The road measures in North Carolina,
dating back to 1885, have resulted in max
ing the Tar Heel state famous for its
good roads, and this reputation has con-
fessedly aided in the upbuilding of the
state. The states good roads and the
energy of its mill owners have made 1t
one of the most prosperous states in the
Union. North Carolinians attribute no
little of this prosperity to their good
roads built by county convicts.

HAY REFUSES OFFER
Of Intervention.
Secretary Of State Believes
1t Is Too Early For The
Powers To Act.

Amicablc Intervention by the neutral
Powers will end the war in the East,
but not until it is made clear to all the
neutral Powers, including the United
States. that both Russia and Japan are
ready for such intervention. Our Gov
eminent does not believe that either
Russia or Japan is ready now to well
come even "a tender of good offices for
the ending of the war. and it will take
no part in any movement for that pur-
pose until il has direct assurances from
both Russia aud Japan that it would be
advisable to do SO.
Sooner n later, our Government be-.
lieves, such assurances will come from
both Russia and Japan. but they have
not come as yet aud our Government
will not act upon "a mere expression of
belief by any of the Foreign Offices of
Europe AS to what Russia and Japan
might welcome in this respect. Mean
while. our Government feels that il is
inopportunc even To discuss tho matter
because II Is likely Ia offend either Rus
STA or Japan, and especially Russia, be
cause of her reverses aud her sensitive
feeling toward the United States.
The position of our Government has
been made known to the British Govern
ment and to all others interested Inas-
much as no formal action has been tax.
en-. all the discussion of the matter being
informal and tentative, in advance of
dispatch writing and by means of CON
versation, it was possible for the State
Department to make diplomatic denial
(made to turn upon the formalities) that
steps were in contemplation to bring
about intervention for peace
The fact remains. however, that the
representatives of the neutral Powers in
London have been informally sounded as
TO taking such steps. and that though
they may be deferred now. they may be
taken before many weeks pass Ii is a
delicate and difficult task and must be
handled most automatically Even Lord
Lansdowne's tentative and preliminary
inquiries, made informally, if not un-
officially, in accordance with diplomatic
practice III advance of any formal com.
munlcations. may make fresh trouble
between Russia and England, as we'll as
other countries. Publicity will delay
success. The unfavorable attitude of
our Government will, of itself, prevent
any immediate action.
