the greatest and most decisive eam-

Three Drives Planned
The allies campaign, according 10
the highest French military critics and
authorities would embrace three great
routes Of invasion, designed to break
down all possible defense, seize the
most important points in Germany and
cut that country completely in two.
The allies left wing, consisting Ok
the Belgian army, with The British pro
tecting its right flank at the Cologne
bridgehcad, would drive eastward froIn
Dusseldofff into the network AZ rail-
ways, Of which Essen, only q day =

British army in position to execute a
flanking movement from the south,
should this be necessary, Germany
would lose at the outset not only her
great Krupp ordnance and munitions
works at Essen, but the entire sur
rounding mineral basin. This would
open the way Immediately to Minden,
where Germany has constructed q great
fortress for defending her plains from
entrance through Westphalia. With

supreme resistance against the allies

with such decisions being handed down
it was time for a recall of the three
commissions, Fred G. Buchtel, H. H.
Corey and Fred A. Williams.
Objection was made to the way the
Commission handed it to the city OF
Salem, intimating that the city was
not enforcing its own speed laws and
that the accidents that had been hap
pening at Capitol and Union streets
were due to the negligence Of city Of

The commission referred to the cross
ing as "one of the most open cross
ings in SALEM" Also it stated that
the Southern Pacific trains never ex-
eeeded a speed of more than ten miles
an hour and intimated that the rail.
road was in no way negligent.
Alderman West made a motion that
