For the last two weeks the British
aud French armies by hard fighting
have made steady though small gains
on the German line in Belgium.
Extremely heavy losses are reported
especially among the Germans who
are said to have sacrificed many men
IN futile attempts to recover lost
ground. The British have taken and
held the important position at LANCE
marke while the Canadian contingent
Is gradually forcing the Germans out
of Lens, the coal center of France.
ln the region of Verdun the French
have repulsed numerous attacks and
during three days took 5000 prisoners.
10th sides are employing airplanes in
daily raids dropping bombs on camps
and depots IN rear of the opposing
lines.
The Italians are engaged In a new
and powerful offensive against the
Anstrians, and have taken 10000
prisoners. Austria admits losses of
ground but say the Italians also lost
many men including $500 prisoners.
On the eastern front the Germans
have, begun an attack on the Russian
Positions south of Riga and have
continued 10 make gains in Bukowina
and Galicia, although the Russian
and Roumanian resistance in that
quarter IS SAID to be stiffeuing in an
Effort TO save the harvest 10 southern

Thanksgiving For
Soldier Boys At The
Paltsade Church

At recent meeting of the Pail
SADIE Red Cross Branch, Mrs. Logan
announced that she was going to treat
half dozen soldier boys from Camp
Merritt to d Thanksgiving dinner at
her home. The thought was imme-
diately taken up, and a proposal was
made to have about thirty-live at the
Palisade Union Church and give them
a Community Thanksgiving dinner.
The plan includes the PaIisade men,
also, and SO it was decided to have
a day worth while to everybody.
The ladies are enthusiastic over the
affair, and that it will be brilliant and
enjoyable goes without any comment
here. Everybody is to be there to
meet the soldiers. The church will
be handsomely decorated for the oc-
casion in American colors, and per
haps volunteer programme of pa
triotic speeches and singing will be
evolved.
Anyhow, the ladies, God bless 'eml
are going to warm the insides of My
Soldier" with some mighty fine tur-
key and an affectionate welcome.

New Chemical Engine
For Palisade Is Here,
Very Pretty Machine

Palisade now has chemical engine,
the first one ever placed in the Dor
ough of Fort Lee 1t is a pretty lit
tie forty-fve gallon affair painted red,
and is a valuable addition to the fire
apparatus of the village. 1t carries
fifty feet of extra hose with the al
lowance of fifty feet on the reel,
There is also an extra acid charging
chamber, made of lead, which is car
ried on the carriage. There is rope,
if needed, for hauling the extinguish-
or around by hand, though two men
could make fairly good time with it
except going west in Bluff road, where
half dozen would make better time.
At the present time there is no
charge in the new extinguisher, but
on election night j. F. Pennle was
looking it over preparatory to filling
it up ready for work. 1t came charg
ed, but the fire boys gave it test and
used it up. 1t will be charged in a
few days.
Palisade now has two hose reels,
about thirty-five members, and an I'M
drilled company, though Foreman
William Beckmann has done great
deal towards perfecting the men.
The machine arrived about fifteen
days ago.

was standing near Wolpert's paper
stand at the Junction.
What business is it of yours" re-
piled a Fort Lee officer who had the
young mans overcoat under his arm,
and was walking away with it. He
had seen it lying across the railing
that lines the walk near the junction,
and apparently had thought that
someone had left it there and the
young man was trying to claim it as
his own.
"Well, l should think it would be
my business, seeing that the coat be-
longs to me-" said the young fellow,
lightly.
"Now don't get SIMPLY" said the
copper, getting angry at the young
fellows nonchalance. " Why, I've been
standing right over there for the last
ten minutes, and not soul was near
that coat"

youth.
"a very likely story indeed, | must
say" the policeman said, "but l dc
not believe it, You will have to iden-

make is it?"
II believe it is a Dreyfus & Lange
coat" the fellow replied,
"Yep," said the officer, chats what
she is. But how do | know that you
had not looked at the name before
did,"
"Wait minute" said the youth,
81 will prove that it is my coat. .
| turning to one of the men who were
also waiting for car he said, Didn't
you see me put this over the railing a
minute ago."
"Me?" answered the man, "naw
| just came here"
"Humph," said the cop, chuckling,
81 told you so. You own the coat
| eh," and he began to laugh to the
delight of his listeners, it was such
a pleasing and intelligent giggle
| "Hey, one minute now, wait until
ask this gentleman" and he did, but
| the gentleman gave him as much en-
! enlargement as the other man that
was questioned.
Anyway" said the officer, 81 think
this is a girls coat" looking at the
belt on it. Gust try it on" and he
hand it to its owner to put on. 1t

The officer had taken back the over

Find, if you can, a general approval
Of the justice Of the increases? Now
it is in order to publish the tax as

when auctioned off, they only brought
$500. l am told of some lots that
were sold for $40 piece plus accu-

Lafy's Pack.
By Joseph Blethen

When Lafayette went down to Spain
For little fling on the Spanish Main,
He had bunch which he rose to ex-
plain
To his little band:
Lets hop across the pond" says he,
ITO where | think there's going to be
A scrap 'twixt US and George the
Three,
And lend hand"
Whenever De Laffy could mix in a
fray,
Just anywhere west of the Appian
Way,
He moved a vote for a perfect day
The SON of-a-gun!
so he drew cheque on the bank of
France
That threw the teller into a trance,
And dolled himself up for a little
dance
At Washington.
Then he loaded his rowdies into tub
and piped the French for "rub-a dub
dub"
With fancy chef to throw the grub
For Laffy's pack.
And that's the way it came to be
That Laffy came over to this countree
And helped to set Your Uncle free,
Now some time back.
He rated the Anglay, did Lafayette,
AS nothing much for National bet;
And some happy Frenchman was due
to get
The British Goat.
So they shot 'em up in a sociable way
And taught Johnny Bull to parley
Francay,
With July Fourth for holiday
Some worthy of note.
Your Uncle Sam and his bunch of
hicks
We're clubbing aronud in a h-deuce
of a fix
Along about seventeen seventy-six--
In Latfy's time.
But a couple of thousand million
francs
Deposited quick in our Goldfish Banks
Put an "Oh, say!" in the British
ranks
And just in time.

To what we are.
Now some have said we were afraid
And many sneering crack was made
That our debt to Laffy was old and
frayed
And overdue;
But now we've laid our biggest bet,
We've thought it out and our mind is
set,
We're hoppin' to France to pay that
debt
With interest, too.
We're going owe rto poin his show,
We've millions of men who are keer
to go,
We've billions of dollars, and more
will grow
To heap the stack.
We've ictabobs and diving things
And batleships that fly on wings
And thunder when the cannon sings

Dee Laffy is there on that Other
Shore
Where the Louiees and Georges will

And Washington may take the floor
In friendly debate.
And it's great that the shade of oul

NO JURISDICTION
OVER MULES CLAIM

An interesting point was brought up
in Judge Moore's court in the latest
phase Of the legal fight that is being
made by Mrs. John Tucker for the re-
covery of the mules and harness which
we're confiscated when NJ. ,. Tnorn
was arrested while transporting whis-
key to Grady county from Wichista
Falls.
Counsel for Mrs. Tucker claimed that
Judge Moore had no jurisdiction in the
matter on account Of the value Of the
goods involved and asked that the judg-
ment OF the court be set aside. This
motion was overruled, however, Judge
Moore deciding that she value Of prop
erty did not figure in condemnation
proceedings. The point to be decided
was whether such property had been
used for unlawful purposes
