and for several days past they have
been engaging the enemy.

CONFERENCE IN BERLIN.
German Statesmen Discuss Proposal Of
United States,

Berlin, Feb. 25.-Nothing has been
made known of the results of the con-
ference held by German statesmen last
night to discuss the American identi-
cal notes on marine warfare and the
feeding of civilian populations sent by
the United States to Germany and
Great Britain. This meeting was held
at the residence of Chancellor Beth

out in Berlin of the reported sinking
of British transport by a German
submarine.
EveIyn's Crew Safe.
All of the crew Of the American
steamer Evelyn, which went down in
the North sea as the result of striking
mine, apparently have reached
Bremenhaven, the second boat having
been picked up by a German steamer.
The German announcement that a
British troops transport has been sunk
has not been borne out from London,
where it is said the report doubtless
referred to the sinking Of the Branls-
some Chine, a government collier,
which was attacked the afternoon of
Feb. 23 in the English channel at a
point south Of Beachy Head.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York. April Especial: The
efforts of the French TO advance in
the Woevre district are meeting with
resistance and fierce German counter
attacks at various points, not only in
that territory. but to the north in the
neighborhood of Albert.
The fighting to the north of Albert
was along the banks of the Ancre
river and resulted from an attempt
by the Germans to take the French
trenches at Hamel and i'm the Thieu-
pal wood.
The attack was carried out with
determination, but, according to the
French official statement. the Ger
mans were repulsed.
Berlin reports the capture of three
villages in User canal and the failure
of French attacks in the Argonne.
But the French claim TO have cap
tured a section of a German trench
in that region. The French admit
the loss of some trenches previously
captured from the Germans i'm the
Montmare wood.
Details of the latest operations in
the Carpathians are lacking, the re
port being largely confined to the de

BONDING QUESTION
REASONS FOR SUBMITTING MAD
ISON SCHOOL BONDS AT A
SECOND ELECTION.

The board has again submitted the
question of bonding the district TO
build a new schoolhouse. They think
the people ought to know just why
they thought it necessary 10 resub-
NIT il this year.
When the bonds we're first offered
last year, there seemed TO be no OBJ
jections whatever to the manne in
which they had been submitted. The
board, thinking the first bids were
too low, again advertised for bids.
The bonds were sold to a bonding
company subject to the approval of
its attorney. Just then the European
war began, and the board thinks that
the bonding company instructed its
attorney to find some legal flaw in
the manner of submitting the bonds
so they would not have to take them.
Whether their conjecture was cor
rect or not, this is just what he did
do. In the resolution of the board
calling for an election the words
mayor and city commissioners"
we're used. Now the code states in
one place that the election shall be
called by the mayor. The attorney
for the bonding company objected to
the words and city commissioners
in the resolution of the board. In
reality the mayor did call the cleo
ton as only his name was signed to
the published call.
Now another place in the code 1t
states hat such elections (for the
purpose of bonding a public corpora
tom shall be called the same as all
other elections, and the code provides
that all other elections are called by
the mayor and city commissioners.
Upon this little technically the bonds
were rejected. There was just as
good legal grounds for putting the
words and city commissioners" In
the resolution as there was for leay-
ing them out. The attorney for the
bonding company could have object
ed to them if they had been left out
upon just as strong legal grounds as
he did to their having been put in.
The board still thinks that the bonds
were legally submitted. and that the
courts would hold this to be true
were the question submitted to them.
Now the bonding companies seem
to be in a combine. If the attorney
of one of them rules against a bond
submission, the others will not con-
slider buying such bonds. In fact,
one attorney often acts for several
companies. The attorney that ruled
against our bonds does so. Because
of the conditions making it extreme
ly difficult to float the bonds, the
board thought best to again submit
