BUDGET WAR
EXPECTED To
END TO-DAY
Mayor Valves TechnicaIties and
Signs $4,000 in Checks
on City Bills.

Leading city officials predicted
Thursday that the budget fight would
end at the special meeting of Coun-
Gil Thursday afternoon. If an agree
ment between the opposing factions
is not reached then, the budget will
not be held up much longer, for May
or Woodward has announced that
after Thursday he will call Council
into daily session until the budget is
passed
Confident that the deadlock be-
tween Council and the Aldermanic
Board is near an end. Mayor Wood =
ward has waived the legal technican-
ties which. would prevept--anx-u fur
their expenditure of money, and is
meeting all the regular expenses of
the municipal government. He sign
ed 100000 in checks Wednesday.
Departments Still Suffer.
This aggressive move of Mayor
Woodward is not helping the depart
ment heads to outline their work for
the year. however, The Park Depart
ment is unable to begin its improve
ments. and no bids can be adver-
tised for street and sewer work, bad
ly as they are needed.
Employees who have been granted
increases in salaries by the Finance
Committee are working for the same
cid pay 1t is the pressure from these
officials that is expected to arouse
compromise.
The Georgian's exclusive story of
Wednesday, showing that the realty
tax assessments alone will net 100000
more money than the Finance Com
mittee has anticipated practically as
sures appropriations for the four big
street improvements over which
Council and the Aldermanic Board
have been deadlocked.
Provision for Peachtree.
The budget as prepared by the
Finance Committee provides $4,000
for widening the bottle neck on
Peachtree street, $4,000 for the con-
tinuation of the Improvement of West
Peachtree street, $4,000 to secure a
right of way to open Spring street
into Peachtree street at Brookwood,
$4,000 for widening and regarding
South Pryor street, and $4,000 for the
paving OF Cherokee avenue
The opponents to the budget would
withdraw the Spring and South Pry-
or street appropriations, cut the
Peachtree street Improvement fund to
$40 600. and add $4,000 to the West
Peachtree project, give a good sum to
the improvement of Whitehall street
and increase the Cherokee avenue
item to $4,000.
To Make All Street Changes.
1t now SENS that all of these prof.
ects will be put through in full
amounts desired for them by both
factions At least, money is availa-
Bile for appropriations that large and
efforts vii be made to vote them.
Tax Assessors j. L. Harrison, c. d.
Meador and j. \. Malone are being
congratulated on the new realty as
sessments fixed by them. Each year
for the last five years they have eX-
ceeded the hopes of the Finance Com
mittee in raising assessments. As
sessments on central property have
been increased almost SO per cent in
that time.

GERMANS GAIN ROADS
LEADING TO WARSAW

London, Dec. S.-With LODI taken
and advances of twenty-five miles
made on both tanks, the Germans in
Poland are gaining control of the
main roads leading direct to Warsaw.
They are also threatening the COM
munications of the Russians ON the
southern front of Grand Duke Mich
olas' army. Should they continue to
meet with success the Russian move
ment toward Czenchentowa will have
to be abandoned and the forces about.
Cracow may be forced to withdraw.
This is the situation on the eastern
front, as indicated by the German
announcement and details of fighting
on both the northern and southern
TANKS in reports from Russian
sources.
The Germans have advanced along
the Vistula and fighting is reported at
How to the north of LODI and in the

Two Justices Of Minnesota Supreme

The majority of the court sustains
District Judge William Louis Kelly OF
Ramsey county in dismissing a suit
by Robert Seeger against Margaret
Young to quiet title to four lots on
the ground that the same question is
involved in an action by Margaret
Young to establish her title to the
land under the Torrens law.
The majority opinion simply states
that the Torrens law provides that all
other actions be set aside in case of
proceedings under the Torrens act.

But Deed Starts at Pin Point ut Cen.
ter Of Earth.
A deed has been filed to piece OF
ground beginning at pin point in the
center of the earth, extending up
through the heart of St. Paul and pro-
jecting exactly 96A feet into the blue
sky above.
The deed has been submitted for
entry in the books of NJ. w. Fitzger-
aid, registrar of titles, by the North
ern Pacific Railway company. 1t is
intended to give to the First National
bank title to that part of the site the
bank will occupy in the new Hill build
ing at st. Paul.
The odd feature of the deed is the
clause conveying title to everything
below surface to the center of the
earth and to specified chunk of air
which ends abruptly 96A feet above.
The rest of the air space is specific
ally reserved by the railroad company.

Allies Ready to At.
tack Germans.
RUSSIANS ADMIT THE
SITUATION SERIOUS
Berlin Positively Announces the
Capture Of LODI.

!, London, Dec. S.-An offensive move.
ment OF the allies against the German
armies on French and Belgian soil
apparently is being extended gradual
ly and now, according to the best
available information, covers large
part of the battle line from the North
sea to Switzerland
The official French statement, while
worded in the cautious manner
that has characterized these commu-
rications recently, specifically men
tons offensive movements in Belgium,
in the regions of Armentieres, Arras
and the Aisne, and in the Argonne. At
all these points, it is said, the SUI
periOrity OF the French offensive has
been shown.
The German forces, which succeed
ed in pushing their way across the
User canal in the battles last month,
in which both sides suffered severely,
are said by the French war office now
to have been forced out of their posi-
tons. with the exception of troops in
a few entertainments still under at
tack.
A comparison OF the reports from
Berlin and Petrograd leads to the con-
clusion that the Germans again oc-
cupy LODI, from which city they were
driven on their first retreat from War
saw. Berlin makes positive announce
ment that LODI is in German hands,
while Petrograd admits: that the situa-
ton there is desperate.
Russians Still Confident.
If the fall Of the city is a fact it
Indicates that Communication with
Warsaw again is menaced seriously,
but a semi-official statement from
Petrograd declares that the Russians
are strong enough to hold the invaders
in Northern Poland and will content
themselves with doing this, while de-
voting their main energies to the re-
duction of Cracow and the invasion
of Hungary
Hungary. according to reports from
the Russian capital, is the weak point
in the armor Of the Teuton allies
These Petrograd messages say that
even as early as the time of the fall
of Lenrberg, the capital of Galicia,
: Austria asked Russia for terms of
peace. The negotiations to this end,
if there were any, apparently proved
abOrtive
Cracow, 1t is said, is now under the
fire of Russian artillery, and another
Petrograd report says Russian STRAIT
egy contemplates a shifting of the
main attack from the region of LODI
and Lowicz to the south, involving
an attempt to push on from the region
of Cracow and enter Germany across
the Silesian border, with Breslau as
the objective. Such a movement
would involve large reinforcement
of the Russian army in Galicia, and
military observers express some doubt
regarding the ability of Russia to hold
the Germans in check at LodZ and
make offensive movements against
both Hungary and Silesia.
