4 RIPRAPPING AND PLANTING COMPLETE [Continued from First Page.] Inake It diversified and yet have a Kood showing of each variety used. To provide for the planting soil T>ockets four feet apart were ar ranged in the riprapping. The plant ing work was done by the regular l>ark planting force. A consider itble quantity of compost which was Siauled from Hargest Island where St has been maturing for the past twelve years, was used. Extra care "was necessary in the planting be cause of the fill under the riprap, composed of bricks, shale, slate, stones, ashes and almost everything except soil which would encourage Blowing and plants. Vine Is Valuable One of the first plants decided "upon was the matrimony vine which has "done Its bit" and more to with stand the ravages of the river whtch si tits high stages plays havoc with the unprotected slope. It was first tised between Market and Walnut streets in 1904 and since that time has held its own in beauty and util ity; its foliage is beautiful all sum- Jnvar and during the fall and winter it displays an abundance of red ber ries. It has been marvelous to see 1t recover from the damage done bjr the thousands who trampled It and sat on It during attractions on the river such as the Kipona. after which event it seemed ruined, but in a very few weeks it was up and "over the top." Seven hundred matrimony vines liave been placed in the packets be tween Maclay and Peffer streets. Beginning at Pefter streets and ex tending to Muench street, five hun dred honeysuckles have been plant ed, the remaining ten hundred and l'orty lineal feet between Muench and Hamilton street have been plant ed with three hundred and sixty bit ter sweet, three hundred and twenty rambler roses and three hundred silk Tines (planted in the order named). The bitter sweet has a nice foliage and is noted for its orange and scar let berries during x the fall and win tor; the silk vine is a new one along the River Front, but it comes veil recommended for its fighting quali ties and pretty green leaves, and the honeysuckle for its fragrant odor. The rambler roses will likely be (the most popular and exceed all oth er planting in point of beauty. In the mixture are white Dorothy Perk- Ins, white memorials, pink American pillar, red wichuriana and pink lady gay. At each of the ramps at the top of the bank Japanese barberry plan.s have been used. An additional one hundred plants of the rambler roses . tatlsta i c< the ratable'U&ya?manafacttire'.'*' 10 ''* " > " M ** —V* Walnut UPH 1 ■ -.77 I HAVE MADR GOOD Walter 1,.

A \ FRIDAY EVENING, will be placed on the slope along: the roadway to the river Just south of the Walnut street bridge. The sectlQn between Hamilton and Maclay street while completed so foi as ripxapping is concerned, requires to finish it several hundred cubic yards ot flit, between the riprap and the top of the bank and much of this Is now being placed through the co operation of the highway depart ment. In connection with the work along the Front street park workmen have just completed trimming one hun dred and fifty trees damaged by the severe windstorm of September; about twenty-five trees were either blown down or Injured so badly that removal was necessary. The park de partment will continue to plant trees in the Front Street Park during the next ten days or two weeks so that there will be started young trees where necessary to fill places mado vacant by recent losses through storm and disease. About thirteen hundred and fifty lineal feet in which there will be twenty-one hundred square yards of riprap remain un finished between Hamilton and Cal der street. A total of twenty-five hundred and nineteen lineal feet or forty-nine hundred and forty-seven square yards of riprap has been done. This includ'es six hundred and sixty eight square yards at Muench and Peffer streets; ramps finished June, 1916, the greater part being done during the summer just past.

George, born in America, and profoundly attached to this country, was educated at Culver and graduated with high honors, re ceiving a gold medal for his horse manship. Devoted to the water, which, as his proud mother says, is in his blood, he likewise has gone into the Navy. Ferdinand, third son of Mme. Schumann-Heinke, has been a suc cessful cattle rancher, but felt so strongly the call of his country that he has left the ranch in the care of his wife, although she is very young, and joined the forces at Fort Riley, Kansas. Hubert J. Guy, her son-in-law, has joined the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. A stepson, Walter, has enlisted at Paterson, N. J.

Recently in an Arizona town she sang from a platform supported by oil barrels. People journeyed 200 miles across the desert to the little town, to shtire In the indescribable beauty of that wonderful voice. Not long since, while visiting at the ranch of her son, Ferdinand, she saved the life of a 14-year-old boy, who had been bitten by a scorpion, by sucking the poison from the boy's wound.

FRENCH FORD RIVERS TO SMASH MACHINE [Continued from First Page.] . making their way to the rear, march ing without escort. Damaged German i machine guns lay everywhere, while 1 scattered around were heaps of am munition, cannons and immense quantities of military material. Mun.v Taken Prisoner Many Germans were captured in the enormous cavern of Fruty. The approaches were battered severely and large holes had been torn in the roof, demonstrating the power and efficiency of the French artillery. Not an inch of ground hereabouts had been left unchanged. The cavern and galleries about one kilometer in length with many exits, most of which had been damaged greatly by the French guns. When the French i infantry dashed forward in the dark ness they approached the entrances warily and found them full of Ger mans waiting for the moment of at tack. Hand grenades and smoke bombs soon brought them out with their hands raised in token of sur render. Meanwhile the tanks had advanced with the Infantrymen until the sec ond German position was reachod, destroying on the way any nests of machine guns opposing the progress of the French troops. The tanks ad vanced several kilometers during which they met and demolished many machine nests. One tank was opposed by a determined German of ficer with a large body of men who poured bullets upon the armored sides of the machine without effect. Finally, the French officer in com mand descended from the tank and I with his revolver forced the whole ! group to surrender. Tanks Valuable Another tank found a battery of field guns facing it. As soon as the tank opened fire half of the artillery men threw up their hands, while the remainder bolted only to fall be neath a hail of machine gun bullets from the monster. To-day the French advance pro ceeded rapidly and the units reached the various objectives with regular i ity. After taking the village of Pinon, the patrols went forward and eotered the forest of the same, found many German cannon abandoned but with the breach blocks gone. Dead horses, killed by the German gunners, lay beside the cannon. The Germans had found it impossible to get the weapon away over the marshes adjoining the Aisne canal, over which most of the bridges had been destroyed, making a re treat of artillery impracticable. French Casualties Low Hundreds of machine guns were captured by the French and many of them were turned on the fleeing Germans, who had left plenty of am munition behind. It is reported that 120 cannon have fallen into French hands, but the number is un certain owing to the condition of ihe battlefield and Its width. The sime uncertainty applies to the number of prisoners, hundreds of Germans be ing encountered on all parts of the field, marching wearily back to the French lines. The sight of the towers of the cathedral of Laon on the horizon a few miles away spurred the French soldiers to wonderful efforts of en durance and swiftness. They went on determinedly in pursuit of the Germans, leaving parties behind to clear out cellars and caverns which disgorged hundreds of demoralized prisoners who seemed astounded at the vastness of their defeat. With all this severe fighting on a battlefield where the Germans held i strong positions and where they nc ! cepted the challenge of th French | army to a stand-up combat, the French casualties were remarkablj ! low. | HEAR HOAD TESTIMONY The board of viewers appointed to decide on the advisability of turning Green&walt'a lane, near I-ucknow. in to a public roadway, heard testimony to*-day in the City Council chamber.
