THOSE PETITIONS
Two Kansas Men Obtain 20 Signatures to Shorten the
 Road to Tipperary

It is an old saying that you can take a petition and get signers for most anything, says the Plainville (Kansas) Times. Two Abilene men recently made wager to this effect:
 One started out and secured 20 signatures to a petition to the governor to shorten the road to Tipperary. None had stopped to read the petition, being content with the bearers explanation that he was trying to get the governor to do some thing in the interest of good roads.
 You can imagine that there was some surprise when Gov ernor Capper and Secretary Sessions received the queer petition. It was not for several weeks that they found out it's origination.-Arkansas Ga zette, Sept. "A.

 Much of the ground in today's bat tie Is mtersected by perfect net work of little waterways. rendering it marshy and difficult for the troops to advance against Q deliberate de- lense; while between LeSateau and Solcsmes We are approaching thick forest. Obviously, under such con Gitions from the thirty mile front must he fragmentary and disconneet- cd.
 We are drawing into long range ar tilery reach of both Mons and Mau- beuge. vital points of the German communications and 1t seems not un- duly optimistic to predict that the British troops will soon be beyond any line of French soil they have yet trodden during the present war
 At present the action is almos. wholly confined to a struggle of the infantry against machine gun resist ance The nature of the country is unfavorable to the employment oi tanks and even the bringing up of guns often entails considerable diff ficulty. Moreover, the tendency is tc keep the British columns as mobile as practicable.
 The sappers and engineers are do- ing great work, but it is the infantry that is carrying out the victory,
 The Americans are rapidly adding war history to indomitable gallanuy and are congregatng laurels 10 the history of the fourth army
 The artillerymen, airmen and in a limited measure, the cavalry. are do- ing their part nobly, but primarily these are infantry battles, and what Napoleon said of marching men re- mains true in open warfare today.
