OVER HOUSE LEADERSHIP

Washington, Dec. Difficulties
over republican leadership in the
house are imminent because OF Minor
ity Leader Manns i'll health. Al
though Mr.. Mann is greatly improved
in health, his physicians have warned
him against too strenuous work, and
republicans are preparing In case he

sponsibility Of leading his party
through the session. Two represent
atives are known to be willing to sue
ceed Mr.. Mann. They are Lenroot of

PAYING PREMIUM ON RE-
WARD FOR AN AMER
ICAN SOLDIER

During my recent visit 10 the bat
tlefield of Malmaison twhere the
French swept forward, driving the
Germans beyond the Ailette) small
number of American troops were
fighting in the trenches. They had
asked to be sent to the first line in
order TO pursue their military in
struction" A place was made for the
soldiers of our sister republic, and
there they were in the thick of the
fighting.
OF sudden one of them appeared
out of the somke and tumult of the
battle leading two Germans. He had
them each by an ear Reporting to
his commanding officer, he said:
There, sir, is something to send
to President Wilson"
The incident is characteristic and
doubly amusing when one recollects
the reward promised by the kaiser for
the first American prisoner.-George
Clemenceau. Premier of France.

CUBA SPEEDING PLANTk
ton WORK TO HELP
UNCLE SAM

Washington, Dec. Sugar produs-
ton in Cuba is being started full
month earlier this year than in for
Dler years, according to advices just
received here Nearly all the produc-
ton supervisors and the highly skill
ed sugar boilers are Americans and
a genera, exodus from this country
is in progress today. The earlier
start in the crushing of can and the
boiling of sugar is undertaken by the
big American companies at the re-
quest of the food administration.
There is little expectation of a larger
crop on the island this year, but the
shortage of sugar makes it absolute
ly necessary that the new supply
reach this country very shortly. Ap-
proximately month will be required
before the raw sugar reaches any of
the American refneries, many of
which at the present time are prac-
tically colsed on account of the short
age.

Methodist conference can trans
act more business in a given time
than any other body in the world of
like size. 1t is possible because all
committees and boards are organized
before the body sits. All business is
shaped by series of questions, while
the bishop and his cabinet of advisers
who are presiding elders are figuring
on the appointments to which the
preachers will be assigned the com
mittees and different boards are trans
acting important business, so that by
the time the bishop has made up the

ness is finished

After four days of effort which
brought them but small gains of ter
rain at a great cost in casualties, the
Germans have not renewed ther ef-
forts in the Cambria sector. The Brit
ish salient there, however, is still a
menace to the security of the German
lines north and south of Cambria and
the German artillery bombardment is
probably but the prelude to further
desperate efforts to wipe out the gains
made by General Byngs troops.
British artillery yesterday broke up
enemy troop concentrations east of
Gauzeacourt and near Moeuvres, on
the southern and northern legs OF the
salient, respectively, and the Germans
violently shelled the region of La vav-
queirie, the center of much of the
fighting activity of the past few days.
That the German purpose may have
been to break through into the Somme
region as well as to blot out the
Cambria salient is indicated in dis
patches from the front. But the eff
forts have been futile and caused such
losses that the let-up in the lighting
activity probably is due to the neces-
sity for reforming the attacking fore
es.
Isolated enemy attacks along the
northern Italian front have been
checked by the Italians, but the Aus
tro-Germans have not attacked again
in force.

THE FISHING MUSE.

Zane Grey, n few days before the
publication of his new novel, Wild
fire" started south for Long Key, Fla.
where he will spend the rest of the
winter. Someone asked him if he were
going to take vacation and go a-fish-
ing; to which he replied: "Why! it is
on these excursions that I get together
the material for my books. During the
long hours when | am catching fish |
think up the plots of my novels" But
''Wildfire," like Mr.. Grey's other
stories Of the west, shows no sign
of any aquatic influence.
