Members of the special track eleva-
ton committee of the city council held
their second meeting on Sunday after
noon and made a trip to the north
side to consider proposed plans for the
vacation of stub ends of streets and the
opening of new street along the west
side of the tracks of the Northwestern
railway. The committee seemed to be
unit in favor of the opening of the
new street whether the plan for track
elevation is carried out or not. The
proposition of the railroad commission
was to open north and south street
about l20 feet to the west of the tracks
to connect Bronson and Lemon streets
north of the river. The members of
the committee believe that this street
should extend from Victoria street at
Middle street on the south to the Bur-
hngton road on the north. Such street
is greatly needed as it would open a
real street to the north limits of the
city to the west of the tracks. The
members of the committee admit that
the opening of such street will be ex-
pensive to the city. It will require the
building of one bridge but it is thought
that this could be put in at an expense
not to exceed three thousand dollars.
Many pieces of property would be bene-
fitted by the opening of the street pro-
posed by the committee and it is
thought that the property owners would
be willing to meet the city at least half
way in paying the expense of the street
opening.
81 believe that the city should make
immediate plans for the opening of this
street whether the tracks are elevated
or not" said Mayor Pfennig this
morning. "This street would be of
great benefit to lot of people and to
the people of the city in general. 1t
would make possible putting on the
market a lot of land which is now mac
cessible and it would give the city a
new north and south outlet along the
lines of the railway track. The cost of it
would not be great In comparison with
the benefits which would be accorded
to the city as whole and to the
owners of property along the proposed
highway
The report of the committee on eleva-
ton is going to be ready for the council
on next Monday evening. It is prob
able that the committee will hold .ev-
eral meetings during the present week
and it is possible that trip will be
made to some of the smaller cities south
of Kenosha where the tracks have been
elevated by the Northwestern company.
Even if the members of the committee
are favorable to the elevation plan it is
known that several have expressed
themselves to this effect, it is probable
that they will recommend that the city
file a formal appeal from the order of
the commission in order that the ques-
tion may be submitted to referendum
vote. The council members believe
that if the people decide on the elevation
plan that it would be much better for
all concerned.

It may seem a little inconsistent for
the city council to appeal from an ele-
walton order issued at its own sugges-
ton, but at that, the property owners
should have a chance to have their
"say" even though the majority Of
the council does not agree with their
complaints. It's the square deal that
we are looking for and expect.

Sunday Resume.
In the face of the continued violent
attacks by the Teutonic allies in

Black sea, the Ruman.ans and their
Russian allies are still falling back.
The towns of Toprai Sari, fourteen
miles southwest of Constanza; and
Cobadin, seventeen miles southeast Of
the Danube town Of Rachova, have
been taken by the combined Austrian,
German, Bulgarian and Turkish forces
who are declared by Berlin to be in

does not concede this. asserting that
counter attacks by the Teutonic allies
here were repulsed at the point Of the
bayonet. It is evident from the off,
cial statements that no great changes
in position have taken place anywhere
along this front but that the Rumani-
ans are fighting tenaciously to hold
back the would be invaders of their
country.

range these affairs said: This is NOV
ing day for the Germans in Regina
trench
The Regina is a long trench of nearly
three mtles-about the same length as
the battle front at Gettysburg.
Shortly after noon when there had
been the usual amount of shell fire
all morning and nothing anywhere on
the landscape that anything unusual
was going to happen, number one
curtain fire was suddenly turned on
with the same effect on the ear as
when all the whistles of New York
start when the clock strikes twelve on
New Years eve. The usual billowy
cloud of shell smoke, vigorously ex-
tensive in the cold air, churned and
whipped the length of Regina trench
with the customary accuracy of these
swathes of death and tempest and then
the British infantrymen were in full
possession of the trench. Some Ger
mans bolted from the first ugly breath
Of that barrage, knowing from expert
ence that the only thing to do was to
move on to another position and force
the gunners to prepare another deluge
for the next step Of the entente allied
offensive. Six hundred left alive were
taken prisoner.
The gunners are smiling at the stars
tonight Saturday which promise an
other fair day tomorrow The cold
weather has transformed the army into
a winter chrysalis. The battalions are
marching up to the trenches all wear
ing their overcoats. The call is for
more chocolate and more slices Of ba-
son sizzling in pans in the dugouts.
The gunners who were stripped for
their work in August, now warm their
hands on the heated gun barrels. At
night on the field where fires are per-
mitted the men gather around the blaze
Of any wood they can gather. Those

British Front in France, Oct. 21, via
London, Oct. 23.-With the return Of
fighting weather the British resumed
the offensive on a larger scale on
Saturday afternoon and turned on
enough gunfire and sent in enough
troops to make sure Regina trench was
theirs. 1t was the most important at
tack for three weeks.
All this month Regina trench has
been developing a sinister reputation.

Portable dugouts, the Germans like to
retain, in order to prevent the active
battlefront from broadening and for
another reason, which a British soldier
expressed when he said: with winter
coming on we feel the need Of those
deep snug dugouts the Germans spent
SO much time in building"
Parties Of the British got possession
of portions of Regina trench on sew
eral occasions but the Germans
swarmed in front of their burrows and
repulsed the invaders. Evidently, Re-
gina trench was not to be taken by
nibbling and required one big bite. In
such cases there is nothing to do but
wait till clear weather when the gun
ners can see what they are doing and
turn on a number one artillery curtain
