added 10 the fund each year the great
or part OF our bonded indebtedness
will be taken care OF when these
bonds become due. Alevy Of % mills
will do this.
The County Bridge Fund shows a
balance 1t this time of $3O9S.62 and
o. it has been your custom to levy
such an amount as will build at least
two new bridges q year Of average
cost 8 levy Of q mills In addition to
the levy which Is placed on morgan
lied townships by you will do this
and do what necessary repair work
on bridges which will probably be
required during the ensuing year.
The County Road Fund shows q
balance Of $7641. IS and the AutomO-
bile Road Fund shows q balance of
$855.42 as this amount is probably
fully as much as will be required for
road work for the ensuing year it
will not be necessary to make a Coun-
ty Road levy for the ensuing year.
The expenses on the Special Salary
Fund for the past fiscal year were
] I,640.0O and the income into this
fund from other sources than those
Of taxes was S33S7 .26 leaving q balance
Of $S252.75 to be provided for by
levy. This will require q levy Of g
mills to raise the required amount.
In addition to the estimates given l
would suggest that a levy Of 81 mills
for Road and A mills for Bridge be
made on all unorganized townships.
In conclusion L would state that
the expenditures on the Interest and
Sinking Fund and Special Salary
Fund may be determined beforehand
with considerable accuracy but not
SO with the County General, Road and
Bridge Funds SO it will be necessary
for you to make allowances in your
estimates.

SURPRISE FOR ALLIES.

Berlin, Nov. 8, (By wireless to Say vile, N. Y.)-The statement of Pre- mier Asquith in his recent speech in the house of commons that the war had brought surprises to all elicited today the following comment from Major Moraht, the military critic: '"The Surprises were the German advance in Russia, the failure of the Franco-British attack against the German west front, the great and swift successes of the Austrians, Hun garians, Germans and Bulgarians in the Balkans and the insufficiency and lack of system of the Allies action in Serbia, which was carried out as though it were a accommodating move ment in the colonies instead of seri- ous military operation"

 ON STOCK MARKET
Some Substantial Gains Made
 During First Hour of Trading

New York, Wall St., Nov. 8, 10:30. a. m.-Further irregular price changes were recorded on the resumption of trading on the Stock Exchange to- day. War shares were distinctly heavy, Baldwin Locomotive, Max well Motors and Crucible steel los- ing from 1 to 3 points. This ten- dency was partly counterbalanced by copper issues, notably American Smelling and Anaconda. United States steel was fractionally lower at S5 3-4 but soon recovered. Rail- road shares manifested no very defi- mite trend. Losses gave way to some substantial gains before the end of. the first half hour.
 Close-General recessions occurr- ed in the final hour. wiping out most of the gains and causing some net losses The closing was heavy.

Boston Evening Transcript.

In the matter of the maintenance of neutral rights at sea, President Wilson has now taken the deepest plunge possible. x * but the big central fact remains that the com merce of all neutral nations, at sea, including our own, rests for its very existence on the protection of the navy of Great Britain. But for that protection our ships would today be huddling in our harbors. The seas would be the prey of fighting squad rons and ravaging cruisers. Outrages of the William P. Frye type would never have ceased If the American people believed that Presi- dent Wilson had any intention to stab the allies in the back, at the time of the most crucial need of all their resources, they would not ap- prove the stand he has now taken. The people will believe nothing of the sort.

 "And who was Judge Hall ?"
 President of the New Haven" re- piled the witness.
 Chapin further testified that while the Central of New England was able to get an entrance into Springfield through a traffic arrangement with the Boston and Albany, the road was unable to get any traffic arrangements at all with the New Haven. He sold the road to the New Haven, he said, through J P. Morgan, William Rock efeller, and other New Haven direc- tors whom 'I met at my office In New York;
 Tt was MT. Morgan who first spoke to me about selling the road,' he sald.

Among Americans who believe sin cerely that the cause of the allies is just, and that it is essential to our own security that Germany be pre- vented from realizing her ambition to dominate the world, there will be regret that Englands practices have been such as to cause this country, for the sake of it's self respect and the rights of it's citizens, to raise this issue with Great Britain. We cannot, however, supinely submit to unlawful injury to our commerce without a vigorous protest.
