ENGLAND's IRE AROUSED.
Army Anger the People-Wnrn-
Ing of London Times.

London, Jan. 1.-THE anger of the
English people is rising rapidly with
the repeated attacks on the British
army made in public debate in the
German re;chstag. The Times this
morning, after declaring that seldom
if ever has friendly nation been so
grossly insulted, warns the kaiser
that the limit of British patience will
be overstepped if Chancellor Won Bue-
low continues to wipe his feet on the
kings uniform. The Times says:
Seldom, If ever. has friendly nation
been SO grossly insulted In a foreign par
lament, and never within our memory has
Insult met with such mild rebuke from the
representative of friendly power with
whom he processes to desire the mainte-
nance of good relations as Count Won Bue-
Won Sonnenberg. Even brigands and thieves
nay know how to die. What we have a
right to expect from the minister of a
friendly state is definite reputation of
the calumnies uttered within his hearing.
with regard, not to the British soldiers
dead, but to those who are living, we must
state frankly and emphatica!ly that the
limit Of British patience will be over
stepped II Count Won Buelow imagines he
can court British friendship and at the
same time use the kings uniform, in which
our k!nsmen are fighting honorably in
South Africa, in order to wipe his parlia-
mentary feet upon it."

BUILD BETTER ROADS.
Report of Agricultural Department
Officials Shows Great Inn
prOvement.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The report of
Hon. Martin Dodge, director of the
office of public road inquiries of the
agricultural department., for 1901 has
just been issued. Mr.. Dodge says that
the work of his Office during the year
was continued along the lines laid
down in previous reports. Representa-
tives of the Office visited nearly all
the states and made scientific inves-
legations regarding local roads, road
materials, etc. Several state legisla-
lures We're furnished assistance in
framing new laws. Farmers organ
izations, farmers institutes, business
organizations, schools, colleges petit
tioning for cooperation and advice
were accommodated as far as the re-
sources of the office permitted. New
er before in the history of this coun-
try, says the report, has there been so
much interest manifested in the sub
ject of road building, and more actual
work in that line was done last year
than ever before. 1t is the intention
of the director, in continuing the
work during the ensuing year, to en-
large it's scope so far as the appropri-
alton will permit.
