ADDRESS LETTER TO CITIZENS

The following letter addressed to
the citizens of Alma and coming from
President ii. NJ. Crooks of Alma col
lege commands the attention of every
citizen. The letter follows:
Members of our faculty more ex-
perienced than | assure me that the
prospects are good for large enroll
ment of Alma college next year.
There is an unusual number of APP
plicants for work among the pros
pective students for next year. Sew
eral young women desire to work in
homes for room and board. A num-
Der of young men want places where
they may earn board, or board and
room; several would like work in
stores, having had experience in such
things. Some with experience in
typewriting hope to find employment
of this sort. Persons who have prob
able need of student help next fall
would cooperate with us in our work
by informing us of their needs. Such
cooperation would be very much APP
preciated. Very truly yours,

President, Alma College.

ALLIES COMMENCE DRIVE

Continued from page one)
did not attack the entire front but
centered their forces on sections which
were thought to be weakest in num-
bers.
A British correspondent has to fol-
lowing to say regarding the present
attack of the Allies. There has been
much criticism of the English troops
by the French, Germans and Ameri-
cans because no assistance was given
to the French along the Verdun front
But they were following the plan as
laid out by General Joffre. BY this
plan the British were to conserve their
troops, gather supplies and munitions
and wait the word for the great often
sive in which they were TO play their
part with the French and Russians.
The order came for the British 10 adj
vance last Saturday and the results
have been far beyond the expectations
of the war Offices. The Germans made
gallant effort to stop the advance of
the English, but our conserved
strength out did all attempts to turn
aside our attack"
Dispatches from the Austrian war
office have nothing to say regarding
the Italian situation. Communications
sent out by the Italians state that the
lighting along the Austrian-I Italian
front is the bloodiest Of the campaign.
Machine guns are playing an inn
portant part in the German defense
against the British attack. Both
Germans and British have them in
numbers. During the bonn
oardment before an infantry attack
the Germans remain in dugouts so
hat they can be crushed in only by
direct hit with a 15-inch shell. In

HUGHES PLANS SWEEP
ING TRIP FOR AUGUST
Will Stop at Only Large Cities
Leaving Others for
Later i'm Season

1t is announced with authority that
Charles Evans Hughes will inaugurate
his campaign for the presidency i'm
the second week in August, starting
on a tour that will take him to the
Pacific. The present tentative ar
rangements provide for addresses in
ten leading cities. These are given
out as st. Paul, Portland, Oregon;
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake
City, Kansas City. St Louis and Chi
cago, among others.
Mr.. Hughes intends this first trip
merely to be swing around the cir
Gle preliminary to one or more whirl-
wind trips. He hopes to avoid all
rear platform speaking on this first
tour. He plans to speak in cities
only where it will be convenient to
spend the night and in the cities where
there are the most commodious audi
forums such as the Coliseum in Chi
cago and Convention Hall in st. Louis.
This tour, if made according to the
plans that Mr.. Hughes has already
suggested, is to be in no sense
transforming one. The candidate says
that his addresses shall be digni-
fed presentations of the issues of the
campaign. Each of the great ques-
tions confronting the American peo-
pie, such as the Mexican situstion and
the attitude of the American people
towards the European belligerents, is
to be considered atslength and it is
probable that different topics will be
discussed in different cities.
There are several reasons why Mr..
Hughes is anxious to begin the first
tour early in the campaign BY touch
ing only the larger cities greater pub
LEFTY will be given at the opening of
the campaign than would be if the
trip was so planned as to take in
smaller places. If the speeches prove
as effective as the Republican man.
ayers think President Wilson will
be put on the defensive right in
the beginning. In the second place
the Hughes managers are determined
to make the appeal to the people when
thousands have not yet decided whom
they will support. Lastly Mr.. Hughes
wants to conserve all his strength for
the whirlwind tours to come shortly
before election day when long hours,
much exertion and little sleep will
put him to severe test.

A COMMUNICATION

To the Editor
Dear Sir:-In the matter of the
sanitary conditions about the homes
in the city of Alma, it is imperative
that certain general sanitary rules be
observed, and at this time is of par
ticular Importance owing to the dan
ger from flies.
First, all litter from stables must
be either enclosed in fly tight COM
partments or taken away entirely
from the premises.
Second, where it is necessary to
maintain outdoor privy vaults the
same must be screened from flies and
free use of chlorinated lime or wood
ashes be made daily.
Third, all refuse about the premises
that in any way attracts flies must
be either buried or hauled away.
1t is the hope of the Health Depart
ment that at the next meeting of the
council an ordinance will be passed
making IT a misdeainor for a violation
of any of the above conditions. 1t is
the determination of the Department
of Health of your city that all of the
above mentioned nuisances shall be
suppressed. To this end it is urged
that all of the good citizens of Alma
use their influence through their coun-
cilmen to bring about the desired al
lowanee. An Observer.

machine guns, or even bring machine
guns out of the dugcuts. The British
carry mobile machine guns forward
and the moment position is taken
they emplace them. The air mans
part has never been, so thrilling, SO
daring as during the present battle.
One of them, although they usually
fly over the enemies lines from 10000
to 10000 feet, even went as low as
500 feet and was able to decern the
color of the suits of the Germans and
British fighting for trench. He re-
turned with 40 bullet holes in his
planes, but he and his engine were
uninjured.

Strange, isn't it. how suddenly the President has

ago last January he went Indianapolis and made
address in which he made the ridiculous charge that
the Republicans have not had idea in thirty years.
