ALLIES ATTACK
SURPRISED HUNS
Morisel Was Taken by
Storm While Battle
for Moreuil was Sttb-
born.

PARASITIC French war ministry
Friday issued the following state
ment:
"The brilliant operation which we,
in concert with British troops, exc
cuted Thursday, has been a surprise
for the enemy. AS occurred in the
offensive of July Is, the soldiers
of General Debeney have captured
many soldiers engaged in the peaceful
pursuit of harvesting the fields be-
hind the German lines.
Hun Artillery Replied Feebly
"Our artillery preparation was
short, lasting less than an hour. The
enemy artillery had made no counter
preparation at the beginning of the
action, merely replying feebly.
THE original front of the attack
was only four kilometers, situated
south of the Amiens-Roye road,
where our infantry went over the top
at sos O'Clock, but gradually the Of
fensive developed all along the right
bank of the Avre in the region of
Hargicourt.
Took MOrisel by Storm
The Germans succeeded at some
points in temporarily staying our ad-
vance, partially between Morisel and
Moreuil. We took Morisel by storm.
The battle was also stubborn in
Moreuil, but already our troops had
advanced north of Moreuil to a point
northeast of the wood which COM
mandes the village, while another
group had crossed the Arve south of
the town. The germans were obliged
to withdraw.
with irresistible courage our SOL
diers climbed the hills east of the
Arve. Meanwhile our charging cars,
crossing the river upon bridges hast

ceeding up the hill, Joined and as

COUNTY OFFICERS MAY BE
ASKED TO RESIGN

Continued from page four
other at the bench above Firth, and
two above Shelley.
The board decided that steel con-
structiOn was about as cheap as wood
and much more durable. They built
of steel, and when the bridges were
done they needed no more attention
There was none of the many ills that
belong to wooden bridges that re-
quired repairing frequently. They
have been in place ever since, and the
rails are not falling off into the
stream or tumbling down on the
track and ripping Intervals out of
passing cars.
The same board built a good many
culverts along the state highway, and
they took the trouble to put them all
down deep enough so they could be
covered over deep and yet leave the
road an grade. Hundreds of cars
scoot over them ever week and no
body ever known when they crossed
culvert by the movement of the car.
There are no bumps nor jumps nor
broken springs. No telephoning to
some garage to come out and haul
them to town and telegraph for re-
pairs and wait while they come.
Thousande and thousands of cars
have scooted over them at high
speed with out doing a cent of dam
age.
That kind of culvert does not cost
much more if any, than the kind
that can be found all over the county
that is not worth keeping after it is
built. Most of them are sunk only
little into the ground and are cov-
cred over just enough to hide the
wood or steel. If covered any deeper
it means that they have to grade up
for distance or make bump in the
road. Either one would cost more
than it would have taken to sink the
culvert down where it belonged, and
it would delay the travel by check
ing the speed to save damage to the
cars. If it IS wood culvert it is
soon being slivered by the wheels,
and If it is metal one it is soon bent
in, and then it begins to slice the
wheels as they cross. Soon the
thing needs repairs and then it needs
lCUuAoAA6, OCAu6 q IOCdl lOOo 1uu oil
the work Of installation is lost.
Culvert construction in different
parts of the county depends more on
the road overseers than on the COM
missioners. There are only three
commissioners to harbor mistaken
notions of how work should be done,
and there are many road overseers,
with as many ways of building Gull
verts. If we had county superin-
tendent of roads educated in right
road building, boss of all construc-
ton, man who would see that every
piece of work is done with a full
understanding that roads will be
needed after he is dead, each bridge
and culvert that is built would mean
that many less to be bothering with.
The way things have been going most
of the time in this county, every
bridge built means that much more
to bother about year after year.
The men who accept office this
year for road work in 1918 and 1920
will have something to think about.
If there is not some very pronounced
improvement in the ways of spend
ing the road and bridge fund there
will be requests for designations, and
requests will mean something more
than We'd rather you would quit"
