WAR REVIEW
FOR The DAY

LONDON, Oct. 3.-War interest cen
tered today on the fighting In the Rou-
manian theatre. Consequences of
major importance may attend the in
vasion of Bulgaria by a Roumanian
army. The indications are that the
Roumaaians will try to strike at the
rear of Field Marshal Won Macken-
sens army, compelling his retirement
from Dobrudia.
On the northern front of the Rou-
manian war front the Germans under
Won Falkenhayn, are pressing forward
in the region of Rothenthurn pass with
the evident intention of trying to in
wade Roumania from that quarter.
Action is in progress there.
Germans Suffer Loss
On the Somme front the last twen-
ty-four hours have been comparatively
quiet except for local fighting and
artillery combats. The Germans at
tackled the French east of Combles,
but were dispersed with severe losses
More reverses have been suffered by
the Bulgarians in the Macedonian zone
of operations, the British and Servians
both reporting advances.
In Galicia, the Russians keep up
their attacks. Vast forces of Teuton
soldiers are thus engaged there pre-
venting Won Hindenberg from sending
re-inforcements to other fronts where
the German allies are hard pressed.

SUES RAILROAD
FOR POOR span
over ITS TRACK

Suit will be brought soon by the
Public Utilities commission and w. O.
Jones, county highway superintendent,
to make the c. & O.. railroad alter
the overhead bridge which it erected
last month over it's right-away on the
West River pike, Dalton township,
west of Economy.
Mr. Jones and the county commits
sioners agreed yesterday to have
County Attorney Hoelcsher draw up
complaint Immediately.
The bridge was built to replace one
which burned this spring. 1t is made
of wood and is very narrow. The
people who have to use it registered
a complaint with the county claiming
that the narrowness Of the bridge
and the high grades of the approaches
make it dangerous to those who must
pass over it.
The complaint which will be filed
with the utilities commission will
claim that it is dangerous for numer-
Gus school hacks to pass over it and
that farmers are unable to haul heavy
loads on the road because no team can
pull heavy load up the steep grade
and approaches. Automobiles are also
having considerable trouble in cross
ing the bridge.

Last night Earl Moore heard faint
calls for help coming up from the
dark regions of the river bottom TN

police headquarters. Officers Parks

frozen, his clothing coated with ice.
They took him to police headquarters.
The generous warmth of a gas stove
and medicine administered by a city
physician soon restored the former
soldier and he was placed in Jail.
He informed the officers that he did
not know how he came to fall from
the bridge or how he happened to get
on the bridge. He dropped in shallow
water close to the bank. He does not
remember when he pulled himself out
of the water onto the bank. nor how
long he remained under the bridge
before he was able to attract assist

clothing soaking wet, was exposed to

HILL estate
May BECOME
HOSPITAL site

Wayne county's tuberculosis hos
pital will probably be located on the
Hill estate, one-half mile east Of
Centervile, on the National Road.
This site Of thirty-seven acres was
agreed upon as a suitable location by
county commissioners and the health
committee of the Commercial club in
an executive session q. Monday after
noon.
The land has been priced to the
commissioners at $211 an acre or
$7.S07 for the tract
One of the particular advantages
OF the site Is that t is on the inter
urban line. Thus 1t would be pos
sible for persons who have friends in
the institution to visit them often.
Asks Committee Report
Commissioners had asked the
health committee to investigate ad'
visibility Of establishing the tuber-
culosis hospital in connection with
Reid Memorial hospital. The COM
mittee reported yesterday that such
location would not be advisable since
there is no street car or interurban
line near the city hospital. The COM
missioners accepted the report as
final.
Suitability of the Hill farm for cul.
tivation of vegetables would provide
beneficial exercise for patients who
could raise much OF their foodstuff
thereby cutting overhead expenses
of the hospital.
At the last session Of the county
council, $4,000 was appropriated as
a starter fund for a tuberculosis hos
pital. In an emergency session to be
held soon, council will be asked by
the commissioners for a $1,000 addi.
tional appropriation. This will make
the fund sufficient for purchase of the

company, filed an answer and general
denial in the circuit court today to
the appeal of the City of Richmond

fetal gas plant of the company should
be included In the valuation of the
property.

never made an appeal before the COM
mission for revision of the new rates
and that the gas company has met
all requirements set down by the

20 Id. Watermelon.

Thursday morning Mr.. r. w.
Bernard brought to our office, one
of the biggest melons we have 50
far seen this season, it weighing
20 pounds. The melon was raised
on his truck farm just across the
bayou which is in charge of Mr.
Oneziphore Trahan, the expert
gardener. This truck garden has
a large variety of vegetables and
Mr.. Trahan has a ready sale for
his vegetables. The watermelon
patch consists of about two acres,
and the vines are full of melons,
some of which are beginning to
ripen. The tomatoes raised there
this season are larger than usual,
and the flavor is delicious
