MONTEREY. VA, DECEMBER 5, 1916

Recently we called attention to
the situation relative to securing
government aid for the s. Il P.
turnpike, setting forth the import
ance of immediate action in the
matter, based upon the opinion
and assurances of a Virginia High
way official.
Wonder how many citizens have
felt called upon to Writeto our rep
resentatives or take any steps that
might aid in this matter that means
o much to Highland? Are you
a good roads man? Of course you
are, but what kind? If every good
roads man was the sort that you
are, when would we get good roads?
Are you just sitting like bump on
a log while other sections, and q
few men of your own section, are
working? An old gentlemen living
just west of town REMARKED the
other day, "Had this little stretch
of good road been made 80 years
ago, it would have saved me many
jolts' and it could have been, just
as readily as now"
Eventually, why not now" is
a slogan or watchword adopted by
the makers of a certain brand OF
-four, and it is familiar to all of US.
1t carries this inference; This is
the best; the American people de-
serve and will not be satisfied with
anything but the best; they will
demand and have it sooner or later,
why not now?
1t is true of the road question.
The S. & P. pike is a great artery
of trade, the principal outlet for
a vast mountain section, an ideal
route for tourists. Every man
with an ounce of gumption knows
that it will eventually be so recog-
nized-improved, rebuilt and be-
come popular interstate highway:
Why not start little lump OF
Ieven to working right here and
now? Will you do your part?

kidney medicine but it didn't help me.
I heard of DIR. Pierce's Anuric Tablets

NoTE: This uAnuric" is adapted
especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-
gestion of the kidneys, inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine and
urinary troubles. The physicians and
specialists at DR.. Pierce's great Institu-
ton, at Buffalo, N. Y, have thoroughly
tested this prescription and have been
with one accord successful in eradicat-
ing these troubles, and in most cases
absolutely curing the diseased kidneys.
Patient having once used "Anuric "
at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, have res
peatedly sent back for more. Such
demand has been created that DR., Pierce
has decided to put "Anuric" in the drug
stores of this country, in a ready-to-use
form. If not obtainable send one dime
by mail to DR.. Pierce for trial package
or so cents for full treatment.

Watson, a conductor, both strikers,
were arrested early this morning at

with throwing bricks and stones at a
Penbrook car. Two windows in the
car were broken. In default of $500
bail each, the men went to Jail until
this afternoon when they were given
a hearing by Alderman Deshong at the

The men were arrested by Sheriff
William Caldwell, James Kautz a de-
putty sheriff; and Constable William
Windsor, III. Of the Third ward, who
had been trailing the car in an auto
mobile. superintendent of Detectives
William Windsor was also in the vicin-

gathered in the vicinity of State and
Cameron streets was waiting on the
last car from Penbrook Sheriff Cald-

Penbrook Holds Big
Mass Meeting in the
Interest of Strikers

Hundreds of people of Penbrook
and the neighborhood round about,
helped crowd the town square last
evening at the mass meeting held in
the interests of the trolleymen's strike.
And Penbrook's police force of one
cop hadn't the slightest trouble in
handling the crowds.
Hugh L. Mclaughlin presided at
the session and among the speakers
who told the story of the strikers were
John j. Thorpe, Vice-president of the
Amalgamated Electric and Street Rail-
way Empliyes, ]. e. Roach and
the American Federation of Labor
and Charles F. Quinn, secretary of the
State Federation of Labor.
Railroad men yesterday voiced their
sentiments relative to the jitney
problem and at a meeting last evening
Lodge No 3S3, Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, adopted resolutions
asking the mayor not to crowd the
jitneys from the streets. The resolu-
tions in part follow:
Resolved, That we, the members
of Harrisburg lodge, No. 3S3, Broth
ertood of Railway Trainmen, re-
quest the honorable mayor of Harris
burg to do nothing that will compel
the jitneys operating in the city now
to be removed; also that you use
every means in your power to per-
suade the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany to recede from their stand and
bring about a settlement of the dis
pute, so that it can be known that
industrial problems arising in Har-
risburg can be settled without mall
ice, enmity or disturbance to the
public peace"

Initiative at Verdun Is
Passing to French; Enemy
Appears Less Capable

Paris, Aug. 4. - Verdun is again in
the center of the war stage. The re-
capture by the French of the village
of Fleury which had been held by the
Germans for more than a month, has
caused great elation in France. 1t is
the first fruit of the French slow and
methodical offensive began three days
ago and seems, in the opinion OF
French military observers, to mark
an epoch in the six months battle for
the great fortress on the Meuse.
The Germans appear to be less and
less capable of operating on their old
overwhelming scale and the initiative
military men here think, is about to
pass to the French for good.
While the German artillery contin-
ues to be as powerful and as we'll sup
piled as ever the Germans no longer
are able to gather the masses of troops
necessary to reap the benefit e artill-
cry preparation.
1t is twenty days since the Germans
made their last big attack on the right
bank of the Meuse by which they OBJ
tanned small results at heavy cost

1000 Sign Petition Asking
Continuance of Jitneys

When Mayor E. S. Meals reaches his
office tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
he will find a committee of striking
street car men awaiting him. They
will present a petition signed by about
1000 persons, requesting that Mayor
Meals use every effort possible with
the Harrisburg Railways Company to
settle the strike, and failing to do so,
they request that he allow the jitneys
to continue in service indefinitely.
The strikers had planned to present
this mammoth petition to-day but
Mayor Meals went to Gettysburg this
morning and will not return until late
this afternoon. Petitions have been in
circulation for the past three days
This morning all the names were past
ed together, making one big petition,
10 feet in length. When rolled up this
petition weighs 80 ounces. 1t is un-
derstood that additional names will be
added before the request is handed to
the Mayor.

new men have been employed by the
company as beginners" and these
men are receiving instructions right
along from older trolleymen. Scores of
the strike breakers have been sent
back to New York, Chicago and
Brooklyn, according to President Mus
ser to-day and there are to-day less
than two dozen at the barns.
President Musser denied emphat-
ically to-day that the company was
paying folks to ride on the cars or was
distributing tickets to travellers on the
suburban lines in order to give the
appearance of increasing patronage.
IF people are travelling on tickets,
the passengers may be employees of
business firms or houses which distri-
butte tickets to the clerks for conve-
nience sake. But so far as the COM
pany's end of this is concerned, there
is absolutely nothing to it." declared
the traction head.
Some curious stories of attacks on
cars were recounted to-day.
One dealt with the way some young
men or boys, strike sympathizers pre-
sumably, had grabbed a Vine street
trolleyman, thrown a rope around his
neck and hustled him to the river
bank. After frightening him rather
badly the crowd released him. Anoth-
er story was of a motorman who was
struck on the head with a brick and
had to have his injury treated at the
Harrisburg hospital.
Vice-President ]. J. Thorpe to-day
called at police headquarters with a
gigantic petition to Mayor z. S. Meals
requesting the city's chief executive
magistrate not to interfere with the
jitney oprations The Mayor is out
of town SO that the paper cannot be
submitted until tomorrow. The
prayer weighed 80 ounces and meas
ured 120 feet in length.

ent offensive. had been creeping for
ward by the Vignes ravine, west Of
Froide Terre, with the object of get
ting near Thiaumont work by work
ing around hill No. 365.
Attack From All Sides
The bombers first reached the Bras
Fiery road. They then separated in
two parts, one going to the eastward
toward Thiaumont work and the Sec
ond pushing northward toward Vach-
Granville and Pepper Hill.
Last week the first part stormed a
redoubt west of Thiaumont and after a
stiff fight went beyond that position.
The second party reached the little
wood of Vacherauville.
The whole section from Vacherau-
Vile to the approaches of Souville thus
were in the hands of the French and
the higher command judged the time
ripe to attack from all sides at once.
Attacked from the northwest and
the southeast the Germans in Fleury
offered desperate resistance but the
French bayonets finally prevailed
Some Germans managed to escape to
the VauX-le- e-Chapitre wood, but a
majority was taken prisoner.
The sum up, the French in their
last three days offensive regained all
the ground that the Germans had TAX
en- several weeks to conquer.
They took all the position for a
depth of about a mile from the slopes
of Souville fort to the approaches of
hill No. 500, as we'll as in the woods
east of Vacherauville and in the
Vignes ravine which borders to the
west of Froide Terre hill. The French
also installed themselves in positions
southwest, south and southeast of the
famous Thiaumont woods.

hawk a large, sluggish. slow-fying
species, and the long-tailed, white
rumped marsh hawk are most effic-

eaten also by the ferruginous rough

Even the little sparrow hawk attacks
the 13-striped ground squirrel and the
rough legged hawk is sometimes
known as the squirrel hawk because of
the numbers of this pest which it de-

The barn owl and the great horned
