ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN
WAR SITUATION.

+ :
Germans are holding fast to their
original plan Of campaign for reach
ing Paris by fanking on the west the
long line Of Notifications running
southeast from La Fere.

mans is curiousIy similar, on larger
scale, to- the conditions they over.
came at Namur. In Belgium, Namur
was the apex Of an angle formed by
the Meuse and sambre rivers. In the
same way Amiens is at the apex of an
angle formed by the Somme and Avre
rivers, which is now bearing the Ger
man approach to Paris. The fortified.
ltions face the open side Of the somme.
Avre angle, beginning at La Fere and
running forty-five miles in the oppo-
site direction through Laon and
Rheims. The Germans are now aim
ing to pass through this angle by
three roads, converging on Paris. The
roads are from Amiens, from Peronne
and from ST. 6ItntIn, respectively
seventy, eighty and ninety miles from
the capital. ~
The Germans must cover the for
tress as they did at Namur and pro-
coed across the two rivers. They
must descend from hills over the
Somme and then, after traversing a
plain Of twenty miles between the two
rivers, cross the Avre by ascending a
series Of heights. The geographical
conditions give warrant for Sir John
French's prediction that the allied po-
sitons are such as, to invite German
disaster If a decisive battle 10 fought.

Germans Make Light Of Recent Naval
Enaaqement.

London. Aug. 31.-A dispatch re-
ceived here by the Marconi Wireless
Telegraph company from Berlin gives
an official statement concerning the
naval battle off Helgoland. 1t says:
"The naval engagement near Helgo-
land is treated by the press as being
without Significance and as an occur
renee which cannot affect the general
situation. The fighting took place ap.
parently within the range of Helgo-
land forts, which, however, were I'M
able to use their guns owing to the
thick weather"

having reinforced the first line, which,
according to the war Office, has driv-

columns that are cooperating for the
defense OF Galicia and Eastern Prus-

The war Office says the Russian
advance is being steadily pushed for
ward and is Overcoming an unusual
ly stubborn resistance.
The Austrian raid into Southeastern
Poland is said to have failed and the
Austrians are now said to be in full
retreat.
The citadel at Koenigsberg is still
held by the Germans. 1t is said not
to be part of the Russian plan Of
offense to take it by storm. but merely
to keep the garrison bottled UP in it.

les, Mathematics and thorough res
views. III

bONDSWORKS
HARD FOR
MATCH

Joe Bonds Is predicted to have
his hands full when he meets
Larry Madden of Portland tOmor-
row night at the Eagles smoker.
Madden Outweighs Bonds by q
considerable margin, and Is said
to he tough, willing boxer, with
a powerful kick i'm his right mitt.
While he has nexer boxed pro-
fessiOnaliy except with Ed Hagen,
whom he held to draw last fall,
he was a long time amateur
heavyweight champion of the
Rose City.
Joe, however, has prepared for
the bout with his usual care aud
promises to be as fit as a fiddle
when he dances into the ring
Tuesday night. He modestly re-
fuses to refer to the probable out
come of the bout, although Jol
German. his manager, insists that
he will win by knockout.
The other main event, which
will be between Paul Steele and
F'renehy Vaise, also promises to
lie a go of unusual interest. Both
men are extremely clever box
ers, and Vaise is the champion
lightweight of this section of the
country. He has also defeated
some good men in the South.
Steele has worked very hard
for this encounter, and will do
his best to win over the clever
lad from Renton, as victory
would give him a lot of prestige.

But If the system is kept toned up

ROAD RECONSTRUCTION
|. RESTS UPON DECISION
Stretch Through Enola to Be Re-
built if Supervisors Win
Present Suit

On the outcome of a suit pending
in the Cumberland county courts rests
the question of the building of the
road from Pyne'S corner, at the bor-
ough limits of West Fairview, through
Enola to the main road between West
Fairview and Marysville at the Enola
Young Mems Christian Association.
The line of the Valley Railways Com
pany runs the full length Of the thor
oughfare.
Supervisors of East Pennsboro town.
ship, in which the present road Is
located, are anxious to have the road
reconstructed with the aid of the State
and county, but they fear that If the
suit now in court should be lost the
township will have too much debt to
carry.
Case May Be Delayed
The supervisors of East Fennsboro
are at present defendants in suit
brought by the county commissioners
for the payment, with interest, of
one-eighth of the cost of the new road
between the borough limits of Camp
Hill and the river. AT the time the
road was built, say the supervisors,
the State was to pay two-thirds and
the county commissioners one-third
of the cost. The case will probab bly,
not be called before the next term of
court.
All Rests On Decision
If the township should be made to
pay for portion of the road, then
there is little likelihood of the Enola
stretch being constructed for several
years. On the contrary, If the town
ship wins, it is quite probable that at
the first meeting following the decision
the papers authorizing the construc-
tion of the road will be signed.
