connect the present war or any
other war Of violence with the
spread Of anti-Christian or rationalistic
views respecting the universe and the
destiny Of man appears to assume that
Christianity has always been opposed to
war and its brutaiizing consequences; but
history shows such a claim to be utterly
groundless, according to an article on
"NIetzsche, Theology and the War in
The University Magazine which con-
tains the following paragraphs:
THE argument can be turnea against
the record of Christianity. Tho christian
churches have not only not restrained their
followers from war, but have actually pro-

LACK OF CARDS
Cause Of Delay in Enrolling Boys For
Working Reserve Last Week
Needed Blanks Forwarded
Saturday From Frankfort.

Much concern has been expressed
regarding the enrolment campaign
that was to have taken place last
week and some thought that the fault
was with the local organization.
The local organization could not
put on the active campaign that had
been anticipated, due to the fact that
the enrolment cards were not re-
ceived.
Prof. Dale who is in charge of this
work in Mason county, wired the state
office Thursday and told them that
unless needed supplies were sent i'm
mediately the Mason county workers
would discontinue their efforts.
Saturday he received the following
reply by wire:
C. S. Dale, County Director Boys

greet delay. Following IN next week

Monster Cannon Located

Paris, March 24-The German
monster cannon" which has been
bombarding Paris. has been located In
the Forest OF st. Gobian, west OF Laon,
and exactly 1872 hlometers approx
mately 70 miles from the Paris city
hall.
The gun bombarded Paris during
the greater part Of Sunday. The day
was ushered In by loud explosions
from the ten-inch shells and imme-
diately the alarm to take cover was
sounded. This occurred at 6:55
o'clock and many persons sought
shelter, but greater numbers Of them
appeared In the streets on their way
to churches, which were almost as

sell palm leaves on Palm Sunday. did
their usual thriving business.
At the first shells began arriving
at intervals Of twenty minutes, and
the detonations, considering the Sun
day calm, seemed louder than those Of
Of Saturday. Their power to disturb
the equanimity Of the populace, how
ever, seemed less, the people refusing
to be distracted from their Sunday
habits to any great extent.

man Attack Of War - Battle
Wages Throughout Day
With Great Fury.


London, March 24-On the battle
line in France, the sanguinary strug-
gle still is going on, with the British
troops on most Of the sectors appar-
emily holding their own, but with the
Germans at salient points still press
ing forward.
The town Of Chauny, southwest OF
st. Quentin, situated on the road to
Compiegne, the gateway to Paris, has
been occupied by the Germans, and
according to the Berlin official COM
munications, everywhere between the
Somme and the Disc rivers, the Ger
mans are pressing their attack.
Throughout Sunday, along the en-
tire fifty mile battle front, the fight
ing never ceased for moment, and
where Field Marshal Haig's men were
unable to withstand the terrific on
slaughts delivered by greatly super
ior forces, ground was given, but al
ways in orderly fashion.
It now has been definitely ascer-
tanned that considerably more than a
million Germans have been brought
to the western front in an endeavor
to crush the British army holding the
line from the region Of Arras to the
south of st. Quentin, but 1t daily be-
comes increasingly evident that the
enemy in his drive has met with OPP
position not counted up on and been
unable to realize to the full his objec-
tive.
In addition to Chauny, the Germans
are claiming the capture of both Pc
rome and Ham, and to have increased
the number of prisoners taken to
more than 10000 in addition to six
hundred guns and large stores Of var
materials.
1t is claimed also by the Germans
that American and French regime"ts
which were brought up to reinforce
the British have been defeated, but no
further information than this mere
state has been vouchsafed.

YEARS YIELD OF CORN
PROVES BUMPER CROP
Production Forecast at Nearly
Three Billion Bushels, De-
spite Adverse Weather
Washington, Aug. 8


A loss of III, 900, 900 bushels of corn
and 13.OOO,OOO bushels of wheat from
the prospective production Of this years
important food crops, as indicated a
month ago, was shown today in the
Department of Agriculture's crop report,
resulting from a canvass made August l.
Corn and wheat are bumper crops
this year, despite adverse weather con-
ditions which have curtailed somewhat
the heavy production indicated carrier
in the growing season.
The production of winter wheat this
wear was announced in the preliminary
estimate at 556,000,O00 bushels, while
spring wheat production was forecast at
922 ,OOO, 900 bushels from July l condi-
tions. Production of all wheat was es-
timated at S7S, 900, 900 bushels.
Corn production was forecast at $685.
600 900 busels from August l conditions
Other forecasts of production based on
the August / canvass We're announced as
follows: Oats, 1,42S,000,00O bushels !;
barley, 232. 100000; rye, 100000.
During JUNE the wheat crop suffered
a loss of 40,000,000 bushels, and the
extent of weather conditions on the pro-
duction forecast today covering July con-
ditions was a point of concern. In June
a crop of 100000 bushels of wheat
was forecasted, but in JULY it was esti-
mated to have lost 100000 bushels,
and the prospective yield was placed at
S91, 100000 bushels. That is 241, ,000,0
bushels more than produced last year,
and is 100000 bushels more than the
average wheat crop for the five years
1926.
The first estimate of the great corn
crop, issued last month, was 3,159, ,000,-
900 bushels, and 1t was feared the July
weather conditions We're such as to have
caused damage to the crop. A crop OF
that size would be record one, but
only about 500 900 bushels more than
last years recoFd-breaking crop. The
average corn crop during the five years
1926 was 2,761O00,0OO bushels.
