German Losses Very Heavy.

The Germans on Friday along almost
all the battle front continued their at
tacks in great strength At several
points the enemy made gains against
the British but at Others was repulsed in
counter attacks, according to the Brit
ish official communication last night.
British losses were inevitable and have
been considerable but not out of proper
tion to the magnitude of the battle. The
enemy's losses continue very heavy, all
the advances being made at great sac
rifices. The greatest courage is shown
by the British troops.
The official communication given out
last night was as follows:
This morning the enemy renewed his
attacks in great strength along practi-
cally the whole of the battle front.
Fierce fighting occurred in our battle po-
sitions, and is still continuing.
'The enemy made some progress at
certain points. AT Others his troops have
been thrown back by our counter at
tacks.
"Our losses inevitably have been con
siderable, but they have not been out of
proportion to the magnitude of the bat
tie.
From reports received from all parts
of the battle front the enemy's losses
continue to be very heavy, and his ad-
vance everywhere has been made at
great sacrifice.
''Our troops are fighting with the
greatest gallantry When all ranks and
all units of every arm behave so well,
it is difficult at this stage of the battle,
to distinguish instances.
Exceptional gallantry was shown.
however, by the troops of the oath di-
vision in protracted defense at Lever
guier and by the Sd division, who main
tanned our positions in the neighborhood
of Croisilles and to the north of that
village against repeated attacks.
"A very gallant fight was made by the
5lst division in the neighborhood of the /.
Baupaume- Cambria road against repeat /
ed attacks. (
"Identification obtained in the course
of the battle shows that the enemy's
opening attack was delivered by some
40 divisions, supported by great masses 4

trian batteries. Many other German |
divisions have since taken part in the
fighting and others are arriving in the
battle area.
Further fighting Of most severe ma

It is Believed That Most of the Bene-
fit Hoped for has Been
Accomplished
lAssociated Pressl

Washington, Feb. 2-Abandon-
ment of the heatless Monday program
was considered yesterday by Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield and Director
General of Railroads McAdoo. Itwas
announced, however, that the closing
order would remain in effect next
Monday, but that on Tuesday a con-
ference would be held to determine
whether it should be rescinded before
Monday, February IL.
There was every indication that
both McAdoo and Garfield, as well as
President Wilson, who has been con-
suited, feel that the purpose sought
can best be accomplished from now on
by the continuance of the preferential
coal transportation and distribution
by railroad embargoes now in force.
The Monday closing has brought most
vigorous opposition from commercial
interests, particularly the big depart
ment stores,s and small stores TO,
have opposed it, as have the owners
of office buildings. Theatres sue
ceeded in having the day as it applied
to them changed to Tuesday.

TO THE STOCK OWNERS
OF MARION COUNTY

The stock owners of this county are
neglecting the most important thing
to them; that is, the stock. Very few
are paying the attention to them or
giving the care to them they should
and most of our good people are even
passing up the opportunity to> find
out how to best care for the stock,
and next important, how best to get
all there is IN them out when they
sell.
There has been organized in this
county live stock association, the
purpose of which is to stimulate the
improvement of live stock in all its
branches, to cooperate with each
other in the buying and Selling of bet
ter stock. There is not man in this
county, whether he is large stock
owner or small one. that can afford
to stay out of the association, for it
means cooperation and that is tbs
backbone of existence.
We have at the head of this one
of the eounty's most prominent men,
Mr.. j. L. Edwards, who is known by
every one to be public spirited and
always ready to work for the interest
of his fellow citizens.
The association meets the first
Tuesday after the first Monday Of
each month, making the next meet
ing Feb. 9Th. The meeting will be
held in the board of trade rooms at
2:3O p. m. Every man that lives in
this county that is not already a
member should come at the next
meeting and join. Help push on to
success sthe best thing you were ever
asked to join. Respectfully,
DR.. J.. F. Chapman,
B. A. /. Inspector.
