FORT DOUAUMONT FAILS:
GERMANS 4 MILES FROM
STRONGHOLD OF VERDUN|
(By International News Service.)

BERLIN, Feb. 20 (By wireless) The Ger
man forces have smashed hole through the ring
of redoubts defending Verdun and have captured
Fort Douaumont, which is but four miles from the
city itself.
1t is stated the successful attack was made by
the oath regiment of Branden burgers who threw
themselves at the position during binding snow
storm. The defenders were finally driven back
wards before the German bayonets, but only after
terrific hand-tO-h hand struggle.
Fort DOuaumOnt was constructed of steel and
concrete. Several hours before the final charge,
the monster IS and 17-inch guns of the Teutons
battered the works practically to pieces An
nouncement of the capture in this city was follow
ed by the Creates demonstrations of JOY. Strate-
gically the position means gain for the Germans
of two miles and also opens the way for an early
advance against the fortresses of Belleve St. Mi
chae1 and Scuvi11e.
Under cover of darkness, the Germans brought
up some of their biggest guns and mounted them
in the captured fort. They are now used IN the
shellng of Verdun 1t is stated that many fires are
raging in the city and the French reserves have
been forced to retire 1t is believed the fall of the
great French stronghold will be matter of but a
few days.

BRIDGE AT HARDEN'S
FERRY OUT OF ORDER

1t is understood the bridge over the
St. Johns river at Harden's Ferry is
out of order. The draw carriage is off
the track, according to reports in cir
culation here.
David Sholtz has just received a
telegram from the war department
asking that the structure be at once
repaired so as to allow the passage of
boats. 1t is thought the accident to
the draw merely blocks marine traf-
fic and does not affect the passage of
vericles across the river.

Extemporaneous Remarks

President Wilson took occasion in his address Des Mones Tuesday night to say that his marks were eXtemporaneous. Perhaps if he had taken time in advance to prepare them for presenta tion, he would have inserted some explanations and have made connections tending to remove apparent inconsistencies. We would not approach the presi- dents remarks or his effort in carping spirit. We fully understand the difficulties of his position and the tremendous task that has been set for him and also his studious, sedenary life which does not pecally fit one for such task. But appreciate the genuine Americanism of the president All Americans must sympathize with his efforts to arouse the people to sense of the necessity for preparedness, though all Americans may not that his methods the wsest the best calcu- lated to attain the end he seeks.
 The president dwelt in this address directly than in any of his previous upon the futility of diplomatic exchanges and protests unless they backed by sufficient force to compel the proper conduct belligerents We believe that this is the first admission by the president any person socated with his administration that any of the numerous notes he has sent winging to Germany, Great Britain and Austria have been futile. We have been informed by the state department and by administration newspapers that have gained great diplomatic triumph Germany. The state department has expressed it's entire satisfaction with Austrian relations. Why, then, the pacifsts may ask should we have great armies and naves when trumphing in the bloodless diplomatic field? British friends have not, within the ad- mission of the state department around yet to point of view and satisfactory reply has come from France protest against the search by French warshps of American merchant vessels and the removal of passengers and members

People Want the News

At the time The Republican installed it's full Associated Press leased wire service on November of last year and always before that the Los An sees morning papers had very large circulation in this city and in the other of the valley and adjacent mining towns which are properly with the Phoenix newspaper field. We could not blame Phoenix other Arizona readers for sub scribng those outside papers, for, notwithstand ing The Republican then printing more genuine telegraphic than any other Arizona paper was printing then or since, The Republicans service carried bat a small part of the worlds as served by the Associated Press, the greatest of all newsgatherng and distributing agencies.
 But since the first of November the circulation the California papers in this city and valley has dwindled away until it is practically confined to former residents of that state who retain their interest in the local news of Los Angeles and it's vicinity Previous to November 1, too, Phoenix and it's newspaper territory had been for some three years a field for exploitation for Fl Paso papers which are ceasing their activities in this urs- diction and paronized only by former residents of Western Texas, who still retain their interest in the affairs of that part of the
 That is, the comparatively few California and outside papers now coming Phoenix taken only for the same that many citizens of not only Phoenix but of all towns and cities and com munties take the county weekly papers printed in the communities whence they
 Many of the subscribers out of town papers, previous to November , felt that they could afford more than one paper and, therefore they chose paper that gave them all the news though it day old and they did not take any Phoenix paper. Nearly all such subscribers have since enrolled themselves The Republicans list. They have gained a day in the news of the world and also reading the local news Hun dreds of other subscribers who taking both The Republican and outside paper have been saved the expense of the latter that some thou sands of dollars, sent annually to California and other newspapers outside the state kept at home
 In this newspaper reading every home wants newspaper and wants one which gives it as much of the worlds it get in any other paper. That accounts The Republicans remark able increase of circulation within the last four months and explains why it is finding it's way into almost every home in the city, the valley and the adjacent mining camps and settlements.

CHURCH IGNORANT
 0F EDWARDS CRIME

The First Baptish church of Phoenix wishes to correct officially two mis- conceptions that seem to be quite prev alent in the city regarding the crime of II. G. Edwards and the relation of the church to the same.
 First, we wish the public to know that the church had no knowledge whatever of the alleged crime or CT ines until the matter was made pub lie. Tuesday morning, Jan. ?, the story was brought to the pastor by Mrs. Edith F. Martin. and an hour af forwards Mr. Edwards had confessed to the pastor that most of the story was true Mr NaIney immediately called a meeting of the board of dea cons of the church, to convene in the office of Dr. John WiX Thomas at 7:30 Tuesday evening. MT. Edwards was summoned to appear before that body. where he confessed to most of tha charge. The result of the trial was that the board of deacOns found him guilty of fornicatiOn. as alleged in the charge, anl voted unanimously to recommend tc the church the with drawdl of the hand of fellowship from him, that is, his exclusion from mem l hersEip. The constitution of the church prohibited action except at . regular business meeting. The meeting was held last evening Feb. ,. at [ 80 0 o'clock. when the recommendation of ] the board of deacons was unanimously l adopted. MT. Edwards is therefore no longer a member of the First Baptist church.
 Second, we wish the public to know that the church is not prosecuting Mr Edwards. This charge against tke 1 church is both false and absurd. since 1 Mir. ErWards was arrested before the | church had any knowledge whatever of his crime. Naturally some of the members of the church are back of the movement to bring him to justice since they had knowledge of the crime sooner than anybody else, and desire to see justice done and his children and the public protected but the church as such has nothing whatever to do with the legal aspects of the crime.
 The church is shocked beyond words to express at the depths of depravity revealed by the crime, and is thrown back irresistahly upon the truth fol which the Baptist denomination ha. ever stood: "Ye must be born iron above" If the repulsive crimes shal shock Us all into examining anew tn, foundations upon which we are build ing the structure of our lives. they vii have served at least one good purpose Done by orde- and in behalf of tn,

work in our state there being only one other institution in the state where friendless children can be cared for, That institution being the St. Joseph $ Orphanage in Tucson which is over taxed.
 After the address automobiles were furnished for any delegates who might wish to visit and inspect the home. The ladies of the home served tea dur
 ing the reception.
