A SUCCESSFUL, DEMONSTRATORS

Miss Ida May Brownlee is at home
for a vacation and is spending most
of her time with Mrs. J. A. Dickson
on Wardlaw street. Miss Brownlee
is the County Demonstration for Jas
per county and it is most interesting
to hear of the progress and life in
the, baby county of the State. The
people of the county have taken
lively interest in the Home Demon
.stration work and much fruit and
vegetables have been canned and
saved this year. Jasper is in the
truck gardening district and the
people down there have made so
much money this year on potatoes
that they don't know what to do
with it. ..
Miss Brownlee returns to Jasper
after her vacation is over.

GULF Of RIGA
IS NOW A BASE
FOR GERMANY
Italians Have Taken to Date 128,.
900 Austrian Prisoners in the
Big Drive.

Riga, Russia's big port on the Gulf
of Riga, is in the hands of the Ger
mans and its garrison and the civil
ian population are in retreat east
ward.
Following up rapidly the advan-
tage they gained in driving the Rus
slams across the Dvina river on both
sides of Uskull last Saturday, the
Germans threw Bridges across this
stream and soon were on the heels of
the former defenders, some of whom
offered resistance, but others of
whom showed the white feather, giv-
ing the invaders no trouble in march
ing up the eastern bank of the Dyina
toward Riga, fifteen miles distant.
Seeing the disaffection and the in
ability to stem the tide Of the ad-
vance, the Russian commander or
dered an evacuation. ~.
.s. Between Two Fires. ..
With the falling back Of the Rus
slams from the city proper and the
advance of the Germans northward
along both sides of the stream, the
Russians still defending the western
bank around Dahlen, seemingly are
in danger of being caught between
the two fast-moving bodies Of the
enemy and made prisoner. =
Behind them the Russians in their
retreat from Riga are laying the
country in waste, burning villages
and farms. Whether the city itself
remains intact has not yet been
made known, but doubtless the guns
in the fortress and the ammunition
stores either were removed or de-
stroyd to prevent them falling into
tn hands of the Germans.
Value of Position
Aside from the stragetic value of
controlling the Gulf of Riga, and Of
q base nearer the mouth of the
Gulf of Finland, at the head of which
Petrograd is situated, for the mo-
ment it is impossible to see the i'm
portance of the German gain, especi-
ally with the near approach, of win
ter, when military operations in, this
northern region are almost impossi-
BILE.
Heavy Austrian Losses. ....
Advices to the Italian embassy in
Washington are to the effect that in
the present offensive the Austrians
have lost more than 128,000 men.
Reports from Udine, Italy, give the
Austrian losses as one-third of the
first line army.
The batteries of Field Marshal
Haig are still pouring an incessant
fire against the German trenches in
Flanders, but as yet the anticipated
new dash by his men to capture them
Las not started. Doubtless the knock
ing down of the defenses has. not
reached the limits which the British
commander always requires before
he throws his infantrymen into the
fray. 49, o.. ~. e:
On the remainder of the front in
the west, held by the British, there
have been the usual trench-raiding
operations, in one of which south Of
Monachy-Le-Preux German dugouts
and machine guns were destroyed
and some prisoners taken.

have suffered .intolerable wrongs at
the hands of the imperial German
Government, but they deside no re-
prisal upon the German people, who
have themselves suffered all things
in this war, which they did not choose
They believe that peace should rest
upon the rights of peoples, not the
rights of governments-the rights
of peoples great or small, weak or
powerful-their equal right to free
dom and security and self-govern-
ment and to a participation upon
fair terms in the economic oppor-
tunities of the world-the German
people, of course, included, if they
will accept equality and not seek
domination.
"The test, therefore, of every
selfish and exclusive economic plan
of peace is this: 1t is based upon
the faith of all the peoples involved
or merely upon the word Of an am
bilious and intriguing Government,
on the one hand, and Of group of
free peoples on the other? This is
is a test which goes to the root of
the matter; and it is the test which
must be applied.
u. S. Purposes Known to World.
"The purposes of the United
States in this war are known to the
whole world-to every people to
whom the truth has been permitted
to come. They do not need to be
stated again. We seek no material
advantage of any kind. We believe
that the intolerable wrongs done in
this war by the furious and brutal
power of the Imperial Government
ought to be repaired, but not at the
expense of the sovereignty of any
people a vindication of the
sovereignty both of those that are
weak and of those that are strong.
Punitive damages, the dismember-
ment of empires. the establishment
of leagues we deem inexpedient, and
in the end worse than futile, no
proper basis for a peace of any kind,
least of all for an enduring peace.
That must be based upon justice and
fairness and hte common rights of
mankind.
"We can not take the word of
the present rulers of Germany as a
guarantee of anything that is to en-
dure, unless explicitly supported by
such conclusive evidence of the will
and purpose of the German people
themselves as the other peoples of
the world would be justified in ac-
cepting. Without such guarantees,
treaties of settlement, agreements
for Disarmament, covenants to set
up arbitration in the place of force,
territorial adjustments, reconstitu-
ton of small nations, if made with
the German Government, no man, no
nation could now depend on. We
must await some new evidence of
the purposes of the great peoples of
the Central Powers. God grant it
may be given soon and in way to
restore the confidence of all peoples
everywhere in the faith Of nations
and the possibility of covenanted
peace.

WITH RESPECT TO FAULT VEINS


The lime stone rests quartzte some three
hundred feet in thickness which in turn rests upon
Dabase, of typical texture and habit, making
foot slope of the mountain. All of the beds of the
series are as we'll opposed the leaves of book
in the walls of Queen Greek above the town
of Superior. This simple nonocnal structure is
broken. but is not otsoured by faaltng. great
fault rms from, Queen Greek through the town of
Superior and the portal Of the asma tunnel up the
ouIch, which extends northvsrd from the Magma
mine. This fault brings Iimestones of carbonif
erous age against Diabase and Quartzte. There
are also cross-fractures running at right
angles to the exposed lodges of the lime stone bed.
The best known of these faults is the one which
the Magma mine is located.

OUND
DEAD NEAR DAM

Sheriff Wilky, accompanied by
Deputy Nafzinger left yesterday aft
ernon for Roosevelt, to investigate
the death of an unknown Indian
found lying at the foot of cliff of
the dam.
The first intimation of the affair
reached the sheriffs office from Mesa
by phone. The news of the Indians
death had been telephoned to Mesa
with a request that Judge Kings
bury make the trip over the noun
tainS to act as coroner.
The judge telephoned Sheriff Wilky
who at once started for Roosevelt
In Mesa Judge Kingsbury' was picked
up.
From the story which was phcned
from Roosevelt, it was thought at the
sheriffs office that the Indian met
with foul play.
