docket which Judge Johnson Is at-,
tacking with energy.

The United States has recognized
the Carranza government, in Mexico,
as the rightful government. The,
restoration of order in Mexico seems j
to be steadily progressing.

The Kaiser offers $75 and three
months vacation for the first American
killed or captured. This looks
like German courage needs stimulation
when up against the Sammies.

With the great Italian General
Cadorna pressing his victory at San
Gabriele and the threatened tood
shortage in Austria-Hungary it
looks dark for that country.
+
The Kaiser says: "England will
keep up the war. An obstinate nation."
Well, the Kaiser will soon
find out that Uncle Sam is rather obstinate
when he gets his back up.

Last Friday night, as reported, a
troop train on the Pennsylvania j
Railroad, near Mungo Junction.]
Ohio, was fired on and four soldiers

The government of T'raguay having

It appears that the department of [
State is negotiating with a view to
have Japan divert a large amount of
her ocean tonnage to the Atlantic
to aid in supplying shipping for the
Allies and that Japan has expressed
willingness to do so.

The rise in the price of silver has
been phenominal due to the world
wide demand for It. caused by the
mine shortage and the hoarding of
gold throughout Europe. The price
Is around $1.00 per ounce, a rise of
32 cents per ounce. While silver ts
not yet on a parity with gold the
approach to it tends to make the
memory of Bryan's 16 to 1 platform
less startling.
