SMOOTH PAVING
CONTRACT STANDS
ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD DE-
CIINT,S TO RECONSIDER IT'S
ORIGINAL AWARD.

So far as the administrative board
Is concerned, the smooth paving in
cilent. so far as tho bids from the
Contra! Construction ard the Atlantic
Bitulithic companies - concerned, mas
closed.
Lawyer c. V. Meredith yesterday
morning appeared before the board
and asked that the question be re-
considered. so that representatives of
the Atlantic Bitulitchic company
might appear and advise with the
board.
Mr.. blanchard Forbes, a well known
Richmond business man. also, appear
ed, and asked the board to stand by
its original action In awarding the
contract to the Central company. He
stated that as there were no repre-
sentatives of the company In the city.
and that the company had already
begun preparations 70 take up the
contract which had been awarded,
he felt that The original action Of the
board should stand.
II am in no way connected with the
Central company" explained Mr..
Forbes. "but feel an interest in that
concern. for I believe that they will
help me- IN my business by purchasing
stone from my concern. / do not
think the Bitulithic company COM
piled with the letter Of the require
ments, and therefore ask that sae
board decline to reopen the matter.
After remarks by Commissioners
Mccarthy. Folkes and Hirschberg,
the board voted on resolution offer
ed by Mr. Hirschberg that 3 o'clock
next Monday afternoon be fixed as a
time for hearing from both parties to
the question The vote stood as IT
did upon the award of the contract:
Ayes-a-HirschbeYg and Whittet; noes
Beck Folkes and Mccarthy.
The Central company has now on
the way to Richmond the nucleus OF
its movable plant. This plant Will
be larger than the one here last year
when the company did some work for
the city.
On motion OF Mr.. Hirschberg the
board directed Commissioner Beck to
supervise the cleaning OF the Trigg
slip, where many pleasure craft are
anchored. and to employ the city
dredge for the purpose.
Bids for grading. curbing. guttering,
etc. were opened and referred to the
city engineer for tabuiation and re-
port,
The board adopted rules for the
construction OF conduits, which re-
quire all trenches for gas and water
connections to be thirty inches below
the curb line. and all conduits the
same depth, while high power wire
conduits are to be placed as far as
possible from those containing gas
and water pipes.

Construction Of New State Building 10
Delayed.
Construction of a 100000 building
at st. Paul to house the Minnesota
Historical society, the supreme court
and the law library is held up by a
controversy over choice of building
sites. With a half million dollars
available and property adjoining the
capitol grounds offered for use more
than year has been spent fruitlessly
In discussing. Unless either the state
board of control or the historical So
ciety gives in construction work can
not begin.
The last legislature appropriated
funds for the construction of the
building by close vote and there is
fear that the next lawmaking body
may repeal the act making the appro-
priation and that no building will be
erected at all. Unless the historical
society gives it's approval of the site
selected by the board of control, which
Attorney General Smith rules has
been contracted for, nothing can be
done until next year, when the legis-
lature meets.

ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN
WAR SITUATION.

Germany has reached Paris and ig.
nored it. The power Of the Teutonic
military machine, having set new
record for endurance and rapidity Of
movement, has not stopped it's phe-
nomenal dash, but, turning the corner
amid the northern suburbs of Paris
and moving eastward, is now making
stiii another effort to encircle the al
lies.
The past week has seen these en-.
veloping attempts tried again and
again, but each time the English and
French have stepped backward be.
fore the circle was completed and the
moose has been pulled in vain.
The fortified city Of La Fere is said
to have fallen to the GERMANS and,
according to a Berlin report, the en-
trenched camp at Laon has been cap.
tured. These successes prove not so
much an uncanny ability by Germany
to crush fortressses at will as a very
pressing fear of the allied field armies
that, if they get too near their own
fortified areas, they may be driven
inside and surrounded.
4 F. -:
The honors Of the week are Ger.
many's for the spectacular march OF
her right wing to the environs Of
Paris; but, strategical'y, they are
empty honors. Germany can do moth
ing with Paris for the moment. Its
main objective must continue to be
the separation Of the opposing forces
and their development.
How far the Germans have gone
toward the accomplishment of this eff:
fort in their turning movement is a
speculative matter, for we don't even
know the direction taken >by the re.
treating left wing of the allies. If it
has pivoted on Paris it may be out.

the south or to the west.

Russia has retrieved in GaIicia it's
disaster in East Prussia and starts
by its own assertions, a new offensive
Of twenty army corps toward Berlin.
The GaIician operations can have
little influence on events in, France
which are subject to serious German
dlsarrangement only az Russia gets
close to Berlin. The Slav is now ne
nearer the German capital than he
was at the outbreak Of hostiIities. Hi.
first movement was violently thrust
back in the lake district Of AiIenstein
and what direction has been ordered
in the second movement is not YET
revealed. Three routes are open, but
all are heavily fortified and the Rus
SLAMS are certain to meet desperate
resistance.

Board Of Visitors Finds Conditions
Bad at Hastings Hospital for
the Insane.

A new superintendent and a new
system of management of the Hast
ings state asylum is urged in the re-
port made by the board of visitors to
Governor Eberhart.
The situation which brought criti-
cism on the board of control for con.
ditions at the asylum is given by w.
A. Nolan of Grand Meadows and Rev.
E. J. Nystrum of St. Peter, who were
summoned by Governor Eberhart to
undertake the investigation, in the
following words:
"Laxity in supervision by the super
intendent and his assistants and over
confidence in subordinates; taking too
much for granted on supposition with
out personal investigation"
The board made two trips to Hast
ings on Aug. II and "a. AS result
of their Investigations they make the
following recommendations:
"A permanent resident physician.
Hospital building for proper care
of persons with communicable dis
eases.
Receive no patients without first
having medical examination by at
tending physician.
"Segregate tuberculous patients now
at the asylum and give stricter atten-
ton to their diet.
Comply strictly with statute re-
quiring reports of tuberculous cases
to board of health.
"Remodeling of old building, max
ing it f1reproof and more sanitary"

against the Germans.
The troops which have been oper.

Additional troops are being pushed

forward on the march toward Berlin.
The general staff declares that the
Austrian danger is passed. It is an
nounced officially that Austrians have
been forced to abandon their offensive
everywhere in Poland and in Eastern
Galicia and that they are now beyond
the San river In a demoralized condi-
ton.
The war Office insists Russian Po-

cial statement was issued:
"The Austrian army has been CON-
pletely crushed as result of a gen.
eral offensive movement of a part
Of the Russian army under Grand
Duke Nicholas.
Austrian Forces Strong.
Immediately following the war
declaration the Austrian army as
sumed the offensive. With the excep-
ton of the four army corps used
against the Servians the entire Aus
trian army was directed against Rus
STA and Russian Poland was invaded.
I'm battle that lasted ten days
the entire Austrian offense was CON-
pletely destroyed. Their armies were
defeated on battle front extending
from the Carpathian mountains to
Austrian Poland.
''Lemberg and other important po-
sitions in Eastern Galicia were occu-
pied by the Russian forces. Thou
sands Of prisoners, nearly 200 cannon
and much important field supplies
and ammunition were captured by the
Russians.
To-day the Russian armies have
assumed the offensive against the
Germans with twenty army corps,
comprising the armies that will march
directly against Berlin.
Our remaining ten corps of the &C.
