisers as a suf-
ficient answer TO reports circulated in
Berlin that he was making demands
on Germany in direct opposition to the
sentiment Of the elected representa-
tives of the people. MIR. Wilson is
| hopeful there Will be as little further
ftiiseaSsion of the issue in congress as
possible.
