Huns Resistance Weakens and Are Forced to

On the battlefelds the Germans everywhere are being carried back ward to their borders. Tournai, an important railroad center in Belgium on the line leading to Brussels, has been entered by the British who are across the Scheldt with few barriers of great importance between them and Brussels. To the south of Val enciennes the British have taken Avesnes. another important railroad junction point and all along the front have pushed the Germans far their east. Meubeuge is ebing ad- vanced upon by the British.
 The French again have cut deeply into the enemys front. At last ac- counts they had reached Liart, 20 miles north of Rethel OF the railroad leading eastward to Mezeres. The taking of this town leaves only one railroad in this portion of France over which is being daily brought nearer and now at some places is dominated by the French guns.
 Eastward the French are still driving northward and have joined hands with the Americans in the
 western outskirts of Sedan. More prisoners and large additional quan- ! titles of war stories have been taken jby the French.

apparently is on the theory that the
dictates of the peace conference must

disturbed by Bolshevism, Is one o9ering

That President Wilson Will have lIttis

Delaware Automobile Asso-
citation Approves This Plan
of Repairing Roads
WILL PROBABLY BE
STARTED AT ONCE
BY Tie United Press.

The Delaware Automobile Association
this morning, in a letter to the Levy
Court. supported the idea that the court
has under consideration the patrol sys-
TEN on the new stone roads. ToWii-
send Miller, representing the associa-
ton, was also present and made a short
address approving the plan. Mr.. Miller
said he thought il would be an excellent
idea. He also said the association real
lied that the past season the Levy Court
has been doing the best It possibly
could because Of government restric-
tlOns.
Levy Courtmen Fouracre, Elliott and
Groves spoke in favor Of the system.
They thought II should be put into
effect at once, so as TO have the system
in good working order by spring.
The idea is to have men with carts
and proper material go over the roads
and patch up the holes as soon IS they
break. This york would be started
with new roads as soon as they are
completed.
Levy Courtman Groves stated that the
section OF the proposed Lincoln High
way from st. James Church to Newark
will be impossible during the coming
winter. He said he desired the public
to understand that this condition is not
the fault OF the cour. The contract
for the work was awarded to the Eastern
Paving Company in September, but
owing to government regulations no
material or labor could be secured for
the work.
