A New Allied Offensive.

Evidence that Gen. Foch is not dis
posed 70 postpone aggressive sctions
against the enemy until next spring is
furnished by the news that new Of
fensivc has been started on . large
scale in the Amiens- Montdidier sector,
involving two British and French
armies. This is the area Of recent
German Withdrawals.
Reports of the action begun this
morning are meager, but satisfactory
In their general indications Of success.
It does not yet appear whether this is
an attempt to "break through" or
merely part of q general campaign Of
pressing back the enemy lines in
France. It is similar in one respect
to the Foch offensive Of July Is on the
scissors Chateau Thierry line, in that
it hits the enemy ON the flank Of a
salient, though not like it in that it
does not occur in the course of the
foes own aggressive action.
In one particular, this new offensive
Is important, indicating that Foch in
tends to maintain the initiative, which
had been held by the enemy since the
beginning Of the series Of advances in
March, up to the surprise stroke of
July 1e. With q unified command, with
a much greater hexibility Of force, ow-
ing to the possession Of reserves, and
with line shortened by enemy with
drawals, the alliss are in q position
Of FAR greater strength than they were
fivo months ago, on the eve Of the
German blow in Ficardy.
In ths matter of man power IN the
western area the allies have now
gained Tremendously over the enemy.
The German losses in the four Of
fensives have been roughly calculated
at three-quarters of a million men.
They are probably greater than those
Of the allies IN the fighting. But even
Il they are NO greater, II the losses
balance, the Germans have actually
lost IN relative power through the ad-
dition of fully . million American SOL
diers since the oflensives began. Their
losses in material, also, have been a
very serious blow to them.
A few hours will develop the extent
and importance Of this new allied Of
fensive. But, whatever its scope or i'm
mediate results, Il must be regarded as
one Of the most promisins indications
Of the summers campaign, in its show
ing that the tide has now definitely
turned and the striking power has
passed from the hands Of the enemy.

Heat Waves and Park spaces.

Last evenings storm was . life
preserver. Unquestionably the cooling
wind and the rain saved many peFsons
in this region from illness and pos
&bly many from death. The eontin-
aed high temperatures Of two or
three days, reaching and passing rec
ords in their intensity, could not have
been much longer endured.
Washington has not suffered e1csp-
tionally in this wave Of heat. vir-
tually the entire country has been
srnothered BY it. Reports from other
cities show temperatures as high as
end even higher than those recorded
Here. We have had the advantage over
tie dwellers in many other cities. how
ever, IN that our parks have afforded
opportunities for rest and relief that
,are not enjoyed BY less fortunate com
munities.
It is in such crises as that Of the
hot wave that the wisdom Of liberal
park provision appears. During the
two intensely hot nights, Monday and
Tuesday, these open spaces of Wash
inston were filed with people seeking
respite from the intense atmosphere.
A large part Of the park area Of this
city has been occupied by war build
ings Of a temporary character, and
ether areas will be filed in the near
future. There should be no question
whatever a. to their demolition ~
soon as possible. Doubtless some Of
them will be retained for time after
the war has ceased, until the govern
msnt's business 10 readjusted to q
peace basis. But that period Of park
occupation should be made very short,
for the city needs the reservations, ~
these last few terrible days and nights
Asss clearly proved.

MIR. WEAVER rs WORKING
FOR NEW EIGaNAY SYSYEY

Washington, Nov .-Represen-
tative Zebulon Weaver is negotiating,
with the United States forest reserve
looking to the establishment Of sys-
tenn Of highways linking together the
government reservations of Western
North Carolina. The contemplated
network OF roads would establish
easy communication between the Ma
con county lands at the head of the
CullasaJa river, the Vanderbilt boun-
dary, the Mitchell reservations and the
lands at the head, OF Big Ivy creek in
Buncombe county.
A congressional act makes it on
tfonal with the forest service whether
funds shall be contributed for such
purposes. Representative Weaver
will ask for sufficient appropriations
to establish this chain Of improved
highways. He has already held one
conference with the forest service and
this will be followed up with series
of conferences next week.

CONCRETE ROAD FINISHED,

Buncombe county celebrated the
completion of the concrete road from
Blltmore to a point near the Hende1-
son county line last Saturday, when
the last bucket Of concrete was pour
ed
One of the ce1ebrators said that 20
years ago he travelled the same road
when it was a plank road, which Was
then recognized as a great feat in
road building. The present road is
said to be one of the finest concrete @
roads in the United States. It. cost,
about $4,000 a mile. When the Er.-
finished link of about one and c1le-
half miles is completed and brings the
concrete up to. the county line, the
government will come to Buncombe's
aid in the cost of building.
This splendid piece. of highway is OF
great Importance to Henderson ana
Buncombe counties, making the travel
between the sections a pleasure.
This is probably the most travelled
road in Western Carolina

INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS HERE

State~Deputy Insurance Commission
er Frank Jordan was in the city this
week making regular inspections.
The commissioner was very well
pleased until he inspected the alley
leading out to Third Avenue past the
Hustler's door. This is an alley into
which merchants dump trash for the
sake Of convenience. It contains huge
piles OF materials OF many varieties az
times and then the wind comes along
and shifts them out on Third avenue
and in front of the -Hustler's door and
also out on Fourth avenue.
The commissioner branded such
trashy business as a public disgrace
which is complete vindication OF
quite enraged feelings from this shop
at times.
