Appropriations Asked Of Congress
to Garry Out Other Improve

The Conduit Road Citizens Associa-
tion has sent to Senator John Walter
Smith. chairman Of the District COM
mittee. letter asking that appropri-
atoms be made for the improvement
Of that section Of the District and
also that legislation be enacted to
mako Conduit road safer for pedes-
trians.
The letter sets forth that the road
is used by a great number of auto
mobiles. that there are no sidewalks
along 1t. and that therefore pedes-
trians are frequently in danger Of
being run down. It recites q list OF
fatal accidents of this kind which
have occurred on the road in the last
few years.
The letter asks also for additional
school facilities. pointing out that the
board OF education has approved such
recommendations. In conclusion, 1t
says:
The Commissioners Of the District
OF Columbia have listened to our pc
tlttons very patiently. but are without
authority to remedy conditions. The
engineer officer in charge Of the road
recommended to the chief of engi-
neers in 1913 that Conduit road be

Early this morning the combined

the positions reached last night. Re-
ports received from along the front

Undoubtedly resistance developed at
several points. but this seems to have
been generally overcome except at
the left. where during the night sharp
fighting developed and the, allied
troops were unable to mainatin their

ground.
The French at the south began
their push forward at the same time

firmed, that they have captured LIE

The enemy in the Montdidier pocket
is now certainly in an even more pre-
carious position than yesterday! The

cavalry menace all the men and ma

The allied air forces continued the
vigorous operations they initiated
yesterday, and. besides blowing up
many of the Somme bridges, seriously
hampering the German effort to re-
move material they attacked troop
billets and transports.
The prisoners taken by the British
forces in yesterdays fighting totaled

THE original front of the attack
was only four kilometers. situated
south Of the Amiens-Roye road.
where our infantry went over tus
top at sos o'clock. but gradually the
offensive developed all along the right
bank of the Avre in the region of
Hargicourt."
THE Germans succeeded at some
points in temporarily staying our ad-
vance, defending themselves energeti-
cally. particularly between Morisel and
Moreuil. which they defended bitterly
with machine guns. We took Morisel
by storm. The battle was also stub
born in Moreuil, but already our
troops had advanced north of Moreuil
to a point northeast Of the wood which
commands the village. while another
group had crossed the Avre south of
the town. The Germans were Obliged
to withdraw.

the Germans hurriedly concentrated
