WOULD BUY LAND FOR
PARK VIEW SCHOOL
Citizens Association Urges Upo1
Commissioners Need of Larger
Fairgrounds.

Purchase of additional ground for
Fairgrounds and school gardens in con-
nection with the new Park View School,
now under construction, is urged by the
Park View Citizens Association in a
communication to the District Commits
sioners.
This is advanced as the most i'm
portant Of six urgent needs of the COM
munity which the association would
like the Commissioners to provide for
in their annual estimates. The other
five are:
Ask Pavement Of Streets.
Paving with bituminous macadam
New Hampshire avenue from Park
road to Georgia avenue.
Paving with macadam, Warder street
from Newton street to Rock Creek
Church road and from Kenyon street to
Columbia road.
Paving with macadam Newton street
from Georgia avenue to the point al
ready improved west of Georgia ave-
nue..
Paving with macadam Park place
from Lamont street to Columbia road
and from Newton street to Rock Creek
Church road.
Paving with macadam Lamont street
from 9Th street to Park place.
Stress is laid upon the school matter
for the reason that there are but two
available pieces of property for play
grounds and the association is fearful
that unless one Of them is acquired
without further delay the school NAV
| be permanently denied playground ia :
cilities.
Site Favored by Association.
The association favors the purchase
of at least $4,000 feet of ground just
to the north of the school. The only
other available land is a lot, SO by $50
feet, adjoining the school site on the
southwest II the latter is not obtained
for school purposes the association
fears that it will be utilized for the
erection Of three or four small houses
that may possibly attract an undesira-
BILE class OF residents to the Vicinity
Of the school. The Commissioners are
requested to recommend an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the schools play
ground needs.

fAFIS, August 20 ESQ PLAT
There has been continued activity on
the part of our artillery along the
banks of the Disc, to the north Of
the Aisne; in the Champagne dis
trict, and along the front at La
Settle.
In the Argonne there has been lighting
with mines in the region Of Vienne
lie Chateau and fighting at close
range with bombs and hand grenades
in the sector of st. Hubert and near
Marie Therese.
On the heights of Linge and Of Schratz-
mannele the German losses have
been very heavy. We found a large
number of dead German soldiers in
the trenches. $50 yards long. which
We occupied.
Last nights official French statement
says:
The artillery fighting continues intense
on the greater part of the front, no.
tably on both banks of the Disc, in
the region of Plessis de Rove, and at
Vingre. where We hit an enemy
train and convoy, and also in Cham
payne and in the southern Woevre.
In the forest of the Argonne the Ger
mans exploded near hill 2S5 a mine,
which did not disturb our works.
In the Vosges the enemy confined him
self to violent cannonading on the
positions of Linge and Schratzman-
nele.
During an action yesterday which en-
abled US to realize in Artois a very
appreciable gain we took prisoners
and captured five machine guns.

ITALIAN STATEMENT,

ROME, August 10. via Paris, August 20
In the Tonale zone our artillery seri-
ously damaged an enemy fort called
Pozzi Alti. The defenders were
obliged to evacuate the works, pur-
sued by our fire.
In the upper Cordevole valley enemy
batteries. after trying in vain to
shell our troops out of their posi-
lions, directed their fire against the
township and church of Piave di
Livinallongo, causing an outbreak OF
fire.
In the upper F'irez We made consider
able progress. We captured a re-
doubt on Monte Palermo and con-
quered a line of trenches near Drei-
zinnen-Huette, making twenty-four
prisoners.
In the Tolmino section. the night OF
the 18th, the enemy made violent
counter attacks on positions gained
by our troops, but was completely
repulsed.
On the Carso plateau our line has been
pushed forward slightly. We have
made fifty-five prisoners and have
taken one machine gun.
The enemy is making increasing use
of aeroplanes, both for reconnois-
sance and attack. Our aviators,
whose continual bold exploits have
contributed so greatly to the sue
cessful progress of our operations,
together with anti-aerial artillery,
constitute an effective means of de-
Tense against these enterprises of the
enemy.
