LATEST WAR BULLETINS
The Dear Peepul Lose Ground on
Front of Apparel

Battling desperately for every stitch
of ground, the Dear Peepul have been
forced back from the higher positions
about Cravat, by the latest advances
of the Wolves CollarviIle, too, is en-
dangered by an advance to the extent
of Sc made by the enemy. In fact, it
appears that the whole neck of land
on this beautiful front must sooner or
later be abandoned for the less beauti-
full country in the lowlands.
In spite of their frantic efforts, the
exhausted forces of the d. P. have
been unable to obtain anything like a
good foothold around the low quar-
tiers of Shoe, where they hoped to
make their base for the summer cam
paign. 1t would seem now, that they
must remain in the more or less in
adequate region OF Bootville which
they held all winter, at great cost, and
which is now rather barren.
Al all Other points on this line, the
d. T. have been driven back, though
perhaps to an extent not so great All
sorts of strategies have been tried to
no avail. 1t was attempted to get in
IA position to make stand near
Clothtop, overlooking Shoe, but from
this point the D. P. were driven back.
They then made strategic retreat
from the Silklands to Cotton, with the
hope of regaining this, but they were
held back by the ever alert enemy.
General Con Sternation is trying to
evolve some plan to check the VOL
YES. but thus far, he has been unable
to do SO.

LATEST WAR NEWS!
The Wolves Take Three Important
Towns. Big Spring Drive Nets
Big Gains.

The Dear Peepul have retired to
their sixth line Of defense, and the
wolves have advanced fully three
plates. Among other villages captur-
ed in their latest drive, the enemy
now hold Rice City, Spudville, and
Succotash Center. The village of
Onion is also in the hands of the
Wolves General Con Sternation, in
charge of the Dear Peepul, has retir-
ed to the line stretching from Pars-
ley Junction to Turnipton. Already
he has been forced to surrender the
cities of Cabbage, Apple, and Bread
dington.
Advancing through the Meat
Country, which they captured early in
the present encounter, the Wolves
gained foothOld around the territory
of Milk, thus makinS4he positions in
Rice, Succotash Center, and Cabbage,
untenable These latest advances
make it appear that the fall OF the
fortress of Caulifower is imminent
The evacuation of the great Beanery
Barracks was begun. by the forces of
the Dear Peepul today. Some time
ago this fort was seriously damaged
in an air raid by the enemy, and the
last advance of SC per plate, would
make it seem that the D. p forces
will retire from this point also In the
meantime, the men directing the troop
movements for the D. p. are conf
dent that the arrival of new ammuni-
ton from the farms, and the activities
Of their agents in fomenting Garden
Plots among the enemy, may bring
relief for their hard pressed forces.

REMEMBERS BOY SCOUTS
DO NOT CARRY GUNS

The Boy Scout movement does not
put the idea of killing in the minds of
Boy Scouts; it does not put instru-
ments of death into their hands
Uncle Sam does not want boy sol
diers. Military work is a mans
work There is no reason why the
nation should ask its boys to become
soldiers. They are needed for boys
work.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Ma
jor General Leonard A. Wood, the
Secretary of War, the Secretary of
the Navy, the Chief of Staff of the
United States army-thesc men, Sc
riously concerned with the proper
preparations of our boys for their full
duty as citizens, are officers of the
Boy Scouts of America. On April
End, Major General Hugh L. Scott.
Chief of Staff, wrote:
"Thc necessary elementary in
struction that every young Ameri
can should have in order to be :
prepared to play his part in the
National defence can be obtained
by his work in the Boy Scouts of
America"
A National Education Committee,
after thorough investigation of the
ACCESSIBILITY of military training for
schoolboys reported:
The Boy Scout Movement and
the activities of similar associ-a
tons of young people, which
avoid military exercises, but
which involve features designed
to promote health and strength,
and inculcate courtesy, mutual
respectfulncss. uprightncss, and
patriotic devotion should be en-
outraged
The boys work in the Boy Scouts
of America does not include strictly
military drill The Scout movement
has found a far better way to train
and use boys in our country's SER
vice in times like these. The eminent
military men named above, the Presi-
dent of the United States, Governors
educators, pastors, business and pro-
fessional men know, and have said
that the Scout Movement provides
more beneficial training for boys OF
scout age than any military course.
When you see boy carry gun
when you see the picture OF boy
with gun-you may be sure that he
is not Boy Scout. as the term Boy
Scout is understood throughout the
world Don't call him Boy Scout
If you do SO you do grave injustice
and real harm to the movement OF
which the President of the United
States is the Honorary President and
which has the hearty support Of all
men and women who are eager to see
the 100000 boys of today develop
into wholly efficient citizens.

At $50 mediators were to meet
brotherhood chiefs, presumably to
receive their answer to governments
proposal, the nature of which is not
revealed, at II o'clock, but seven
hours in advance of strike deadline
mediatOrs will meet the managers.
Saml GOmpers, pres. of A. F. of L.,
had not joined his fellow mediators
early today. It was learned on high
authority that he may not appear in
the negotiations.
GOmpeTs directed the great labor
meeting in Washington which de-
clared for universal training and CO.
operation with the government. He
has emphasized patriotic angles of
every question before him lately
There aer rUmOrs that he may find
himself at issue with brotherhood
chiefs in pressing their demands at
this time
As Gompers pledged his support to
brOtherhOods in their 8-hOur day
fight, his position in revival of the
controversy is embarrassing.
w. G. Lee, president of trainmen,
declared with emphasis, shortly be-
fore going into conference with the
mediatOrs today, that no move to call
off the strike had been made. Tone
Of his remarks seemed to indicate the
brOtherhoods still are full of fight
81 cannot discusses what transpired
at the conference" he said. Labor
was fully represented.
II understand Mr.. GOmpers is sup
posed to be at Atlantic City and that
they have been trying to get into
touch with him by telephone and by
telegraph"

possibility that supreme court will
hand down its AdamsOn law decision
Monday.

At 6 o'clock tonight all the rail
road men in Chicago will walk out
on strike. Everything has been ar
ranged. Only an eleventh-hOUr mes
sage from the east will half the
strike. Union leaders rested on their
arms today Talk Of dissensiOn pub
Ished in the trust press proved an
exaggeratiOn. All the men are unit
ed. The only trouble the leaders have
met is in keeping some Of the more
radical members from acting hastily.
The vote strike yesterday was 593
to Z.
Timothy Shea, in charge Of the
Chicago end of the strike, says the
matter is now entirely in the hands
of the railroads. If a strike is pre-
vented, the managers must yield.
Brotherhood members placed in
circulation yesterday a pamphlet
charging that newspapers through
out the country had been bTibed to
create a demand for a law to sup
press industrial unrest.
The first roads tonight will be the
Santa Fe, B. & O., Belt Line, G. & A,

EARLY LANDING.

hc.uclaEn Brothers began lanbing
this year ON the l7th of February and
ave now over half through with a
band Of two thousand ewes. This was
somewhat early date, but every
procaution was taken, the ewes were
well fed and shelter pens we're pro-
vidod In a normal season the ven
'ure would have proven a complete
success. but the heavy storms Of the
latter part of the month caused con-
siderable loss after turning from
shelter to make room for later ar
rivals. the loss ACQUIRING almost in
yarlably among twins
Notwithstanding the losses, the
yield will be over ninety per cent, and
with present fine weather prevailing.
the remainder of the band will con-
siderably increase that figure. The
lambs are strong and healthy, thanks
to feeding and good care OF ewes
