Heavy Infantry and Artillery
Fighting Has Enabled Them
to Make Further Gains.
THERE rs A LACK OF NEWS
German Forces Under General
Bothmer Still Holding on in
the Region of Tarnapol.

LONDON, July 13.-There was very
little news today Of the battle of Eu-
rope-a term commonly applied to de-
scribe the new co-ordinated allied Of
fensive on all fronts. But the British
official statement tonight shows that
heavy infantry and artillery fighting
has been in progress and has enabled
the British to maintain their pressure
on the Germans and advance their line
at various points.
The British forces at Mametz woods
and within 800 yards Of the German
second line. The French forces are
separated only by the narrow Somme
Valley from the German third line
through Pcrrone and the Mont st. Quen-
tin, and both armies are doubtless en-
gagged in preparations for the next at
tacks.
A conference of the munition minis
ters of the four Entente Allies held in
London and presided over by the Brit
ish war minister, David Lloyd George,
shows that effective steps are being
taken to insure munitions and their
proper distribution.

blatt, expresses the opinion that the
coming days will be decisive of the
issue Of the whole war.

show that General Bothmer is still hold

fore the Deutschland starts on her

said he, II climbed up and down every
hatchway, looked into every eofipnrt
ment, and had my first experience with
periscope.
"Captain Koenig did not tell me jus1
when he expects to leave for Germany
but I presume it will be soon after ht
has his return cargo aboard. He is il

his orders from Berlin. His craft is
private one, just as much So as an.
North German Lloyd liner. My visi

ing the submarine he attended a lunch
con at the Germania Club given i

tsTo yo,l.' Captain Koenig was quo
cd as saying, "the trip Of the Deutsc
land is a great achievement. You .nu
not be too enthusiastic over 1t, Tor

Is the amount Of current consumed

tions cause it to varyf
The current consumed varies slightly
because as the compression increases,
due to throttle opening, the resistance
to the current becomes greater. The
difference In current consumption at

SUPERVISORS PIN
SALE County BONDS
WILL SELL ISSUE IN JANUARY TO
PAY FOR COUNTY
BRIDGES.
MAXIMUM ISSUE TO BE VI
$4,000 TO $4,000
Amount Of Issue Will Depend on Prog !.
res. Made by Bridge Contractors.
II Contracts Are All Completed Issue
Will BE tho Maximum--Tow nships
Want to Start Work.

Plans are being made by the board OF
supervisors to sell an issue Of bridge
bonds to furnish money to pay for part
of the bridges built under contract this
year. At the regular meeting of the
board, to be held next week, arrange
ments will probably be made to nego-
tate a sale of bonds probably in Janu-
ary. The amount Of the issue will not
be determined until late in the year, as
the sum of money required will depend
on the amount of work done by the
bridge contractors.
Chairman W. H. Jones, Of the board,
estimates that the maximum issue OF
bonds necessary to be sold will prob
ably not exceed 100000 to $4,000. This
estimate is based on the supposition
that the bridge contractors finish their
contracts. If they do not the amount
Of the issue will be correspondingly
less.
May Draw Only 4La Per Cent.
The rate Of interest that can be ne
gotiated for the bonds. will depend
somewhat on the condition Of the
money market but Chairman Jones ex-
poets that the county will be offered
the money on the bonds at not more
than Az per cent per annum.
Representatives of bond buying bank
ing firms will meet with the board next
week when tentative arrangements for
the bonds will be made. It is neces-
sary for the board to make it's tax levy
for 1917 in September, and at that time
= will ~ fc~ tN +.
pate the amount of interest to be paid
on the bonds in 1917 and to provide
for raising the money by taxes.
Township Ready to Work.
At an informal conference of the
members of the board of supervisors,
trustees Of Marietta and Iowa town
ship and members Of the Marshall
County Motor Club, held at the Mar
shalltown Club Wednesday, prelimi-
nary arrang ements were made for
starting to build the gravel road to
Marietta and Albion. The trustees Of
the townships want to get to work on
their part of the road at once, and get
it finished before corn picking.
Part of the survey has been made,
and the supervisors have instructed
the county engineer to complete the
survey at once and get the profiles Of
the road made, so the farmers may be-
gin work.
Extend Option on Gravel
The supervisors have secured an ex-
tension of the option for the gravel
pit on the James Andrews farm along
Summit street. The extension runs for
a year from the signing of the con-
trac and opti0n T11y 90 The date of
expiration was Nov. l. this year.
The county steam shovel is to be
moved from Rhodes to Albion and
established at the gravel pits for load
ing wagons.
