BRITISH CABINET UNDECIDED AS TO
 DRINK PR0BL E

London. .sApri1 S.-The cabinet hav- ing failed to come to a decision on the drink duestions no settlement is ex- peeted unei a15fa it meets next week. The Impression is growing thar bringing in measure prohibiting the sale Of spirits. Even this step will not be exclusively a government policy since nothing can be done without consultation with other parties
 The conservative leaders, A. J. Bal four and Andrew Lonar Law are be- Iieved already to have given private ly their sanction to whatever action may be taken, provided no measure for total prohibition be considered at this time.
 In the Carpathians
 The fight for the Carpathian passes is proceedingiy bitterly, Both sides claim local successes. The Russians are fighting their way over four pass es, Dukla, Lupxow, Uzok and Rostoz, the last, named of which is in their possession. Bostok Pass is not so i'm portant as the others, but as a branch road from it leads to the heart of the Uzsok Pass, which from the desperate nature of the struggle in that vicinity. is regarded as the key to the Hungar- ian plains
 i
 Austrians Handicapped sThe Austrians seem to have only enough men to hold the Russians in check and evidently are unable to make an effectiveYcou attack from Bukowina. Therefore, their hope l must again center in the Germans. who may force back the Russians as they did when the invaders had reached a, l point farther within Hungary saan they have gained this time On that 1 occasion an Austro-G German force at tackled the, Russian flank in the coun- try south of Cracow and threatened it's lines of communication, quickly bringing about Q retreat. A similar l movement might be attempted now. but it's chance of success probably would not be as great as before, as the Russians are now heavily eny trenched and presumably could only be dislodged at the cost Of heavysIoss- es for the attackers
 In the west the French are ham mering away at the German wedge eS- mans claim to be checking all these their advances, though slow, are steady

ACCUSE AGENTS / OF CHATTING ON
 ALLIES ORDERS

London, April 8-The Cologne Gazette prints the following:
 The Allies recently found it necessary to replace the commits sioners who were in, North Ameri- ca looking after deliveries of arms because they worked too much for their own pockets. They had de- manded such high commissions that in order not to work at a, loss the armament factories had to de- liver bad material. This was open Iy admitted by the manufacturers.
 s'It is said English, French, and Russians all shared in the bribes, so that they have no grievance against one another. In many cases commissioners of different countries even co-operated.
 tHThe investigation is still going on, but probable will soon develop into a pretty scandal"

POOR ROADS OUT OF GRAND
RAPIDS.

Automobile owners and drivers
who drive into other cities OF our
stale are more than ever impressed
with the fact that Grand Rapids is
way behind other cities in the con
ditfou to her leading thorofares. The
roads leading to Port Edwards and
Nekoosa are the best, but the Sen
aoa. Rudolph, PIover, PIainfield, and
Saratoga roads all need some work.
The city should look after them
as Tar as the limits and the adjoin-
ing towns should be encouraged by
The automobile club TO work with tie
ery and county in building roads
and keeping up the roads through
out the County. There is nothing
Ike good roads to Increase the val

lion will increase the tax roll, large

The city and county. Let everybody
ak and work Tor good reads. The
favorable results will be wonderful.

Old TIRES USED
At SWIMMING
POOL

Eight or more old automobile tires
have been fixed up and wiz be used
at the swimming pool for the be-
nefit of those patronizing the pool.
These tires look something like the
old time life buoy and will prove
handy 10 those learning to swim.
1t is a noticeabl fact that there
have been fewer drownings since the
pool was started than before. This is
accounted for by the fact that the
youngsters have a reasonably safe
place in which to swim and battle
and there is always some one near
@ render aid should it be required.
The graduated depth and the alb
sence OF current make this swim
ming pool an ideal place for the
youngsters.
