Britain's Sea Grip
Shown in Catteeat
Germans Taunted for Permit
ting Ten Trawlers To
Be DESTROYED

LONDON, April 1S.-The British
naval success against German mine
sweepers in the Cattegat recently,
says the Daily Telegraph" is suffi-
cient answer to the Germans who say
that the British Grand Fleet is in hid
ing.
"Such sweep" adds the Telegraph,
"can be made only by a power in real
control of the sea, confronted by an
enemy who will not risk protecting his
small craft and suspecting that such
intervention might be the prelude to a
general action which he desires to
avoid. The Germans had large naval
1orces near the scene on this particu-
lar Monday. They did not send them
out, but, on the contrary, permitted d
ten trawlers to be destroyed virtually
under their very eyes"

ceau had long conference last night
with Lord Miner, the new British War
Secretary.
LONDON, April 18.-The appoint
ment of Viscount Miner to the War
Secretaryship, it is considered, will
make for efficiency, as he is rated by
many as the strongest member Of the
War Cabinet. Personally he is not
among the popular politicians, because
he is extremely conservative in his
views, and the Liberals always have
condemned his South African policy.

ular personality, which induces the
view that he will fit we'll into diplo-

Cabinet without portfolio since Decem-
Der 10, 1916. the Earl of Derby has
been at the head of the War Office
since the Lloyd George Cabinet took

Viscount Miner was British High
Commissioner for South Africa pre-
'ylous to 1905, and from 1902 to 1905
ne was Governor Of the Transvaal and
the Orange River Colony. He was born
in 1854.
Mr., Chamberlain, the eldest son of
Joseph Chamberlain, mas been a promi-
nent figure in public life for q score
Of years. His last previous post was
Secretary for India, which he resigned
last July after being censured by the
commission which investigated the dis
astrous first campaign Of the British
In Mesopotamia. Mr.. Chamberlain, who
as Secretary of State for India was
largely responsible for the arrange
ments for the campaign, admitted in
the House of Commons that serious er-
rors had been made, particularly in re-
gard to the hospital service.

Miner probably is the ablest. He is
an advocate of war to tnish he is
called a Prussian by his enemies; he is
not afraid, and never worries about DO
litical consequences.
At this crisis Miner is likely to run
the War Department with an iron hand

County Where Much Damage
Has Been Wrought
(From Saturdays daily.)

DR.. and Mrs. Edward Zwicker, Mrs.
John Meisser and Mr.. and Mrs. j. E.
Mold motored to Plain and Lone Rock
on Thursday, and among other things
saw the following:
At Lone Rock it was a common
sight to see men, women and chill
dren with their heads done up, their
arms in sings and with cut faces. The
business places were nearly all demol-
ished, nothing but foundations left.
Six box cars that were standing on the
track were blown over and one car
with the ruins Of the town. The
streets are filled with sightseers and
work. The people there are greatly
in need, some not able to find any of
their belongings.
At one home near Lone Rock where
the house was destroyed, carpet rags
were seen strung in every direction.
Between Lone Rock and Spring
Green the lovely buildings on two
large farms were completely demol-

the house was destroyed except the
hardwood floor which had not re-
ceived a broken board. The people
we're in the cellar and did not know
what had happened until they came
upstairs, when they found themselves
out Of doors. There was nothing left
of the large elm trees about the farm
excepting the trunks. No leaves or
branches were in sight.
At Plain the prettiest house was
torn down and not even chair could
be found. The pumping station, made
Of concrete blocks, is also gone. The
marsh near the edge of Plain is COW
cred with boards and rafters stuck in
the ground. At restaurant run by
two ladies the large plate glass was
blown in and the wind swept through
the building, taking the back part Of
the restaurant out.
Between Plain and Spring Green
nearly every barn is down.

Some Facts About Babies
How Many of These Apply to the
Little Folks at Home?
Eureka Springs, Ark.

Most healthy babies are twice as
heavy when they are five months old
as they were at birth, and three times
their birth weight when they are a
year old.
Baby sould gain a quarter of a
pound or more each week for the first
six months of his life, and slightly less
than that up to the date the first can
die is put on his birthday cake.
An averaging of large number of
statistics shows that a baby fed from
its mothers breast has just ten times
the chance to live, grow and escape
disease that baby has If brought up
on the bottle. (There is always some
thing wrong when mother either can
not or will not nurse her baby.)
A child should gain about five
pounds a year from its first to its
eleventh birthday, and twice that each
year until it is fourteen.
To grow properly, child must have
enough food, sleep and fresh air.
The so-called harmless" contagious
diseases prevalent among children not
only kill the weak and unfit, but al
ways temporarily impair the health
and impede the growth of those who
survive So mothers who let their
children play with little neighbors
who have munps or measles or chick
en-pox, because they would rather
they had them while they are little
and get it over with" are needlessly
exposing their children to serious
danger.
: All these things will be brought uI
in interesting lectures, discussions and
! exhibits during the conference week
of the child welfare campaign to be
held here June to 9. Watch this pa
per for the program. There will be
something for YOU in it.

Farewell to the School

Still sits the schoolhouse by the road,
But I am sadly grieving;
For this dear schoolhouse by the road
Forever [ am leaving.
I enter now the school Of life,
More things l will be learning;
But toward old Greenfield, No. 4,
My heart is ever yearning.
I love to think Of by-gone days,
Of how l studied and l won,
And after eight long years Of work
I now have finished, and am done.
Then thanks to all that helped me
through,
When my vessel was tempest tossed,
And strong winds fiercely blew,
And | did not know what to do.
| shall always remember and try to
repay
The good I received by going to
school
And / shall struggle forever on,
TIL after hard work l shall reach
the goal.
Dear school, I leave thee with a sigh,
Today to thee I say goodbye.
Goodbye, dear playmates, and teacher,
toe,
That lent a hand to help me through
VII
The dear old schoolhouse will decay,
For earthly things don't last forever
But the memories of it shall not fade
f&de away,
Dear school, I'll forget thee never!
