ITALIANS TOWARD
THEIR QUEST FOR
CITY Of TR|EST

London, Oct. 19.-Another step for
ward in their quest of Trieste has
been made by the Italians in the re-
gion south of Gorilla, additional
points of vantage to their progress
having been made and 1,771 men made
prisoners.
In this region which is about sixteen
miles northwest of Trieste and in the
Julian Alps, the Italians from August
6 to the present report they have cap
tured 30,881 Austrians. On the Carso
plateau, heavy Austrian attacks
against the positions recently taken by
the Italians have been repulsed.
Along the entire eastern Transyl-
vanian front the Rumanians still are
in retreat, and in the north also are
beginning to fall back before troops
of the Teutonic allies, according to
Berlin. Bucharest, however, says that
attacks at various points on their
northern and northwest fronts have
been repulsed.
The British troops have reached the
outskirts of the important town of
Sores in Greek Macedonia, north of
Lake Tahinos, having driven in their
opponents from the outlying districts,
London reports that the town is
strongly held by the Teutonic allies.
Westward the village of Brod, which
lies in Serbia, southeast of Monastir,
has been captured by the Serbians.
Both Berlin and Sofia report the re-
pulse of attacks along the Cerna river,
and on both sides of the Vardar.

VOTE TO RETAIN BASEBALL.
Overwhelming Majority Against Adolf
ton Of Sport at GrInnell.

Special to Times-Rtpuhlican.
Grinnell. Dec. 2S.-The student vote
taken by the Honor G" club on the
question of the abolishing of baseball
as an intercollegiate branch of ath
letics for Grinnell resulted overwhelm-
ingly in favor of retaining the sport In
the college. The total vote was 29S for
retaining the sport, and 80 for abolish
lnent.
The men and the women of the col
leee cast separate ballots. The men
cast by far the majority of the votes
anG the result was POI for retaining
baseball and SO against its retainmen,.
The women voted 81 in favor of base
bali and 6 against.
The vote seems to indicate that there
is a pretty general sentiment among
the, students for intercollegiate base
ball next spring, altho not half of the
student body east ballots Many think,
however, that if the entire college had
voted, the sentiment would be more
evenly divided.
The vote was given by tn Honor
G." club to TIE athletic coal.u 'ca Of tbs
fecu,,y! which will consider whether
the vote should be placed before the
faculty body. Adherents of thes port
are not exceedingly hopeful that the
student vote and the recommendations
Of the G clrrb1wilf have much effect.

Offer Of churdan Merchants Leads &c
Improvement Of Fifteen Miles.
Churdan. Dec. 23,---I.ast spring the
business men of Churdan published ar
offer to give In money $3.50 as a dona-
ton for every complete mile of gravel
put on within five miles OF the town
limits during the year, The results
have been that approximately fifteer
miles have been put to grade and tiled
during the summer and the last OF the
gravel Is being put on these graded
miles at the present time. The com
munity will have fifteen miles Of new
graveled road In addition to what was
already on. Churdan now has a con
tinuous graveled road to Jefferson ant
from three to five miles in each OF
the other three directions.
The grading, thing and gravelinl
has been done at an average cost OF
5000 per mile so that $4,000 in road
work a been done. This has beer
made possible by the liberal donations
OF the farmers of this community in
addition to- what the business men
have given. Many of the farmers have
hauled gravel for days with a mum
Der of teams, others who had gravel
have donated the gravel pit. while
others gave cash. Many of these
farmers who donated literally were
renters.
A great deal of pride has been taken
in the name in which the gravel is
placed on the road. No indiscriminate
dumping has been allowed. The gravel
has been dumped straight and care
fully, and constantly run over with a
light grader every few days until II
became packed. This has avoided
bumps and ~roughness.
