President Wilson Silent as
to the Selection of Run
ming Mate for the Coming

Washington, Feb. 24--The continued
silence Of President Wilson as to his
preference for running mate on the

strengthen the rumors that Mr.. Mar
shall is not likely to be renominated
at the st Louis convention Mr.. Mar
shall himself has given his friends to
understand, that while he is perfectly
willing to accept denomination, he is
not going to seek the honor. Now
the Marshall opposition is beginning
to sound the public by mentioning
other names in connection with the
second place on the ticket. one of the
most prominent % those suggested for
the place is Congressman Henry 7.
Rainey OF Illinois, who Is ranking ma
Jority member OF the house ways and
means committee.

second time for vice president 1t will
be an unusual distinction. 1t was in
1892 that all presidential candidates
we're for the first time nominated by
conventions. and only once since then
has vice president been renominated
That was so years after. when in 1912
James SchoOlcraft Sherman of New
York was renominated by the Re
publicans at Chicago with little or no
prospect OF his reelection, and only to

GREAT OFFENSIVE
WE'LL UNDER WAY

Paris, Feb. 24.-The great battle
raging along the 25-mile front from
Etain to Malancourt Is being followed
with the most intense interest by the
public. 1t disposes effectively of the
question whether the Germans would
make an early offensive. The battle
is the first on a large scale since the
offensive in the Champagne in Sep
tember and is believed to be the FORE
runner OF stirring and possibly do
cisive events.
The principal fighting centers in the
rough and thickly wooded country be-
tween Etain and Damvillers- Here
some 100000 OF the German crown
princes best infantry are trying to
wrest from the French important
roads which would enable them to
make their way through to the Meuse.
The battle as yet is only beginning
but It is said already to have cost
the assailants OF the French heavy
casualties and without any appreciabls
advantage being attained.
Big Stroke at Verdun.
The Germans have been making
preparations for big stroke at YER
dun. so openly during the past month
ludl lie rTeIC0 Hdu every ChdHC0 10
get ready for them. The attacks up
to the present only involve the ad-
vanced lines, which are at least two
miles beyond the outer defenses OF
the fortress.
Military opinion here is inclined to
doubt that the Germans win attempt
TO carry Verdun by storm. 1t Is point
ed out that besides the formidable
works of the fortress. 1t is further
protected by a field army under COM
mand of General Humbert, an excep-
tionally energetic officer. The pre-
vailing view is that the Germans are
feeling the strength of the defenses
and that the resistance they met with
may discourage them from proceeding
TO try TO take the citadel by force,
even with the help OF their greatest
guns.

IMPROVEMENTS ON STREETS OF
 CITY PROGRESS
Not Only Roadways but Sidewalks Are Being Generally Fixed and
 Roads Opened.

Much work both on streets and sidewalks is being done by the force of the city. working under the direc tions of City Engineer Buck and the street committee of the city coun' cll. The streets are receiving gen eral oyerhauling and much new work is being accomplished.
 Among the improvements just fin ished might be mentioned the re- planking of Front Street frop the city dock to the Grand Theatre and the building of a new sidewalk on west Twelfth Street for distance Of 1.7OO feet. Work has been com pleted on the regrade and repairing of the streets in the Nelson Park Addition. Nelson Avenue has been graded between Fifth and Sixth Streets as has also Kennedy Street. The stumps have been removed from Park Avenue and the hump in Sixth Street has been cut off making the whole addition much easier of ac- cess to teams and automobiles. Side walks will be laid in the near future.
 Work was started this morning on the regarding Of Sixth Street be- tween Gold and Main Streets and on Friday night the bids for the Calhoun Avenue sidewalk and the one on the Government road will be opened. The Calhoun Avenue walk will run from the Reck Apartments. across The Gold Creek bridge to con meet with the sidewalk recently com pIeted down Twelfth Street.
 The Government road walk will join with the end of Twelfth Street walk in the Casey Shattuck Addition and run along the Government road to Wiloughby Avenue. These inn provements will make a continuous walk from the down town section, around the Casey-Shattuck Addition and along the roadways and return ato town.
 Another much needed improvement which is being made is the widening of Calhoun Road. on the south side of the Governors House. The bank is being cut away at that point and the street will be widened seven feet. This win make the street wide enough for two teams to pass at point where it was formerly impossi- ble.
