dieated by yohr perfect petor-
nance. A.

she was taken to the Municipal

TO-DAY'S COLLISION.
A collision ocurred to-day, at
noon time, between Electric Car
No. 27 and the Power Roller No.
%, at Puerta de TERRA, near the
Wireless Station. The fault seems
to have been entirely the motor
mans, who having seen the roller
ahead, almost over the track, did
not moderate the speed, but sim
ply kept on, as if he were the only
person in the vehicle.
Due to a yeritable miracle the
personal injuries were limited to
a small child anlfa man who with
bruises on the arms; many more
victims mighthaye happened at this
serious accident, the roller having
ripped away from the left side of
the car all of the wood work, cur
taind, wire guards, glass panes,
etc. Once more we call the at
tention of the Company and the
local authorities to the continuous
repetition of such accidents.

but the German losses were so heavy
that the movement was at length
abandoned. And SO both French and
British have been able to make limit
ed gains by the policy of concentrat-
ing forces to obtain superiority at
given point, but the question Of how
much advantage is won by such at
tacks depends upon the stratgica1
value of the ground and the cost of
the movement in casualties. The
German authorities have frankly
staked everything on this effort They
have declared that this is to be the
decisive blow, have rallied their
armies by re-enforcements and cheer
ed the country with the hope of early
peace as the result of victory. If they
fail to break through after doing their
utmost, and after enduring the terri
BILE losses which they must suffer, the
disappointment will be bitter and the
loss of morale inevitably great. The
United States will become a con-
stantly more formidable factor in the
situation, and the possibility of Ger
man victory will grow more and more
remote and improbable. - National

THE WAR SITUATION.

Interest is intensely centered at the
moment upon the battle front in
France, where the long-predicted
German offensive is in action, with all
the power which the redoubtabIe war
machine can muster. With the dis
appearance of Russia as a combat
ant and the consequent release of the
German and Austrian troops on that
front, it was to be expected that as
soon as preparations were completed,
and before the forces of the United
States were fully in the field, the
German commanders would make a
supreme effort to break down the al
lied lines on the west. If they are
ever TO win, obviously the spring of
1918 is the time for them to do it,
and it is certain that they will spare
no sacrifice in the attempt. The
method is the familiar one in military
science of seeking first to establish
artillery superiority at a given point,
and following this up by throwing
overwhelming forces of infantry
against the enemy line. Some degree
Of success in pushing back the enemy
usually attends such efforts. The at.
tack upon Verdun made Roadway fol-
time and the French and English
papers prepared their readers for the
probable abandonment of the place

POTATO BUTTER.

Potato butter is recommended by
the British Ministry Of Food as a
cheap substitute for butter, being made
in England at a cost of less than 10
cents per pound, as follows:
Peel the potatoes and boil until
they fall to pieces and become f1oury
Then rub through a fine sieve into a
warmed basin IA ounces of potatoes
and add 2 ounces of butter or marga-
rine and 1 teaspoonful of salt. Stir
until smooth and then mold into rolls
and keep in a cool place. To make the
appearance approvable use butter col
oring, and if intended to keep beyond
a few days a butter preservative
should be added"

CANDIDATES FOR
OFFICERS ON AN
ELIGIBLE LIST

Washington, April 19-Ten thous-
and or more student officers who to-
day have completed their course of
training at national army environments
and national guard camps, will not be
graduated and given commissions,
but will be placed on an eligibility
list, from which in order of their
ratings they will be commissioned
and called to service as the army
needs them.
The men are exclusively non-com-
missioned officers and privates of the
National army, ..ational Guard, and
regular army or students from col
leges having military courses in the
curriculum.
Until called to duty as officers,
these men will wear white brassards
on their arms as an insignia of their
status They will be called to the
service in small groups. Conse-
quently it is impossible to present to-
day any list of graduates as was
done when the two previous series of
camps closed.
Any man who has remained in the
camps until today is assured Of a
place on the eligible list.
Late reports to the War Depart
ment bear out the estimate that sixty
per cent. of the men admitted will
complete the course.
Elimination of unfit students has
been proceeding practically since the
opening of the camps. Physical ex-
aminatiens eof those who passed all
other tests began on April 9.
In each division school, students
drawn from the division organizations
will be placed in an eligible list for
Infantry, or eligible list for Field Ar
| tiIlery," according to a war depart
ment memorandum. Students from
other sources will be placed on sep.
arate lists for the same arms 1t is
the purpose of the War Department
to return the new officers, so far az
is practicable to the units fror
which they were taken.

PATRIOTS DAY.

The first battle in the revolution
of the American colonies was fought
lab years ago today, April 10, 1775,
and the anniversary has long been
celebrated as a holiday by the people
of Massachusetts, and Maine. The
story of the ride of Paul Revere, and
of the minute men who opposed the
existing authority and so brought on
the conflict at Lexington and the
fight. at Concord, will be retold today
in thousands of American school
rooms, and there will not be the
slightest feeling against those who
once sought to rule US, but who to-
day are our allies in the battle for the
freedom of the world. Early on the
morning of the fateful day a British
column commanded by Maj. Pitcairn
came upon a company of minute men
drawn up on the Lexington village
green. The minute men were COM
manded by John Parker, who had
fought with Wolfe on the plains of
Abraham. Pitcairn ordered the men
to disperse, and, when they refused,
he ordered his men to fire. The
soldiers hesitated, for, after all, they
were Engfishmen, men of their own
blood, whom they were asked to slay.
Pitcairn discharged his own pistol and
fired the shot that was heard around
the world, and again ordered his men
to shoot This time they obeyed and
laid seven of the minute men dead
and ten wounded upon the village
green. Before the day was over the
war was on in grim earnest, and at
Lexington and Concord the Ameri-
cans lost 80 and the British 273 men.
The wounds inflicted by this war
lasted for many years, but now they
have fortunately been healed.

WATER DAMAGE TO FLOUR

It is a weIl-known fact among sail
ors that flour will not only float after
immersion in sea water, but suffers
very little damage. To ascertain the
actual damage, says the Northwestern
Miller, a baker in New South Wales
submerged a bag of flour in the ocean
and left it in the water Ct hours. A
9S-pound weight was necessary to sink
a 15O-pound bag, which would have
supported rs pounds on top of the
water, it is estimated, or half its own
weight When lifted and weighted, the
bag scaled 155 pounds. 1t was dried
for four days and yielded 120 pounds
of perfectly dry -four, the bag and
waste weighing % pounds. Baked
into bread, it gave perfect results.

Consolidation of the freight and
passenger traffic of the three rail
roads operating into Aberdeen was
effected Wednesday. The entire
business will be handled from the
Illinois Central depot in charge OF
P. A Dulin. who will have super
vision of the entire traffic. The au-
thorities representing the three rail
roads were in the city Wednesday
looking after the details of the con-
solidation. The concentration was
tentatively decided upon several
weeks ago, but since all the rail-
roads have been taken over by the
government and operated as one
system, the agreement had first to
get the approval of DirectOr-General
VIM. McAdOO before it could be-
come effective. From the one de-
pot the freight traffic can be more
expeditiOusly operated, and the
travelling public will find the union
station infinitely more to their con-
venience than a depot for each of
the three railroads.

Ex-Sheriff j. d. Cooper brought
to this Office a specimen of wheat
grown from his field Of FIVE acres.
Heads were large and fruited with
perfect grain: Mr.. Cooper will raise
enough from this acreage to supply
his own wants and then some to sell
to his neighbors. Wheat can be
grown in this territory profitably il
the idea OF meeting home. cOnsump-
ton is kept uppermost in mind.
Other things. such a. corn. peas,
potatoes. cotton. peanuts. hay. ETC..
can be grown a. money crops more
profitably, perhaps. but nothing will
pay better than for every farmer to
grow enough wheat to meet the de-
mands OF his own home. Mr.. Cooper
states that he viii plant the ground
that produced this wheat 70 com,
and says that the two crops from the
same field will asegeeete in value
- much - any one crop that he
could have planted.
