U S. GUNNERS SHARPSHOGTERS
Pick OF individual Germans Back OF
Lines With Ease.

With the American Army In France
Feb. 16.-Artillery sniping, Or rather
sharpshooting, has been so skilltully
carried on by the American batteries
that the Germans have begun 'straf-
ing" operations, shooting mustard
shells" (gas shells) at the offending
Yankees. Thus far the German eff
forts have resulted only in sending
one private to a hospital
The American private was outside
of his dugout when the mus tard

Our gunners have become so expert
they are able to pick off individual
men behind the enemy lines.
The commendi2g officer Of one bat
terry, observing what appeared
through his glasses to be German
officer emerging from supporting
trench which crossed exposed ground
ordered the gunners to get him.
The gunner planted she'll directly
ahead of the German officer, who was
knocked down, but Immediately pick
ed himself up. Then the gunner
dropped another shell at what appear
ed to be only three inches, directly
over the German and thi time the
officer did not stir.
A group of five Germaps came Out
of dugout to bring in their COM
, rade and were picking him up when
the gunner landed third shell Ill
rectly into the group.
Three of the men did not rise from
the ground and one crawled OH, evil

man departed from the spot with con-

Another incident of the good shoot

lookout reported smoke emerging be
hind a curve Of the enemy trench and
an officer who inspected the smudge
with his glasses decided the smoke
was coming from cook wagons, pre-
paring the enemy's evening meal
promptly said: Make EN- go "
bed hungry, sergeant.
Three rounds from our battery burst
round the uprising smoke, lhe oo-

whether the gunners had scored ol-

ponderance Of the evidence in favor
of the defendant newspaper and the
charge of the court, the refusal OF
the court to grant a new trial upon
the grounds Of the verdict of the jury
was contrary to the evidence and the
charge of the court was in error,
hence the judgement was reversed.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
declares the general rule in libel cases
to be that lin the absence of constitu-
tiona1 or statuary provisions to the
contrary, the truth of alleged libelous
publications is complete defense in
civil action for libel, but in this
state, in addition to making it appear
that the matter charged as libsllous
was true, it must also be alleged and
proved that such after was published
for good motives.
AS to the present case, the opinion
of the court states: The specific
statement which it is ALLEGED was Ii
bellous is the second paragraph of the
published artic>e. A comparison of
this paragraph with the specifications
in the charge in the court martial pro-
ceedings against the plaintiff herein
above set out will show that they are
substantially the same. That is to
say, that the published article is a
fairly accurate and truthful statement
Of the charge. The truth, the proving
of which would exonerate the defend
ant. was that the publication and sub
stantial accurate statement of the
charges referred to is not essential
in making such proof to show that
the publication was a literal reproduce
ton of the charge" The counsel in
the proceedings were Fleming and
Fleming for the plaintiff in error and
Gauldin and Jennings for the defend
ant in error.

We cannot run our schools without

that our school officials have not SUI

I personally know several teachers
Of ability who have quit teaching and
have gone into other fields of worl.
for no other reason than that they
could not afford to continue teaching

to offer teachers. a teacher holding a
First Grade Certificate, in our average
public schools, can only make about
$4,000 per month, for six to eight
months, making a total of from $500
to $500 per year; this same teacher
can go into a great many other fields
of work and make from two to three
times as much per year and not have
to contend with SO any perplexing,
breathing problems as they have to
contend with in our school rooms;
and, not alone teachers salaries are
to be considered but we must also
