To w. G. Pemberton belongs the
credit of replacing the municipal flag
which has for several days been off

the rope by which the flag is hoisted
broke and slipped from its place at
the very top of the pole. Efforts have

this rope, but only yesterday after
noon was it posigIe to do this when
Mr pemberton agreed to do the work
Within fifteen minutes after he
Started, he had the task completed

HEAVY BATTLE LOSSES
DEPRESSING GERMANS
EXTRAORDINARY NERVOUSNESS
is SAID TO PREVAIL AMONG
PEOPLE AT HOME

LONDON, April 29.-(To Reuter- OF
tawa Agency)-A telegram from Reu-
rgr's correspondent at Amsterdam
says:
Extraordinary nervousness and de-
preston prevail in Germany owing to
the losses in the Western offensives
vealed with remarkabi3 frankness in
an article by Captain Won Salzman in
The Vcssische Zeitung, in which he
endeavors to restore their lost conf
dencetc the Germans by emphasizing
the Importance of the capture of KEN
mel hill.
Captain Won Salzman enumerates
few of the series of rumors current in
Germany All these stories are pre-
faced by the remark in the reichstag,
it is said and go on to say:
Our losses have teen enormous.
The offensive in the west has arrived
at a deadlock. The enemy is much
stronger than the supreme command
assumed. We are unable to continue
the offensive owing to lack of horses.
The region before Ypres is a great
lake and, therefore. impossible. The
who's country between our Amiens
front is mined and will be and will be
blown up
1.-THE people" continues Salzman,
have begun to lose their nerve. Re-
plying in the reichstag, the minister of
war said something like this
" 1T goes without saying that there
are big losses in such a struggle. Our
losses in one part of the front have
been very heavy. Two-thirds of the
company leaders in many regiments
have fallen.
at is said that a certain deputy
thereupon told his electors in north
German town:
&c The minister of war has openly
declared our losses tc be so heavy that
the offensive must be abandoned

WARD TAKES BIG
Still AT NIGHT
LOCAL OFFICER HAD GIVEN UP
WHEN HE SMELLED TIE
lNIMkFABLE, MooN5HINE

There is one sure way of locating a
'moonshine" outfit, provided you
catch the breeze right. Sheriff John
| Ward knows the smell and it was this
particular sensation that enabled the
officer of the law to locate "Gtill'' the
other night particularly after the chase
had t4en given up.
Out near Hatley on the farm of Rev,
D. A. Maddox Sheri Ward and Deputy
Paavy ran into their prize after they
had about decided they could not find
it, Sheriff Ward had "tip" which
HE was Gtsirous of working out. He
went into the locality where he had
an idea he would find the outfit and
started the search After it became
dark, the start was made for home and
no one was found,-nor had the plant
/ been found.
But as the start was made the Off
Ger stopped short and SMILED Then
new idea came to him. Not more
than two hundred yards was the out
fit still warm. 1t had been in opera
ton during the day but the operators
were not there-narry one of them.
The outfit was destroyed and an eff
fort mace to get the operators, but
no arrests have been made yet.
No blame or knowledge is laid to
Rev. Mr.. Maddox On whose place the
till was found
