COUNTY TO OPEN
BIDS ON BRIDGE
DESPITE PROBE

County officials today were prepar
ing to testify before the investigation
of bridge building operations for the
last two years. The jury will be call.
ed Monday at Governor Goodrfch's re.
quest.
The county commissioners. who no
doubt will be asked to tell what they
know of all bridge contracts made
during the time specified, are marshal
ing their facts for the inquiry.
Tomorrow morning bids for the
Main street and South G street bridges
will be opened by the commissioners.
They are unwavering in their in
tention to let contract for the Main
street bridge, at least, In spite of the
governors proclamation calling for a
cessation of plans for public works.
The only contingency which will pre-
vent letting of contract Is failure of
any bidder to submit bid within the
appropriation.
The grand jury probe was called at
the governors request. The governor
acted at the behest of the state board
of accounts, which is understood to
have been investigating the bridge
situation in the county.

.Ex0NERATES MRS. BoDE

That an arrest is to be made as a
result of the recent despoilation of the
home of Fred Bode, 1929 South Fifth
street, was announced today by w. j.
Courtney, Dayton. private detective,
who was employed by Mr.. Bode to
assist the police in the investigation of
the case.
Courtney stated that he had filed
complaint with the federal authorities,
charging a violation of the postal laws.
The name of the person against whom
the charge was preferred has been
withheld until action is taken by the
federal officers.
Courtney intimated that he believed
there would be some sensational de-
velopments in the case following the
arrest
Proves Most Peculiar Case.
Never in my fifteen years exper-
fence as criminal investigator have

a mystifying case," Courtney said to-

OFFENSIVE
ON 100.M|LE
LINE BEGUN
IN MACEDONIA
Allied Drive Opens With
Roaring of Artillery Day
and Night as Preliminary
Move.
DEADLOCK CONTINUES
(By Associated Press)

Along the entire front In Macedonia,
from Monastir to Lake Doiran, q dis
tance Of about 100 mile. the allies have
opened q great offensive.
On every section of the line, General
Sarrail's artillery is roaring day and
night but the campaign Is In its initial
phase and there Is little to indicate as
yet where the attempt at an advance
will be made.
Bitter fighting is proceeding In the
bend Of the Cerna river and in the
neighborhood Of the Vardar, the two
points on the Macedonian front where
the wild barbarous country of mount
aims and sterile deserts is broken by
fertile valleys.
Military critics are agreed that 1t Il
up one of these valleys that the allies
forces must force q way but the opera
tions have not advanced far enough
to indicate which is the chosen point
Of attack.
Deadlock Remains Unbroken.
In France the deadlock continues but
behind the fighting line, the allies are
massing men and guns for another
tremendous blow such as that which
broke the Hindenburg line and loosen
ed the grip of the Germans on Cham
payne. General Baurice, chief director
Of British military operations, announc-
ed that the coming drive will be might
Ter in force and extent than those
which opened the battles of Arras and
the Somme and the indications are
that the blow will not be long delayed.
The comparative lull on the fighting
front IN France has once more directed
attention to the political situation
which appears to be rapidly reaching
crisis. or rather a series Of crises.
The news from Russia Is increasing
~ gloomy IN nature and 1t becomes
more and more question whether the
provisional government can weather
the storm which has been precipitated
by the radical socialists and vision
aires.
In any event, there seem little Mkli-
hood OF any effective military action
on the part Of Russia for a long time
to come. From Austria come renew
ed reports Of the government trying
to break the shackles imposed by Ber-
lin. An Austrian commission is re-
ported to be one its way to Switzer-
land with the object of opening nego-
tiations with France.
