FAVOR FREIGHT ROUTES
Plan to Operate Auto-Truck Lines
interests Many Kansans.

Much interest is being manifested
in the plan to operate auto-truck
freight routes in Kansas. Letters ad-
dressed to w. c. Markham. secretary
of the state highway commission. in
dictate that a number of men in the
state want to get into the business.
In order to expedite the routing of
proposed motor freighting, Mr.. Mark
ham is preparing q chart of the state
which Will be of assistance to those
who desire to engage in the business.
Chairmen of the five districts into
which the state has been divided. are
kept busy in their respective dictricts,
ascertafning the prospects for imme-
date Inauguration of motor truck
freighting. They will hold another
meeting soon with the state highway
commission.
Since the plan for motor freighting
has been agitated, Markham has re-
ceived letter from a creamery firm
at Concordia. which states that it has
been patronizing a truck route for
freighting for the last fourteen months
and has found 1t works very salts
factorily- The operator of the route
the letter states. has made a good
profit. The creamery company guar
antees the truck a load one way, and
on the trip out. the truck carries mis-
cellaneous freight. Altho the roads
are not better than the average Kan
~sas dirt road, the truck has not failed
to make a daily trip yet.

HUNS driven BACK
Claim of Strategic Withdrawals
Without Foundation.
Troops Were Ordered To Hold
Positions to Last.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The German
retreat before the victorious sAmeri-
cans, French and British was not a
voluntary withdrawal, but a hard
fought retirement against the plans
and orders of the German high com
mand, entente military authorities
here are able to announce today.
Absolute falseness of the German
contentious that they withdrew north
ward from the Marine and above
Montdidier and Albert on a pre-ar-
ranged tactical plan is proved in
copies of orders of the German head
quarters found in the possession of
captured German officers.
Orders to Hold.
The document shows positively that
the Germans expected the victorious
allied counter ,offensives and that the
Teutonic forces were ordered to hold
their lines at all costs. To advance
in certain cases even in the face of the
enemy's artillery barrage is one I'M
usual section of the order.
Officers are instructed to have their
at all costs and to be prepared be-
forehand for all sacrifices.
The high command also directed
that retreat should be made only
after the, first line and the reserves
had been overwhelmed and only un-
der orders from the chief of arms
who will then organize each method
ical attack to retake the lost ground"
