Ct artillery activity heretofore asso-
cisted with raids. Talk of an impend-
neareal battle is again in the air.

press dispatches for the launching OF
the much-heralded supreme drive.

Frustrated in three successive at
tempts to break through the Italian
lines west of the Brenta, and in a
fourth attack east of the river, the
Austro- German invaders evidently
have desisted from their attacks on

vulnerable, and nowhere have met
with the slightest success.

TERN OF TEACHERS.
Important Changes Provided In Bill
Approved by Committee.

Terms of public school teachers IN
this state may hereafter be for IN
indefinite period, rather than for Il
year at time, as is now the rule.
However, when teacher has taught
in any one school for less than three
years, such teacher may be CHOSEN
annually for three consecutive years,
and then an election is for the m
definite term These changes are
provided in a bill offered by Louis o.
Wendenburg in the state senate and
has been favorably reported by tnc
public instructions and education
committee. Teachers may be icers-
ed and graded by the state depart
inent of public instruction, subject
to revocation for cause. No teacher
can be employed who does not pos
sess a license to teach. School boards
are vested with power to suspend
any teacher for cause, subject to APP
prevail of the state teachers associa-
ton.
To eliminate the poll tax as pre-
requisite for qualifying for the Dai-
lot and to enable ignorant voters to
cast their ballots are the objects of
resolution offered by r. A. Ander-
son, of Smyth, in the house. 1t IS
provided chat if he registers after
the first day of January, 1904, he
shall, unless physically unable, pre-
pare and deposit his ballot without
aid on such printed form as the law
may prescribe; but any voter reg
