Irish Shoot British
Officials from ambush

in the afternoon before the Iorry came in
sight. When the car came into the
center POSITION the report continues,
lit was raked with the fire OF the -
guns, most of the police were shot off
and the car came to a dead stop. Some
of the police when they got on the road
made an attempt to put up a fight but
the second volley. which included all the
rifles, wiped them out.
What is termed IAN exceedingly risky
operation as we were half the enemy
strength" was the attack in County Don
egal on a military train from Derry. Ac-
Cording to the brigade commanders re
port the attacking party numbered 26.
Information was received ut 80 at
night. the report says, that the special
train was to leave Derry at ; Il. IN. the
next morning.
Little time was left to choose a posi-
ton and get settled. but the train was
late. giving us three-quarters of an hour
20 get ready. We chose a cutting, one
side of which was on a level with the
carriage windows At the ends of each
Side we placed bomberS and rife men
and between were placed the remaining
rifle men and the others differently
armed. Two large boulders were placed
ou the rails and the wire fences at each
side We're pulled mp to AFFORD a safe exit.
The station building 4 short distance
away was taken possession of and green
light displayed.
There were seven carriages ON the
train and il was travelling ut Il great
speed when it struck the stones.
Fire was opened from both sides and
bombs We're hurled through the windows.
The fire was returned from the cab Of
the engine. where 4 Lewis gun was in
position. Our rihemen at the rear end
of the train got down on the line for ell
siladng fire. but after about 10 minutes.
/ was forced 10 order retreat To effect
the safe escape Of our men. Eight bombs
were thrown. two of which we are Ger
tain landed in carriages.
In the retreat one. of our. two parties
was surrounded twice but fought its way
through on each occasion. One of our
men is missing and We believe he has
fallen into the hands Of the enemy. No
other casualties were suffered on our
side and. despite their denial, we have
every reason 10 believe that at least 10
men were either killed or wounded on
the enemy side"

The Monroe Question.

The second great factor in the ratitca-
ton controversy was the question Of
whether or not America committed a
wrong when Panama seeded from COlOm-
bia Mr.. Roosevelt admitted in a public
speech that he took Panama" but in
sisted that Colombia was cndeavoring To
extort a huge sum for the canal rights and
that as soon as Panama rebelled against
Colombia he felt justified in recognizing
the Panamanlan republic because other
wise the canal would not have been built.
Irrespective of the truth about Colon
bias attitude. the impression made
throughout South America has been that
the United States broke all records in the
recognizing of infant republics when she
formally recognized the Panamanian re-
public - hours after the revolution oc-
CURED and used American forces to pre-
vent the COlOmbians from interfering
with the independence of Panama.
The Democrats in the senate took the
position that a great moral wrong was
done and should be rectitied. President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan We're even
willing to include an expression of regret
i'm tho treaty. but the Republicans
wouldn't permit it and the Wilson adj
ministration considered that the payment
Of S25,0O0000 was in itself an apology or
reparation. The Roosevelt Republicans
argued the same lines, namely, that the
S25.00OO00 was an apology and that
America had committed no wrong.
Out of the Republican membership Of
a. II deserted the party standard and
voted against the ratification. The 40
Republican votes remaining would have
been useless except that out of the Demo
cratic membership of 81 all but five lined
up solidly with the Republicans. Thus a
coalition of 40 Republicans and % Demo
Gratis ratified the first treaty that has gone
through the senate in many years. 1t is
significant of what may happen with
other treaties, especially the amended
Versailles treaty. A coalition of Repub-
Leans and Democrats could have put
through the Versailles pact and league Of
nations with reservations except for the
bitter partisanship of certain minority
groups which held the balance of power
inside the councils of each party.
The outstanding fact is that when the
nations interests demand it coalition
in the senate ratifies a treaty over which
there have been II years of controversy.
1t strengthens the hope that some day.
perhaps not as long as II years. COM
bination of Republicans and Democrats
viii ratify the Versailles treaty. which
thus far has been debated only two years.

Sheriff A. L. Story
Seeks Endorsement
As County Sheriff

Amos l.. Story, Sheriff of Henry
County, announces in the proper
column oil this paper, his candidacy
before the Democratic primary for
denomination for sheriff Mr.. Story
has served ten months of his first
term, and he invites each and every
voter in the county to make the
most rigid investigation of his offic-
ial record. He knows that he has
made enemies among the law-break-
ers, and realizes that this element
will spare no pains to encompass his
defeat, but he feels that the major
ity of our citizens stand squarely
for law enforcement, and he rests
his case with them, promising to fill
out his present term in the fearless
manner in which he has begun, and,
if reelected, to continue to enforce
the law, and to give prompt and
efficient service In the matter of
such business as may be entrusted
to himself or placed in the hands
of his deputies. Mr.. Story submits
that not only has it been the Demo-
cratic custom to reward faithful
service with an endorsement but
that it makes against law enforce
ment to force an official to strenu-
Gus campaign every two years. 1t
paves the way for temptation to
court the support of the wrong ele-
ment, and it takes away from the
time that should be devoted to the
discharge of duty. This being true,
he feels that he can not be true
to his official trust, and at the same
time make thorough canvass of the
county. He apologies to each of
you, that he misses seeing in person,
but assures you that he will appre-
ciate your vote and goodwill. For
a law enforcing officer, Amos is the
best humored, most accommodating
man you would care to meet His
dealings with his neighbors are on
the square, he is ever ready to
tighten the burden of the fellow in
hard luck, or to befriend the friend
less. He solicits your vote as plain
man of the people.

Roast goose and apple sauce!
Christmas in many homes Is in
complete without them, and for that
reason the best season in which to
market the goose is the latter part
Of December, although there is linn
tied demand all the year.
Goose raising is not so extensively
engaged in as duck raising, the con-
ditions under which they can be sue
cessfully raised being almost entirely
| different from those necessary for sue
cessful duck raising. The duck, be-
ing smaller, can be raised in more
limited space than can the goose, the
latter needing free range and water,
while the former has been proved to
do well without water.
While the goose cannot profitably
be raised in as large numbers as the
duck, still it cannot justly be termed
Improbable. There are many places

Fields that have streams, branches, or
unused springs on them could be
turned to good advantage by making
them into goose pastures. A goose on
range will gather the largest portion
of it's food, consisting of grasses, in,
sects. and other animal and vegetable
matter to be found in the fields and
brooks.
Young geese are fattened by placing
them in pen, not too large, so that
they will not exercise too much, and
by feeding them once a day all they
will eat up clean Of a moist mash
made of one-half shorts and two-thirds
cornmeal, and two feeds daily of corn
with some oats or barley. While fat

kept as quiet as possible; no excite
