THE TRAIL rs OURS

At the meeting of the National
Old Trails Association in Kansas
City last week, at which representa-
.tives from Holly and other valley
towns were present, it was finally
decided to leave the routing of the
Trail as it is. This means that the
Santa Fe Trail as it now is will con-
tinue to be advertised by the Old
Trails Association as the official
route for transcontinental traffic
and that the usual summer traffic
will come this way.
However, the representatives from
the valley towns were informed that
it would be necessary for the vari-
GUS counties along the trail route
to Keep the road in shape if the
trail remained here and that if this
was not done some action would be
taken. Certain Kansas counties
seem to be the cause of the trouble
and their failure to rebuild bridges
and to do other necessary repair
work may yet lose the trail to the
northern route. Representatives
F. w. Smith and A. p. Knuckey of
Holly report an enthusiastic con-
vention and live interest in all
road matters; ii =

Norwich bulletin., 1918-04-26

The great double German drive, in the SOmrne and Armentieres sectors, which began on Wednesday morning, has developed into a terrific struggle. The tide of battle has surged to and fro during the past two days, with the decision still in the balance. The British, having been forced back out or Nillers- -Bretonneux, launched a counter attack and swept the Gea- mans back almost to the lines which were held before the present fighting began. The French have been driven back out of Hangard- -Santerre, but are holding their positions close by, while on the line southwest of Ypres the British have been compelled to withdraw slightly before furious at tacks along the Meterin- -Bailleul- Mytschaete line.
 Wounded Americans are arriving at a hospital behind the French lines in the Somne sector, showing that Gen eral Pershing's men are bearing their share Of the burden of the great bat tle.
 Notwithstanding the frantic prepa- -ations made by the Germans for a continuance of their drive toward Amiens and the extreme violence of Inc fighting, the gains thus far in that region nave peen very small Along the line from Albert south to Castel. except at Hansard- en- Santerre the German assaults have been hurled back by the allied forces. which are strong ly posted on the higher ground to which they retired during the last daa-s Of the German drive in Picardy.
