While optimism seems to prevail in
the provisional government in Russia
that a successful issue of the counter

remains most acute. All dispatches
from Petrograd at present are ema-

Late reports from Petrograd indi-

has been checked and that his retreat
has been cut off; also that there have
been further desertions from the

a BIG KANSAS ROAD PROJECT
Reno County Plans to Build 1874 Miles
of Hard-sarfaced Hishways-
To Issue Bonds

Reno county has started the big
gest good roads movement ever at
tempted in Kansas.
At meeting in Hutchinson begin
ming at noon and continuing almost all
the afternoon, plans we're formulated
and petitions prepared for constructs
ing 154 miles of hard surface roads, a
complete county system.
The estimated cost of the entire
system is million dollars, and the
plan is to issue 20-year bonds for the
amount. The plan contemplates a
road connecting every city and town
in the county. 1t provides a road to
Arlington and Pretty Prairie and HUI
ron in the south and southwest parts
of the county, and line to Haven in
the southeast, one to Butler in the
northwest, and one to Nickerson in
the northeast part of the county
The roads are to be of monolithic
brick, laid in foundation of concrete,
the roadways to be sixteen feet wide
The plans have been approved by
the state highway commissioner and
by the federal highway department.
That part of the road covering the
new Santa Fe Trail is to be built un-
der the supervision of the federal gov
eminent and it was decided to ask for
federal supervision of every mile of
the system.
The movement started with the farm
.ers of Reno county, and at the meet
ing, which was composed largely of
farmers representing every section of
the county, there was not a vote
against the plan. The business men
of Hutchinson also took part in the
conference. 1t was not a general meet
ing. 1t was business gathering call
ed for the purpose of beginning the
actual work preparatory to calling an
election for adopting the new system.
The plan has been discussed by the
farmers all over the county.
The entire county has been orga-
nized into one big benefit district, in
Guiding the city of Hutchinson and all
the towns. The new Kansas road law
will be applied and the county will
pay SO per cent of the cost, the town.

From the Belgian coast well down
into Flanders violent artillery duels
continue, but with Field Marshal
Haig's guns apparently doing the ma

the usual trench raiding operations
the infantry is still keeping to the
trenches.
Thirty-two miles northeast of Riga,
near Segevo1d, a Russian death bat
talon has defeated the Germans and
forced them to retreat to the south,
while along the Burtnetsk line to the
Pskoff railroad the Russian rear
guards are given strong battle to the

Around Monte san tGrdDlele, Gen-

Again the French and the Germans
are engaged in extremely heavy fight

German engineers have bridged the

There has been no infantry activity
on large scale on the western front.
Around Lens the Canadians have been

German cavalry have been engaged
with Russian rear guards at Zegevold,
forty miles east of Riga, but apparent
1y the German advance in force has
slackened. Around Friedrichstadt,
about fifty miles southeast of Riga, on
the Dvina river, the retiring Russians
have set fire to several villages.

X. U. STUDENTS WILL DRILL
Board of Administration Expects to
Attract Many Boys by Course
in Military Training.

The special work along military
lines offered to students of Kansas
University this year is expected to at
tract many boys and at the same time
prepare for later military service.
Military training will be compulsory
for freshmen and sophomores and may
be substituted for gymnasium work.
The drill will be open to upper-class
men. A start in the drill organization
was made during the spring semester
but SO many of those who took part
at this time have enlisted or become
officers during the summer that there
will be few veterans when. school
opens.
In charge of the military work will
be E. M. Briggs, who, while on leave
of absence from the university last
year, specialized in military work at
Harvard. Mr.. Briggs formerly was
university marshal. There is a posi-
bility that French army officer will
be available to drill university stu
dents part of the year
Among the special military courses
for credit will be a five-hour course
in aviation. The principles of flying
will be taught by engineering profess
sors. Special work in wireless tele-
graphy also will be added to the en-
cheering curriculum.
OF the attendance at the university
last year, 1929 were boys. Of this
number so per cent are now actively
in military service or are working on
farms. OF total of 1913 faculty men,
twenty already have received commits

FROST IN ALASKA.
interesting Facts Disclosed by GeoIo.
uical Survey

Commenting upon the wide distrib-
ution of ground frost in Alaska, AL
fred H. Brooks, in charge of Athe
Alaska division Of the United States
geological survey, says:
In numerous excavations made in
mining operations, it has been found
that the alluvium is frozen down to
hard rock. In the Klondike the allu-
vium is frozen to "a depth of about
200 feet. At Fairbanks, permanent
ground frost has ben found at @nany
places to a depth of more than 200
feet, and the deepest shaft sunk there
penetrated 31S feet of frozen alluvium.
In Seward peninsula many holes in
permanently frozen alluvium are more
than rs feet deep ana one is nearly
200 feet deep
Some ground in the province Is not
frozen, for causes not determined.
Underground channels of water have
been encountered in some mine work
ings and have played havoc with the
operations, but these appear to be ex-
ceptional. When the moss is stripped,
the ground thaws, and with opencut
mining or cultivation the upper level
of permanent ground frost seems
gradually to descend. 1t appears
that this ground frost is sur
vival of a climate colder than the
present and is preserved by the non
mat of moss and other
vegetation. 1t is natural to attri-
butte 1t to the climatic conditions that
brought about the last glacial advance
in Alaska, during which but little of
the central region was ice-covered,
though glaciers advanced into 1t from
the higher mountains on the north and
south.
