$4,000 Germans Slain by Ma

PARIS, March 30.-Nearly an en-
tire division was wiped out by French
machine guns and "seventy-fives",
when the Germans attacked the posi-
tions northwest of Verdun yesterday.
The German losses were placed at
1900 men.
The fighting around Avocourt forest
and the village of Malancourt is de
scribed in dispatches from the front
as extremely bloody"
From three TO seven waves of Ger
man infantry surged toward the
French trenches. At least 10000 men
were in the attacking forces. These
were mostly drawn from the Bavarian
corps and the Fifteenth Reserve army
corps.
The Germans did not get a chance
to engage the French in hand-to-hand
fighting as the ranks were swept away
by the terrific fire from the French
machine guns and French batteries of
artillery before they reached the
trenches.
Before the infantry assaults were
begun the French positions were vio-
lently shelled by the Germans over a
five mile front. but the foot soldiers
attacked along front only one thous-
and yards wide. The object of the at
tack was to capture the villages OF
Malancourt and Houcourt in order to
straighten out the German line on
the left side of the Meuse

macadam streets with bituminous
binder will be constructed in Rich

Seventeen property owners on
South West Third street, between Ma

petitioned for macadam street with
bituminous binder, the cost of the
binder to be paid by the property
owners, and cement curbs and cutters.
THAT petition sounds good to me"
said President Bavis.
However, Mayor Robbins suggested
that the city has no legal right to
assess the cost of a macadam street
binder against benefited property
owners.
"City Attorney Bond gave the board
an opinion that the city would have
such a right, providing the street was
constructed at the cost of the city

Since that time the city attorney
has informed me that he doubts
whether this opinion would stand d
legal test" replied the mayor. I'm the
petition before us all the property
owners on the street have not signed.
Suppose the city had no authority to
assess property owners for the cost of
the binder. In such an event those
property owners who did not sign the
petition could refuse to pay their
share of the assessment"
IF you can't put down a macadam
street with binder, then give us a
macadam street without a binder. We
have to have some kind of a street"
remarked one of the petitioners. He
was informed that the city absolutely
refuses to put down any more un-
bound macadam streets because they
will not stand up under traffic.

TOLD IN RATlIFF'S
BOOK OF HISTORY

Stories of early life in Wayne coun-

by Walter Ratliff in the public schools
of the city and county have been a
source of unusual interest TO the chill
dren this spring. Mr.. Ratliff's arrival
at school is signal for instant de-
mands for story about Indian life.
Incidents which Mr.. Ratliff has been
telling are taken from his book, 'Bi-

alton of which has required more than
twenty years of observation and study.
In it he recalls the burial of an Indian
chieftan, Climbing Bear, in Wayne
county, and many other interesting
events. Copies of the book have al

That Francisco Villa had doubled"
on his trail is indicated by a report
from Gen. Pershing that Nillista forces
were seen yesterday about fifty miles
south OF Casas Grandes. Gen Funston

airy detachment which raced with
Villa TO cut off his flight southwark
had been successful and that they had
once more turned him toward the
north.
If Villas effort TO escape to his
mountain refuge had been baked, the
army officers at Fort Sam Houston
believe his capture or death is cer-
tain. Little credence is given to the
statement at Ell Paso of Villas former
aviator. Fred w. Derez. that the ban
bit leader was wounded at Columbus
and has since been hiding near the
border.
