Result of School Debate.

The Rathdrum high school
negative team won the debate held

two to one. The winning team
was composed of Clorin Layton
and Herbert Minzel. The visit
ing team, representing the Occur
d'Alene high school on the afirma-
tive, consisted of Miss Maxine
Whitney and Alfred McBee.
The question debated, "Re.
solved, That the government
should own and operate public
telegraph system" was handled
with much ability on both sides,
and the instructive facts brought
out and the manner in which they
were presented were greatly ap-
preciated by the audience.
Rev. II. S. Randall presided
and praised the members of both
teams for their accomplishments
in debate work ard commended
them for availing themselves Of
the opportunity offered for such
splendid training.
Songs by the high school girls
chorus preceded and followed the
debate and were we'll received.
Miss Houck played the organ ac-
compartment.

the same evening between the
Rathdrum affirmative team and
the Coeur d'Alene negative team
resulted in all three judges there
pronouncing the Occur d'Alene
team the. winner. Those three
votes and the one vote at Rath-
, drum gives Coeur d'Alene high
school the debating championship
of Kootenai county and the chance

of Shoshone and Benewah coun-
ties for the championship of the

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

One of the greatest and most san
gulnary battles of the war, and what
may be decisive battle, was begun
Feb. 2lst when the Germans in great
force and under the eye of their
emperor attacked the forts and en-
trenched camp at Verdun, Frances
greatest bulwark aga:nft direct Teu
tonic Invasion. The orders to the
German soldiers was to move forward
no matter what the losses. Masses
OF heavy artillery prepared the way
for the infantry by moving paths
through the barb wire entanglemeuts
and making the first line of French
trenches at some points untenable.
The infantry advancing in the face
of shrapnel and machine guns
captured many of the outer works of
the main position after repeated
assaults in which it is said whole
brigades were swept away. The
French also made heavy sacrifices in
the efforts TO hold their line and re
cover lost ground. So severe was the
! bombardment by both sides that for
miles In extent the appearance of the
countryside was changed.
More than half a million men are
said to have been engaged in the
battle the first of this week, since
which time reinforcements have been
brought up on both sides.
Verdun, normally city of 8o,00(
people was evacuated by the inhabit
ants before the battle opened.
The Germans continued to gair
ground on the 28;h and 29th though
under great difficulties, the French
artillery being used to break up plans
for further advance at several points
The Russians are reported To b

Clue to Post Falls Robbery.

Boys playing on the sidetrack In
the Milwaukee railway yards at Spo-
kane Bridge, Feb %, looked into

stored there for some time and dis
covered pieces Of the broken safe
from the Post Falls postofiice, which
was burglarzed when the safe was
blown open three weeks ago.
A few dollars worth OF stamps,
mail sacks, padocks and keys and
other articles were In the car.
Evidently the burglars, whoN made
the trip from Post Falls to Spokane
on a stolen handcar, made their first
stop at Spokane Bridge, left parts Of
the safe, sorting out and retaining
everything valuable and discardlng
the balance, throwing IL into the
empty car.
