RECENT STORMS
HINDER IN V0SGES

Basel, Switzerland. April 11.-(via Paris,
AS P. M.).-Recent storms have hindered
military operations in the Vasges noun
tains and in Alsace, two feet Of snow
having fallen on the heights and in the
valleys. A thaw now is setting in, MAX
ing the operations increasingly difficult
by swelling all the streams.
In spite OF violent German attacks the
French have held Hartmanns-We ilerkopf
firmly. This position dominates the plain
toward Colmar and 1t Is thought the
French are awaiting for the floods to
subside to put this position to profit and
to attack the important communications
between Muelhausen. Colmar and Strass-
burg.

State Liable FOR cave.ins.


Hon. William r. Pattangall of Water
Vile. the attorney general, in an opinion
handed down Saturday says that it is
the duty of the Highway Commission to
protect abutting property from caving
IN whenever any excavating work is done
under orders Of the commission. Attorney
General Patangalrs opinion was given
at the request of Paul D. Sargent, the
chief engineer of the State Highway
Commission. and is as follows:
Replying to yours of recent date in
regard to protection of abutting owners
during construction Of highways. I have
no doubt but that it is the duty Of the
commission to protect abutting property
from caving in whenever any excavating
work is done under orders Of the commits
sion. The question of the necessity Of
such protection would be q matter of dis
erection but the risk of not protecting
sufficiently would be assumed by the
commission. and any damage resulting
from an error Of judgment on their part
would undoubtedly render the State
liable"

KITCHENER CALLS FOR SECOND
CONTINGENT CANADIAN TROOPS

Ottawa, Ont. Auri! 1l.-Lord Kitchener
has called on Canada for a second ex-
peditionary force.
The news was given parliament Sat
urday night by Premier Sir Robert Bor-
den, who said that the call had been ex-
pected for some time.
Three months ago Gen. Kitchener was
informed that them force was ready in
Canada to board troop ships and sail for
Europe. Premier Borden said that since
that time the war office had been kept
fully informed on it's training and had.
from time to time, made suggestions
which had been followed with absolute
precision by the Canadian authorities
Now that the summons had come, the
second expeditionary force would 60 for
ward at an unrevealed date in the near
future to Join the first eXpeditionary
Canadian force now at the front. The
Canadian second expeditonary had been
summoned soon. said the premier, for
reasons which commended themselves to
the head Of the war Office and reasons
which were generally recognized.
The premier noted that with an enor-
nous unmber Of men under training in
Great Britain the provoking of accom-
modations and training for the various
contingents from the overseas dominions
was not an easy task.
The announcement Of Lord Kitchen
er's call was received with cheers from
both parties in the House. Premier
Borden followed it with a statement
of the progress Canadian authorities
had made in raising, arming, training
and dispatching troops since the open
ing of the war This showed that ip

Everybody knows Bob OFT. They all
enjoy his droll humor and pronounced
witticism. The very mention of his name
brings to mind a thousand side splitting
absurdities that not only convulsed them

seems to be question whether or no

question perfectly clear, 1t is stated most
emphatically that the two companies are
two distinct organizations having moth
ing in common except being from the
same office and presenting plays Of the
same type from the pen of the same
playwright and both charged with posi-
tiv eorders to maintain standards at all
times that are above question.
In all other particulars the two shows
are expected to maintain friendly riv-
airy for honors and material results as
keen as though the owners were at
swords points. Bob OTIS return on the

practically all the old favorites who APP

there was an all round old fashioned

it mildly.
