Champayne BLOW Expected

last night in the Champagne and north
of Verdun.
Champagne Blow Expected
Il is believed in military circles here
that if the Germans strike on the
French front, as they are almost GER
tain TO do, their big blow will fall in
the Champagne, between Rheims and
Verdun.
Before they can get their new forces
into action, however, il is not unlikely
that Haig will smash forward again
on the Ypres front, thus delaying and
perhaps preventing the carrying out Of
Hindenburg's plans.

Hindenburg is making ready for the
mightiest stroke dealt by the German
army in the West in two years. In ad-
dition 20 the great forces Of fresh
German troops brought from the Rus
sian front, the Kaiser's commander is
TO have the support Of many Austrian
divisions. according to the Rotterdam
correspondent of "The Daily Tele-
graph"
Reporting the arrival of Count Ger
min, the Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister, in Berlin, the correspondent
declares this means. the release of
thousands of Austrian troops from the
Russian front for use in the Western
drive. If this takes place, it will be
the first time in the war that Austrian
soldiers in any numbers will have taken
part in the West front operations, and

John DIS Aid to War
Put at $4,000, 900

TARRYTOWN, n. Y. Dec. IA
friend of John d. Rockefeller estimated
the oil mans personal investment in
the war to-day at $4,000, 900. He has
contributed this sum in the last ten
months, il was said.
The money has been divided among
the Commission for Relief in Belgium,
the Red Cross, the Young Mems Chris
tian Association and various other ha-
manitarian projects, and includes also
substantial purchase OF Liberty bonds.
In making the estimate of what Mr.
Rockefeller had spent TO alleviate suf-
fering caused by the war and to fur
ther the cause of the United States his
friend did not include the money ap-
propriated TO those ends by the Rookie
feller Foundation, which has drawn on
its principal to make the subscriptions
that were deemed necessary.

Frankfort Explosion
A German Disaster

LONDON, Monday, Dec. 10 De-
lsyed).-Germsny suffered disaster
comparable with a very serious mill
tary defeat in the explosion last month
which destroyed the Griesheim Chem
ical Works, near Frsnkfort-on-Main,
one of the greatest munitions factories
in the world. according to statement
issued to-day by the Press Bureau.
II is said to be impossible TO recon
stitute the works during the war. The
statement adds that sooner or later Ger
many must show on her lighting fronts
the effects Of this staggering blow.
The factory has been producing salt
petre for the manufacture Of black
powder at the rate of 1000 tons daily,
and IL was reputed TO be the only fac
tory turning out this article.
The electrolytic plant was utilized TO
produce asphyXiating gas and lachry-
matory and poisonous shells. In fact,
IL is the greatest centre of this manu-
facture in Germany.
The destruction OF the Criesheim
works by an explosion on November 22
was reported in a Zurich dispatch on

Trunk Lines Blockaded

Washington was informed that all
the trunk lines north of Pittsburgh are
practically blockaded, that the general
movement of freight on all Eastern
lines has been reduced so per cent, and
that the sorely tried Pittsburgh Rail-
way must now, at all costs, take over
a large part of the through freIghC
movement of other routes II the peo-
pie OF the Atlantic seaboard are not

Ordinarily. the railways would re-
cover from the present knockout WIN
two or three days Of mild weather, but
they were so far extended in their eX-
traordinary efforts to meet unprece-
dentcd demands that they Will be SLOW
coming back. To help them meet the
disaster, they have asked the govern
uens TO take immediate steps to undo
the impossible situation created by
unclassified priority orders.
About 10 per cent Of the entire traf-
fic of the roads is nov preferential by
government order, and yet there is no
comparative classification, according to
degree or real Necessity Iol lh"Suio'N
transportation.
The great deficiency Of motive power
deprives the railways of resiliency un-
der the present stress. Their orders
for new engines for this winter were
held back in favor of production Of
engines for France and Russia. Now,
because Of lack Of ships, some of these
engines. cannot be sent abroad and
those for Russia will not be sent.
The railways have secured authority
TO commander them, but they are
small and many of them were built for
wider gauges than that of the Ameri-
can roads and must be altered.
The same is true of power borrowed
from Western and Southern roads.
Where, Washington is asked. are the
men to come from? On the Eastern
roads alone 10000 brakemen and 5000
firemen have been drafted, and 1000
have actually gone to the colors.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 11.-Equiyalent
to a military disaster of the first rank
are the effects of the blizzard and in
tense cold on the railways.
The general operating committee had
the pittsburgh throat situation so
we'll in hand when the storm struck
that it was already opening this gate
way to through freight that had hith-
erto been diverted to the south and
north. Now the crisis is more acute
than ever-so acute, indeed, that the
committee refused all publicity to-day
as to the condition in which the storm
has left the railways.
IL is learned on unquestionable su-
thority, however, that information has
been forwarded to Washington that
is comparable in the gravity with which
it is expressed to the report of gen
eral reviewing an unexpected defeat Of
a main army.

day, The meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. Jane Jess, president of

A delightful buffet luncheon was
served and the meeting was very enjoy
able az we'll as profitable and instruc-
tive.
Twenty-eight ladies were present at
the last meeting of the Jasper Branch,
including several from the country.
We spent 800 for yarn and SIS for mus
lin and other articles last week, so we
will have plenty of material TO work
with this week.
Remember, there is no way to keep
our treasury going but by voluntary
contributions. The following ladies
donated $1.00 each last month: Mines.
Pinnell, Belle Patterson, Gladys Waltz,
Bayne, Hayzlett and Misses Lizzie
Lawson and Eunice Hayzlett. Mines.
Anna Spaid and Harry Hille each con-
tributed 80 cents. These contributions
are all very thankfully received.
Note the new verse now being sung
TO the tune America:
"God save our splendid men,
Bring them safe home again,
God save our men.
Keep them victorious,
Patient and chivalrous-
They are so dear to US
God save our men,"
Let pastors, Sunday School superin-
tendents and school teachers copy this
verse and teach it to their congrega-
tons and schools, and sing America,
including this verse, every day in pub
lie schools and every Sunday at church
services. Mrs. L. w. Scott,
Secretary Jasper Branch.

Y. M. c. A. WAR WORK
Jasper Committee Turns in Over $1,000
for the Cause.


The subscriptions taken in Jasper
and community for the Y. M. C. "A
war work cause last week totaled Mon
day morning $1,401.25. The county
committee in making its apportion-
ment at Joplin two weeks ago appor-
toned Jasper $500, but asked for the
very best results possible. The local
committee took up the work with the
earnestness and enthusiasm that the
cause merited with the above result.
We believe everybody will be pleased
with Jasper's showing. The following
is list of the subscribers, which is
printed not so much to give public
credit as it is in the nature of receipt,
the committee having had to work so
hurriedly that in most cases receipts
were not given. If anyones name is
not recorded that should be, we will
gladly correct the error.

A good rain fell here Friday night,
and again Sunday, in all amounting to
probably nearly 115 inches. II came
steadily but slowly most of the time
and was a great benefit to the wheat.
Hardly any rain had fallen for SO days
prior to this and the wheat was in need
OF moisture but probably not suffering
