The Louisville Post of the 18th, con-
tanned the following message from
Glasgow: ''The Fiscal Court of Mon
roe county had a called session for the
purpose of getting in line to ask the
State aid in the building of a road be-
tween Tompkinsyille and Glasgow. -
The above shows the necessity of early
action on the part of other counties in
the State that desire to build roads.
This county needs every dollar it can
get to improve its roads and we hope
no faltering step will deprive this
county from receiving its full share of
the money. 1t seems that a similar
step should be taken here. If the
court would convene and give this
matter due consideration we have no
doubt about the result. Doubtless a
proposition could be made that would
give great impetus to this movement
and bring to the county several thou
sand dollars that would not come by
taxes

LONDON. December 10, 10:45 PM
1t is thought possible Berlin's celebra-
ton of a great German victory in Po-
land was premature. All the German
headquarters say of the battle there.
in today's report, is that the pursuit
of the enemy continues.
The Russian official report received
tonight says: the engagements which
have taken place on the left bank OF
the vistula have been nothing more
than outpost affairs. In these the Rus
sions would seem to have been engag-
ed in holding the Gerfnans, while the
Russian main force was forming along
the Bzura river. where battle is be-
ginning to develop. and the German
attack is said to have been repulsed.
Germans Are Repulse
AS was expected. the Germans made
an attempt to cross the Vistula in an
endeavor to outfiank the Russians. but
this was frustrated by destructive
fire from the Russian artillery. and the
se ure of the pontoon bridges.
Despite the desperate work facing
them in North Poland. the Russians
continue their operations in East Prus-
sia and against Cracow. while in
western Galicia they are taking up
positions along the BounaitZ river in
an attempt to stop the flow or the Aus
tro-German forces.
Part of the Przemysl garrison has
made a sortie in force in an attempt to
open the railway to the southwest, and
is giving battle~to the Russian besfeg-
ing army.
Details Lacking in Berlin.
