Chief Tisdale began enforcing
the ordinance against periginat.
ing about the city in automobiles
which have no lights after sun
down, Wednesday evening and
raked in four offenders. DR..
Ned Carlstead was the first to
heave in sight in his fiver after

as he encountered the chief.
Deputy Clerk Charles Hayes

ordinance enforcer. Edgar Wilks
with his family glided into town
about the same time in his canary
Chalmers and was minus a
light, front or rear. Chief Tis-
dale landed him for the mayors
court. Frank Arlington was in
a hurry when he sailed down
town on the way to his farm out
west, but stopped when a friend
signaled him to put him next.
While the putting was in pro-
gress the chief walked up and
made the usual announcement.
Thursday morning as the quar-
tette drilled off to police court
herded by the chief, the owners
of cars out of commission, those
who had thot to set their lights
to burning and a multitude of
business men not busy at the
time enjoyed the parade and
joked the victims. Mayor Agee
delivered a short lecture on the
safety first principle and dis
charged the culprits with the
understanding that each would
keep his lights trimmed and
burning for all time to come.

Criticisms in Austria.

A Vienna dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company says: The an
nouncement that the German field
marshal von Hindenburg. has been ap-
pointed commander Of the eastern
front brought no joy in Austria Hun
gary. Three Budapest papers were
suppressed Wednesday owing to ad-
verse criticisms of the appointment.
TT is stated here that the new COM
chief already has ordered
the recall of a number of Austrian
generals. who will be replaced by Ger
mans. 1t is added that Austria. in
acceding to the appointment, made the
stipulation that Won Hindenburg should
appoint a number of Austrian officers
to his STAFF. but 1t Is learned that only
one such appointment will be made"
A recent Amsterdam dispatch said
that the decision to appoint Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg to the chief
command on the eastern front was
reached during Emperor williams 8

progressive party. Our deliberations
have been guided solely by desire to
preserve the party as an instrument
for the expression of the popular will.
and to promote. without halt or In
terrupting. the great aims to which the
party is dedicated.
TT is useless to deny or to deceive
ourselves as to the grievous effect upon
the party of the blow which 1t has
sustained through the detection OF
many of its leaders. and through the
betrayal by the national committee OF
the trust confided in it by the party
membership. Men whom we have de-
lighted to honor and whom we have
rejoiced to follow have not only aban-
doned the party's cause. but have
sought to sacrifice its future and to
compromise the dignity of Its indi-
vidual membership by a collusive un-
dertaking with the republican party
to deliver our party strength to the
republican presidential ticket.
