The charter or ordinance of New
Britain makes no provision for any
lawyer or layman to conduct prosecu-
tons for the state in case the prose-
scouting attorney is not present. ON
one day this week. due to a misunder-
standing, neither the assistant nor
the prosecutor were present when
court opened and. as result there
was a half hours delay. If either of
the judges are absent a justice of the
peace may occupy the bench, but nos
one can act as understudy to the pros
secutOrs.

.AUsTRIANs BEATEN AT TONALE.
'wo Severe Attacks Are Replused
! With Heavy Loss.

Rome, June l5-The text of yester-.
days war Office announcement, telling
of the sanguinary check inflicted upo:;
an ambitious Austrian attack on the
Tonale pass is as follows:
"In the early hours yesterday after
an intense and extended artillery
preparation the enemy attempted to
for@e our defenses in the Tonale pass,
launching an infantry attack agains:
the summit of Monticello ridge and ir.-
mediately north and south of the i'm
portant road
"The impetus Of the assault was
broken in our advanced lines, and later
counter attacks and concentration OF
our artillery arrested the enemy def
nitely, driving him back.
subsequently a new attack was at.
tempted north of the road, which was
promptly crushed by our barrage fire
The losses of the enemy, particularly
in the support of positions in his rear
were very heavy. One hundred ant
thirty prisoners from four different
regiments and several machine gun:
remained in our hands.

monkey was gathering pennies ana
cutting up pranks for the edltlcatlon
of the crowd. The women were es-
pecially pleased with the simian's per-
formances. The man and the monkey
were linked with the history Of our
planet long before Charles Darwin
asked the significant question, "Has
man evolved from the simiap crea-
tion?"
Adam Clarke, commentator on the
Bible, standard authority with many
Christians, believed that the creature
which caused the fall Of the human
race was of the monkey species. and
if his theory be correct, women should
look upon this parody on the genus
homo with horror.
Mahomct makes Monkeys play
conspicuous part in his theology. The
socalled prophet of Arabia in his Al
Koran tells us that the simian crea'
tion-gorillas, chimpanzees, gibbons
apes. balloons, monkeys, etc.-were
formerly men whom Allah turned IN
to their present shape for violating
the Sabbath.

CHEERFUL NEWS

For the last few days the battle
news has been favorable. The latest
German drive has apparently been
brought TO standstill The French
resistance throughout that drive has
been more spirited and more effective
than in either the first Picardy as
sault or that in Champagne. There
were no surprises, no tremendous
gains. As a result the news Of the
dav is cheerful in tone. The stock
ma:Eet-that barometer which re-
fleets war as we'll as business condi-
tons and which, as cotemporary re-
marks. has neither conscience nor pa
tr;otism, but colaly and calculatingly
measures values-has been markedly
strong. Things seem to be in good
shape.
We have every reason fer conf
dence. as an exchange says. We
know the spirit Of the British and the
French, we know the spirit of our
own troops. We know that we are
ccin~ to win the war. We know. even
if the German generals do not. ~
pretend that they do not, th:; the
Americans have now in France an
army that is already big and will
shorty be enormous. We hava every
reason for full faith in F,'h, RI"
allied commander.
Confidence, resolution, determine
ton, cooperation and faith-these are
the watchwords of the hour. Let all
Americans regard them!

POOLING GERMAN NATION

Since humor in German official,
especially if he be minister Of war; is
an unknown quantity, as the Rlcn-
mond Journal says, the speech. of Gen.
von Stein to the reichstag, in which
he declared that the crown prince mad
inflicted one of the gravest defeats the
entente has suffered in the entire war,
must be taken seriously. Moreover,
he let il be known that the socalled
Foch reserve army no longer exists.
AS for the American troops, declared
the Prussian war minister, in re-
view of the military situation, their
number and strength are far below
what Germany had been led to expect.
This is his peroratlon:
"Filled with gratitude, we regard
our Incompatible army. For almost
four years it has born with undimln-
ished strength of will and confidence
OF victory all the dangers, exertions
and hardships. The sarve dash winch
in 1914 led US into the enemy coun-
trv. decided the war in east 1t still
lives today, as does our spirit OF alb
solute superiority over our enemies.
We are more conscious Of the army's
strength, and our confidence IN It's
LADDERS RI continue to lead on to VIC
tory. The enemy is not yet prepared
for peace. 1t is still the day OF the
sword, but the sword remains sharp.
We look forward to the issue of the
struggle with complete confidence
AS our cotempora.y says, this may
he graveyard courage, it may be for
the reichstag and 'tne peoples con-
sumption, but it is certainly not based
on facts, if the stories told of cap
tured Huns and their low morale re-
fleet the general attitude of the Ger
man troops.
Contrast General Won STEMS state
ment with the doubt expressed in the
Vorwaerts. the Socialist organ in Ber-
lin. as to the present. German Often
sive. at only proves that the German
soldiers are strong. but nothing more"
So, also, are the British, the French,
the Italians and the Americans strong
and they will never consent to Ger
man peace. as the Vorwaerts admits.

CABINET OFFICERS

Vice President Marshall recently
said: !.
81 think it would be 3 good thing,
though, if the Cabinet ministers, who,
under our form Of government, are
really executive secretaries, were
given the power to come on the floor
Of the House and Senate and explain
personally the needs Of their depart
ments. They should also be subject
to cross-examination by the members.
In that way, through personal con-
tact, public business could be trans
acted more quickly"
The constitution Of the late South
ern Confederacy was, in the main,
taken from the Federal Constitution.
There was certain Improvements, how
ever, in the older instrument made
necessary by the changed order Of
things. The constitution of the Con-
federacy provided that members OF
the cabinet be allowed the freedom Of
the floor of both branches of Congress
in order that they might explain the
needs of their respective departments.

City People. Help with Farm Work.

Nine hundred experienced men were
placed in regular farm work in one
month this spring in Ohio, largely
through the efforts of the farm help
specialists of the U. S Department of
Agriculture. Records Of similar
nature are being made in other States
where special efforts have been made
to bring about a close cooperation be-
tween the town and country. For this
purpose pledges are being secured in
each town, city and village from men
who have had previous farm expert
ence, to devote a few days or weeks of
their time to harvest work during the
coming season if their service should
be needed. Farm-help specialists in
Kansas have secured pledges of this
kind from $4,000 city residents who
have promised to devote two to fifteen
days of their time to harvest work
this summer. Similar results have
been obtained in Indiana, Illinois,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Penn
sylvania, Georgia and Kentucky.
Campaigns are either in active pro-
gress or being planned in every State.

Cumberland, Nd, June 15.-Cumber-

unloading freight at the Baltimore and
Ohio station here, so cars being tieu

Two squads of lawyers of ten each will

Washington, June ii Upon tina
ground that President Wilson has

The Presidents message to Euro,

They lay emphasis upon this because
the votes to pass the suffrage measure
will have to come from the Presidents
own party, recent polls of the Sen"N
have shown. There are enough doubt
full members on either side to decida
the result, but those Republicans who
are against suffrage are classed as
Coupled with the Presidents virtual
request that the Senate approve SUI
