The condition of Ohio county roads
is deplorable, and the more deplora-
BILE feature is, there is no immediate
prospect for improvement. The same
system of road working is being pur-
sued in this county that was employ
ed by our grand fathers in the days
of the wooden mould board and the
pruning hook, except in those crude
times the hoes were shop made, and
heavy. and now many road hands
use the goose neck. Few, If any,
other counties in the State employ
such primitive methods of road re-
pairing. In passing out of Ohio
county into any adjoining county the
traveller can locate the county line

this condition. 1t is true that labor
is scarce and teams difficult to pro-
cure, but what money is spent and
what labor is done by the Anticipated

method and system. The one ques-

road work should be placed under
a single responsible head. A trained
road engineer is imperative to order

German Troops NosO
Moving to u. S.
Salient at St. Mihiel


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Friday, June 7.--Reports of
recent heavy German train movements
from the direction of Metz toward the
st. Mihiel salient have aroused discus
sion in the American expeditionary
forces as to whether the enemy is
planning an assault in the Woevre.
From a tactical point of view tne
neighborhood of st. Mhiel. with its
sharp salient. offers a logical place for
a German attack A drive through St.
Mihiel to the southwest, it is consid-
cred, might have triple object-the
menacing of Barbecue, the outflank-
ing of Verdun from the rear and the
elimination of the salient which has its
apex at Verdun.
For the moment at least, perhapA
permanently, the Allies have stopped
the enemy at the Marine. Many en-
gagements of tactical nature may be
expected even if the Germans decide it
Is useless to continue their efforts
along the Marine and elect to hit the
Allied line at other places. The po-
sition of the railways and the forma-
ton of the terrain northwest and
north OF Barbecue offer the Germans
an opportunity. OF course, what the
future holds for the American forces
around st. Mihiel is not known, but
the salient there is being discussed as
a possibility not to be lost sight Of
Another place which is likely to Sc.
more fighting is the sector around
Montdidier where American troops re-
Gently captured Cantigny Another i'm
portant point at which American troops
are stationed is the territory around
Chateau Thierry. 1t may be considered
certain that whatever the future holds
the American forces undoubtedly will
participate in some hard fighting.

Pershing IL, Person
Directed Americans
In Cantigny Attack

WASHINGTON. June 8.--General
Pershing personally directed the first
offensive operation of the American
cxpeditionary forces when, on May %,
they captured the village OF Cantigny,
west of Montdidier from the enemy.
This information was gwen out to-day,
after the weekly conference Of the
War Council and the Senate Military
Committee
After repeated counter attacks by
the Germans had failed to dislodgc
the Americans. General Pershing was
congratulated by the Allied command
crs on the success Of the operation
According to facts brought out in the
conference, based upon the latest con-
fdential reports from the battlefront
cd, at least temporarily. In stopping
the advance it appears that General
Foch was able to withhold from the
front the bulk of his reserves, which
were kept at more vitality important
points. He thus defeated the German
aim Of forcing a weakening Of the
Allied defence on the front before
Amiens and south Of Ypres.
Allied counter attacks at the crest of
the German drive, it was pointed out in
the conference, have made it difficult
and have forced Ludendortf to maintain
an unusually large number of divisions
in this region to prevent complete re-
action. Thus he has been unable to
withdraw reserves from this front for
new blow in another sector.
Members of the War Council en-
phasized the Importance of hating the
German drive before it came within
range of Paris, not only to insure the
French morale but to prevent the Ger
mans from capturing several large
ordnance plants situated near the
capital. The capture or gripping of
these plants would be a serious set
back, it was said
Ordnance production in the United
States has fallen off in the last week,
the transportation Of troops has had
a setback, but the aviation situation
is better than in some time, according
to weekly production reports brought
out in the conference.
