ACTIONS ON BELGIAN FRONT
Optimism Over Outlook for Set
Element of LuSitania
Controversy.

IleSueHl wilson ana MS cabinet
have studied Germany's latest pro-
posal for settlement of the American
governments demands concerning
the sinking of the Lusitania. While
some alterations in the form of the
agreement, which will require its ref
erence to Berlin again, must be made,
they are regarded as minor ones, and
optimism prevails that in the near
future the controversy will be settled
amicably.
Everything is substantially all
right, but it is not finished" was the
remark of Ambassador Bernstorff
after a conference with Secretary of
State Lansing on the situation.
The German ambassador has for
mally presented to the state depart
ment communication from the Ber-
lin foreign office claiming that the
British steamer Appam, recently taxi
en- into Hampton Roads by German
prize crew, is entitled under the
Prussian-American treaty to remain
in American waters indefinitely.
The American government has an
nounced no decision in the matter.
Charged with having been con-
nected with plots involving questions
of American neutrality the German
consul-general and vice-consul, and
the Turkish consul-general, in San
Francisco, have been indicted by
federal grand jury.
Artillery actions between the
French and British and the Germans
continue at various points b on the
Franco-Belgian front, but there have
been no important changes in posi-
tons anywhere. Nor have the Ger
mans yet begun the great offensive
for which they are reported to be
preparing.
Heavy fighting has broken out
again in East Galicia. All along the
front the artillery has been very ac-
tive. The Russians succeeded north
of Tarnopol after repeated attacks in
penetrating the Austro-Hungarian adj
vanced infantry posts, but were
elected from them later on, according
to Vienna.
In the AustrO-Italian theater have
been only artillery duels. In the Bal
kans all is quiet.
Austrian warships in the Adriatic
have Intellectually attempted to tor
pedo a British cruiser and a French
torpedo boat which were aiding the
Serbian army in its evacuation of the
Adriatic coast. A Teuton submarine
also attempted to sink two entente
allied vessels off Durazzo, but the
missed their mark.
On advice Of his physicians King
George, who is convalescing from the
injuries sustained by him in France,
will not reopen parliament in person

Money grows on trees. the old saying to the contrary, not withstanding.
 Autumn leaves have been dis covered to have an excellent use which Nature has long known about, but man neglected. The richest soil is the woodland mould that poets write about but hate to step in.

drawn.
At the conclusion Of the examina-

The motion was made and argued by

ROADS
SHOW TO Be
FINE Event
Along with Another Big Affair
in the City Of New York
at an Early Date.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S-That the
highest interest Of the people OF the
United States have been considered
in making up the program for the
thirteenth annual convention OF the
American Road Builders Associa-
ton and arranging for the seventn
annual good roads show in connec-
ton. is the view Of those in charge
Of the work. 1t is considered that
the conventions of this association
are milestones for the registration OF
developments made in street ana
road work.
The convention and exhibit will
be held at Mechanical Hall. Pitts
burg, Pa, February 90 to March 3.
Some of the SUBJECTS to be discussed
have already been decided upon.
Among the subjects concerning coun-
try roads there will be Roads at
Low Cost for Moderate Traffic"
Concrete Roais," "Bituminous Sur
faces for State Highways" and In
street paving work there are Rail
1way Tracks on Paved Streets, +"
Recent Tendencies in Stone Block
Pavements, Especially with Respect
to Size Of Block" Subjects which
cover. both city and country improve
ments are Foundations" Brick
Streets and Roads," Effect Of Mo-
tor Trucks" Contractors Sugges-
lions to Engineers. Special articles
are being prepared on 1.-The Du Pont
Highway and the Columbia High
way" the latter being most remark
able piece OF construction. Other
subjects will be announced as decided
upon. with the names of those who
viii participate in their presentation.
The executive committee has decid-
ed that the best exposition Of each
subject can be obtained by follow
ing out the plan Of presentation
which has been employed at several
recent annual conventions of the as
ISOLATION. Under this plan the COM
mittee selects an authority to pre-
pare paper, introducing the subject,
and another authority to open the
discussion from the floor of the con-
vention is invited.
In no previous year have plans for
the road show been so far advanced
or so large a proportion Of space re-
served within so short a time after
announcement was made by the man
agement that space could be assigned.
Among the applicants for space are
many of the largest manufacturers Of
road material and machinery in the
United States, so that the complete
success OF the exhibition is already
fully assured.
An innovation in program prepare
ton has been decided on by the COM
mittee. One session of the conven-
ton will be devoted to subjects which
may be selected by the convention :,
self, by vote. With the carefully pre-
pared program as a basis, this par
ticular session should round out the
work OF the convention from an edu-
cational standpoint and demonstrate
all that is best in the construction Of
streets and roads.

TRAIN ROBBERS ! |
Are Believed to Be in Cincinnati
as Unsigned Bills Have
Shown Up There.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 1S.-It has de-
veloped that Cincinnati is harboring
the gang that held up and robbed a
Baltimore and Ohio train on the night
of October 5 at Central, W. Va, OF
nearly a million dollars Of unsigned
fifty dollar bills, being shipped by the
United States treasury.
The first inkling that members OF
that modern bandit crew was in this
city came when a man presented an
unsigned fifty dollar bill at a local
theater and received change for that
amount.
1t was some time before suspicion
was aroused, and the manager notified
Police Lieutenant Seebohn, who has
the man under surveillance.
Police headquarters have been no
tilted that the man who passed the bill
in company with a woman, were in a
drug store at Ninth and Vine streets
here. Detectives went to that place
but failed to locate the man.
The bills being passed here have
been identified as part of those stolen
by the Central, W. Va. bandits.

this latter question on the grounds
of lrrevelancy. The court permitted
witnesses to answer the second ques-
ton. but withheld his decision as 70
whether 1t should 60 to the Jury Or
be stricken out. The state asso stg-s
gested that witnesses to prove gener-
al reputation and character could not
be offered before the defendant hinl-
self had taken the stand, but TINS

The defense, 1t is said. expects TO
put William Nusbaum on the stand

gether with that OF his chauffeur and
perhaps other witnesses, will con-
clude the taking Of Testimony. The
case will probably 30 to the jury to
day.
