Now that the new year is here,
rich in possibilities, with bright and
promising future ahead, let US strive
with renewed effort and determine
ton to so write its history that at its
close we may have no unpleasant
recollections of its passing. We can
not undo the things that have been
done nor unsay the things that have
been said, but we can profit by our
past mistakes and strengthen our
resolutions of amendment. The past
year has brought its joys, sorrows
and disappointments, but let US take
courage and press on to higher and
:nobler things, remembering that our
heavenly Father will guide the foot
steps of those who place their trust
in Him.

Our General Assembly meets on
the 9th inst for a forty days session.
The responsibility of each and every
representative should not be under
estimated, for if one does his duty,
his mental capacities are taxed all
the time. With the vast number of
bills that are introduced at every
session he must needs work and work
hard to represent the best interest
of his constituents. There will be
several matters of vital interest to
come before the Assembly, chief
among which will be legislation look
ing toward amending the insurance
situation, besides legislation of To-
cal character.

The year 1917 promises to be q
successful year from every stand
point, and we believe that we are en-
tering on a period of great prosper

We profit all the more from its teach

Austria's New Cabinet

LONDON. Sept. 2O.-The "Tribuna,"
Of Rome, prints the following CORE
spondence from Austria on the nature
Of the new Cabinets;
"The principal thing which can be
said Of the new Austrian Cabinet is
that there is nothing new about it.
"Seidler believes that he has accom-
plished q great deal because he has
elected TO his Cabinet representatives
Of all the mathematics Of the empire.
Besides Germans, Poles and Bohe-
mians, Slovenians and Ruthenians were
also TO be represented there for the
first time in Austrian history. They
were TO be represented, but they are
not. The representative of nation
ality, SAYS the Zeit,' cannot be nomi-
mated. He must be elected by the ma
tionality itself.
"Au the new ministers, il must be
admitted, are respectable persons, pro-
fessors in universities and competent
officials. They may propose to the
Parliament magnificent laws, but the
Parliament will not approve them be-
cause they are not projects or laws
which Austria needs. The government
wants one thing, the citizens another.
The only factor which is now pre-
dominant in Austria IS the bureau
cracy.

LONDON. Oct 4.-The Germans on
the southwestern front in Russia have

bacco into the Russian trenches and

trenches. The Russian troops replied,
according to the "Russki Volya," with

German airmen continue their attacks

A long conference was devoted 10

Attacks at Verdun
French Attempt Fails and

Hurled Back

LONDON, Oct. 4.-Both the French
and the Germans made strong attacks
on the Verdun front, at Hill 344. to-
day, but neither side was able to pene-
trate the enemy's lines or alter the
general situation.
Petaia's troops advanced against the
German positions on Hill 344, which is
held in part by both sides, early this
morning, in deep columns. Striking the
German barrage, the attackers were
unable to reach the objective trenches,
according TO Berlin, which adds that
the French suffered heavy losses in the
action. The German assault came later
in the day, and was equally unsuc-
cessful.
On the rest OF the French front the
only activity was north OF the Aisne.
where the Crown Prince attempted
local attacks west of Pompelle, with
out gaining any advantage. The artil-
lery duel on the whole Nerdun front
is declared by both sides to be con-
tinuing with great intensity.

herself and her allies for war work so
as to enable them to perform the duties
demanded Of them in the prolonged
struggle. Therefore, he pointed out, u
was necessary to study financial and
economic measures for cooperation
with the Allies, especially the onited
States.
Viscount Kaneko, as presiding oifcer:
declared that only the joint efforts OF
America and Japan could exploit and
develop the resources of China. In TINS
connection he said Japan always would
uphold the John Hay doctrine of equal
opportunity and the open dor.
Viscount Motono said that he re-
garded with a feeling Of enthusiastic
hopefulness the sending TO America at
this juncture of such financial mis-
sion as that headed by Baron Megats,
closely identified with the financial life
of modern Japan. Recently, the FOR

ception of Japan's aims and ideals had
been replacing American misgivings.
He was sure that this presaged com

nations.
