Drive on Turks Steady
Peckings at German Lines
Bring Additional Success.
OPEN UP In MACEDONIA
German Invaders Have Re-
sumed Activities In
Rumania.

The British troops fighting in
France continue their pecking at the
German lines at various points and
according to the latest British COM
munication have met with additional
success. The greatest gain was east
of Souchez, northeast of Arras where
an advance of several hundred yards
placed them in German positions
which were badly damaged by the in
vaders, who in addition killed num-
Der of Germans and took AZ prison
erS.
Similar raids were made near Neu-
ville-St. Vast, Loos and Ypres, in the
Ancre region near Serre and Pys, the
Germans were unsuccessful in at
lacks on the newly captured positions
of the British. On the remainder of
the front bombardments have pre-
vailed.
With the return to better weather
conditions the activities of the armies
on the Macedonia front have increas-
ed. The fighting, however, is being
done mainly by surprise detachments
and the artillery wings of the bellig-
erents.
In the CeHa bend Berlin reports
the capture by Teutonic allies of a
hill position east of Paralovo and sew
eral camps behind that front while
Paris records the repulse by the Itali-
ans of several surprise attacks at
tempted by the Germans in the Cerna
and Lake Presba. In this region the
bombardment has grown particular
iy violent.
In the Irak theater the British have
continued their drive against the
Turks until now they have the town
of Kut-el-Amara completely hemmed
in. The Turkish war Office admits
the gain of ground by the British on
the Turkish left wing in this region,
but says the success obtained was in
significant in comparison with the
losses sustained.
While the invaders still remain very
inactive along the southern front OF
the Rumanian theater their army on
the west Moldava front has again been
operating and has captured strong
point of support from the Rumanians
south of the Vale Putna road. Prison
e-s to the number OF 1853 were taken
together with much war material.

COMMITTEE
| OF CITIZENS
WAITS Upon Road Commits
sioners and Offers to
g Cooperate.
CONTRACTS LET WRONG
In the Opinion Of the Com
mittee From the
H. B. M. A.

The meeting of the Road Commits
sioners Tuesday afternoon was again
an open session and turned out to be
a lively meeting.
A committee named by the H. B.
M. A. appeared to discuss the state
ment made by Road Commissioner
Rodman Wiley that the money so far
expended on contracts had been I'M
wisely expended. The committee
was composed of President L. H.
Davis, j. T. Wall, T. j. Baugh, j. j.
Metcalfe, Ode Davis, Sam Frankel
and c. r. Clark.
Mr. Clark made the principal speech
and his talk was a strong protest
against further waste of money I'M
der what is called the unit system. "
Under this system the contractors are
simply hired men who are paid so
much per yard for excavation and for
stone as the work progresses. Under
this system the estimate of the Gov
eminent Engineer j. A. Whitaker,
Of 81, 200 per mile for rebuilding old
roads is being exceeded in every in.
stance, Mr.. Clark said, and he was
informed that "a, 600 mile was to be
spent on some pixies already bull
and in the end the pike would not be
a permanent road, according to Mr.
Wiley's opinion.
The Commissioners acknowledge
that they have been misled by the
engineers. The statement has been
made that one of the men sent here
as an engineer was barber and an
other an undertaken.
County Engineer Folsom said the
''unit system" was the proper way to
build roads, but Mr.. Clark took issue
with him and said the contracts
should be let by the mile and not a
cent paid until the work was COM
pleted under the direct supervision
of competent engineer and accepted
by the Commission after inspection.
The other committeeman backed up
their spokesman and they asked that
a report be made public of the exper-
ditures so far made from the $400,0 CO
bond fund, showing what had been
paid for overhead expenses during
the winter, what on road building and
what on such incidental repairs as
cleaning out bitches at so much per
yard.
The discussion was very animated
and the Commissioners seemed to APP
preciate the interest shown. Things
are in fair way to disclose where
the real trouble hes and the meeting
next Tuesday is expected be largely
attended and citizens will probably
be on hand TO cooperate with the
Commissioners in stopping what Mr.
Wiley said was "a waste of money"
