The British Tommies and their
officers fought for hours with their
gas masks on, but even this draw
back could not dampen their jubi-
lation at the havoc they caused az
the German infantry presented itself
in the form of pointblank targets.
Nine German divisions negotiated
the assault in this section, but they
met with strenuous resistance. Brit
ish machine gunners did terrible
execution as the Germans moved
forward.
AS on Thursday, the Germans to-
day depended on tremendous artil-
lery bombardments and massed at
tacks with great numbers, of troops
to achieve results. At least forty
German divisions have been identi-
fled and the German artillery con-
centration is the greatest that has
been seen on the west.
1t is reported that in one section
the Germans came across No Mans
Land in regular formation and gaps
in the ranks We're quickly filed to
present q solid front. The Germans
are said to have stopped when they
reached the barbed wire and to have
cut 1t by hand under a heavy fire
from rifles, machine guns and artil-
lery. However, the report is not
verified, but it is certain that the
Germans advanced in more dense
formations than ever before and

NEWSY NOTES FROM SEDG-
WICK COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

The Semester examinations will be
given on Thursday and Friday of this
week. As has been the custom for
several years, all students having an
average of ninety or above in any sub
ject will be exempt from the exami-
nation in that particular subject.
Miss Rohweder had charge of the
chapel period Monday morning. She
told US many interesting things about
nitrogen.
A spelling test was given at the
chapel period on last Friday and also
one on Tuesday of this week. Those
students making an average of ninety
or better will be exempt from the reg
ular spelling lessons for an indefinite
length of time.
The students of the S. C. H. s. are
planning to purchase a service flag
soon. Already about twenty-six boys
from this high school, those who at
tended this year and years previous,
are in some branch of the army or
navy, and there will be several 9TH

ers to 60 by the end of the term. We
feel that a service flag with twenty
six stars in it is fine showing for
small school like ours and the school
is certainly behind them, ready to do
its "bit."
The next literary program will be
given some time soon. Watch the pa
per for further announcement.
Don't forget the lyceum number on
Saturday evening of this week. The
members of the Mildred Morrison
Company are the entertainers.
The Junior Domestic Science girls
have bought sewing machine. This
is indeed a great help to the Domes-
tic Science department and the Jun
ior girls are to be praised for their
work and effors put forth in raising
the necessary fund to buy it.
The Senior girls have begun their
course on luncheon dishes.
The Senior Domestic Science girls
received the larger number of demer-
its during the first semester and will

DON'T GET IN THE WAY

Suppose you wanted chauffeur
and you saw man driving an ambu-
lance. Would you stop him and say:
81 can give you a better job. l will
pay you more than the government is
paying you. You may be on an er-
rand of mercy, but get off; I wani
a chauffeur" You wouldn't do that.
Suppose you saw a man turning out
shell at lathe, and you knew that
shell was going to be an effective in
strument in battle. Would you say:
"Shut off your lathe. Take that out.
The cylinder of my automobile needs
fixing. want you to make bicycle
for my boy. / have job. will pay
you more than the government is pay
ing you" Suppose your wife saw a
woman making a gas mask. Would
she say: II want a garment made.
I want new hat. Stop on that work
Knowing that that gas mask might
save an American life, she wouldn' t
say that.
But we are doing just that thing.
We don't think. We don't realize
that we are competing with the gov
ernment; that we are tampering with
the equipment of the army; that we
are slowing down the work of the gov
ernment getting this army prepared.

county, and we can truthfulIy state
that our bonafide list of subscribers
far eclipses that Of any other news

We have put forth untiring efforts
to place the Grit-Advocate up to it,
present high standard, and in addi-
tion to this, it has required . consid-
erable amount Of expense. We are
going to keep up the gait. and are in
deed glad to know that our efforts are
being appreciated. The board Of
county commissioners have made .
number Of progressive steps during
the past year pertaining to the fur
ther development of this fertile Sec
tion, and we are indeed thankful to
them for their designation of this pa
per as the official paper for another

in working to the best of our ability
for the progress Of the county and the
best interests Of its citizens.

OUR SERVICES APPRECIATED

One of the official actions of the
Honorable Board of County Commits
sioners at their meeting last Tuesday
was to designate the Grit-Advocatc
as the official county paper of Sedg-
wick county for the year 1918.
The management of the Grit-Advo-
cate feels very grateful to the board
in their recognition of our services
rendered to the county during the past
year, this paper having also been the
official paper during the year 1917.
We wish to extend our personal thanks
to the board, and we hasten to assure
them that we will, as in the past, en-
deavor during the ensuing year, to
render the best possible service in the
matter of publishing newspaper
alcng progressive lines, and put
forth our best efforts to aid in all mat
ters pertaining to the progress of
Sedgwick county, which will mean
mutual benefits to its citizens.
With the large circulate n of the
Grit-Advocate, we believe that we are
in position to render a valuable SER
vice to the citizens of Sedgwick coun
ty. There are very few homes in this
county in which this paper does not
reach each week, our circulation
reaching to all four corners of the

WHAT WAR MEANS TO THE
WORLD

It is difficult for US to understand
just how terrible the present war has
been, but we may have some concep-
tion Of the slaughter in America dur
ing the Civil war. Using the Civil
war as comparison: There have
been six times as many killed in the
present European war up to Jan. l.,
1918, as were killed during our own
Civil war. The total casualties up to
date equal the total male population
Of the United States above tie age of
81 years, and 100000 more than the
total male population of military age.
The cost which future general ions
will have to pay approximates $1O,-
900 for each life lost. Including the
interest on this $4,000 to the date of
the actual payment of the principal it
is safe to say that the cost in dollars
and cents will not be less than ST., Goa
for each life lost And the worst o.
it is that the end is not in sight.
AS this determination of the Wl:ite
race proceeds nation after nation is
bel, s. forced into the shamblrs and
civilization itself is threatened with
extinction. Why? Simply that a
| theory of divine right may bc either
vindicated or crushed. Kaiser PHI
either is or is not an expression OF di-
vine will. Our opinion o. him is that
Re is a paranoiac every bit as much as
Harry Thaw but by the accident OF
birth placed in a position where he is a
million times more dangerous and de-
struct We. In the midst of all this
slaughter the kaiser and his sons
while often reported as on the battle
fronts, have evidently remained at a
discreet distance from the danger line
so that the divine partnership assumed
by Bill and his descendants might not
be interrupted by death or accident
Great is Bill! And terrible is war!
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-01-10
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

We are glad to see our citizens take
up the matter of a Council of Defense
for Sedgwick county, and we hope the
organization is perfected in the imme-
diate future. This matter should
not be dropped, but instead should
receive the cooperation of all the pa
triotic citizens Of Sedgwick county.
We, as patriotic citizens of the
county, should at all times be prepar-
ed to cope with disloyalty wherever
it may arise, and we should demand
that disloyal citizens to our govern
ment, if found within our midst, shall
be given their just dues-and that
they be taken into custody by the
proper authorities.
Our nation has learned a dear les
son in the matter of preparedness-it
has been proven over and over during
the past several months that prepar.
edness is taking advantage of gold
en- opportunity. The citizens of Sedg.
wick county should be prepared fol
any emergency, and a Council of De-
fense organization is most certainly
vital need if we are to pursue the
policy of being prepared to meet any
situation that may arise
1t is probable that we have
disloyal citizens right within the
bounds of our own county. Perhaps
they have as yet not incriminated
themselves to the extent that there
has been sufficient evidence to turn
them over to the proper authorities
perhaps We have not been diligent
enough in our observations, but is of.

FORCE THE CHILD LABOR LAW

Efforts of the national child labor

which congress has entered upon and
all the other incidents which the live
