TURKS HOLD OWN IN
FIGHT WITH BRITISH


on the Irak front in Asiatic Turkey,
the British and Turks have been en-
gagged in hard fighting at Sannaiyat,
about II miles northeast of kut-cl-
Amara. In their onslaught the British
captured front line Turkish positions at
two places respectively on frontages
Of $50 and $40 yards.
Their tenure of the positions was
short lived, however, for the Turks in
two heavy counter attacks forced the
British right wing back upon its or
iginal line. The left wing continued
the struggle of attempting to hold back
the Turks until near night fall when
1t also fell back, covered by the fire of
the British guns.
Aside from this engagement, no
fighting of importance is reported.

over $1,000 home slaughtering' per
mits we're issued between November

Of the districts of Niederbarnim and

Of them were considerably heavier,
and some weighed 900 pounds Dur.
ing the next two months about 10000
more pigs will become old and heavy

BRITONSSTUDY
FOOD SUPPLY
tBy Associated Prcssl

LONDON, Eng stat
istics for 1916 relating to England and
Wales have just been issued by the
board of agriculture They show why,
apart from the growing difficulty OF
obtaining supplies from overseas, spe.
cial attention is devoted to increasing
the home, production of certain food
staples, more particularly wheat, pota.
toes and pigs.
The area under wheat in 1916
amounted to 1,912,20S acres, being
Isl 1862 acres, or about IL per cent,
less than in the previous year. The
area under potatoes last year was
427 ,946 acres, 35,451 acres below that
of 1915 The total number OF pigs
raised was 2,167,94f, a decline OF
252 ,086, or nearly 1914 per cent, as
compared with the preceding year.
On the other hand the total number
of cattle returned last year was 6,215,-
7S1, the largest number recorded since
returns we're collected and showing an
increase of Isl, 627 over the total OF
1915. English people are the greatest
consumers of mutton in the world and
il is satisfactory to note that the to-
tai number last year was 1851 ,123,
an increase of 428,546, as compared
with the preceding year. The total
number of horses on agricultural hold
ings was 1,359,566. an increase of 51s
per cent.
The total area of land in England
and Wales is BIB, 564 acres. OF this
IL ,051, 101 were returned as arabic
land, 16,022, 1888 acres as permanent
grass and 3,S16,083 acres as noun
tain and heath land, used for grazing
last year These figures indicate an
increase of 1884 acres of arabic land
and a decrease of 64.410 in perma-
rent grass, while rough cravings in
creased by 51.377 acres. The total
area returned as bare fallow in 1916
was 421.SS6 acres, or 112,247 acres in
excess of 1915.
II is to the large area of land now
devoted TO permanent grass that Eng
land must look for the means OF any
considerable increase in her food
products. Meanwhile everybody is
urged to raise potatoes, pigs or poul-
try in his back yard.

.COUNTY'S CASE UP
IN SUPREME COURT
Officials Left Today to be
Present at Argument
Tomorrow.

The case Of Marion county against
the Federal government comes up in
the Supreme Court at Washington, D.
c., tomorrow in which the county asks
$4,000 damages, sustained by the
Rivesville roads by the Stacking of the
Mohongahela river. Lee SWisher and
M. v. MILAN, of the county court, A. G..
Martin, county clerk, and W, R. Hag-
gerty, prosecuting attorney, left Fair
mont for Washington this afternoon.
The case has been in the courts for
more than two years. The stacking Of
the river made 1t necessary to secure
new rights of way in some instances
and completely put that road out Of
commission. The county court is par
ticularly anxious to get favorable de.
cision in this case at an early date as
the work on the Paw Paw roads is to
begin shortly.

Hereafter sentries Will
Shoot to Kill After
First Challenge.
ITHREE ATTENPS MADE
Fairmont Fire Department
Made Splendid Run to
the Camp.

After two attempts last night, one
at nine o'clock and one at midnight
marauders finally succeeded in setting
fire to the First regiment stables at
four o'clock this morning. They were
destroyed.
At nine o'clock the sentry called to
some one moving about in the dark
ness behind the stables and the NOV
ing object disappeared. At midnight
the same occurrence took place. This
time the sentry called the detail, which
in turn called the officer of the DAY ana
Color ell Robert Osborn The detail with
the officers searched for some one IN
the surrounding territory but found
nothing.
At four o'clock this morning flames
shot from the rear of the stable, haY'
ing been set afire from the outside.
Fire call was sounded and the Fair
mont fire department was called.
Within five minutes every man in camp
and the fire department were working
at tying to control the flames.
Unable to extinguish them the fire
men chopped away the connecting sec
ton of another stab G and allowed thir'
ty stalls to burn down. There were
at the time the fire call was sounded
81 horses in the stable. All these were
got out. Guards were sent in all d.
rections securing the nearby territory
but all returned without finding any
thing. Due to this act orders have been
given all men at the camp that begin
ming tomorrow one call to halt will be
all that will precede firing upon any
person in daylight or after dark. This
will, the officers at camp think, pre-
vent a repetition Of the fire last night,
The back Of the stables is protected
by a high board fence the other side
Of which any person could crawl with
out being easily detected. This is per-
haps the manner in which the incen'
diary returned at four o'clock this
morning Company F, of Martinsburg'
was on guard at the time, a thorough
ly efficient company and one very ca
pable of handling guard duty. Who
ever set the fire knew of the surrounds
ings, for he picked stall in which
there were dozens Of bales of straw
and other combustible articles.
Colonel Osborn praised the fire de-
partment which made the run from
headquarters to the camp arriving al
the stables five minutes after being
called. The men had all necessary
equipment with them and aided great
ly in preventing the spread of the
flames. Men who were in the tents
close to the fire jumped into the work
Of extinguishing the Haze in theil
night clothes, the flames being so hot
that this haste IN dressing proved 4
blessing. The matter will be looked
into further and with the guards in
structed that they must empty theil
guns into any person caught moving
about in darkness TOO close TO The
grounds it is quite likely that Mobil
ization camp has seen its first and last
fire caused by incendiaries.
