CENTRAL,P0WERS
TAKE INITIATIVE
IN GREAT WAR
France and Region North of Sal
oniki Are Scenes of Most
Intense Activity.
GERMAN ATTACKS ARE
REPULSED NEAR VERDUN
Bulgarians Have an Additional
Frontage Along AEGEAN Sea
and Are Nearing Orfano.

London, Aug. 6.-Fighting contin-
ues more or less violently on all the
battle fronts in Europe, but no notice
able successes are chronicled. France
and the region north of Saloniki have
seen the most intense activity and
in both fields the initiative generally
has been with the Central Powers.
Paris and London announce the re-
pulse of repeated German attacks on
the Somme and Verdun fronts. Ger
man efforts were especially strong
at Thiepval, Guillemont, and Maure-
pas, north of the ,Somme, and on the
right bank of the Meuse before Yer.
dun.
London claims an additional Brit
ish advance near the Mouquet farm.
German trenches on front of 400
yards along the Courcelette-Thiepva
road we're occupied. Berlin asserts
the repulse of attacks along the Som
me front at virtually the same Sec
tors where German successes are re-
ported to have taken place.
Sofia records the repulse of Is con-
secutive attacks by Serbian soldiers
northwest Of Salonifli. The Serbian
losses are said to have been large.
Northeast of Saloniai, the Buigarians,
| apparently, without opposition from
the Greeks, have seized a good part
of Macedonia for five miles along the
Aegean.
The Bulgarians now have an addi-
tional frontage along the Aegean and
are nearing Orfano, so miles north
east Of Salonifli, thus pressing in on
the allied troops along the Struma

HUGHES CAMPAIGN
WILL Be CARRIED
ON VIGOROUSLY

Chicago, Aug 26.-The recently or
ganized Woman's National Republi-
can committee will have headquar-
ters in Chicago. James r. Garfield
of Ohio, who has been in New York,
comforting with leaders on plan Of
organization for the new committee,
which will carry on its own campaign
in connection with the eastern and
western headquarters officials, will
return to Chicago Monday, to begin
active work at this branch of the
campaign. The work will be carried
on in both suffrage and non-suffrage
states.
Chairman J. E. Hert said that only
two speaking dates thus far have
been definitely fixed for Theodore
Roosevelt. He will speak at Lewis
ton, Mont, August 81, an dat Battle
Creek, Mich, September 30. He will
speak in Chicago at some later date.
but the date has not been set. 1t
Is believed he will make a number
of other speeches for Hughes and
Fairbanks in the middle west, but
that he will not go farther west than
Kansas City.

others, it is said, will make tours of
the west for the republican national
ticket in October.

HUGHES TALKS TO
DENVER CITIZENS
Nominee Declares American En-
terprise Is Face to Face With
New Era,

Denver, Colo, Aug. 26-Charles E.
Hughes today told businessmen of
Denver at a luncheon at the Mile
High club that American enterprise
stood face to face with new era, in
which the watchwords were: cooper.
alton and efficiency; that capital and
labor "are our two hands," both of
which must be used intelligently and
with cooperation in the years to come
to make American first and Ameri
can efficient" t.....
Patriotism, the nominee declared
needed to be directed little different.
ly in the future than it has been in
the past. A sense of patriotism was
needed in public business, he said.
The businessmen of America, Mr.
Hughes said, were, in his opinion, pat
riotic, broad, sound in their views and
ambitious. The day of building pri
vate citadels along the highway OF
commerce by which "the ordinary
traveller could be held up and pay
tribute, he thought, had passed.

BLOW IN $4,000
FOR EQUIPMENT
Lots of Machinery, But Little
Road Building Being
Done.
COUNTY BOARD CONTINUES
EXTRAVAGANT POLICIES

With but short period this year
left suitable for road building, the
county commissioners dipped into the
diminishing road and bridge fund yes
terday by voting to expend $4,000
for more road machinery.
The county will purchase two more
gas tractors, making seven in all for
the five districts. A road leveler and
an overhead grader were also added
to the county's road outfit.
Here is a list Of the purchases
made Yesterday: ..
Gasoline tractor, from Aultman-
Taylor Co., $4,000.
Gasoline tractor, from Minneapolis
S. & M. Co., $4,000.
Universal Planer, $1,000.
Elevator Grader Con trial), $1,1OO.
The Russell Grader company is
putting it's grader in on trial and
agree to put grade over the Nc
Kenzie slough as a demonstration OF
the work the machine does.
It has been necessary to transfer
funds from the interest and penalty
account and from the emergency
fund to meet the unusual expendi.
lures. This plan of finance probably
will relieve conditions somewhat, but
the policy being followed is not get.
ting results.
William Watson of Mckenzie ap.
peared before the board yesterday
and made a protest against the con.
dition of the east and west road. He
was told that the commissioners
would strive to improve conditions
there.

BRIDGE ACROSS
. MISSOURI IS
BADLY NEEDED
Sentiment for Spanning Of Big
Muddy River by Wagon Bridge
Is Growing Warmer.
sHEAD+ OF 1EVEI.AND co.
DISCUSSES SITUATION

Mandan, Aug. 26.-The wagon
bridge across the Missouri is becom-
ing warmer" daily. This week Man.
dan enjoyed visit from Wilbur J.
Watson, head of the we'll known Will
bur J. Watson Engineering Co. Of
Cleveland, O., who in a general way
corroborated the testimony Of G. A.
P. Turner, consulting engineer for the
500 Line, to the effect that bridge
across the Big Muddy can be realized
for $250,000 to 100000. Mr.. Watson
disagrees with Mr.. Turner on only
one important point. The Cleveland
man is just as strong for suspension
type of bridge as the Minneapolis en-
gineer is for the cantilever style.
While in Mandan, Mr.. Watson inter-
viewed President J. H. Newton of the
Mandan Commercial club, w. A. Lam
termann and other prominent citizens,
and he reported a unanimous senti-
ment in favor of the construction of
the proposed bridge at the earliest
possible date. It is Mr.. Watson's opin-
ion that outside aid can be procured
if Morton and Burleigh counties pro-
ceed with the bonding proposition pro-
posed. This matter will be taken up
with North Dakota representatives at
Washington, with the national head
quarters Of the National Highway as
sociation and with the war depart
ment.
Favors Toll Proposition.
The Cleveland engineer is in favor
of making the bridge toll PROPOSE
ton BY so doing, he is of the opin-
ion that taxes on the bonds may be
reduced on each side of the river and
that the bridge may ultimately be
made 20 pay for itself. A suspension
bridge, with 11O0-foot span, is, he
contends, entirely feasible for the
Missouri. This would necessitate but
two piers, one at either side of the
stream, as compared with four re-
quired for the cantilever or simple
truss style of bridge. Suspension
bridges are now being built, says Mr..
Watson, which are sufficiently rigid
for any purpose, and in which the
sway is practically eliminated.
Mr.. Watson's estimates cover a
bridge with thirty-foot roadway, al.
lowing ten feet in the center for an
electric railway line; eight feet at
either side for wheeled vehicles, and
four-foot sidewalk for pedestrians.
The bridge floor would consist of
heavy, creosoted planks, and practi-
cally the only repair charges would
consist in the renewal of this plank
ing and in the painting of the iron
work at certain periods. Such a
bridge, properly cared for, will last
indefinitely, the engineer claims. The
theory that steel bridges are not per.
manent has been exploded, he asserts.
Piers at $4,000 Apiece.
The two piers required for suspen.
sion bridge carrying a 1100foot span
would cost not more than $4,000
apiece, Mr.. Watson estimates. Prac.
tically no approach-work would be re.
quired at the Bismarck end, and only
reasonable amount on the Mandan
side. Aside from the approaches, the
structure would cost, the Cleveland
man computes, from $250,0o0 to $270,.

President Wilson has seen the pub

CANNON NEAR DEATH
WHEN AUTOMOBILE SW|RLS

o. B. Cannon, son of W. E. Can
non, narrowly escaped death yester-
day, while on his way from Garrison
to Bismarck, when the car which he
was driving turned face and went
over a nearly perpendicular embank.
ment.
The accident happened three miles
north of Baldwin. The rain had left
the road in bad condition and, when
he put on the brakes to avoid col.
lision with a car ahead, his machine
turned and made for the embank-
ment.
It did not turn turtle, however,
standing instead straight up, its nose
buried in mud and water. Cannon
got out of the drivers seat easily and
in a few moments the car was hauled
back on the road.
