1T is absolutely untrue, as has been

never been attacked. Only the fort
of Troyon, which is not a part of the

heights of Mouse. has been bombarded
on several occasions. 1t is known that
the violent attacks of which it has
been the object have not succeeded

REVIEW OF THE WAR
Probable Situation, as Viewed by
the Associate Editor of the
Army and Navy journal.

New York.-The German line holds
fast to its intrenchments, following
the Aisne river from ten miles west
of Scissors to the mouth of the Suippe
and then curving southwark to Mont
faucon, northwest of Verdun. ALI
along the lines the allies are making
assaults, but it cannot be made out
from the reports whether they are
pushed home with the idea of break
ing down the German resistance or
whether they are made merely to hold
the Germans in position while the
turning movement to the west is
taking form.
Now is the time when the arrival Of
a new British army might turn the
tide of battle for the allies. The 1885,
900 of Great Britain's first effort r
in the battle line, apparently in two
separate bodies, one southeast of Sois-
sons and one near the Disc river.
With 100000 regulars, 315, 900 terri
torials and 100000 volunteers to draw
on, Great Britain must by now be
sending to the front forces that will
soon double the present strength given
in the reports.
Germans Calming Tina.
The German right now has occupied
the line Of the Aisne for six days,
most valuable days for recovering its
fighting strength. Whatever the plan
by which the allies moves airs guided,
it should bring early results.
The Belgians now control all OF
their country north OF the Scheldt
river. Their activity in raids against
the German d~etachments is producing
important results in forcing the Ger
mans to maintain a large garrison to
protect the routes through the Mouse
valley on which they are now abso-
lutely dependent for the supply Of
their army. By these tactics the Bel
CLANS are able to hold back from the
battle line forces of Germans much
greater in number than their own
army.
Russians Retreat Far.
The reports about the operations in
East Prussia have been suppressed to
such an extent that it is not possible
to outline events definitely. The Ber-
lin dispatches claim that their adj
vance has reached Grodno; the Petro-
grad dispatches state that the Rus
slams have fallen back to the line Of
their border forts. For once the dis
patches agree, but they indicate q
retreat Of lao miles by the Russians.
The success Of the Russians on the
San river bids fair to force the Aus
TRANS to fall back from this position.
This does not mean that the way lies
open for the Russians to advance
against Silesia IN Germany.

Want TO KNOW COST
Of JOINT BUILDING
Commissioners to Make ES-
innate Before Awarding
Contracts for Work
ANNOUNCE BIDDERS
FOR MARBLE WORK

Desiring to construct the public build

pute the total cost of the work, the es-
! tiate TO be based on the lowest ana
hest bids received Tor each class OF work.
The commission has decided upon TINS
plan for the purpose OF aseertalhihs
whether or not the work can be com
pleted within the bond issue sanctioneu
bv the Legislature. The State judiciary
cautioned them that they must Keep
