Inspection 81 their Merits at Eus-
tis Oh the Eleventh


tis Oh the Eleventh
The Barlow Record says o. the
goo1 roads meeting al Eustis March
II:
Citizens from all parts OF Polk
county are expected to motor TO Eus-
tis next Wednesday. the 18th. TO in
spect the sand-oiI road in that sec
ton
Hugh W. Wear, one of Polk coun-
rs good roads boosters recently
wrote to the Lake County Good
Roads Association relative to sand
oil reads Below We print the reply
to Mr. Wears letter which will no
doubt be read with interest by many
CT our readers:
Dear Sir: Your communication
20 the Eustis Board OF Trade hand
Ell to me for reply, and in answering
same think you will make no mis-
take in building the sand-o:l road in
your section
Regarding the road built here
will say that was put in as a sample
road by Mr.. Lane, Of Mass, who
owns the OckIaWaha Hotel He built
this coo running feet of 16 foot
road a year ago and it passed
through last winters use and the
hot sun of last summer, and up to
this time has shown no indication
that it had been used. Now this
any road in the country for the rea-
son that everybody was anxious to
see and travel over il. The writer
was a committee of one of our Asso-
throughout the country last summer
and he looked up not only this road
but other types as we'll and on his
report the Association adopted this
vas called and carried for one half
million dollars.
This road was first built seven
years ago on Cape Cod, Mass, a sec
ton of country there similar to ours
ana this piece Of road has been sub
jected to much harder usage than we
will give it. Up to date has stood
the test and no repairs have been
made on It. The road resembles an
asphalt road ana rides fully as easy,
Goes not rut or break and when a
heavy disc harrow was run over it it
| did not make a mark This road
was built Of common Florida sand
heated to q temperature Of $50 de-
grees ana mixed with B. binder oil
heated at the. same temperature.
7 he mixture consists Of 1G gallons
Of oil to one cubic yard of sand
This is spread on the road and roll
e1 with a light roller first and then
| With six ton roller making the road
three TO one half inches thick. At
! ter this a lighter oil is used about
! one third gallon per square yard
and sprinkle1 with the sand. This
| rs called the wearing surface of the
! road and should be renewed every
four or five years. The cost Of this
renewal is very small. This road
should not cost you over 40 cents
per square yard if you build it your
selves, but if contracted it would
cost some more.

SAY GERMAN ADVANCE
HAS Been CHECKED

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE war Office was
silent regarding the developments in
Belgium, adding nothing to its previ-
Gus statement that the advance OF
the Germans toward the coast had
been checked.
There was a feeling that some i'm
portant news was being withheld, but
officials at headquarters here insisted
they had no Information whatever re-
garding conditions.
Attention was being paid, however
to the French right wing, which ex'
tends into the Vosges and Lorraine.
IL was regarded that important devel
opments may be expected there In the
immediate future. Despite the fact
that there is already snow on the
ground in the Vosges the French are
continuing their advance and already
they have obtained footholds in all
of the important passes from which
they were compelled to retire earlier
In the campaign.
1t is believed here that the activity
OF the right wing has forced the Ger
mans again to weaken their center To
prevent an important movement to
ward Metz and there is belief in of
fetal quarters that a distinctly often
sive operation against the German
army holding the lines to the south
of Metz will not be much longer de
layed.

ALLIES HAMMER THEIR
WAY ALMOST To METZ

+ Paris, Oct. 17-The steady ham.
mering of the allies on the German
left wing of the French battle front
has brought them almost within can.
non range of the forts at Metz. In
spite of this menace part of the Ger
man crown princes army hangs on
doggedly to the positions it has taken
on the Meuse near st. Mihiel. The
fighting on this end of the long battle
line is said to have been desperate on
the part of both sides during the past
week, though oyershadowed for the
time by the operations on the allies
left.
The French are now i'm possession
of the route from Nancy to Metz, as
far as Dagny. on the Lorraine border
and menace the route from Verdun ia
Metz, in the neighborhood of Etain
endangering communications of the
crown princes army with the Ger
man fortified camp.

shells fell in the Swiss village of Lar
gin, near Bonfal, doing only material
damage. The German casualties in
the fight are said to have been be-
tween 600 and 800, but those of the
French are not known. Paris advices
indicate the French troops in this re-
gion have met the German advance
with telling force by the means of
gatling guns operated from the tree
tops.
Alsace continues the scene OF daily
struggles for the possession of points
of vantage and fortunes Of the oppos.
ing armies change rapidly. Towns
are taken and retaken repeatedly.
The heavy fighting in the southern
end of the battle line indicates the
Germans have proflted by the weak.
ening of the French positions to re.
gain the ground they lost there.
The German official statement does
not mention the situation at Ostend
and the only reference to the situa-
ton on the western wing is that
French attacks near Albert have been
repulsed

CERNANY'S BIG GUNS
WILL GUARD COAST

London, Oct. 17.-Germany plans
to mount her newest and latest guns
along the Belgian sea coast.
With them she hopes to force the
British feet to stay far off shore.
These guns are already mounted on
trains that wait inside the Belgian
border. They are ready to be rushed to
Ostend and other seacoast cities
where, II past performances are any
guide, the concrete bases on which
they are TO be set are already con.
structed.
Refugees who have arrived here
from Belgium say the British and
Belgian officers who are familiar with
the situation insist that this is the
German plan. They say boasts here
that the British fleet will make short
work OF the Germans II they try to
occupy the coast cities are premature.
These new German guns, the latest
product of the house of Krupp, are
reported to be an improvement over
their big siege guns with which they
reduced Liege, Namur and Antwerp.
They have the added advantage, ru.
nfors reaching here say, of being as
easily sighted as small guns.

| ON VERA CRUZ
Mexicans Train Guns on
American Forces.
HAS SIX THOUSAND men

General AguiIar at Head of Army
Which Threatens to Drive Uncle
Sans Forces From Mexican Soil.
Wasers He viii Breakfast in City
Sunday.
Vera Cruz, Mex, Oct. 17.-Evident
preparations ON the part of a small
detachment of men under General
Aguilar for an attack on the American
outposts around Vera Cruz have re
suited in the strengthening of the
American lines.
Two hundred Mexicans are in a po
sition about half a mile from the
American outposts and they have two
mountain guns trained on the Amer
ican soldiers. Their warlike activity
is attributed in Vera Cruz to overin
dulgence in liquor obtained at a
house just beyond the American lines
The boasts that the Mexicans were
about to inaugurate an attack that ul
timately would drive the Americans
out of this port are taken more OF
less seriously on account of the per
sistency of the reports that AguilaI
will not be able to restrain himself
much longer and that the impatience
OF his men to enter Vera Cruz is
rendering his control over then
doubtful
Aguilar's entire force is estimated
between 1000 and 5000 men, will
several pieces of artillery. 1t is re
ported in Vera Cruz that Aguilar ha!
made wager that he will take break
fast In this city Sunday.

ALLIES NEAR METZ,
GERMAN STRONGHOLD
Important Developments Expect
ed in That Section.

London, Oct. 1.-THE Germans
have succeeded in closing the gap be-
tween their right wing and the sea, it
being admitted in official circles that
the German line Thursday extended
north from the vicinity of Arras tc
Blankenberghe on the North sea, ten
miles above Ostend, with which 1t is
connected by railway. Later advices
indicate the Germans have reached
the vicinity of Ostend and possibly
have occupied that city.
Arrival of the Germans at Ostend
or near it gives them a north and
south line connecting with their forces
In France, and as their extreme right
is against the sea they are without a
flank With no flank to turn the al
lies must now center their efforts to
break through the German line some
where and the fiercest fighting to ac-
complish this will likely continue
along the Belgian frontier
The belief grows in London that
Ostend will not be occupied by the
Germans until at least they have
fought for it's possession.
1t is reported that British warships
will take part in the defense OF the
town.
Allies Near Metz Forts.
The French statement says the al
lies western line extends from the
vicinity of Ypres to the sea, indicat
ing the allies also seek to prevent an
outfianking movement by the Ger
mans. The French statement makes
no reference to the situation on the
right, but news advices from Paris
say the steady hammering of the al
lies on the German left has brought
them almost within cannon range OF
the German forts at Metz
Paris says the French are in pos
session of the route from Nancy to
Metz, as far as Dagny, on the Lor
raine border, and menace the route
from Verdun to Metz, in the neighbor
hood OF Etain, which place the Ger
man statement said had been occu
pied by the Germans. From these
advices it would appear the French
threaten the communications of the
crown princes army with the German
fortified camp.
In spite of this menace detach
ments of the German crown princes
army hang on doggedly to the posi-
tions they have taken on the Meuse
near st. Mihiel The fighting here has
been desperate for the past week, but
has been overshadowed by events oc
curing on the allies left wing. More
important developments in the region
between the Meuse and Moselle rivers
are imminent.
