WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Oct. 6.-Field Marshal Haig's
most successful blow against the Ger

many's newest defensive scheme-and
against the plan Of warfare on which
the Teutonic high command has pinned
all its hopes.
The outstanding fact Of the victory,
as its fruits We're computed today, was
that the German pill box defence
scheme is Just as vulnerable as the old

PUSHING STREET WORK

The Carey-Reed Company has
quite number Of men at work on
the streets to be improved this year
and are rushing the work as rapid
ly as possible. In addition to the
several teams now used the company
has sent up from Lexington large
auto truck to use in hauling sand,
cement, rock, etc, which will facili-
tate the work greatly. The large
concrete mixer will be started We'd
nesday morning on Sycamore street.
The company has been greatly

get supplies. Mr.. F. p. Soloman,
who is in charge of the work, says
that every effort will be made to

roo MANY LoAFERs

A census of the saloons Of Lex
ington was taken Monday by the
Herald of that city and it was
found that 557 men were idling in
the barrooms in the middle of the
afternoon and 1874 contributing to
their idleness, by selling them the
liquor that increases their desire
for wanton waste of time and ener-
gy. There were los saloons visited.
With the farmers Of the country
needing help and willing to pay
good wages it looks like some steps
should be taken to make these loaf
ers get busy. In a city as "wet" as
Lexington it took paper of real
courage to make public such a con-
dItlon of affairs. Similar conditions
exist in every "wet" city in the
State.
