4 GENERAL Survey OF
The WAR.

Friday, Mar. 9.-Latest reports from
the British forces in Mesopotamia
were that General Maude, advancing
toward Bagdad, was approaching the
Dialap river less than nine miles from
Bagdad
French gained on a front of nearly
a mile and to q depth of half mile in
the Champagne. Strong German works
were destroyed.
President Wilson gave orders to arm
u. S. merchant ships and called an
extra session of congress for April Is.
Saturday, Mar. 1O.-In an advance
on a front of more than three miles
in the Ancre region in France, British
troops attacked and captured the vii
lage of Irles, northeast of Grandcourt,
and the reiehboring defenses, accord
ing to the oCicial statement from Brit
ish headquarters. More than 100 Ger
man prisoners already have been
counted and fifteen machine guns and
four trench mortars were captured.
The British forces have come in con-
tact with a new Turkish line on the
Diala river, six miles below Bagdad.
which point, apparently, the Turks
have chosen to defend that ancient
city. General Maude, commander of
the British forces in Mesopotamia, has
announced that the Turks are holding
the new line in some strength and that
his troops are engaging them.
Sunday, Mar. 11.-British forces
under Gen. Maude have captured the
important city of Bagdad from the
Turks.
In northwest Persia the Russians
have captured the town of Sahna and
the Ottomans, who were driven out Of
Hamadan, are still in retreat.
Germans north of the Aisne have
been engaged in violent artillery
duel with the French. The French
carried out successfully several sur
prise attacks on German trenches.
Berlin admits the retirement of the
Germans before the British near Irles
an Saturday.
Monday, Mar. 12.-Striking in the
Champagne region on a front of 1900
pagne the French recaptured all the
positions previously taken by the Ger
mans on ridge 1876 and also invaded
German fortified work.
British entered German trenches in
the vicinityof Bouchavnes, north of
Peronne, and also carried raids sue
cessful1y to the south of Arras. In
the latter action the German positions
were bombed and many casualties
were inflicted ON their occupants.
The Turks are reported by Petro-
grad to have made a further retreat
in Persia, this time leaving a position
near Bisitun and retiring toward Had
jiabad. Busitun was occupied by the
Russians.
After announcing the fall of Bagdad
in the house of commons Andrew
Bonar Law, chancellor of the excheq-
uer, said there was every reason to be-
lieve that two-thirds of the Turks ar
tillery had fallen into the hands of
the British or had been thrown into
the TigriS.

Women Favor Trading Stamps.
A big crowd of Milwaukee women
came to Madison to express their
views on bills regulating the use of
trading stamps. Most of the women
spoke against any move to do away
with the trading stamps.
In the assembly the Kent measure
for an eight hour day in printing
plants which handle state printing was
advanced to engrossment. This is
only one of several bills introduced
by socialists in the house which have
clear sailing. This fact has excited
considerable comment. The socialists
seem to be drawing support from the
progressive and conservative wings of
the republican party, both of which
may be playing to the little group
from Milwaukee on important bills to
come UP later.
The voting device continues to work
smoothly in the assembly. The fact
that the men do not like to change
their votes after they have been reg.
istered On the big board has had a
bearing on the organization of the as
sembly. In the old days it was easy
for members to follow a floor leader.
Now the legislators all vote at the
same time. Despite the fact that
members of Wisconsin legislature
are pretty Independent, machine vot-
ing has led to many interesting situa-
tons and not few surprises.

Road Work DELAYED.

The heavy rains of Friday last and
Wednesday of this week have delay
ed the road work in this locality.
On the Rising Sun-Sylmar road
about 1900 feet of concrete have
been laid. This is about one-quarter
of the entire stretch to the State line.
More than mile of concrete has
been laid on the Rising Sun-Porters
Bridge road, extending along the new
location about one hundred yards
south of the old road. The stretch of
completed concrete roadway extends
from the Sadler farm, better known
as the VIM. J. Evans farm, to beyond
the big Richards oak tree, where 1t
crosses the old road and runs in a
northwesterly direction across the
Howard Bradley and J. G. Richards
farms. The completed roadway has
about reached the J. G. Richards
farm.
Failure of cement shipments to
arrive on time has been cause OF
much delay recently on both roads.

Cow Eats Ten Pairs OF Stockings.

Manufacturers will likely raise the
price of stockings when they learn of
the shortage of this line of wearing
apparel, occasioned by the action of
a cow belonging to Mrs. Mary Smith,
of Camargo.
Ten pairs of stockings were wash
ed and hung on the pail fence to dry
at the Smith home Monday, when a
COW, becoming tired of eating grass
and finding the stockings within
reach, proceeded to calmly eat them.
