They haye delivered a aeries •t' attacks, always preceded by art'l- J*ry activity, on the allied lines in Vlanders and France and, while in al most every case they have thus won preliminary advantage, before tha ttghting was concluded the French British or liclgians have regained th<i trpuches temporarily lost, and !u some cast's have occupied the German fositlons. In these attacks, according to Brii- iiili and French ofllcial reports, the ttermans have suffered severe losst^s. HeavT CanDonade on Yser.

Heavy attacks have been madj agaiust the Uussian lines in Central Poland. Faced by tianking move ments, botU north and south, Field Marshal Von Hindenbufg made a rfesporate effort, whijh apparently i^i to bo renuwt'd, tu break through to Warsaw and Jiu.i not only gain :i great military and political advantagii for Germany, but at the same tina. release the prcsure on Hungary and Bast Prussia, in each of which re gions the Uussian troops are slowly pushing forward. The fighting west and southwest of: the Polish capital has been of a des perate charactor and the Germans at ttrst were successful, but the Russiar. oHlcial report declares that the Rus sians by a counter-attack regalnefl most of the lo.st ground.

Notice was given recently that at a meeting of the Uoard of Aldermen tho offer of a hundred tons of road building material made by a Virginia concern had boon accepted. This com pany locatcd at Liilington, the Cement Gravel Company, is selling a special ivind of gravel for road building which they claim will make a road far supe rior to the sand clay variety and as good if not better than the regular Macadam. IJelieving that a trial will be suflicient to secure for them adcii- tional offers the company la giving to the city of Greeuvillo one hundred tons to use as a test. The material has already arrived and been unloaded but because of th'- bad weather conditions no opportuni ty has been offerred to put it down, it downlst-el Tho street authorities have about de cided to put this gravel road down on the street in front of the market and the work will be done as soon as con ditions will premit. The compnay lurnishing this material claims that one ton will build four square yards of roadway seven inches deep. Th? city has all of the needed equipment except a road roller and probably one of these can be borrowed either from tlie county or elsewhere. TO PASS SUIP BILL AGAl.NST THJi OPPOSITION Waaiiiubion, t>. C., Feb. -~A plan guardc>d with tho uiiuiv t secrecy, was adopted by administration Democrats of the Senate In caucus tonight lo break down opposition to the govern ment ship purchase bill. The pro gram includes parllmeutiiry maneu vers which will be actuated tomoi- row afternoon in tho Senate, and ac cording to leaders of tho party, is calculated to bring support for t iv measure to offset Monday's domo- cratic revolt. Haleigh, Feb. 3—The bill to divlle the State into two Judicial dlatrlLts 'was the main topic of discussion in the Senate yesterday Much debate was devoted to tho passage of this bill and tho debating continued up to the vote on the bill. The vote was strongly in favor of tho passage oi tho bill and all amendments were lost. The two districts as formed under this bill consist of forty-eigUf counties in the Western and fifty-two in the Kastera. Senator Harding introduced a uill to authorize the commissioners of Aydcn to issue bouds to ostablialj water, sewerage and light and lev*' taxes for tho same. House Proceedings. Thu proposition to establish arbiti<il courts in the several counties of the State caused considerable discussicr in tho House yesterday and from the general trend of debate, there seems to bo rough sledding ahead for th-: measure. It has already passed the Senate but the House does not look on the bill with any great degree of rav- or. Amendments were sent forward exempting tho counties of Wake, Gas ton, Hertford, Iredell Transylvania Bertie, Camden, Polk, Rowan and Graham from the operations of the bill when it finally went over for final action a number of other mem bers had amendments ready or were preparing them to exempt their coun ties. -Mr. Pogram's bill to simplify tli« form of deeds and mortgages brought out a lengthy discussion and it oo went over for final dispo.siition unt'l today.
