those four years or more So. In the
past the special state aid went to
schools in Lyons, Chenille, Delton and
others where there is more than one
room, but in the future the state aid
will go only to one-room schools. The
following are those in Sank county
who received the state aid for 1916

M The British and French
forces in Flanders have kept
engaged about half the total Ger
Gan forces on the western front
without any success being recorded
for the German arms, according to q
review Of the situation made public
today by the French high commission.
A summary says:
we can conclude that the strength
Fnd continuity OF the AngIo-F French
offensive which have until this day
prevented Germany from undertaking
offensive operations on a large scale
on the Russian front, viii perhaps
restrict the help which Germany
could give the Austrian army on the
Italian front, Up TO such time as the
situation can be retrieved on this

Germans Used 20 Divisions.
There is clear proof the statement
says. the Germans were forced 10
employ successfully 40 divisions TO
hold the allies in check in the battle
OF Flanders, or about one half their

that they suffered enormous losses.
