TEUTONS MAKE
 MANY THOUSAND
 GUNS WEEKLY
rRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

BERLIN. Jan. 1.-(Wireless to the Associated Press via SayVille. )-Many thousand guns per week is reported to be the measure of the mighty man. ufactuTing effort which Germany is now making for the campaign of 19Il- an effort upon which the entire man hood force of the nation which can be spared from the front and their regu- lar occupations is being concentrated upon First Quartermaster General von Ludendorfs universal labor service law.
 Counting four months before the probable renewal of the world war iu full Vigor on all fronts, these figures mean new immense supply Of can non of all calibres from field guns up 10 the gigantic hoWitzers, to meet the admittedly gigantic effort which the entente allies are expected to make
 Along with these guns the German factories are turning out correspond angly stupendous Quantities of ammu milton, and the production of machine guns, each of which virtually replaces d platoon of men has been placed on a scale far beyond that of the past year
 The campaign of 1917 it is already estimated, will be fought as a wide ex tension and development of the Somme battle with even a heavier eoncentia a. tion of artillery over a far greater field. Confidence that their oppon- ents will be unable to break through is expressed not only by the high com manders but also manifested right down into the ranks of the. common people.
 To produce great masses of war ma terial thousands of skilled men have been brought and are being brought back from the front and placed in the Krupp and other intuition factories.
 Another expected development of 1917 is a change in the center of gravity on the western front. The Somme battle has swept it's way into comparative quietude and while the military experts here naturally are un- able to predict with certainty the plans of the AnglO-French leaders recent advices point to a transfer of the en- tente allies main efforts to another regionAmost likely that of Nerdun- where the French energies recently have been concentrated or extending 10 its original size the SallypOrt west of the Meuse-the most obvious point as that nearest to the heart of Ger r7anv-Eor the effort to roll back the invasion, or, in case of minor success, a point whence operations into the ich iron fields would be possible
 Military experts here point out that the employment of British troops in large numbers at this point would be ha1hpered by great transportation difficulties and assert that the French reserves are inadequate for any greal unsupported effort They express the fullest confidence that with the bal ance Of artillery strength fully re- stored, as they expect 1t to be by

Accident at Darby Fruit Farm.

On last Saturday shortly after
the noon hour, while at work al
the Darby Fruit Farm the Super
intendent, Chas. Glassmire, was
quite seriously burned by an ex.
plosion. ,.-.
Mr.. Glassmire and several en-
ployes of the farm were working
on the trees removing decayed
wood and branches and filling
the cavities with concrete. Be
fore filling the cavities with the
concrete they are treated with
cavity compound which was found
to be too thick to pour from the
barrel and was placed upon a
stove to warm up some. When
one of the employees started to
pour the fluid from the barrel he
called the superintendent atten-
ton to its foaming up and just as
Mr., Glassmire stopped over to in
vestigate the. explosion came,
throwing the scalding fluid into
his face and on his hands, caus-
ing very serious and painful burns
on his face, ears, neck and hands.
A physician was summoned who
promptly dressed his wounds and
did what he could to alleviate Mr..
Glassmie 8 suffering. We hope
that his burns will not prove as
serious as was first thought, and
that he may have q rapid recoy-
cry Amoret Leader.

II am enclosing detailed re.
port of the writing papers which
you sent me from Bates county
schools. The improvement has
been very marked in uniformity
of work, paper, etc. | am glad to
receive work from the teachers.
1t is a well known saying that we
can not teach what we do not
know. | have no work from
some Of the teachers nor their pu-

the teachers should realize what
good handwriting means, and
should be glad of the opportunity
to improve their writing, since a
course by mail is offered free of
charge to the teachers where the
Roscnthat system of practical
pcnmanship has been adopted.
The two schools ranking the
highest were. McDavitt and AM
