PLAN PLAYGROUND
FOR MORTON PARK

Directors Of the Richmond Lake and
Park company have under considera-
tion plan of making a public play
ground in Morton park. The lack of
public Fairgrounds was discussed by
the directors Informally a few days
ago. The idea of using some of the
available space for children's play
grounds was then broached
The directors decided some time ago
to open tennis courts in the park next
season. A suitable spot is being
sought for the tennis courts and the
playground.
Corresponding with amusement COM
panies, the lake and park company
has found there will be little difficulty
in securing good amusements for the
park. This will be done without doubt
as directors voted that way several
months ago.
Since the idea was adopted, several
plans Of conducting the amusements
have been brought before the lake and
park company. Amusement making
companies will install the amusements
and operate them, paying the company
here for the privilege or they will
sell the amusements to the lake and
park company. There are several
other plans OF operation being con-
sidered.

The industrial company plan which

professional men that the new indus

submitting it to the club for a cam

Mr.. Jordan said today that the COM
mittee will first go into conference
with newspaper owners to explain the
plan and secure their approval. They
will then go to the men who will be
required to work in the organization
of the $25O,00O company and secure
their promise of service.
When this work has been done, the
campaign. if every step previous is
successful, will open with 100 men to
sell shares in the company. Stock will
not be issued but set of books will
be opened and each stockholder will
be given a certificate of the amount
he has paid.
BY December 1 the committee can
be ready for the campaign and prob
ably can arrange to have@the first pay
ments on March l, 1915. The organi-
zation of the company probably would
consist of board of control of twelve
or fifteen men who would elect of
their number another board of five

used would be placed in the bank at

PARIS, Sept 16.-The decisive bat
tie is on. 1t will terminate whether
the German invasion of France is a
success or failure. Fighting is hard all
along the front. The allies are on
the offensive. The battle line Is 120
miles long, extending from st. Quentin
to the Meuse river.
This announcement was issued at
p. m:
"A great battle in which the Ger
mans have been compelled to keep
strictly on the defensive has been Oh
all along the front since September
IA (Monday)."
The Germans began stacking their
precipitate retreat on Monday. Dur
ing that day the rear guard of the Ger
mans and the advance guard Of the
allies were constantly engaged. On
Tuesday larger bodies of troops were
rushed to the firing line, and today
the great battle is in full swing with
the main armies of the Germans and
the Anglo-French forces opposing each
other.
Two Million Men Engage.
The fight, almost at the gates OF
Paris, is known as the battle of Marne.
This conflict probably will go down in
history as the battle of the Aisne, be-
ing fought along line just north of
that river.
More than two million took part in
the battle of the Marne. 1t is prob
able that the allies and Germans since
that conflict have received at least
five hundred thousand reinforcements.
making total of 2,5OO,OO0 soldiers en-
gagged in this terrific conflict.
The Germans picked the battle
ground, falling back across the Marne
and the Aisne until they reached a line
of hills which gave them an advantage.

BAV|S THROWS
DUMP ACTION
UP TO COUNCIL
Cites Law to Show Board
Without Power to Initiate
Ground Purchase-Com-
Gil Holds Opposite View.

Taking the same law quoted in the
report of the / special councilmanic
committee to Investigate the proposed
west river bank park project to sub
stantiate it's opinion that council has
no authority to take the initial action
in such matters, President Bavis of
the board of public works today con-
strued it to mean that it prohibited
the board of public works from in
itiating such action and vested such
authority in the city council.
In part this law reads: when a
sum Of more than $4,000 is required
to be paid for condemnation, rent or
purchase tof any real estate or per-
sonal property the same shall not
take place unless the condemnation,
rent or purchase is specifically author
lied by council"
Mr. Bavis called attention to the
fact that in it's report the special
council committee cited the fact that
the assessed value of the property
considered for a park site was over
$4,000, and for that reason he con-
tends that initial action in this matter
is out of the hands of the board of
public works.
Differ in Opinion.
City Attorney Bond, who drafted the
report of the special committee and
members of the committee have con-
strued the exceedingly vague construc-
tion of this statute to mean that 1t
vests in the board the authority to
initiate proceedings for the purchase
or condemnation of the property in
question but that 1t can go no further
in the matter, because the property is
valued in excess of $4,000, until it has
been referred to council and that body
has acted in the matter. 1t is their
belief that no specific authority is
given council to originate such pro-
ceedings. On the other hand Mr..
Bavis says he finds no statute requir-
ing the board to originate such pro-
ceedings.
what would the board do in the
event a petition for the purchase or
condemnation of property in the vicin-
ity of the dump was presented?" Mr.
Bavis was asked
II cannot speak for the board, but
personally l would be in favor of re-
ferring such a petition to council
with the explanation that the board
had no authority to begin such pro.
ceedings," he replied.

Line Of Fighting.
Fighting is in progress along line
which reached from a point east of
st. Quentin eastward and southwark
along the northbank of the Aisne river,
through the northern part of the for
est OF Argonne, north of Verdun,
thence southwark and eastward on the
east of the river Meuse past Metz.
During the past's week fighting
the Germans are believed to hove lost
at least thirty thousand men in killed,
wounded and captured, although no
official figures have been given out.
The forward movement of the allies
between the forest of Argonne and the
Meuse continues. The pressure of the
allies has had the effect of straighten-
ing the battle front until it is now
almost straight line to a point east
OF the Meuse and near Etain.
Possible Battlefield.
Being driven from north of the
Aisne, the Germans may fall back to
their next good line of resistance,

PARIS, Sept. 16.-Having compelled
the Germans to evacuate twelve towns
by their rapid advance, the allies
threw fresh troops to the firing line

sitions Of the invaders north of the
Aisne river

"We feel confident of victory If the
invaders stand and give battle to us on

"On our left wing and on our right
flank we are in strong positions. Our
troops have plenty of ammunition and
supplies. Rains, which have turned
the roads to mud, have impeded the
progress of artillery movements, but
this condition has imposed far great
