 The retreat of the enemy is still continuing, and another British force today entered Khan Bagdad, small garrison town twenty-two miles above Hit.
 The enemy were forced to aban- don a considerable quantity of war supplies at the latter place, and a number of prisoners were taken without serious fighting, so swift was the British advance. The enc my has made no show of real oppo- sitiOn since the resumption Of the British advances.

Setting Them.

The British Navy moves slowly,
but when it does strike it generally
gets results. The destruction Of the
former German cruiser Breslau and
the Bleaching Of the Goeben at the
mouth of the Dardanelles closes the
chapter of these two seawclves,
which have played an important
part in getting Turkey into the war
and keeping her there. Although
rechristened under Turkish names.
the two cruisers were manned and
operated by Germans. Their de-
struction removes a menace to Rus
sian shipping in the Black Sea and
to Allied interests in the Eastern
Mediterranean. BY the same meas
Mre it is blow to German prestige.
~eApother considerable section of the
high seas has been cleared by this
action. 1t is a loss which neither
Germany nor Turkey can replace
during the war
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-01-25

Citizens of Santa Fe, Perry and
Mexico, who have thousands of dol.
lars invested in the traction line
between Mexico and Santa Fe are
trying to devise some plan where
by the board of directors of the
road can recind their decision to
tear up the tracks and abandon the
road. The Chamber of Commerce
of Mexico has been appealed to and
it is yet hoped to be able to
continue operating the road. The
financial difficulties of the road
have been many and varied the
past several years.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-01-25

For the first time in years the
State of Missouri was able to begin
this year on a basis of cash. Quite
a bit of money was left over in the
treasury after all bills were paid,
according to State Auditor Hack
mann. This of course, is outside of
the more than two millions of dol
lars borrowed last year of St. Louis
bankers. 1t is hoped that. this
amount may be saved during the
coming year so that it can be paid
off the first of next year.

Good Roads Meeting.

The official call for the annual
meeting of the Pixies Peak Ocean
Highway Association has been is
sued by President c. F. Adams of
Chillicothe, Mo-. the meeting to be
held in St. Joseph, Mo-. on February
6 and 7. The dates for the meeting
were decided by a referendum vote
of the directors of all the state
divisions, from New Jersey to Cali
fornia.
Road problems arising out of war
conditions will demand first place
on the program for the annual
meeting, according to the official
call, which adds: In these times,
first thought must be given to our
country's need and the activities
and policies of our association must
be shaped along such lines as will
tender the best service to the nation"
The year 1917 has been a notable
one in the development of the Pixies
Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway. 1t
witnessed the completion of an in.
dependent alignment from New
York City to San Francisco and saw
substantial progress in marking, log.
ging, mapping, advertisement and
development Of the great central
tiaDscontioental route--The APP
plan Way of America"
There are now II states which
are completely organized for the
Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway
association. These stretch across
the nations greatest industrial
agricultural and scenic areas and
make the Pixies Peak highway one
of the nations foremost organized
routes. With railroad traffic tied
up because of the tremendous in
crease in shipping many states are
introducing motor trucks to handle
the business between cities situated
near one another and hard-surfaced
and improved roadways are neces
sary for this traffic.
Officers will be elected at the an.
nual meeting, there will be import
ant considerations of various
national and sectional problems
and frank and full discussion o
mobilizipg the highway and the en-
tire association for the nation dur
ing the war will be action to b
taken.
