The department OF justice has wired
to Frank c. Daley, special prosecu-
tor in the election fraud cases, that
the department is convinced there is
nothing in the supreme courts recent
decision which affects the prosecu-
tons in the Evansville and other Indi-
ana cases, and he is advised to 90
ahead on the assumption that the in
dictments are perfectly good. The
department takes the view that the
indictments are based on alleged
crimes committed in connection with
an election, as differentiated from
primary, and therefore are valid.

The speed and power of the British
assault in what will probably be
known in history as the battle of Ar
ras, seem to have thoroughly sur
prised the Germans. So much so in
fact their usual retaliatory artillery
fire has been absolutely negligible in
the last two days. This is partly due,
of course, TO the numbers of guns
captured TO which must be added the
number knocked out by the British
artillery before the actual assault be-
gan. II is also due to the fact that
the Germans have been too busy to
get their remaining guns away from
immediate danger TO bother firing
them at the enemy. Ina German
artillery position east of Arras, known
as battery valley" could be seen
the remains Of "a field pieces. A trip
over the newly taken lines revealed
a condition of trenches closely appro-
mimating those recently evacuated by
the Germans in the Somme. Many
duqouts remained with damaged por-
tails, but the trenches, including all
Communication lines, have been UNI
battered about. The adj
vance was halted Wednesday by

LITTLE WILLIE'S ESSAY
On FIRE PREVENTION"

Fire IS d not substance made Of fuel
and usually started by match. A
fire bug can also start a not fire by
friction BY rubbing a $4,000 policy on
$4,000 risk. A fire started by a
near sighted woman looking for a
light dress in a dark closet is just as
hot as fire started by fire bug, only
the woman is sorry afterward.
One funny thing about fire is that
it won't start when you want it TO
and you can't stop it unless it wants
to. If you try to make q fire in the
CRATE with kindling and newspapers
it will take ten matches to start il
and then it won't burn unless it wants
to, but # you drop a lighted match
accidentally on a wet floor and it IS
liable to set the house afre You
cant start FIRE with the last match
in the box or light a cigar with the
last match in your pocket unless you
have some more matches handy
Fires are ike darkies. They work
better in hot weather and after sleep
ing all day will raise the mischief at
night
When | grow ap want to be
fireman so I can turn the hose on
folks | don't like and chop holes in
their roof without getting arrested
A fireman gets to sit around all day
and play checkers and when there is
fire he is the first one to know about
it and gets 70 ride there IN an auto
mobile and have to run there on my
own legs The best way to keep
fire from visiting you is TO treat It
like nav treats paws second cousins.
In the first place she don't invite 'em
and if they visit her anyway they
soon see il amt no place for them to
enjoy themselves at

SO much patriotism and unselftsh-

they should be condemned and
made to feel the loathIng and con

but until such legislation can be
enacted the only effective power
that can be brought against them
is the power of an outraged pub
