1t is the opinion Of British observers
that the Germans are determined to
force the invaders from East Prussia and
that they are striking two blows. one
from the north and the other from the
northwest in the general direction OF

County Commissioners Defend
Their Powers.

Il Shawnee Ready for Rural
Pavements?
Bond Issue Necessary for
Change in Program.

I'VE are opposed to a measure which
would take the administration OF Shaw
nee county's road funds out Of the con-
troll Of this county and put them in
the hands Of any body or commission
not directly interested in this county's
roads," was the declaration Of Frank
b. Simms. county commissioner this
morning, in discussing the proposal for

at the recent joint meeting Of the Kan
sas Good Roads association and the
County Commissioners association at
Hutchinson.
That attitude Of the members of the
commissioners association. generally. Is
Indicated by letter addressed In sep
tember, by James Kennedy, newly
elected president Of the association,
while acting as chairman Of the legis-
lative committee, to members OF the as
ISOLATION all over the state. Pressure
on candidates to the legislature to line
them up in favor Of bills containing
the commissioner ideas about road
poses Of the commissioners association
bills were referred to in Kennedy's let
ter az follows:
From the Kennedy Letter.
''These bills are gotten up with the
object Of keeping the authority ana
control Of all bridge and road work IN
the hands of the county commissioners
In the county where the taxes are PAID
Some other associations are pushing
bill which will remove this authority
and control from the county commits
sioners to a state official or commission
and will give absolute control in road
and bridge matters to the state officials
over the county roads.
I'VE ask your most earnest efforts
in helping US have these bills passed
at the coming legislature this winter,
and the most effective work you can
do IL to see your various candidates
for the state legislature at cnce and
get their promise that il they are
elected they will support these bills.

Members Of the Good Roads assoc
citation have been working for a bill
creating a state engineer with general
and with funds contributed from every
county toward good road work. The
bill which will be passed up to- the
legislature with the approval Of the
county commissioners, permits the
hiring Of a state engineer with the

Local Officers Oppose 1t.
Shawnee county has nothing to
gain by turning ever its public road
funds to a state commission which is
not directly interested in Shawnee
county," declared James C. Sinner,
chairman Of the board Of commission
ers of Shawnee county today. 1.-The
highway commissi on idea is a theory
which will not fit the practical needs
of this or any other county where in
terest is in reality purely local. Our
county's highways demand an expense
which constantly taxes our resources
and no state commission is ever going

fact Of an immense visible supply ana
Of a well recogn:z ed inadequate clearance.
Higher cable quotations afforded only
brief help to the bulls. Opening prices,
which ranged from NC to Nc higher were
followed by moderate setback all
around.
Later in the session the market rallied
sharply az a result of active buying, said
to be largely for seabcard account The
close was steady. tGaxc to &c above

opening NC to &c on. prices continued to

Corn recovered when near the end OF
the day wheat began to climb. The close

OATSLOats turned downward with
wheat and corn. Business for the most
part was in small lots.
PROVISIONS-Liberal arrivals OF hogs
