widest possible appeal to all the peo-

man may be rich or poor"
Emphasizing the tremendous task
ahead of the nation, Mr.. McAdoo

raise between thirteen and fourteen

not be easy. he said. but 1t can be

Monongahela Will Build Sta
ton on North Side of
Bridge.
TO CLOSE newton ST.
But Railroad Will Cut New
Highway Where Sta-
ton Now Is.

Definite location for the east side
landing of the new Monongahela river
bridge was decided upon at the meet.
ing yesterday afternoon attended by
Designing Engineer William Muesseur,
Engineer E. II. Harder, the Board Of
Affairs and several local business men.
Although the Board OF Affairs has not
formally passed upon the location, 1t
Is understood that the location Is &C.
copied.
The East side landing will be at the
intersection Of Newton and Merchant
streets. The bridge will pass from
Washington street at Jefferson on The
West side over the Baltimore and Ohio
freight house, diagonally across the
Monongahcla river, over the old DR..
Sterling property on Water street, over
the present Pennsylvania railroad shed
to Merchant stree. at the corner OF
Newton street.
These plans were accepted after the
Monongahela railroad, represented by
Chief Engineer S. D. Brady. agreed to
ny d llOAl llS SOulh Shh
of Market street, under the present
railroad station to Water street. The
railroad company will open up this
new highway and put in a brick pave
ment at its own expense. Later the
railroad will build fine new station
on the north side of Newton street at
the corner of Market street.
The location of the bridge at the cor
ner OF Newton and Market streets
means that the lower end OF Newton
street will be closed to vehicular trat.
fic, compelling vehicles to go by the
way of the new street that the railroad
company will build. Newton street
from Market to Water street will be
open for pedestrians only.
At the meeting yesterday a straw
vote of the citizens was taken, result
ing in an almost unanimous choice OF
the location selected. Plans No. 4
which were the plans selected were
favored not only by the citizens but
by the engineers as we'll.
BY selecting the bridge that will
cross the river at an angle, the piers
for the new bridge will be in a straight
line with those of the old bridge, Civ.
ing ample water space on the east side
of the river which is the bank of the
river that is best adapted to naviga-
ton.
By landing the bridge at Newton
street a three per cent. grade can be
obtained while four per cent. grade
is the best that could be obtained at
any other point The grade was the
chief objection to the bridge landing
south Of Newton street.
The plans accepted will require a
slight curve in Jefferson street be.
tween Washington street and Cleve.
land avenue, cutting through the prop.
erty of the old Vance heirs on Cleve.
land avenue.
AS shown in the plans the bridge is
81 feet wide, with 20 foot driveway
and a seven foot sidewalk on each
side of the bridge.

Germans Will be Seriously
Handicapped by this
Situation.
MORE GERMAN SACRIFICE
Crown Princes Army Three
Times Hurled Against
French.

Efforts to break into new ground
won by the British in renewal of the
Flander offensive of Wednesday are
being continued by the Germans. Fail
ing to shake the British line else
where, they tried 1t out last night at
Zonnebeke where the British have
pushed far along the road to Rouers.
The British artillery machine and
rife fire was too much for them now
ever, and the attack was broken up.
Zonnebeke is an important point fol
the British and their previous efforts
to reach and maintain Il hold in it
have been desperately resisted by the
Germans. Their present positions In
the village places them within a half
dozen miles Of the important north
and south railroad line connecting
Lille with Ostend on the coast, the
cutting OF which or its domination at
even medium range, artillery lire,
would seriously handicap the Ger
mans in their Flanders operations.
In the Tower Hamlets and Polygon
woods region toward the British right
flank, the clearing up process which
followed Wednesdays battle was car
ried out further last night and the
Germans we're driven from isolated
positions to which strong parties oil
them were clinging.
There has been little other military
activity of nature to call for NELL
ton in the official statement except
in the Argonne region on the French
front. The Germans of the Crown
Princes forces made an attempt last
night to break into the French line
in this sector, attempting three times,
These assaults wer also all repulsed,
