DO YOU WANT LIGHTS?

The time has now come for the
merchants to say whether or not they
want the ornamental lights along
either side of Main street This has
no reference to the system of arc
lights to be placed on the street cor
ners, but to a system OF ornamental
lights to be placed three to each block
at the edge OF the sidewalk. Three
poles are to be placed on each block,
one near either corner and another
in the center. These poles are orna-
mental in design. fourteen feet high
from the top light to the pavement
and each pole carries three large in.
candescent lights in globes. one on
top and one at either side. The poles
are to be paid for by the merchants
and the lights supplied free by the
city. 1t is estimated that the cost OF
installing will be IS for each mer-
chant. which will be all the expense
he will be called upon to pay.
The Eagle hopes that every business
firm in the city will respond favorably
to the proposition. and we will secure
this beautiful lighting system. These
lights, together with the arc lights
will give us a real white way" and
Main street with its new paving will
then be one of the perttiest streets
in the State.
City Electrician Smith will call upon
you within the next day or two; tel
him "yes" when he comes.

Critics Say German Army II in Good
Condition.

Paris, Sept. 12.-Milltary critics,
although appreciating fully the Ger
man reverse along the line from Paris
to Verdun and applauding the splen-
did feat Of arms OF the French and
British troopst caution the public
against a too rapid assumption that
the invaders are beating disorderly
retreat. The critics point out that a
great army, such as the Germans
have pushed Into France. still pos
sesscs considerable power OF resist
ing pursuers and that It may assume
u counter offensive.
Discussing rumors Of German
shortage of ammunition, authoritative
circles acknowledge that the lack may
have occurred in some portions OF the
fighting line. but decline to believe
that a fighting machine such as the
German army with an open country
at its back while advancing, would
be allowed to run short as whole.

hnme. III
The attorneys were given until next
Saturday. to file additional briefs. In
cidentally Mr. Rooseve.t's answer to
the Barnes complaint was made part
OF the record of today's proceedings.
The principal plea for a change of
venue was made on the allegation
that Mr.. Barnes dominated Albany
county politics and that 1t would be
impossible to obtain an impartial trial
here. The Roosevelt attorneys inti-
mated that the Burns counsel should
consent to change of venue. To this
w. NJ. WINS, appearing for Mr.. Barnes.
replied:
knowing the temper Of the de.
fendant. Mr.. Roosevelt, If we consent
ed 1t Immediately would be utilized
by him as an admission by us Of the
fact that we have the political con-
troll with which he charges u.s."
In the Roosevelt answer, political
activities Of Mr.. Barnes for the past
twenty years are commented upon.
Mr.. Twins contcndcd that the greater
part Of the answer was not relevant
to the pending motion. but was IAN
aggravation of the libel. He added
that Mr.. Roosevelt as president. had
appointed MIR. Barnes collector of the
port OF Albany.
"If," Mr.. Iyiny continued, "Presi-
dent Roosevelt kept Mr.. Barnes In
office for several years. knew all the
things about him then that this an
swer alleges, then President Roosc-
velt's actions were nothing less than
criminal"
