county, announces his candidacy
through the columns Of the Democrat
this week
Mr.. McCollum did not anticipate
any opposition and acting upon the
understanding that the republican

sition. From now on, however, he

nation embodying a most important
amendment to the physical examine
ton regulations. which places the
minimum height at SO inches instead

these standards should be uncon-
ditionally rejected for military service

local board.
The board is also directed to group
registrants as to physical qualifca-
tions in accordance with these amend
ments, both as to registrants examin-
ed hereafter and registrants hereto
fore examined who may have been
placed in group D as not qualified for
general military service on account of
former regulations as to minimum

GREAT BATTLE RAGING
The Huns Fourth Drive Looks
Like ) Failure

For the last week the fighting on
the western front has been very in
tense and the results have been de-
cidedly in favor Of the allies.
The Germans have not only signal
" failed in their big drive but they
have been beaten and driven back at
many important points.
Allied and military strategists are
agreed that if no more gains are reg
istered in the surprise cOunter-otfen-
sive at the Marine, Gen. Foch has more
than accomplished the purpose he
set for achievement.
In Mondays reports British Mill
tary men were inclined to the belief
that the enemy will be forced to give
up at least 500 square miles Of terri
tory. Others do not think, however,
for the present, any very great terri
torial gains can be expected by the
allies. The Germans are making the
most desperate efforts they have ever
made. They have thrown division
after division into the ranks and by
powerful counter-attacks have en-
deavored to check the progress Of the
allies. But they have been slowly
driven back until Frederick William,
the German imperial crown prince,
was obliged to call for help from his
cousin, Crown Prince Rupprecht Of
Bavaria. German divisions from the
army in the north have been hurried
down to protect the western flank
Of the defeated army which has been
driven back over the Marine and eject
ed from Chateau Thierry by the
Franco-American troops.
The region Immediately south Of
Seasons forms the key to the German
position and here the enemy concern
trated heavy forces for the purpose
of holding back the advancing tide Of
the allies. The latter however con-
tinue their progress, although the
fighting became heavier each hour.

TEACHERS, EXAMINATION

There were twenty-three applicants
for the State examination held at
Huntingdon last Friday and Saturday
Twenty-one Of this number were
white and two colored. Seventeen of
the white ones were applicants for
the Elementary and five for the High
School examination. Of the twenty
one only three were men. The num-
Der applying for the examination is
not one-sixth as great as it was three
years ago.
A number of the schools of the
county are yet untitled and in all
probability some will not get teachers.
Children belonging to schools that
have no teacher are urged to attend
some other school nearest to them.
