Progress for State Highway

Partial Data on Harrison. .Russeiviile
Road.

Due, it is said, to the bad coudi-
tion of the roads, there was no COM
mittee here from Newton county
Saturday to meet State Highway
Commissioner Garter, who came to
develope further plans concerning
the Harrison.Russellville road.
But it seems that the work of the
survey has not been completed vet,
and, although some maps or prohles
have been filed with County Judge
Freezing, there is much more data
yet to come, and that the general
plans and cost footings for the road
caunot be ready before next week.
As soon as full maps, estimates,
etc, are in the hands of the county
Judge it is understood that proper
steps will be taken to get the
question before the people for final
decision.
With that portion Of our property
owners along the line who are con-
stitutionally opposed to taxation
for any purpose, good or bad, the

sentiment in favor of better roads
has been growing rapidly, and from
the wide awake element who believe
in better conditions for the future, a
most enthusiastic support of the
move may be expeCted.

ters or those relating to offerses which have no international aspect.
 No specific cases or circumstances were before the cabinet officers to- day. the discussion being devoted to the general subject.
 Every member of the official fam fly present today is directly con- cerned in preventing neutrality vio- Iations. The postoffice department with it's corps of inspectors, the treasury department, through the secret service, and the department of justice through it's bureau of inves- tigation are equipped to detect any offanscs of this character. As re- gently announced by the attorney general. the facts gathered by agents other than those of the department of justice will be turned over to that department for action, but each branch of the government will look into any suspicious circumstances coming to it's notice, and where there is ground for further action it will be taken promptly.
 Within the next few weeks, Mr. Gregory is expected to bring to the attention of congress the need of ad- ditional legislation to safeguard the nations neutrality. Suggestions have been made to him for more than one hundred amendments to existing laws. which officials who have investigated think will cover the entire ground and which if on the statute books at present could be used to prosecute many offenders escaping because of lack of laws under which prosecution could be brought.

German and Bulgarian Di- vision Reaches Kenali on the Greek Border Threat ening to Outflank Anglo French Forces
FRENCH WITHDRAW
 TO DEMIRKAPON
Occupy Deep Gorge Where Have Been Able to Re pnlse an Attack by Bull galians Future Plans Not Quite Clear
IRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wirel

LONDON, Dec S.-The situation in the Balkans is developing rapidly. The German and Bulgarian division reached Kenau on the Greek border, ten miles south of MOnastir thus threatening to outflank the Anglo French forces, while the Bulgarians, who also are supposed to be supported by Germans, have attached the allies extreme right wing near Strumnitza.
 Under this pressure the French have Withdrawn from the Krivolo Lake sa lient and at last accounts had taken up a position at Demirkapou in deep gorge about 20 miles from the Greek frontier, through which the Saioniki railway runs. Here they were attacked by the Bulgarians, who according to the French reports, were repulsed.
 The plans of neither the allies nor the Germans are yet quite clear, but apparently the Germans are determined on crushing the little force which went to the assistance of the Serbians and which has been and is still being re- inforced. The retirement of the allies to Demirkapou has led to the report that thev intended to abandon the Bal kan enterprise entirely, but the con-
 
 would seem to deny any such inten- ton while there is very strong mili- tary opinion here that Saloniki should be held as a base for future operations in the Near East
 There is little news from the other fronts. The Germans have scored a minor success in Champagne, where they captured about 500 yards of a French trench, part of which, however, has been regained; the British have received endorsements at Kut-El- Amara. where they are making their stand after the retreat from Ctesiphon, and the Italians, who for the past two weeks have been on the offensive are now engaged in meeting the Austrian counter attacks.
 The expected offensive of the allies in GaIlilpOli apparently did not ma terialize, while throughout Russia the wintry weather has put stop to all hut small ventures.
