London, April 9.--In the house OF
commons this afternoon, Premier
Lloyd George declared that while in
tho most critical phases OF the war
there is a lull the hurricane Ia not
over. The fate of the empire, Europe
and liberty, he said, depend upon the
success with which the final attack
OF the Teutons is met Until the
strain is relaxed, it would be diff.
cult to ascertain what had happened.
He said at the beginning of the great
battle the German strength on tho
west front was about equal to that
OF the allies.

have taken the contracts of putting
the hill in good shape and ask only
that Judgment be left until results
can speak for themselves.
A number OF culverts are needed
on the Cement road. II is the pur.
pose of the Highway association to
see that swork on the necessary cul.

soon as locations and specifications
can be determined. These culverts,
according to the outline given by the
Highway association. are to be of
concrete and will replace the more

verts with which the route abounds
at this time.
In addition to the funds of the
Highway association, certain county
funds will be available for use on
the road construction and building OF
culverts. An effort is to be made to
secure still more funds from the state
highway department and it is all to
be pooled ON the Cement road, ac-
cording to present plans.
