Except in Uzsck Pass In Carpath-

toward the plains of Hungary.

Meuse and the Moselle the French are
trying to drive the Germans from St

that the French assaults have been
repulsed. The French some time ago
reported the capture of the town and
claims to have made almost daily
progress since then. The Belgians

Col. Roosevelt was applauded round

smiled as he took his seat. Attorney

He called attention to the letters

erty owners against the city of Rich
mond to prevent the enforcement Of
the ordinance recently enacted by
council, providing for the paving Of
North A street from Fifth to Sixteenth
street, the fight to defeat the perma-
nent Improvement program, which is
to be carried out this year, has COM
pletely collapsed.
ALTHOUGH a great majority of the
North A street property owners were
opposed to having the street paved,
not enough of them were willing to
make an active fight against having
the improvement made. Those who
were willing actively to assist declined
to assume the entire responsibility, SO
it was decided to withdraw the suit, -
Attorney B. C. Robbins said today. The
case was to have been heard in circuit
court tomorrow
Board Rejects Plan.
A few days ago the demonstrators
offered a compromise to the board of
public works, agreeing to have the
street macadamized at the entire ex-
pense Of the property owners, prOvid-
ing the city would rescind the perma-
nent improvement order. This pro-
posal was promptly rejected by the
board, the demonstrators being in
formed that the city was perfectly sat
isfied to have the suit tried as a test
case to determine whether the council
actually had the authority to order
permanent street improvements, as it
apparently has under the provisions of
the state law. This action on the part
Of the board took the fight out of most
of the property owners.
Bids for the paving of North A street
were to have been received last week,
but City Attorney Bond advised the
board not to open them so long as the
suit against the city was pending in

Police Department
Aids in Clean-Up

Fifteen of their eleven thousand ser
geants visited the city schools to tell
the children what true police work
meant. That it was making the
neighborhood happier, safer. cleaner
and better for every one who lived
in it. They found they could do more
educational work along the lines of
decent citizenship than the average
school teacher. The police are encour-
aged to think of thems selves as useful
constructive personages. Junior police
Leagues were organized to help carry
out the new idea. Juvenile delinquen-
cy decreased, instead of thousands of
dangerous bonfires, very few were re-
ported
A patrolman in an outlying district
asked how he kept people from
throwing things on the streets, said
Its a game. sir. Kids here are crazy
on war I've got 'em playin' war on
dirt and refuse. If they see an over
loaded ash can, they assault it and
carry it too. Dirt in the streets is at
tackled and overcome just in a min
ute" No group of men are closer to
the human side Of the city than the
police, any condition which interferes
with the well-being and harmony of
human kind is police business. Beauty
and order are as clearly the residents
right as the health Of the community
and the safety of its property.

data will be scattered throughout Rich

Elkhart county-s the only county in

two counties in the state where there
have been three hundred or more
death from tuberculosis in the past
six years.
The statistics are taken in series of
three years. In the three years begin

The pamphlets will be made up at

THE NEW POLICE POWER.

Roughly speaking police power has
meant the arrest of citizens for mis-
demeanors. Today police power in
New York city is far bigger and
broader idea In single sentence the
blue and brass uniform is no longer
solely a symbol of authority, but one
of human service.
The police department of any city
should be largely educative, should in
culcate the understanding that po-
liceman's duty is to raise the tone Of
his precince. The plan to bring this
abount in New York was hooted at
three years ago, but now 1t is bearing
good fruit.
