Hickory has a remarkable rec ord in one respect, viz there are thirteen more boys in school than there are girls. 2. The attendance on the -whole is splendid, there being an average of less than 1-2 absence per pupil for the month. 3. Of the 414 absences recorded, the boys made 237 as against 177 for the girls, which shows that boys at tend less regularly than girls. 4 J Of the 87 tardies 60 were made by the boys and only 27 were made by the girls. . 5. (All the 28 tardies at the high school were made by hoys except one j 6. As is shown in the honor roll, published elsewhere, 86 boys got on the honor roll while 125 girls achieved this distinction. 7. Above the eighth grade at the high school only one boy got on the honor roll, while 17 girls won this distinction. It is clear, therefore, that there is a vital relation "between regular attendance and successful progress with the work of the school. More boys than girls belong to the schools, and more should be able to get on the honor roll. They make a poor er attendance record, however, es pecially in the matter of tardies (which is almost always indicative of a lack of interest) and hence the girls take the scholarship honors. An Appeal to Parents To get on the honor roll a pupil needs to do only three- reasonable things: (Continued on page 4) NO ADVICES HERE Dy the Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 19. Russian of ficials here today had no dispatches here on the removal of the govern ment from Petrograd to Moscow, but said that was the intenion several days ago.

Amsterdam, Oct. 19. Count von Bernstorff, former German ambas sador to the Upited States, did not know Bolo Pasha, the Frenchman held as a spy in Paris, according to the Berlin Tageblatt. That paper says: "In connection with the Bolo plot and the disclosures made by Secre tary Lansing and bringing in formei Foreign Secretary von Jagow, we are informed by a competent source that the personality of Bolo Pasha was not known to von Bernstorff in PRICE TWO CENTS ILL By the 'Associated Press. Russia's capital is soon to be r moved to its ancient site at Mos cow. The government's announce ment of its intention to shift its ac tivities from Petrograd does not give any reason for this move. The issuance, however, simulta neously of a statement that the ci vilian population' of Reval, the Rus sian naval base on the gulf of Fin land had been ordered to leave, indi cates that the government was in fluenced by the German operations in the gulf of Finland. Paris suggests that the removal ot the government to Moscow, as con templated, had reference not only to the military situation, but that the government might be able to carry on its work unhindered by the rad ical elements in Tetrograd. WJiile the small fleet the Russian had in Riga waters apparently has been hemmed in hy the Germans as a result of their land operations on Oesel and Moon islands and thc disposition of their superior naval forces at strategic points, the main Russian fleet remains at its base. There is apparetly no intention of sending it out to engage the Germans-, although the men of the fleet are reported anxious to fight. lOn the western front the French have been engaged in some inten sive operations centering in the Aisne. Heavy artillery paved the way and several scores of prisoners were captured by the French in raids. The activity of the German infair try along the French front was con fined to the Verdun sector. Another German attack was made on the east of the Meuse, but was repulsed Field Marshal Haig's report fron. the Flanders front today gave littl idea of what is occurring in this im portant fighting area. Only the ac tivity of the German art?llery at certain points was mentioned. Ber lin statements, however, indicate that exeremely heavy bombardments are in progress in Flanders, the area of the front taking in the part hem by the French on the British left flank as well as the British. iRecent reports have made it ap parent that British airmen have been unusually active, flying far be hind the German lines, and hanv pering operations of the infantry. Two additional German fighting craft have met disaster in the area of the naval operations in the Gulf of Riga. Petrograd today reports the sinking of two German torpedo boats near Moon island. UNUSUAL WEATHER TODAY, WASN'T IT? Did you observe the behavior ot the weather today? The morning began with a shower, was followed by bright sunshine, and this in turn gavt way to clouds and a drizzle. Then more sunshine and the wind shifted and came in from the west and some fellow standing in a store said he bet it would be clear in 10 minutes. It might have been, but in 10 more minutes it was raining, and this afternoon, the skies were leaden and looked as if they had lots of wet goods on hand. Farmers in the city remarked that they had some hay on the ground that they would like to move, but the rain was not unwelcome. Small grain crops that have been planted will thrive. In a few hours this unusually warm weather will give way to another cold spell and the last of the truck that escaped the heavv frosts several days ago will shrink up and almost disappear. Washington inasmuch as the ambas sador did not have resources in the United States which might have been at the disposal of official quar ters there. It was also established that the name of Bolo Basha was never known to Bernstorff and his banker intermediaries. Conse quently the passage in the alleged telegram of Secretary Lansing, "WJiat is known about Bolo Pasha?' is false. This warrants the asser tion that the statements made by Secretary Lansing were false." ! f 'if,. rl it Mi Hi Si II : .'1 i fr-
