WAR STOPS PAVING
St. Petersburg Does Not Want to
Pay Excessive Rates of Interest

St ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of paw.
ing operations in St. Petersburg, after
contracts now being filed, have been
finished, pending the adjustment Of
financial conditions that have been pre-
cipitated in this county by the war
in Europe, has been asked by the
commissioner of finance of the Georgia
Engineering company, which holds
contract for many miles of paving in
this city. The request was made af-
ter $4,000 worth Of paving certiti'
Gates we're offered for sale, and mar
ket could be found for only one thou
sand dollars worth Of them, the city
having to take up the rest of them.
Since the city has to accept the paw
ing at once, after it is completed, if it
is satisfactory and payment has to
be made within ninety days, the
commissioners thought best that the
city should not have thousands of dol
lras' worth of Understanding securi-
ties piled upon it to buy and pay inter-
est on. Two weeks since the commits
sioners had applications enough to
have bought the entire $4,000, but
upon the outbreak of the war appli-
cants decline to invest their money
for the present.

New York.-Every ship that sails
out of New York for English ports
these days sail light, though England
is begging for food.
The liner Celtic left with 5000
tons of foodstuffs in her hold, when
she might have carried 10000 tons.
The Kroonland left with $500 and
room for 5000 more. The Adriatic,
St. Paul, New York, Philadelphia and
others of the thirteen ships. of the
international mercantile marine
which have departed for England
since the war started, have carried
light cargoes. Other lines tell the
same story.
The storage warehouses in and
around New York are choked with
supplies for which England is offer

The reason none of this food is go.

that their drafts will be honored in

1.-THE engagement of the French
troops with the Ninety-ninth brigade

havoc among the German horses and
then reduced the heavy German guns
to silence. The gunners were deci-
mated by the French fire and they
abandoned their pieces, which fell
into French hands.
