Maj. George o. Dickey of Luverne to-

Maj. Dickey qualified and was sworn in

Major Dickey was one among four for

OPERATIONS IN WEST

Paris, August 1.-THE operations on
the Somme yesterday were merely de-
tail of the offensive and of little bear
'ing"-a high military official explained
toeay to the Associated Press, "but sig
|nificance is derived from the fact that
the Germans did not counter attack as
usual. Never before have they failed to
react when successfully attacked and
Their failure to do so in this case is
teither sign of weakness or, more likely,
because of confusion Of orders.
The precision with which the French
Offensive has been carried out is shown
by the fact that every objective desig-
mated in advance of an attack has been
Preached. One consequence of this pre-
cison in the French operations Is the re-
|duction of losses to a minimum. The
Operations in Artois and in Champagne
|cost five times more than all the ground
gained on the Somme.
ut is fallacious to figure out the prob
able duration of hostilities on French soil
by computing the average surface of
ground gained per day. Every time an
action takes place, even though the gain
may be no more than 100 yards or so, the
opposition is beaten. He loses heavily
and the weakening moral effect cannot be
measured in yards. 1t is a cumulative
effect, which sooner or later will wear
the enemy down so that he will be unable
to hold the French gains to a few hun
dred yards"

G|RARD COUNCIL

Following Trial of Marshal,
Who Receives Sentence
of Two Years, Other
Arrests Are Made

Scale, August 17.-Seventeen indictments
against Girard men, charging various
offenses in connection with the recent
liquor raids in that town, today were
returned by the grand jury here. Sew
eral of the indictments are understood
to be against Girard city officials. Sher-
iff Lindsay of Russell county an
nounced tonight that he would arrest the
indicted men tomorrow.
Reports that all of the members of the
Girard council were arrested today were
denied tonight. Officials refused to say
definitely whether Girard officials other
than Mayor Earl Morgan and Clerk of
Council A. l. Weaver had been indicted.
The bonds of Mayor Morgan and Clerk
Weaver, who were arrested on charges of
bribery yesterday, today were raised
from $500 to $4,000 each, after they had
been indicted.
John Oaks, town marshall of Girard,
today was sentenced to two years i'm

Russian officers say there are many
indications that the Germans are pre-
pared to abandon their present line on
this part of the front at any moment.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press made weeks tour along the front
commanded by Gen. Alexei Evert, from
Lake Narocz to the region of Barano-
viehi, and found the Russian soldiers
most anxious to advance. The armies I'M
der General Evert are the same which,
crippled by a shortage of ammunition and
supplies, were forced to surrender a large
part of Poland Year ago. Commanders
who brought back only broken remnants
of their divisions are in charge of splend-
idly equipped units. The men share with
their officers the determination to re-
capture the ground lost in Poland.
A corps commander, who showed the
correspondent of the Associated Press "A
huge supply of ammunition and mate
rial, said: I'VE have enough ammunition
stored away to take us to Berlin"
The soldiers seem to be plentifully sup
piled with wholesome food and are living
under the best sanitary conditions. Their
spirit and fighting strength appear to be
very high.
Compared with conditions prevailing a
year ago, the percentage of disease on
this section of the front Is declared to
be appreciably lower. Not only has uni
versal vaccination and personal cleanli-
ness, which now are insisted upon, re-
moved the danger of epidemic, but in
dividual cases of disease Of any sort
are said to be rare.

BURNETT COMING
WITHOUT FEAR Of
Being ATTACKED
His Position on Naval Bill
Amendment, He Says,
Was Only Being Con-
sistent in Course
BY HUCH ". RoBEp9s

Washington, August 17.--(Special.) -Rep-
resentative Burnett, who left tonight for
the purpose of facing his constituents in
St Clair county Saturday, has no fear
that his position on Senate amendments
to the navy bill will initiate against him.
AS heretofore reported, a majority of
Alabamas House delegation opposed the
programme which provided for the imme-
date construction of Is capital battleships
and personnel legislation obviously pre-
pared by naval officers in the interest of
naval officers. Despite their opposition,
however, the entire delegation, with the
exception of Representatives Burnett,
Blackmon and IIuddleston, who voted
may" and Gray, who was absent, sup
ported the amendments. The President
had previously stated that the Senate
amendments must be enacted.
1.-The House had previously gone on rec
ord against the amendments, said Mr..
Burnett tonight. II found it impossible
to change my position in such short
time. 1 am lacking in the agility Of the
jumpingjacl<. l could not conscientiousy
support a measure 1 opposed simply be-
cause some other individual told me to
do so. Had l done So would have
proved myself moral coward"
1t is known that the majority of House
democrats opposed the Senate amend
ments and that the amendments were sue
cessful only as result of the President 8
insistence. 1t is also known that certain
Alabamians supported the amendments
much against their will and much against
their judgment.

any theatre of the war Thursday.
The most violent tighting occurred
ON the western end of the British sal
tent ON the Sommc. Six times the Ger
mans advanced In a desperate effort to
bend back the British lines northwest
of Pozieres. London reports that nli
of these assaults were repulsed with
heavy losses and that the British cap
tured about 100 yards of trenches
northwest of Bazentin.
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton ON the western front is that the
ticc, have SO far made no attempt to
deliver Il counter attack in the region
where the French and British claim
to have captured nearly three miles
OF trenches Wednesday.
Some mystery exists as to the situation
ION the eastern front. For two consecu-
tive days the Russians have announced
that nothing of Importance had oc-
lcrrred. The Austrian and German war
offices have been almost equally I'M
communicative.
The only fighting mentioned by Vienna
was the repulse of Russian attacks on
the line of General Won Boehm-E rmolli,
who Is in command of the Teutonic
forces retiring from the Tarnopol front.
Berlin reports the repulse of Russian at
