Retreat OF GERMANS
A strategic MOVE
(contInued from Flrst Pagel

Entente troops must now go forward
over deserted fields into uncertainty,
facing, unknowing, the sinister poS
sibllities Of the latest master stroke Of
Hindenburg.
German experts think weeks and
months will pass before the Entente
can strike at the real bulwarks Of the
new German system. Even before this
strike, they Will be compelled to make
enormous sacrifices.
German sold ers have labored like
ants to change the face of the country.
Not only will Germany have the ad-
vantage Of carefully prepared line
in. her new move, but army officers
pointed out today through shortening
her front Germany can save her Of
fensive power. That saving may be
of decisive importance in future oper-
ations to follow very soon. The short.
ened line will free a large number OF
troops. Not only will Germany saVe
these men-but the victorious Ger
man army. which subdued Rumania,
is likewise free.

Prepares Foundation
Plans for the Bridge

Now that the contest between the
Polk county and Marion county courts
is ended regarding the type of bridge
to be built, things will move slowly for
while. Although new men are now on
the state highway commission and new
bridge engineers, it is more than prob
able that the plans and specifications
drawn by the former highway commits
SION s engineers will be used. The
foundation plans will probably be com
pleted in detail, ready to submit to con-
tractors, in about two weeks. The COM
mission has considerable work ON hand
and 1t will be perhaps two months be-
fore 1t can give its time to the draw
ing of the details of the superstructure
of the bridge, whereby they may be sub
mltted to contractors. The materials in
the old bridge built 26 years ago are too
hight and rust worn to be used in anv
way and will have to be sold as scrap
iron. As soon as the county commission
ers of both counties meet, the agreement
will be signed hereby Polk county is to
pay $4l ,270 on the new bridge.
