RECOGNIZE NEED TO

[Continued from First Pagc.l

sioner O'Neil is strongly in favor of
doing everything that is possible
from the standpoint of the state and
in addition the federal government
will contribute largely to the cost.
Dauphin county's proportion of the
route is about five miles, which
would mean a total approximate cost
of $150,000. This county has already
contributed $4,490 in the purchase of
the turnpike which amount will be
credited on its share of the cost. The
federal government will bear about
$4,000 of the county's share and
the state would divide the remainder
making the net obligation of the
county for this important improve
ment not more than $4S,000.
The Board of Commissioners of
Dauphin county have already been
interviewed regarding the subject
and 1t is hoped some definite plans
will be reached so that this vital con-
Meeting link between Harrisburg and
the east may be put in first class con-
dition.

Praises This CITY

A. Anderson, one of the naval re-
serves and the advance publicity
agent for the recruiting officers who
are stationed in Ashland two days
this week, spent several days the fore
part of the week in this city looking
over the field and arranging for the
campaign which opened Wednesday.
Mr.. Anderson expressed himself as
much pleased with Ashland during
his stay here, which he designated as
the most patriotic little city he hal
struck during his publicity work in
the state. Not only has Ashland done
so splendidly in her Liberty Loans,
but she has given her most highly
priced reasure-practically all her
young manhood-to the call of her
country. He regarded with much SYM
pathy the pardonable pride Ashland
feels over her showing Of enlist
ments, Liberty Loans, Red Cross work
and all the various other donations
so willingly and graciously made at
every call. Mr.. Anderson is a clean
cut young American who is devoting
his time and talents to the duties Of
his country, and made most favor
able impression during his stay here.

There is not the slightest reason

But Germany, in trying to deal with
Mexico and give her the states or
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, reck-
oned without Uncle Sam / would
like to see the autocratic tyrant that
could wrest three stars from the

British Troops Forced Back by
Huns From Recaptured Towns

little east Of Ypres, after a secret
and orderly night retirement, with
which the enemy interfered in no
way.
In the meantime the British were
more than holding their own In the
fierce struggle in the Bailleul-Wyt-
schaete sector where the progress Of
the German troops had threatened
the defenses of the wide salient to
the north.
Wytschaete today was reported to
again be in British hands, but such
was the nature of the struggle here
that 1t would be unwise to make a
definite claim at this time e p. m.).
The British official report of later
date announced the loss of this place
to the Germans.
Certainly the men in khaki we're
fighting gallantly and they were CIV
ing little ground here, according to
the latest advices from the very front
lines.
West of Bailleul, farther down the
line, the enemy was driven today
from Meteren, which had been hot
bed Of conflict for days. In all this
fighting grievous casualties have
been inflicted on the Germans.
Between Merville and Givenchy
also there have been heavy engage
ments. In this section the Germans
were hurled back. Further British
successes for the zone below Arras,
although this sector has retired to the
background since the drive to Haze
brouck began.
Not only have the British stood off
numerous of the enemy's masses at
Bucquoy, but they have forced the
Germans out of Boyelles and reoccu-
pied this place.
All this was heartening, although
no delusion was felt that further
mighty blows by the Germans were
not imminent.

Liberty Loan Committee Will
Endeavor to Double City Quota

To the People of Ashland and Vicin-
ity:
Secretary McAdoo anticipates and
hopes for heavy over-subscription to
the Third Liberty Loan. San Fran
cisco and Portland headquarters are
urging US to subscribe double our
quota of 100000, II possible. We
are already over the 100000 mark
and we believe that with little extra
effort we can reach the goal. The
campaign in the Ashland district is
by no means over. A careful inspec-
ton OF results of the soliciting al
ready done shows many who have
failed to subscribe. Some of these
people are unable to buy and would
gladly do so II they could, but there
are others who COULD buy If they
would, and still others, many Of them,
who should INCREASE, materially,
the subscriptions they have made.
The committee is making careful
inspection of the reports of solicit
ors. Many will be asked to increase
their subscriptions, and others who
have failed to subscribe and who the
committee feel SHOULD do so will
be asked to come through" The
committee has drafted the following
letter which will be mailed to many
some time next week, but its mailing
is delayed in the hope that those who
CAN do so will respond voluntarily
and that many others whose subscrip-
tions should be large will cheerfully
increase their subscriptions, thus CIV
ing Ashland larger share in the
honor Of helping the nation in the
hour or her dire need, and support
ing our boys in the field of battle:
