k-Premier Says Spain Must
Favor One Side in War

Paris-Spain must decide in favor of
one or the other Of the groups of bel
ligerents, in the opinion Of Antonio
Maura, ex-premier and leader of the
Conservative party, according to news
in dispatches from Madrid quoting an
address delivered by Senior Maura.
The address was delivered at Beran-
ga, near Bilboa, at meeting attended
by 5000 Mauraistas. The ex-premier
declared, according to dispatches, that
Spain could not abandon her neutrality
but, that the conditions of the war
made her isolation henceforth impos-
sible. He is quoted as saying that it
was, moreover, essential that France
and England should not be hostile
towards Spain.
The Madrid dispatches predict that
Senior Maura's speech will cause a
strong impression throughout the
country, as his prestige was never SO
high as at present. The majority of
his followers are supposed to be pro-
German in their sympathies.

JAPAN SAYS SOVEREIGNTY OF CHINA
NOT IAfRIAGfD BY NEW DEMANDS

Washington, d. G. - Ambassador
Guthrie. at Toxic, cabled the State de-
partment Wednesday that the Japanese
foreign minister had informed him
there was nothing in Japan's demands
upon China in connection with the
Cheng Chiatun incident that infringed
the sovereignty of China or impaired
the Root-Takahira agreement.
In making public the report, the de-
partment revealed the fact that the
ambassador had been instructed to ad-
wise the foreign office that the report
of the demands published in this coun-
try chad greatly disturbed the Amer
lean government, which trusted that
it was not true.
1t is not the mere terms of the Jap
anese demands, however, which have
been well established throughout, SO
much as their real purpose, that has
caused anxiety here. If the recrudes-
cence Of Mongolian banditry in connec-
tion with monarchist revolution has,
as claimed, produced a condition of
outlawry, where Japanese lives are en-
officials are said to be will
ing to admit that Japan is as much
justified in having troops in those Sec
tions as the United States is in having
troops in Mexico.
If, on the other hand, it develops
that Japan is magnifying small local
disturbance into an international COM
plication to exact political concessions,
the United States is expected to OBJ
iect, holding that the integrity of
China is being invaded.

Allies Take Two Miles Of Trenches
From Bulgars;; Serbs Drive Foe Back

London-General Sarrail extended
his attack on the Macedonian front
Wednesday. While the British forces
continued the battle for the East bank
of the Struma, the French assailed the
Teuton line along the Vardar valley,
where the main allied thrust is
planned.
North Of Majadag, in the Lake Doir-
an region, the allied forces engaged
the Bulgars in a 36-hour battle and
finally gained the upper : hand.
Trenches on front of two miles and
extending to depth of 800 yards were
wrested from Gear Ferdinand's troops.
The British, meanwhile. pushing
further eastward into Macedonia, won
a stornger hold on the East bank of
the Struma and captured two more vii
lagos. In this attack the French
troops co-operated and the Struma line
now is firmly in the hands Of the allied
foces.
One of the first results of this push
eastward has been a menace to the
Bulgars, who drove toward the Aegean
coast. The positions the invader holds
must be abandoned without delay if
the British progress continues.
All the forts at the Greek port of
Kavala already have been evacuated.
This retreat was due in part to the
British threat to the Bulgar flank and
in part to the heavy battle of the al
lied warships.
Although their fighting on the ex-
IRENE west end of the line is attract
ing little attention, the Serbian troops
merit careful watching. The rejuve-
mated army is fighting with all the
skill and valor which won them ap-
olause in the early days of the war.
They are driving back the Bulgars
steadily, while the Italians are giving
hem valuable support.

Grain is Not Damaged.

Albany = That despite the recent
rains, grain in this county is not badly
damaged is the opinion of farmers.
The rains have colored the oats but the
general opinion is that no material in
jury has been caused thus far. The
rain, however, has delayed threshing
operations and much clear weather is
needed to enable the harvesting of the
grain not yet threshed. 1t is estimat-
ed that only about half of the grain
has been threshed.

The Baxter ball team was de-

was full of errors and the usual

the improvement and mainten'
auce of the roads of the country
That statement in itself is Of
absorbing interest to every cit

But a question of still more vi
tai interest to US locally and per-
sonally is, How much do we
get?"
The people of Our community
of course can decide what we our
selves are to expend in good
roads, but when it comes to the
expenditure by the federal and
state governments we are much
of the opinion that the early
bird gets the biggest worm.
In other and palmer words, the
federal government allots a GER
tain amount of money to each
state for improving the roads.
Then comes the question of where
and how that money is to be
spent.
We do not know just what pol
icy will be pursued in this state,
but we do know that it will be
clearly to our interest to get out
in force and hustle for a good
slice of this amount for road i'm
