Village Adopts War Baby

"Adventurer in Neighborins,' in the Christian Herald.
 The adventure in neghboring I have to tell of occurred in little village in southern Kansas, where my son lives. The young girl of my story grew to womanhood there and taught school in marriage. And there. on February 27, 1916, she and the man of her choice
 were married.
 A little. new home was begun with every promise of happiness. But over a year ago Robert W. (hearing his coun- try's calD went to the war and the brave little bride, as other brave brides
 back to close their home and carry a holy secret all alone.

BURNETT FACES FIGHT

John l.. Burnett, who has been in Congress from the Seventh district, for something like 20 years, is planning for the scrap of his life" Congress man Burnett was subjected to severe attacks by democrats of his district because of his attitude toward the ad ministration. rMr Burnett always is forced into 2 double campaign-one for nomination and one for election. This time the fight is admitted to be more difficult with O. D. Street as his~ op- ponent.
 Another question that is being asked in Alabama today is: "Will President Wilson have something else to say 1e- garding the attitude of Congressman Huddleston before the November gen eral election?"
 Alabama democrats-or those who have visited Montgomery the past week believe that President Wilson meant just what lie said about politics in the United States being adjourned for the duration of the war. They illustrate by calling attention to the request the President made of Henry Ford. the re- publican auto king. Mir Ford was a ca ndidate for the Senate from Michi- gan. President Wilson asked this re- publican to run for the Senate Demo- crats nominated him, but the reIub-
 
 Mary argue that the President would never even give the Alabama race thought now that the democratic voters have voted in the primary, and by do- ing this agreed to support the nomi- nees. But there is another argument in Alabama. The win the-war demo- crats want to vote for win the-war candidates, whether they be democrats or republicans. was the way one put it while discussing the race in the Ninth district
 FORMIDABLE RACE IN NINTH
 MT. Huddleston, it is known, must come back to Alabama to defend his right to the position to which he was nomi- hated The report from Birmingham the first of the week that Candidate Thomp- son had come out on a ''win-the-war platform" put democrats in Alabama guessing as to what would be the out come in one of the strongest democratic districts in the state. Candidate Thomp- son, democratic friends in Montgomery say, will make a formidable candidate in the Ninth district.
 Montgomery political centers don't like the idea of even believing that a re- publican can be elected to Congress from this state Whether one or more is elect ed will be decided in November, and, should republicans go to Congress from Alabama, the cause will not be the lay ing aside of democratic principles in the state, but the desire of democrats to win the war with the assistance of Alabama.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-08

talking politics Politics in Alabama, it appears has taken on~new life all this apparently being due to the nomination by the republican conven- tion in Birmingham of candidates for state and government offices, and the whirlwind beginning of the race of J. Q. Thompson, candidate for Congress in the Ninth district against George Huddleston, nominated by the demo- crats in August, after President Will son, in a strong letter, had said Con- gressman Huddleston was an opponent to the administration in the present crisis.

At the time the st. Paul was not
under steam but was being brought by
tugs from dry dock, where for the
last week she had been undergoing re-
pairs.
On her at the time were several hum
dred men-a majority of them en-
ployees Of the dry dock-whO had
been sent with the vessel to complete
their work while she was being loaded.
The st. Paul was built at cost OF
$2,65O,00O and was launched in Phila-
delphia on April II, 1895.
She normally carried crew Of 800
men. The ship is 554 feet long. with
63-foot beam.

AMERICANS HALT HUN RAID
Germans Take Clothing From the
Dead and Attempt to Reach YAM
kee Trenches-Ruse Discovered.

With the American Army in France,
April 3O.-The enemy laid down a
heavy baTage in front of the Ameri-
can trenches in the Toul sector at
three a'clock in the morning, the bonn
bardment lasting an hour.
After an interval Of silence he re-
peated the performance at five o'clock
and half an hour later the German in
fantry started for the American lines.
So intense was the American counter
attack that the enemy was repulsed
without getting close enough to be en-
gagged by the American infantry.
The Germans have been stripping
the bodies Of dead French soldiers in
other sectors and, wearing these
clothes, have come over at the point
where the French and American lines
join.
This method Of attack was used
during the attack on the Americans at
Agreement forest two weeks ago. On
that occasion they spoke French and
said they had come to assist the Amer
leans, but the ruse was discovered and
they were driven off.

enormous losses on the stock raisers'
of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari--

The screw-worm is a native of the.

Holland with the suggestion that the
situation is extremely serious, but no
one is able to give authentic details
of the alleged German demands.
The sand and gravel question takes

of several others.
The correspondent Of the Times at
The Hague mentions among other
things the reported demand that Hoi-
land guarantees to Germany supply
Of raw materials Immediately after
the war, while certain quantity OF
Dutch tonnage is demanded for the
same period.
1t is further suggested, the Times
adds, that the Germans expect to be
able to force Holland to accept such
conditions as would virtually compel
the entente allies to formally occupy
the Dutch colonies, which would
throw Holland completely into German
hands.
There are no special indications OF
nervousness noticeable in The Hague,
