THE Dover Index is positively rude
even unkind, in its remarks about the
business sense of the Kent County Levy
Court. Il wants 10 know what an en-
gineer is for anyway. as the Levy Couri
inferentially gives the public to under.
stand that any estimate by the engineer
carries no weight with them, and only
actual bids on plans and specifications
can influence their opinions as to the
cost Of bridges. The Index continues
and deliberately states that The Levy
Court lacks business judgement and
something more, the courage to do what
they know is right Everyone knows
that the County cannot afford a $50 900
bridge at that point or for that matter at
Any point, 50 what is the use Of wasting
two or three hundred dollars.
Now what do you think Of that from a
real Democratic authority on Kent County
politics We have known and proclaim
el this for years; even while the Levy
Court was in control Of the Republicans,
we advocated the abolishing Of the sys-
tenn and supplying a business policy and
plans for practical government. with
It's economical and practical results but
on the other hand there IS a quiet force
behind the present system which prevents
any practical results from maturing. We
endorse the Dover Index opinions as 10
the system, but it knows the calibre Of
the men in its Levy Court better than We
so We accept It's decision as fact.

BOTH CLAIMING
AN ADVANTAGE
Reliable News of the Series of
Battles in Poland Is
Unobtainable.
CAMPAIGN WILL BE LONG ONE
Decisive Result In immediate Future
Doeo Not Seem PossIble-German
Tell Of Capture Of Many Prisoners
Fighting Along the User Continues.

London, Dec. 5.-There is still lack.
Ing reliable news of the progress OF
the battle in Poland, which continues
to monopolize interest. Both the Ger
man and Russian reports claim the
advantage.
The most important factor, from
the allies point OF view, is that the
German advance on Warsaw seeming.
ly has not succeeded in its object, nor
has it had the effect of diverting the
Russians from their forward move
ment through the Carpathian. and on
to the plains of Hungary, or against
the fortress of Cracow, around which
they are drawing a closer ring of men
aud artillery.
Long camraien Is Expected.
Taking into consideration the case
OF Przemysl, which has held out so
long against the Russian attacks, mill.
tary men do not look for the early
fall of Cracow and are rather in.
clined to believe that the armies of
Emperor Nicholas will endeavor to
keep the large Austrian force inside
the fortress and enter Silesia from the
southeast.
In a dispatch from Petrograd, the
correspondent of the Central News
says:
The battle of Lodz has ended in
success for the Russian troops, ac-
cording to the Bourse Gazette, which
adds that great numbers of German
prisoners. cannon and machine guns
are being brought into Lodz."
Russian Official Statement.
Petrograd, Dec. 5.-The following
statement from the general staff OF
the Russian commander in chief was
issued tonight:
On the left bank of the Vistula on
December 3 there was some fierce
lighting on the front of Glowno-Lowicz
and also on the western roads to.
ward Lodz and Piotrkow.
On the other fronts there were no
essential notifications in the lines"
Newspapers here are beginning to
print numerous fragmentary accounts
derived from wounded soldiers con-
cerning recent fighting in Poland.
The general impression from all sides
Is that the fighting between the Wis
tula and Warthe rivers has been in
comparably more severe than anything
experienced before during this war
on any front.
The character of the fighting also
compelled the Germans to rely on
their manhood instead of their ma
chinery, yet they still persist in their
massed formations against rife. max
i'm. or bayonet. Their losses have
been appalling. Experienced experts
estimate that the Germans have lost
two-thirds of their army in Poland.

Berlin, via London.-It is officially
announced that the Germans occupied
LODI Sunday, the Russians retreating
after severe losses.
The Germans must be credited with
winning the greatest battle ever fought
in the history of the world. But they
have paid the price, for 1t is esti-
mated that the Germans lost in this
battle close to 100000 in killed. wound
ed and missing.
Not only was the battle the greatest
in history, but the prize is momentous.
The capture of the city of LodZ
means to the victor the control Of the
most important railroad in Russian
Poland-a railroad leading straight to
Warsaw, the capital Of Russian Po-
land, whose conquest Is the object of
the German strategy in the East.
LODI, city of some 5000 popula-
ton, is the chief manufacturing CEN
ter of Russian Poland. 1t has numer-
GUS textile mills, the majority of them
for the manufacture Of cotton goods.
In addition, it has flour mills. dyeing
establishments, brick yards, machin-
cry plants and breweries. The popu-
lation is made up of Poles, Germans
and Jews.
"Roumania Decides To Enter War;"
Geneva, via London.-The Journel
de Geneve publishes dispatch from
Bucharest which says that Roumania
has definitely decided to enter the war
on the side of the allies. The decision,
according to the dispatch, is in ac-
cordance with the wish of the entire
country, including King Ferdinand and
all the Roumanian statesmen.
The question of when Roumania
will makA her entry into the conflict
is still being discussed, however, one
side desiring to avoid a winter cam
paign, but the military authorities ex-
press the fear that Servia may be de-
feated before. the spring.
The attitude of Bulgaria still re-
mainst doubtful. Greece, Servia and
Roumania have proffered certain con-
cessions, which, however, Sofia seems
not to consider a sufficient inducement.

Eyes, l know it doesn't belong to the

dandelions in my family. Some So
years ago had a baby sister who loved
these yellow flowers, and as we carried
her about the dooryard one day, which
we'll remember, she gathered a big
handful of them, and-well, she left us

AGAIN FAIL TO CROSS USER
German Attempt Reported RepuIsed
by the Allies After Most
Severe Fighting.

London, Dec. 4.-Another desperate
attempt of the Germans to break
through the allies lines from Dixmude
to Ypres has failed.
With the weather moderated, the
Germans, heavily REINFORCED, yester.
day attempted to cross the flooded wa
ters of the User on RATS.
They selected time just before
dawn to make the venture. The RATS
were pushed through the shallow wa
ter in dead silence and utter dark
ness. Each raft carried from fifty to
sixty men and mitrailleuses. A fur
ther fleet of RATS drawn by motor
boats was waiting on the German side
Of the muddy waters, but before dawn
they were discovered and at daybreak
the artillery Of the allies met the ad-
vancing Germans with devastating
effect.
Germans Give Up Attempt.
Despite their losses the Germans
bravely essayed the crossing, partially
covered by a cannonade of their field
artillery. and until midday persisted in
their plans.
Several Of the RATS were upset in
midstream by the French guns and
great numbers of Germans were
drowned as we'll as shot. The attempt
to cross eventually was given up, but
the artillery kept up a determined
bombardment OF the allied positions
and met with vigorous reply.
The Germans have withdrawn their
heavy artillery on account of the mud
dy country and brought up a new
weapon, which is exceedingly well
adapted to the changed nature of the
warfare
Numbers of light guns with a range
Of seven kilometers have been mount
ed on motor lorries. which have been
fitted with large springs, which are ar
ranged in a manner to keep the gun
steady while it is being fired and to
break the recoil
The guns may be moved speedily on
roads which would be impossible to
heavier ones.

terly.
That the Russian check IS complete
is admitted by persons who are in
touch with military authorities.
Germans Take $4,000 Prisoners.
The Germans assert that in the re.
cent maneuvers they have captured
10000 unwounded prisoners.
In the face of these claims bv the
Germans the Russians insist, in a
statement issued through Rome. that
their captures greatly exceed this
number.
All agree that the losses on both
sides have been heavy.
1t became known here early this
morning that the Russian failure to
surround and decisively defeat the
Germans at Lodz was caused by the
hardness of General Rennenkampff
the Russian cavalry leader. He was
two days late, reports say.
AS a result of rot arriving on time
the general has been relieved of his
command. Petrograd dispatch says.
Hardness Make Coup Fail.
The failure of the Russian coup is
described by the Petrograd correspon-
dent of the London Post as follows.
General Rennenkampff. whose late
arrival with his army at the appointed
place robbed the strategic scheme of
the grand duke Of its complete success
a week ago. has been superseded in
his command
