Process Servers
Must Turn in
Fees to County

Macomb County supervisors,
surveying the auditor generals
annual analysis of Macomb
County financial and admins
trctive affairs, on Tuesday halt
ed the monotony of the clerks
recital on only one phase of the
audit: the failure of the sheriff's
process server to make a rec
cd of civil fees received for
serving legal papers.
The auditor generals report
stated:
This office has not filed rev.
enue vouchers, as provided un-
der the Uniform Accounting
Law. for fees collected by the
department for serving papers.
The civil fees of this office are
retained by a non-salaried dep
uty, as per scheduled included
ia the supervisors journal. Re-
gardless Of what disposition is
made Of the fees, a department
al receipt should be issued for
all fees receives, entered in a
cash book in numerical order
and classified as to source Of
revenue"
Supervisor Bernard A. Kala-
har, Center Line, asserted that
Deputy Edward S. Cahill, pro-
cess server. should follow out
the prescribed method, since SUI
pervisors should know what fees
are being charged, he said. He
motioned for referral Of the mat
ter to the Sheriffs Committee
with instructions to correct the
error.

Plea Renewed
Before Board

Following up a strong appeal
made by Supervisors Stephen r.
Henderson and Henry A. Van
Hoeck, of East Detroit, that q
special Macomb County census
be re-considered by the Board
Of Supervisors, that body Tues
day took action aiming towards
thiS objective.
BY resolution they asked the
county's Senate and House rep
resentatives to amend any and
all bills dealing with distribu-
ton of state funds to communi.
ties lin the postwar period)
with an addition to the distribu-
ton basis.
At present, most bills set pop.
ulation "as of the last Federal
census" as the basis for distri-
button. Macomb County asks
that it be changed to "as of the
last Federal or special census. .
Henderson had asked for a
supervisors vote on the matter
of a census, claiming that South
Macomb communities - with
greatly increased populations
since the 1910 census stand to
loose thousands of dollars.
Supervisors Bert v. Nunne-
ley, of Mount Clemens, point
ed out to Henderson that the
holding of a special census now
would avail the county nothing.
if all current legislative bills 60
through with "as of the. last
Federal census" as the basis for
distribution. If such bills were
amended, he pointed out, a GEN.
sus might be considered.
Federal authorities had offer
ed to make a census for the
county at a cost Of $35,3O0 on
3. days notice. The 1910 popu-
lation was more than 100000
and the present estimate is more
than 10000. On a per capita
cash distribution plan, the coun-
ty would benefit considerably,
Henderson contends.

County Plans
100000 War
Bond Investment

Macomb County, with 81 $780,
600 currently invested in war
bonds-some of which mature
this year-will invest 100000
in the war effort shortly, If cur
rent plans of County Treasurer
William G.. Miller are approved.
Miller spoke to supervisors
Tuesday on the state of county
finances and pointed out that the
county could afford to place
$500, 900 in bonds, inasmuch as
100000 worth have just been
cashed; 100000 will mature in
June and another 100000 in
December.
The REIMBURSEMENT would be
credited to the county in the
Seventh War Loan drive now
being launched.
During 1914 the county's sew
en-eights of one per cent bonds
earned $4,000 in interest.
Supervisors endorsed Miller's
suggestion and instructed him to
confer with Controller Sher-
wood j. Bennett, with power to
act.

Spain Breaks

Spain has broken relations with

Interpreting
The War
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON
ASSOCIATED Press. News AnaIystl

The strategic pattern of the maj
or offensive in China forecast for
weeks from zChungking, and to
press which Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek turned over his premier
ship to T. V. Soong, is becoming
clearer every day.
1t is, based on attrition, with in
exhaustible Chinese manpoWer
whiting down Japanese strength
without risking a decisive engage
ment until. the foe is sufficiently
weakened to make the outcome
certain.
Chinese pressure from the West
is steadily narrowing the japanese
corridor linking the Yangtse and
the North with Canton and Hong
Kong in tine South. 1t already has
snapped the corridor stem branch
ing SouthWestWard to Indo-China.
A 50mile wide strip of the Tonkin
Gulf coast at the Indo-China bor-
der section is now in Chinese hands
to complete the rift in enemy
North-South communications.
The most determined enemy re-
sistance to the Chinese squeeze
continues to be on the Western face
of the HankoW-Changsha sector of
the corridor, however. Little pro-
gress has been made by the
Chinese forces there recently al
though severance of that communi-
cations link South of Lake Tung-
ting would isolate all Japanese
forces in Southeastern China as
well as those in Indo-China, South
Burma, Thailand and Malaga ex-
cept for ineffective air contracts.
Within the last few days the pat
tern of American 14th Air Force
bombing operations in support of
Chinese troops has begun to widen,
ind; sating developing coordi-
mated Sino-American strategic de-
sign. Fourteenth Air Force planes
have been ranging almost the
whole length of the Peiping-Han-

kow railroad and its Southern road
and rail extensions from Honan
Province to the region of the Attn S
former base at Kweilin on which
the Chinese are slowly closing a
triple-jawed wise. :
That rail-and-road system from
Yochow to Hengyang via the
Slang River Valley is the core of
Japanese deployments in South
eastern China as Shanghai is the
hub of Japanese occupation in
Northern China. There can be no
reasonable doubt that both keys to
enemy dispositions in China are
due for blistering air attack or
an increasing scale.
In the middle of the .Yochow-
Hengyang span there is some evil
dence that the foe is endeavoring
to open up an alternative escape
route NortheastWard by way OF
Nanchang Chungkina has reported
japanese attacks on Liuyang, East
of Cnsnsha. beaten off. Liuyane
lies on road connecting Chang
sha, and Nanchang There woulc
seem no other purpose behind q
japanese drive on the town ex
cept to open way for escape via
Nanchang.
A significant aspect of all recent
fighting in central, Eastern and
Southeastern China has been lack
of any indication of Japanese eff
forts to reinforce its scattered gar
risons from the North. Chinese
strategy appears keyed to keeping
up pressure from the West on cor
ridor defenses at many points
simultaneously and preventing any
massing of enemy troops.
