EUREKA SPRING,
Graham, N. C.
.A valuable mineral spring

Physicians who have seen the
analysis and what it does,

THEIR GREATEST WAR FEAT
* I
Commands Territory on Bouth , and
East.—German Attack on Casemates
Plateau Repulsed.—Fighting Inmed
ed By Some Heavy Rains.
The crest of Monte San Gabriele,
| commanding the. plain of Gorizia to
the south and southeast and the Frlgl
do valley to the east, has been cap
tured by the Italians after three weeks
of the most bitter fighting, the Italian
i embassy at Washington announces.
This news of victory, probably
the greatest teat of the Italian
arms thus far In the war, pro
cedes the latest official report from
Rome. The statement from the
Italian war office says that the fight
ing on the entire Austro-Italian front
was impeded by heavy rain.
The Italian effort to capture San
Gabriele began after the taking of
Monte Santo, directly north, by Gen-
Seral Cadorna's troops on August 25.
Several times the Italians had reached
the summit of the great mountain, so
Important to their further progress
east of Gorizia, as well as on the
Carso, only to be beaten back again.
On the slopes of the rugged rock in
the lest few weeks has occurred some
of the heaviest and most sanguinary
fighting of the war. San Gabrlele's
top was occupied by the Italians, the
embassy reports after the fortified
hill or saddle of Dol and the Gargaro
basin, the main bulk of San Gabriele
had been taken. The Austrlpns, how
ever, still cling to some positions on
the mountain. In the forest of Tar
novo, east of Monte San Gabriele,
the Italians captured positions from
the Austrlana, after suffering heavy
losses.
Except along the Casemates plateau
on the Alsne front, there has been
no marked activity on the other fight
ing frdnts. A German attack against
the French positions on the Case
mates plateau, Paris reports, was re
pulsed with heavy losses. Berlin sayß
German troops penetrated to the sec
ond French line and inflicted severe
casualties. The British artillery Are
in Flanders, Berlin reports, has in
creased to drum .fire.

* Buenos Aires, Argentina government
at noon sent to the German legation
passports to be delivered to Count
Luxburg, the German minister in
Buenos Aires. The whereabouts of
Count Luxburg still is unknown to
the Argentine government.
The foreign office sent a communi
cation to the German foreign minis
tery demanding an explanation of
Count Luxburg's action in sending the
secret code messages to Berlin thru
the Swedish legation.
The note sent by Foreign Minister
Pueyrredon to Count von Luxburg, in
which the German minister was ten
dered his passports, reads:
"Mr. Minister: You having ceased
to be persona grata to the Argentine
government, that government has de
cided to deliver tt> you your passports
which I transmit herewith by order
of his excellency, the president of the
nation.
"The Introducer of embassies has
instructions to assist you in your im
mediate departure from the territory
of the republic. God keep you.
(Signed) "H. PEYRREDON."
"To Count Karl von Luxburg. en
voy extraordinary and minister pleni
potentiary of the German empire."
The Argentine minister at Berlin
has been instructed to inform the
German, foreign office that Count von
Luxburg has been handed his pass
ports and to ask for explanations re
garding tha telegram disclosures. If
the German government disapproves
of the text of the German minister's
dispatches and especially of the word
"ass," which term the count applied
to the Argentine foreign minister, the
situation may clear. If Berlin does
not disavow the minister's course, Ar
gentina will recall her minister from
Germany but may permit the legation
to remain.
ALLOWANCE OF $5 TO SSO

Washington.—Provisions of the sol
diers' and Bailors' insurance bill for
allowances of from $5 to SSO a month
to dependents during the service of
enlisted mer. were tentatively approv
ed by the house.
Strenuous efforts of Representative
Keating of Colorado, speaking for va
rious humanitarian organizations, to'
have the allowances raised, failed. He
maintained that statistics proved that
the proposed allowances would not
permit families to live in ordinary
comfort, but administration leaders re
plied that higher payments would
make the cost to the government
prohibitory.
These are the amounts. In addition
to any sum taken from the pay. that
dependents would receive monthly:
Wife, no children. 115; one child,
$25; two children, $32.50; and $5 ad
ditional for each additional child.
One motherless child. $5; two chil
dren, $12.50; three children, S2O;
four children, S3O and $5 monthly ad
ditional for each additional child.
One parent, $10; both parents, S2O;
each dependent grandchild, brother or

Spelcal povlslons are made for the

THE ORGANIZATION. •
DANGER STILL THREATENING
A Cabinet of Five Members, Includ
ing Premier Kerensky, Ha* Been
Named to Take Care of All Matter*
of State.
A Russian republic has been pro
claimed. The provisional government
under date of September 14 Issued a
proclamation declaring that to
strengthen the organization of the
state a change to a republican form
of government was necessary.
Danger still threatens Russia, the
proclamation says, although the re
bellion of General Kornllolf has fail
ed. The plan of a Russian ropubjlc
has been one of the chief aims of
the radicals and the councils of sol
diers' and workmen's delegates and
was given approval by the recent
Russian congress at Moscow.
A cabinet tjf five members, Includ
ing Premier Kerensky, has beon
named to take care of all mattora of
state.
Tho only party men are Prenjier
Kerensky and M. Nlkltlne, minister
of posts and telegraphs, both of
whom are social revolutionists. The
others, Including the ministers of war
and marine, are the members of no
party.
Although the position of the Ke
rensky government appears to be Im
proving, the action of the grand coun
cil of the Don Cossacks In refusing to
surrender General Kaledines, their
hetman, Is ominous. The leader of
the Cossacks Is accused of complicity
In the Korniloff revolt. Tho Copaacks
protest their loyalty to the govern
ment, while Ignoring the govern
ment's request for the giving up of
General Kaledines.

-ROAD •
BrniDiwc
ROYAL LINE iM A DEMOCRACY
"Road* Rule the World—Not Kings or
Congre»*e», Not Courts, Nor Con
stable* or Soldier*."
Tn an nrgumcnt for pood roads some
wise man, whose name has been lost,
made use of the following: "Roads
rule the world—not kings, noi" con
gresses, nor courts, nor constnhles,
not ships nor soldiers. The road Is
tho only royal line In a democracy, the
only legislature thnt never changes,
.the only court that never sleeps, tlw
only army that never quits, the ilrst
nid to the redemption of any nation,
the exodus from stagnation In any so
ciety, the call from savagery In any
tribe, the high priest of prosperity,
after the order of Meichisedec, with
out beginning of days or end of life.
The road Is umpire In every war, and
when tho new map Is made. It simply
.pushes on Its great campaign of help,
hope, brotherhood, efficiency and
peace."
The vnlOo of good roads may be
better understood when It Is known
that the average cost to farmers of
the United States to transport produce
to market Is more than 2.'1 'cents per
ton per mile. These figures do not In
clude the cost of breakage of 1)11 mess
or vehicles. Tho cost per ton per
mllo over hard-surfaced roads Is less
than half the present average.
GAINER BY IMPROVED ROADS
Careful Analysis Show* Greatest
Gain Over Present Conditions I*
Man on Branch Road.
The development of sentiment
for Issuing bonds to build permanent
roads has brought to the surface many
questions which require careful con
sideration and demand clearly slated
and convincing replies. Of these, the
one recurring most frequently Is:
"What advantage Is there In a bond Is
sue for the farmer who lives aaverul
miles from one of the Improved
roads?".
At first glance It would seem that
the man living (Ureetly upon tho Im
proved road obtains the greatest bene
fits, but careful analysis proves that
the greatest gain over present condi
tions Is the man on the side road.
With the limited road and bridge
funds usually available In any town
ship and the necessity of keeping the
main highways at least In passnble
condition, little or nothing Is left for
working upon the less traveled roarls.
As repair expense practically censes
when permanent roads are built, the
road and bridge funds formerly spent
on main roivls will be released for use
upon the side roads.
In addition, money spent upon these
side roads will go five times as far,
or do five times as much wo[k, as
Soil Road in North Carolina.
when It wa* sfent Upon tho roads
where heavy travel quickly wiped out
every trace of the Improvement. A
reasonable amount of rood and bridge
money used In ditching and dragging

to bear to pbtalu early enactment of
the measure.
To save soldiers and sailors from
all klnda of legal Injustice during
their absenco from home, the meas
ure would nejoln the carrying
certain civil court actions until litter
the close of tho war, artd establish as
legal excuse for failure to carry cer
tain contracts, the fact that a man Is
In the military service.
It Is proposed that creditors' suits
against officers or mon may be held
up and Judgment by default denied,
the frmncrs of the bill recognizing
that a man In tho army or navy
would have no opportunity to msko
his defense In person or arrango for
its proper hearing through counsel.
If such a Judgment rested agnlnßt
a man at the time of his enlistment,
tho bill would provent Its execution
throuifh the sale of his property dur
ing his absence. It would set aside
,*tho statute of limitations so that o
debt owed to a soldier might not be
outlawed In his abityice It would pre
vent the eviction of his family while
he was away If they failed to pay the
rent; It would protect him against the
ordinary results of defaulted payments
on buslnciis mortgages and keep him
from being sold out In hit absence;
It would Insure any right* he might
have to public lands, although his
service at the front had prevented
him from completing the legal acqui
sition of tho property.
