The announcement that the Kingdom
of Galloway will compete against the
world for fine mules has been received
with favor by the local and Audrain
growers. The mule show which is to
be held will take place at Fulton dur
ing the carnival and soldiers home
coming to be held there within a few
weeks.
Galloway has long had the rcputa-
ton Of having the best mules in thc
country. Whether they really have or
not will be decided by competent
judges when the mules of different
counties will be placed on exhibition.
Several Audrain County stockmel

and will attempt to prove this when
they take their animals to compete
against the Kingdoms best.

''London Times Calls
Haig Wellington's Equal
Northcliffe Paper Puts Marshal
Among Britain's First Half
Dozen Generals

LONDON, March 15.--In discussing
the retirement of Field Marshal Haig
from the Rhine command to take charge
of the home forces, "The Times" re-
marks that in the last few months of
the fighting he was "as infalible as
Wellington himself"
when all deductions have been
made" it continues, enough will re-
main to put Field Marshal Haig among
the first half dozen generals this coun-
try has produced. The mistakes he
may have made at Passchendaele must
always be accounted one of the most
tragic passages in our history. We
doubt, too, if he understood as early as
some others how vital was the princi-
pie of unity of command, and perhaps
he carried distaste or the amateur in
military affairs to unwh0lesome
lengths"

enemy. The fighting continues and

Frauenburg Captured and
Stores of War Material.
With Prisoners, Taken
Windau Port Is Relieved
Trotzky's Most Trusted Men
Are in Retreat; Entire
District Is Cleaned Up

STOCKHOLM, March 15:-Lettish
troops captured Frauenburg, northeast
OF Libau, from the Bolsheviki Monday
and took a great quantity Of war ma
terial, a large number of machine guns
and many prisoners, a dispatch from
Libau said The Bolsheviki retired
toward Mtau.
The Let's also advanced west of
Frauenburg and drove the Bolsheviki
from the region Of the Baltic port of
Windau.
The retirement of the Bolsheviki
toward Mitau and the clearing of the
Windau region of Bolshevik troops
mark considerable advance on the
part Of the Let's, who only a few days
ago were fighting the Bolsheviki in the
region of Libau. Recent reports indi-
Gated that a considerable number of
Lettish Bolsheviki were operating in
the Baltic region, the Lettish sharp
shooters being the most trusted ele-
ment in Trotzky's army.
The consistent advance of the op-
ponents of the Bolsheviki in Courland
and Lithuania removes, for the time
being at least, the danger of Boil
shevik invasion Of the Baltic provinces,
which loomed big at the beginning of
the Bolshevik advance from Pskoff two
months ago
