French War Office Details Renewed
@ Offensive Of Teutons.

PARIS, Sept. 21.-In desperate at
tempts to dislodge the allies from
their positions in the Caronne region
along the Aisne, the Germans resorted
to the bayonet today, but were re-
pulsed at all points, according to an
official announcement issued at 8
o'clock.
The official announcement says that
there is violent fighting in the Car.
onne region.
Today's announcement is the first
since the battle of the Aisne began,
stating that either side had resorted
to the bayonet. This indicates that on
this, the ninth day of the battle the
artillery duel which has been raging
for many days resulted in a drawn
battle and that the other forces have
now been brought into action.

the war office says:

Advocate Park.

When council meets this evening It
will not receive from the board OF
works any resolution calling for the
condemnation or purcashe of property
adjoining the Randolph street dump
for park purposes. Last Monday night
! the special councilmanic committee re-
ported that the board and not council
was empowered with the authority to
initiate such proceedings.
At first the board doubted the coun.
Gil committees Interpretation of this
law, the board constituting it to mean
that as the proposed expenditure in
volved more than $4,000 council would
have to originate condemnation or
purchase proceedings.
After discussing this question today
the board agreed that the law eun-r
doubtedly required the board to in.
itiate the proceedings In question and
following such action Immediately re-
fer the matter to council should the
proposed expenditure be of more than
$4,000. The board also agreed, how
ever that the law does not require the
board to initiate such proceedings or
| even act upon petition of property
| owners for the condemnation or pur-
| chase Of lands for public use.
Declines Initiative.
The board then unanimously adopt
ed resolution that 1t was unalterably
| opposed to any expenditure at this
| time or in the near future which would
require a bond ISSUE
Mayor Robbins gave his approval to
the action taken by the board so
council will wait a long time before
it receives any proceedings from the
board relative to the proposed Ran
dolph street work.
In my opinion the board. in the
event petition is received to convert
the dump site into a park. merely has
to receive the petition and then adopt
a resolution to table it," said tho
mayor. Petitions for street improve
ments, ETC., require action by the
board but in my opinion 1t is optional
with the board whether II acts on
petitions calling for land purchase or
requirement by condemnation"
Mr.. Bavis suggested to his fellow
board members that II the people
clamoring for a Riverside park are
dissatisfied with the plans the board
has for the betterment OF the dump
nuisance that council be asked to
| transfer the appropriation of $1,000
for this purpose to some other fund.
John McMinn opposed this plan. say
ing that he thought this money should
be used to level of the dump and other
wise improve it whether such a policy
was or was not acceptable to the park
advocates. Bavis then withdrew his
| suggestion.
