HAZEL

>. Arizona, is home on furlough. He
is one of a crew of 100 men and since
enlistment has increased his pay SIS

home from a neighbours a windstorm
came up. He was blown from his
horse but made his way crawling to
his house. The house was blown
down but Mrs. Aide and the children
were in the cellar. The house and
furniture were completely wrecked
but none of the occupants hurt.

C'MON, BISH, TELL HIS
NAME; DON'T BE 'FRAID.

One of the threshing gangs out at
the west end of Blake's Prairie had
a little excitement about the war last
week. One of the neighboring farm
ers who has not been in this vicinity
long expressed sentiments that were
a little too close to pro-German to
suit the rest of the men, so a couple
of them came to town after some
bright yellow paint and properly
trimmed Mr.. Pro-German's wagon and
rack. He has since been very much
more circumspect about his utteranc-
es.-Bloomington Record.

DISTRICT SCHOOL SHOULD
FIX UP HEATING PLANTS.

The State Fuel Administration in
speaking of coal economy for next
winter suggests strongly that all
school boards see at once that their
heating plants are in Al condition.
This mean that the pipes and fiues
should be cleaned, defective Chin
neys repaired or replaced, hot-air
furnaces made gas-tight so that soft
coal can be used. All SCOT should be
cleaned out thoroughly. SCOT on
stove and 1ue interiors means an
enormous loss of heat. Help the gov
ernment; help yourself!

By Associated Press.

With the French Army in France,
Oct. 24.-October 81, the newest OF
national fete days, will in years to
come be celebrated, not only in CEN
trail Europe as the anniversary of
the birth in exile of the Czecho-
Slovak government, but also at Ter
ron-Sur-Aisne, in France. as the
date of the first victory of the
Czecho-Slovak army.
Units of this latest arrival among
the belligerents in this war, fight
ing with General Gouraud in the
region of Vouziers. received news of
the constitution of the Czecho-
Slovak government at noon, Octo-
Der q. Immediately afterward they
went forward to assault one of the
most difficult positions along the
Aisne and took the village of Ter
ron at the point of the bayonet.
These troops had been in line for
six days in particularly trying
sector, drenched by continual rains,
wallowing in mud and wading
through the flooded region along
the river. In front of them the
Germans were strongly entrenched
and fortified in the village OF Terror
with their usual heavy armament OF
machine guns.

WILSON'S REPLY
is WELCOMED BY
BRITISH PUBLIC
People Pleased as Further
Proceedings Will Be in the
Hands of All Govern
ments Interested.

London, Oct. 24.-The popular
comment on the presidents note
here is that it contains the strong
est language ever addressed by the
head of one great nation to another
in modern times. The note is well
coined, first, because it brings mat
tiers to new state; further proceed
lngs, if there are to be further pro-
ceedings, will be in the hands of all
the governments interested. Hith-
erto. SO far as the public knows,
the nations associated with the
United States and which have more
at stake, perhaps, than have the
United States, have been on-lookers
to the correspondence.
The note is welcomed secondly,
because it promises to bring the
season of discussion to an end al
together, one way or the other. No
one sees how the German chancel-
Tor, Prince Macmillan, can fail
either to accept President Wilson's
platform or reject it. Acceptance
will be taken to mean that the Ger
mans regard their position as hope
less and that disaster is imminent.
The general opinion is that Ger
many's military position is not so
bad, but that her leaders will fight
on, if only with the hope of Gre
ating divisions among the allies,
which has been Germany's reliance
of late.
The Pail Mali Gazette says that
any fear that the presidents de
iiberate method of dealing with the
German overtures betokened mit-
CATION of the allies demands and
the foregoing of their complete VIC
tory, will be banished by the con-
else and inhexble terms of his
GROWING rejoinder."
The Westminster Gazette says:
"All democratic nations will be
grateful to the president for having
forcibly projected the issue between
free peoples and military despotism
into the foreground at this stage of
the war. But let it be said again
that the choice rests with the Ger
man people. 1t is for them and not
for US to say how they shall be
ruled. All that we can say is that
according as they choose so we
must act. And that is the presi-
dents last word. We can negotiate
with free people, but we must de-
mand surrender from a military au-
tOcracv"

From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Oct. 24.-(Special. DIR.
J. R. Gettys of University Place,
makes a good job of calling the

probable defeat of the democratic

lacking a man politically by refer

not personally acquainted with Mr..
Taylor, but in view of the above
heareless attack upon any man who
is powerless to change his own phys

every decent, every fair minded, ev-

such slurs, and brand the author as

"Mr. Taylor is one OF the pioneer
citizens of Nebraska and has done
much in building up this state. His
ability and integrity are unques-

best. Yet, following the ruthless
dagger stroke above referred to,
the World Herald has the boldness
to hide behind President Wilson,
whom we all love to honor and sup

republicans and democrats alike to
back the political candidates of said

Fifteen minutes only of artillery

The line became thinner and thin
ner as it went on, but the survivors,
inspired by the example of Captains
Siblik and Vlasak and Lieutenants
Pliva and Zatica. continued on to the
first houses in the village without
faltering. An hour later the entire
position was in their hands.
The village had been conquered
in a fierce house-to-house, hand-to-
hand fight, in the course of which
the German gunners who stuck des-
perately to their posts were bayonet-
ed on their guns. The survivors of
the garrison were in small proper
