LONDON, Jan. The Daily Mail
learns from source hitherto accu.

the best possible bargain with Russia,
whose diplomacy appears to have tri.
umphed at Pekin. England having re-
solved not to force conflict by further
opposing Russia's claims at Port Arthur
and in the LAO Tung peninsula. Japan,
says The Daily Nails authority, "has
been thrown into state of consterna-
ton by the British backdown and has
adopted more friendly attitude
toward Russia"
This statement, however, The Daily
Nail admits, is incredible and probably
. bluff with view of forcing England
to take decided steps. The Daily Mail
counsels its readers not to be alarmed.

LONDON, Jan. 81.-While the situa.

and in the present excitable state Of the

disturb European peace. A note has
been sounded by some Of the French
newspapers. which urge cessation of
the present agitation in France, point
ing ont that the country should not
play into the hands of Germany. The
Petit Journal says:
1.-THE government may soon be unable

making a statement which is liable to

proofs that Germany foresees the pos

trouble"
The relations between France and
Great Britain are also drifting towards
crisis. The Niger negotiations in
Paris have not reached an agreement,
and there are no signs of them doing

tending to take the question out of the
hands of the diplomats and leave it to
be settled by the hands of soldiers.

movement. Mr.. Marshall has outlined
the work in an ingeniously constructed
circular addressed to local centurions.
1T is proposed to petition the state legis-

dollar given by the state, another dollar
will be contributed by riders OF Wheels.

state will be divided into districts, CO.

set apart for the election of state as
semblymen. Each of these districts
will be in chafg&pfa captain, who will
see to it that his Geutenants obtain the
signatures of every citizen who is inter-
ested in road improvement. 1t is: pro-
posed to have each assemblyman head
the list in his respective district, SO that
the Legislature will simply be petition
ing itself.
Every Wheelman and wheelWoman
who signs the petition agrees to give
one dollar for road building as soon as
the state has made the appropriat ton.
When the monstrous petition is COM
pleted, it is proposed to have 1000
wheelmen visit the state capital and
present the document to the legislature
in support of a good roads bill. Of
course the local centurions in all the
towns will lead their respective dele
cations to the capital. AS an aid to the
enterprise, State Centurion Marshall
has caused to be made a sketch of the
state in outline, with the proposed road
ways running through it. A cut of the
design is published herewith, and it
will be used on the backs of envelopes
by all enthusiastic cyclists and their
business friends. Speaking of the pro-
ject, State Centurion Marshall said:
members of the Wisconsin division
have long realized that only by active
work could anything be accomplished
IN the way of road improvements. In
such an enterprise we are dealing with
politicians and the only way to treat
with politician is to allow him to
make no promises. Performance is the
thing, and we propose to make the pol
iticians perform. All the talk in tile
world would not build a mile of road.
What you need is sand, and perhaps
gravel, not to disdain few rocks to
help ont the plan.
II have realized all along what s.
great task this is, but I think it can he
accomplished. Our petition cannot be
ignored by the legislature, when it lis
signed by all the members before it is
presented. 1t takes nervy politician
TO deny his own signature We who
ride only on the highways are compe-
tent to judge Of what is needed. We
propose to give dollar for dollar with
the state, and shame the common
wealth into an act of civilized progress.
The design l have made is for use on the
backs of envelopes, and we want all the
members of the Legislature to begin U.s.
ing these designs, even if we have to
present them with their stationery. We
do not expect to do much talking about
this matter, except where it will pro-
mote the project. What we need more
than anything else is little action."-
