MAYOR TO CAPITAL
 BEHALF ROAD FUND
Bloom Will Ask Delegation in As- sembly to Present Bill Giving
 City Half of Road Tax It Pays.
------.,.
 - s-Dr~s-waS =

Mayor Simon Bloom will go to Lit tie Rock today to present to the Jef- ferson county representatives in the general assembly the bill prepared by the city council for passage, whereby the city will get one-half Of the road taxes collected on property lying within the city, this money to be used by the city exclusively for work on streets, highways and bridges.
 Because other cities of the state have been getting one-nalf or more of such taxes, from the counties where in they are located, it is believed the legislature will pass the measure to be presented at the request of the city council. There is little doubt there will be some objection to the meas ure. but the belief is held that the general assembly will recognize that the city is entitled to the use of one half of the amount of road taxes it pays into the county treasury, for the benefit of it's own streets and high ways. The county will still have, for road purposes, all the Toad taxes col lected on property lying outside the dity iimits, and one-half the road taxes collected on property lyins within the city limits. and this money may all be expended on roads lying outside the city.
 It is admitted that the county judges have often aided in the way of appropriating cash to help pave streets in the city, but always this aid has been given to improvement districts, or for some exceptional wo4h such as big bridge in a principal street leading to main country road Under the proposed new arrange ment, all the streets of the city will get a chance at the benefits to accrue from the expenditure of the road tax money, by the city authorities.
 Mayor Bloom expects to return home tonight, although, if there ii opportunity for him to aid any move ment tending to the advancement O Pine Bluffs interests, he will remair at the capital cty until tomorrow.

GERMANS DISPLAY NO RESENTMENT
 AGAINST TANKS
Americans ill Berlin Treated With Consideration and
 Courtesy.

Berlin, Monday. Feb. }, Via London Feb. G.-Whatever may be their feel ing toward the United States, Ger mans in Berlin, and so far as has been heard outside the capital, have manifested consideration and cour' tesy toward Americans since the news Was received of the breaking off oi diplomatic relations.
 Aside from an occasional frank comment on the action of the Ameri- can government, no acts of a hostile or even an unfriendly nature ha 'e been reported thus far, and many Germans are. going out of their way to show a friendly disposition toward Americans marooned Eere.
 The only difficulty which has been reported thus far has neen at one ais, trict headauarters of police, which is charged with viseing passports to SC abroad. Officials of the Passport de partment refused to wise passports until the holders were able to show steamer tickets to America.
 On the other ha,&. the police in the main residential, district arc accept ing return to America" as an ade- quate reason for departure but arg insisting that the customary interval of fortnight for military investiga- tion of the application cannot be waived.
 Correspondents Are Aided.
 The foreign office, to which thl American newspaper correspondents in a way are accredited has show: every disposition to facilitate the dc parture of such correspondents as wish to leave with Ambassador Ger ard. The foreign office has expressed the desire to have as many American correspondents as possible remalI after the departure of the ambassa dor in order to maintain unofficial relations between the two peoples as long as war is avoided.
 The remark of a German woman tC an American woman, a stranger t( her who happened to be standing ir the same food line this morning-"W want to show that we are not barbari an" "-apparently is the keynote witt a vast majority of the Germans.

New York, Feb. G.--The American line announced tonight that the steam ship St. Louis, detained here since Saturday because of the international situation, will not sail for Liverpool
 "before noon Thursday Officials Of the company asserted they will a"a'e word from the state department @t Washington.
 Apprehension caused by the sailing from Liverpool on January 3l Of the
 Kroonland, and on February of the New York, nov said to be the only American passenger ships at sea- was lessened today when it was learn3d that both are clear of the European war zone.
 While anxiety felt by American ship owners, pending more definite 1 turn of affairs, resulted in the Stand ard Oil company ordering all it's salos engaged in transatlantic service held
 in port, British owners apparently are
 not worried. The White Star line
 Cedric, with 1O2 passengers, six of
 them Americans. sailed for Mediter-
 ranean ports today on schedule time. i She carried large cargo. and on her
 stern was mounted a three-inch gun.
 The only change announced by any foreign company as result ot the
 resumption of Germany's unrestrlct-
 cd submarine warfare was tho decla- ration of the Cunard line today to discontinue the practice of making public lists of persons engaging pas
 sage on it's vessel. No explanation
 of the decision was forthcoming.

If severe pressure is exerted on the
right flank, therefore, the German
commanders are expected here to seek
relief by an assault or a series of as
saults elsewhere along the line The
only answer to such tactics would be
to ignore enemy successes of this ma
ture and keep pressing home with
every available man or ship the drive
at the right flank.

BIC DRIVE AIMED
At VITAL POINT
IN GERMAN LINE

WASHINGTON, D. c., August s.
The British-French assault on the Ger
man right flank has made a profound
| impression here because in he
judgment of many American army Off
GERS it is directed atsthe most vulner-
able point on the entire German front.
Complete success for the Allies,
, sweeping the German line back from
the sea and along the entire Belgian
coast, would be an immediate answer
to the u-boat warfare. The main
North Sea- bases for u-boat operations
would be stamped out. Behind that
achievement then would stand the pos
isibility that the entire German line in
France would be endangered by a
flank attack.
Reports from London or the front
are still too meagre to disclose the
full scope of the new operations OBJ
servers here, however, are inclined to
believe that unless the drive is sup
plemented by naval cooperation with
landing behind the present German
front, complete success is not to be
expected.
The discussion here brought out
strongly the fact that many American
officers who have studied the situa-
ton believe the German right flank of
fers the only real opportunity to
bring the struggle to a decisive issue
in a single campaign.
Frontal Attack Deadly Business.
Short of that they can foresee only
continuing repetition of the deadly
business of frontal attack, which in
, time would wear down the German
resistance since the Allied Powers have
the greater resources in men and sup
plies. How long the wearing down
trocess would require, no official Is
willing to suggest. however, and it is
pointed out that if u-boat activity Is
not sharply checked, time will work
strongly against the Allies.
Recent German operations have pro-
duced the impression among some OBJ
servers that the assault upon the right
flank has been expected by the Ger
man general staff. The surprise at
tack some time ago upon a small sec
tor of the British front, which swept
the Allies back beyond the User canal,
materially strengthened that sector
for the Germans.
In renewed German assaults upon
the Verdun front observers have read
also an attempt to prevent an Allied
concentration upon the right flank In
diplomatic quarters, however, the Yer
dun attacks are coupled also with the
! German advance in Galicia to furnish
the stage setting for the renewal oil
peace suggestions.
/ Germans Fear Dutch.
The possibilities of the new often
sive has produced the suggestion that
if the Allied front could be extended
to the Dutch frontier. the Netherlands
government might join the Allies. Re-
ceat reports from neutral sources have
indicated that the Germans feared
some such action by their little neigh
Dor In that connection it has been
noted that numerous small German
steamers lying in Dutch waters since
the outbreak of the war have been
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-08-03

captured or destroyed recently While
attempting to return to Germany, and
that several divisions of Germans
troops have been reported massed
along the Dutch frontier.
Some officers strongly believe that
great part of the German success
heretofore has been due to the fact that
the Allies have been forced to accept
the type Of warfare which the German
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-08-03

with the Allies greater forces and
more powerful artillery, they now
could be certain of fairly quick success
if trench fighting could be abandoned
for the shift and strategy of field oper-
atoms. The Germans also know this,
these officers say, and have no inten-
ton, if they can help it, of permitting
any change in the battle scheme they
have forced upon their enemies.

high command elected. When the Ger
mans early in the war fell back to

Allies followed suit and the opportuni-
ty for field operations was quickly
lost. The game was mapped out as
the German staff wished it to be
played
Allies Could Win in Open.
There are of5cers who believe that
