Touch of Trench Life

The experience had merely supplied
ready acquired-of what the soldiers
of Verdun have been undergoing in the
past IS months. In this region nature
has been given no opportunity, as she
has, for example, on the battlefield of
the Somme to repair as best she can
the ravages of war. From the top OF
one of the battered forts that now
forms an unbreakab1e ring about YER
dun-recaptured from the Germans
with a valor and at a sacrifice of life
that will make its name immortal in
history-stretches out as far~as 10-ply
made-in-Germany binoculars can
reach, vista of utter devastation.
Scrambled Country
Once thickly forested hills and rich
ly cultivated valleys speckled with
happy villages; now a sodden, grayish,
monotonous panorama of churned-up
soil, criss-crossed here and there with
trenches, and only an occasional stump
or pile of crumbled stones to evidence
it's former beauty. It's like Notre
Dame de Lorette, Vimy, Wytschaete,
Messines, and Passchendaele Ridge all
scrambled together.
All the forces of Nature-fre, flood,
hurricane, and earthquake could not
have wrought such havoc. Only man
could do it. Even looking backward,
the only discernible color is the green
of the distant fields, the shattered red
tiled roofs of the fortress city, and the
clusters of purple graves
where sleep the men who made the
motto of Verdun-"On ne passe pas"
mo trespassers allowedD "a reality.
Valley Of the Marine
The Germans now occupy very much
the same line as that from which the
Crown Prince launched his costly but |
futile attack upon this stronghold. |

TURES THE SCENES IN DESC
LATED FRANCE
COUNTRY IS DEsOLATE
BUT THE PEOPLE ARE STILL DE-
TERMINED TO FIGHT THROUGH

BY ED. L. KEEN

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD-If one of the party had
not stopped to dig up Boche bay
onet from the roadside, this piece
wouldn't have been written.
The French officer-chaperon and his
charges had tarried on the way back
to Verdun from one of the outlying
forts to chat with bunch of Red
Cross men, and incidentally to watch
the antics of flock of German aero
planes as they lodged in and out
among the feathery puffs OF French
chrapnel. The usual daily artillery
strafe had been on for some hours.
Hundreds of tons of metal had been
bowling above our heads from both
sides, far up and down the line. At
times there was a shot for every sec
ond But so far the Boche targets
had been located comfortable dis
lance away. Our officer had given the
word to resume the journey, and the
chauffeurs were cranking up, when
the opportunity of gathering in anoth-
er battlefield souvenir interviewed. 1t
is still there.

Saved by Buried BayOnet

Careful figuring, conducted very
shortly thereafter in one of the Red
Cross dugouts nearby, convinced the
whole party that if it hadn't been for
the bayonet episode our cars would
have collided with the big Boche she'll
just at the moment of it's explosion
about block down the road. For half
an hour the German artillerymen rak-
ed the neighborhood, and then during
a lulI we beat it back to the under
Europe.

KA|SER'S PEACE BID
 |S TIMED FOR XMAS
PRESUMABLY WAR LORD HOPES TO TIME IT WITH A GERMAN
 OFFENSIVE OF WEST FRONT.
BRITISH KEENLY AROUSED
Alert To Enemy's Added Strength To Men and Munitions-Hindenbu To Take Initiative Lost By
 Genera! Haig.

London.-Germany's expected bid for peace, long forecast, is to come in the form of a Christmas message by the kaiser to his people, according to reports which reached here.
 / Presumably the war lord hopes to tl. it with a German offensive on the west front, already confidently an nounced by the German press.
 The fact that the kaiser himself is expected to make the profter was re- garded here as another evidence Of the determination with which Germany is conducting a peace offensive now when her military strength is at its top notch and before the arrival of American troops on the line spells the beginning of the end for his autocracy. The kaiser does not propose to trust Chancellor von Hertling with the pro nuneiamento.
 London was not concerned with peace proffers. Premier Lloyd George $ ringing speech, coupled with Presi- dent Wilson's recent address to Con gress, has aroused British public opin- ion 10 recsnsecration of it's aim for a peace only to be won by allied victory. Germanys manuovering for peace has been patent to British observers for weeks The military offensive which is to accompany the peace of fensive was, however, mainly in Eng lands mind.
 Public officials are under no deiu. sion as to the strength of this expect ed blow. Russia's downfall gives the enemy great number of veteran troops Great numbers Of guns taken in the Austro-German drive in Italy give the enemy powerful artillery sup port.
 It has been borne home to British officials that widespread stories of the breaking down of German morale, oi lack of adequate reserves, of scarcity of metal curtailing artillery and ammu milton must now be swept aside and l that the nation will need it's most de termined efforts against the foe. Hin denburg has now gained the initiative Haig has lost it.
 Many London newspapers are now vigorously urging the abandonment oi ] the British campaign in Mesopatamia. Palestine and South Africa and the concentration of the large forces oi British troops now in those far distant theaters of war on the western front

SUBMARINE MENACE
 IS BEING REMOVED
UPWARD CURVE OF SHIP BUILD ING IS APPROACHING NUM-
 BER OF BOATS SUNK.

London-"The submarine menace, in my opinion, is held but not yet mastered" said Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, in the House of Commons. Our shipbuiding is net yet replacing our losses.
 Since November 1, when I made my last statement, Sir Eric con tinued, the downward trend of mer- cantile marine losses has continued satisfactorily. The upward curve of the destruction of enemy submarines have been equally satisfactory. have no reason to doubt tkat all three will continue satisfactory.
 The first lord said if the country would economize so as to restrict the use of tonnage and set ships free for more urgent uses, if the English would follow the tradition of their race and put forth all their power, relaxing TO effort to destroy the submarine, then the war could end only in victory.
 We must have ships, more ships, still more ships, and now I want the men t6~build them," said Sir Eric. He said the plans were made and the steel had been obtained and that un- less he mistook the spirit of the coun- try there would be an adequate re- sponse to the appeal for men.
 When the Associated Press inquir- ed of high naval authority If the an [ Iti-submarine war was going well and what was the reason for the high rate of sinkings in the past three weeks," the answer was:
 "The enemy has had more subma. rines at work. He has actually been attempting a submarine offensive of the largest possible magnitude in an effort to reinforce his offensive on land. He is trying to bring off a coup which will incline us to peace. He has failed signally on sea as on land, and he has had to pay heavy price. Our counter-measures are meet ing with increased success and the enemy will experience constantly in- creasing difficulty in maintaining his campaign.
 If the shipbuilding efforts can be 
 properly spurred on in England and America the allies will be made t. l say within measurable time that tonnage is being launched at rateV exceeding the sinIings; and also, if the naval measures continued to in,- prove as is reasonable to expect, the | U-boats are being sunk faster than the Germans are able to build them and that the German U-boat fleet IS steadily dwindling away.
 Much still depends on American shipbuilding, but as encouragement to those who are putting their efforts in to that work it may be said with con- fidence that the allied navies are able to handle the U-boat."

GENERAL KALEDINES
 GAINING STRENGTH
SITUATION AT MOSCOW, WHICH IS HELD BY BOLSHEVIkI IS
 SAID TO BE SERIOUS.

New York.-The counter-revolution- ary movement in Russia, headed by General Kaledines, is growing in strength. Realizing the seriousness of the situation considerable forces of troops from the Russian front are being rushed from the trenches 10 give battle to Kaledines' Cossacks.
 The situation in Moscow, which is held by the Bolsheviki, is said to be serious Unofficial adviees say street fighting has occurred there and that the garrison is showing signs of mutt ny against the BolsheViki who have placed machine gEns in the streets to combat a threatened uprising. Star vation is menacing the populace Gf the city.
 General Kaledines, in a proclama- tion, says the Cossacks have taken oyer the power in the Donetz region and N1at they will use their whole power to oppose the Bolsheyiki. Tur kestan is reported to be mobiliziHg all men between 16 and 45 to fight the Bolsheviki, who control Tashkent, the capital.
 The second sitting of the Constitu- ent Assembly, with 400 members pres ent at Petroarad, is announced by Lenine, the Bolsheviki leader. All the forces of Russia are centering on the assembly, the maelstrom from which will emerge stability or anarchy and probably peace or war.
 Ite Petrograd Union for Defense people to defend their rights, but the Izvestia, organ of the soldiers and workmen's delegates, in a long edi- torial, declares the present govern ment rather than the constituent a.. sembly is the real expression of the will of the masses. "The enemies Of the vorkmens and soldiers delegates are putting their faith in the eonsti- tuent assembly," the Izvestia says.
 Despite the undercurrent of opposi- tion from the Bolsheviki as a result of which political strife is certain, the general opinion in Petrograd is that the actions of the assembly must be regarded as definite by the foreign embassies, which for more than a month have been in a difficult posi- ton as regards the Lenine-Trotzky government.
 German also is believed to be waiting for the assembly before talk ing definite action in regard to the armistice offer of the Bolsheviki.
 Present indications, based on seat tering reports from towns and vii lages from the Siberian steppes to the Caucasus from Petrograd to Odes- sa, are the assemblys makeup will include Rolshevik delegates nearly equal in number to all the other par ties. The membership of the assem- bly is about 500

How Deficiency Is Met.

Governor Brough explained that the deficiency proclamation of $1,400, to pay the difference in the salary of the deputy warehouse commissioner, as provided by the acts of 1917 does not come out of the general revenue fund but is payable out of the warehouse and market bureau fund whenever such funds are available. Another de- ficiency proclamation provides for the appropriation of $400 out of the state capitol fund for constructing F steel doors for the rooms in the basement where the states publications are stored MT. Terral was afraid that some of these reports and publica- tions might be stolen, and asked for construction of burglar-proof doors.
