Local Concern Expanding.

The Owen Engineering & Con-
struction Co. of this city are es-
tablishing a Willard Service Sta
tinn at Denison, Ia, from which
point they will handle all Willard
business for Crawford county. In
accordance with the we'll known
Willard policy they expect to
make this station the last word
in the matter of service to car
owners. This arrangement is
part of a plan to give the most
efficient and speedy service, as a
majority of the electrically
equipped cars depend entirely
upon the storage battery for ig-
ntion, lighting and starting. IT
lis not anticipated that this change
will in any way affect the Mis-
souri, Valley station other than to
increase the number Of new bat
teries in stock. Mr.. A. G.. Banta,
formerly manager of the Logan
office of this firm. will be in
charge.
Mr.. Owen came, here about six
years ago and by careful business
methods and a strict attention to
work, has built up a strong or
Iganization. We congratulate Dem
ison on the new firm which they
are securing and can assure them
that this firm is worthy of all the
confidence reposed in them.

!. The great human nippers which Gen.
Haig has forced around the southern
end of the DroicourtQueant line are
steadily closing and the rolling Up OF
this important section Of the Gcman
defenses appears to be a matter, of a
few days. The DrOicOurt-Q Queant line
is the hastily improvised barrier
thrown up by Field Marshal Won Hin

after the more famous line named in
honor of himself had been smashed
by the British. ...-

Germans to the British advance, cen.
tered in their defense Of Boullecour1,
two and one-half miles east Of Queant.
TO the south. the British have forged
well beyond Queant but have been
forced t mark time until BullecOurr
falls. The capture Of this village was
entrusted to the Australians and these
hard tightinZ scolonials have almost
surrounded the German stronghold.

apparently arousing suspicion in some
German minds ut least, and Berlin
newspapers are being bombarded with
questions that their military critics
have some difficulty in answering.
Apart from France, the only fight.

of the battle Of the Marine.
TROOPS DETACHED
/ The paper holds that the troops that
were detached to stem the Russian in
ylsiOn of East Prussia would have
been sufficient to change the defeat
Of General Won Gluck's army into vic
tory and that in that case the war
would have ended in a speedy and de-
cisive German triumph.
The agitation for the downfall of
Won Rethmann Hollweg is unconcealed
in press and parliament and is rein
forced by the Imperialist league and
the committees for German peace.
The bitterness increases as the chances
grow for reform Of political conditions
in Germany.
The reichstag committee on gener-
al reform will take up this week the
matter of redistricting. The popula-
tion of 100000 is recommended for a
reichstag district. The proposal,
long among the chief demands of
the liberals and radicals, is a blow
at conservative influence, as the pres
ent districting, dating from the foun-
dation of the empire, favors the
country section at the expense Of the
municipalities and industrial regions.
