 The latest development available in London early today said that the Ger mans were within 10 miles of the city, having occupied Blanl1enb erghe, a small town on the Belgian coast about ten miles northeast of Ostend and connected herewith by steam tramways- It was thought the taking of the popular seaport within A hours was foregone conclusion if it has not already been occupied by the in vaders.

Tn oth- CT words, they concede it is a moral and spectacular victory for the. Ger mans but5of no great stra tegic signif- canoe. Whether this be so only fu- ture events can show but the British contention is that with the sea, bind ing the German right it loses a, weap- on heretofore used so effectively

 Besides the Chasseurs, the 14stn French infantry has covered itself with glory. After taking a village at the point of the bayonet, the infan- trYmen were obliged to abandon the place because of a murderous artiI- fery fire. They went back to the at tack on the following day, re-took the village and held it in spite of a con- tinual bombardment.

For this exploit the regiment has been named in or ders.
 Alsace continues also the scena of daily struggles for the possession of points of Vantage, the result of which 1t is difficult to ascertain as fortunes vary so rapidly. Towns are taken and retaken repeatedly. Heavy fighting in the southern end of the battle line indicates that the Germans have profted by weakening of the French forces to regain ground they had lost there.

cesses the Germans have attained in the past have. been derived from tho alacrity, of envelopment. The chan mel barried now prevents this and a decisive blow from the Germans, 1t is argued, must be delivered only after the allied front has been penetrat- ed. ''
 With no flank to turn, 1t will be necessary for. the allies to break the line somewhere and the fiereest fight ing is likely to continue to center around the Belgian frontier.
 All England is buzzing now with talk of the spy menace. the papers editor tally and otherwise dwelling on the presence of Germans at the hotels and urging closer restrictions. A man said to. be a spy dressed in Belgian uniform, has been arrested among the refugees arriving from Bel gium.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING

CUREIY enthusiastic and effective meeting was that
~ meeting held last night concerning the Midland Trail
This proposition is of far importance this city and
section than onetenh of people realize spite of the publicity
given the all times by the local newspapers and by
the the work of the oca newspapers this has
had do with the far attained than any other
factor even if we do have say it ourselves
We wish all of citizens could have heard the talks made
by James L. Hamilton, Horace T. DeIong and Howard Patt
last night just what this trail this city 1t would
have proven eye opener for a lot of people.
We believe that people however, have the wrong idea
when they think that Grand Junction alone will benefit far
than all other and sections of the county put together from
the building and opening and successful operation of the trail and
therefore believe that much OF the load being placed upon
Grand Junction ar finances concerned
However, heartily in accord with the spirit of that
meeting and shall do part carrying the program
Tomorrow propose have something say about the
money raising campaign and shall speak freely along this line,
only specifically dealing in the of financing this pro-
position but the of Grand functions record of putting
up and responding calls for finances in the past.
