BRITISH REPLACE FRENCH.
Take Over Another Section of the West
ern War Front.

London. Dec. 29.--The continuation of
the British offensive along the Somme
front is impossible so long as the present
weather lasts, Major-General Frederick
B. Maurice, chief director of military op-
erations at the war office, informed the
Associated Press yesterday.
Il told YOU some time ago, he SAID,
"tbat our offensive would not cease dur
inc the winter. but it must be apparent
from the daily reports that no real battle
has been offered in that sector since DC
tober. In the first place, we underesti-
mated the effect of the shelling on the
terrain. The country over which the ad-
vance will have to be made is thickly
sprinkled with shell holes filled with wa
Ter. Also. never having held the same
line in any other winter, we underesti-
mated the effect of the fog in the valley
OF the Somme.
"There have been frequent frosts, not
severe enough to harden the ground, but
sufficient to form fogs, making artillery
observation fire practically useless and
also preventing the drying of the ground.
"The French arrived at the same deei'
sion and transferred their attention to
Nerdun, with results which you know.
We may be able to resume in March, as
we found the ground at Neuve Chapelle
in fairly good shape in March, 1915, al
though it had been very bad during the
winter.
Unable to continue the offensive for
the present we have done the next best
thing. The taking over of section of
the French line has kept us busy during
the past 10 days. The operation has
been successful, and ! will be glad to tell
YOU the exact extent of the line taken
over when | am sure the Germans know
the point of junction.
"ln Rumania the first Rumanian army,
which has borne the brunt of the fight
ing, has entirely withdrawn, and is now
reforming in Moldavia, while its place
has been taken by the Russians. In Do
brudja. the line has been moved back in
alignment with the battle front north of
the Danube. in this region, both our al
lies and the enemy are suffering from
adverse weather conditions"

Flexner.

New York, Dec. 29.-In an address last

rector of the Rockefeller Institution for

more or less fearful that infantile parsl-
ysis may be more widespread in the
United States next summer, but there
may be, perhaps, not so much of it in the
eastern states"
DIR. Flexner asserted that il is now

RUSSIAN SHIP ARRIVES.
The vologda is the First of That Ma
tionality to Arrive in Months.

New York, Dec. 29.-For the first time
in nearly three months a ship flying the
Russian flag docked yesterday at New
York pier. She was the steamship Vol
ogda out of Archangel, Dec. 3, and is here
in ballast to take cargo for a port as
vet unnamed.
Those whose interests are associated
with Russian ships, think the vessels
that formerly piled between this port
and Archangel are being used to trans
port supplies from England to Russia,
via the ice-free port of Kolabay, under
the protection of war craft.

Non-Partisans Congregate.

There was a sort of a small
sized convention of the Non-Par-
tisan League in Linton Monday
night. Messrs. Richardson, Mey-
er, RIPLEY and Areast, of the
League, and Fay Harding, the
Iownley representative from
Emmons and Kidder at the re-
cent state convention. J. M.
Stewart was later called in. If
these gentlemen don't succeed in
organizing" the south half of
Emmons county it isn't their
fault. Apparently, however,
things (meaning those nine-dollar
checks) haven't been coming very
easy. Mr.. Richardson who halls
from Pittsburgh, Pa, is one of
the Leagues most accomplished
organizers" According to one
OF the League members over at
Braddock he is the gentleman
whose duty it was at the League
rally there some weeks ago to
give the audience pointers as to
when to laugh at the speakers
sallies by leading off with a mer-
ry handicap and a loud "ha-ha."
Meyers speciality is the German
speaking population. Sunday
evening he gave a short informal
talk on how the banks ought to
be getting money from "the
East" at three per cent to loan to
the farmers at a figure slightly in
excess of that. The only feature
of his argument that he didn't
make clear was just how his
plan could be made practical in
view of the fact that the banks
hereabouts are overloaded with
time-deposit money on which
they are paying SIX per cent to
the farmers, or three per cent in
excess of what Mr.. Meyer thinks
they ought to be paying for their
money.

General News Paragraphs

The Germans are still ham
merine away at Verdun with ap-
parent little effect.
The British troops at Kut-El-
! Amara have surrendered to the
Turks after holding out since
last December. Floods prevent
ed a relief expedition from
reaching them.
Roosevelt seems to be getting
stronger as the republican con-
vention looms up ahead and it is
more than probable that he will
be the republican standard-bear-
er at the coming election. Roose
welt has many things to answer
for so far as his own party is
concerned. Nevertheless, the Pc
culiar conditions existing in the
world today are likely to force
him back to the White House.
Added to the fight of the great
European war England has had
the added load of putting down
an incipient revolution in Ireland.
A thousand misguided Irishmen
who thought they were going to
make Ireland a republic attempt
ed to capture Dublin. For sew
eral days there was much blood
shed and now the rebels have
surrendered. The rebels have
done Ireland an irreparable
damage that it will take many
years to even partially wipe out.
