GoOd Roads In France,

Recently party of Scotch road sur
veyors investigated the condition of
the roads in France and have made
report which is interesting to people
Of all lands. There are six classes of
roads in France, two of them, the ma
tional and the department routes, being
maintained wholly at the national ex-
pense and the others by the communes
traversed by them. The government
also aids in part to maintain ne1ghDor-
hood roads of the first class. Neigh
borhood roads of the second and the
third class and purely local or rural
roads are kept up by the local commu-
mites, but only the rural roads are eX-
empt from government control The
process of painting the road surface
with common tar has been used in
heavy traffic there is carried on with
large wagons having broad tired wheels
from six 10 seven feet in diameter.
The horses are plainly shod to avoid the
cutting or the SURFACE OF tue rOuu WIFI
metal heels and toes. On this account
there is little wear and tear on the
roads by teams. But the automobiles
in France have proved a serious men
ace to the roads, since the suction of
the tires displaces the binding material
and exposes the stone underneath.
French roads are little troubled with
mud. but are injured by drought and
the dust nuisance is aggravated by
the extensive automobile traffic.
In France it has been found that the
convexity of the road service Is often
too great for the newer and faster
modes of travel. This is especially
noticeable at the curves, where autos
tend to skid. On this account it Is be-
coming the practice in road construc-
ton and renovation to raise the sides
of the curves above the center as in
railway and bicycle tracks.

The Cars Dislike of Witte.

The personal powers of Nj. White
will be subjected to another severe
test now that he returns to st. Peters
burg wearing new laurels. The world
has taken the great Russian statesman
mainly on his reputation as liberal
progressivist. At last he has been
seen right in the crucible and comes
out bigger than before. This will not
please the car and the reactionary
party around the throne. He has been
hated at home for the very qualities
and deeds which give him fame abroad.
He has revolutionized Russia while in
the confidence and pay of the ear.
But Witte has not been an under
hand reformer He has worked for
greater Russia just as Japan's great
statesman Ito worked for greater ia
pan Like Ito, White developed the
industries Of the nation, put business
ahead of pleasure and mobile" idleness
and dissipation. He built factories, and
the factories built up towns, and the
towns gathered in workingmen who de-
manded the rights the peasants dare
not ask for. This was the price of ma
tional progress, and the autocrats don't
like Witte on that account This mere
subject has always been stubbornly
independent in the very teeth of the
car and will hardly prove less so now
that the western world, which is his
model, has approved of him at close
view

The best results in bread making are
obtained from using Peach Blossom
flour. Ask for it and take no other.
You may be urged to take something
else which is represented to be just as
good, at the same price. This is an old
trick The reason for this is that there
is larger profit on the other Hour.
Peach Blossom is sold at smaller mar
gin of profit, but at the same price as
inferior grades. 1t took the prize over
all other hours at the Worlds fair at
st. Louis. Always call for Peach
Blossom, and take no other.

PEACE TALK
NOW PREVAILS.
RUSSIA SIGNIFIES WILLINGNESS
TO HEAR JAPAN'S TERMS.

Not DESTROYS Of Yielding Indemnity or
Territory--Linevitch Continues His
Observation-Disclosures Receives Jap
anese Attention--Russia Has Lost
500 coo Men in War--Both Com
batants Place New Loans.
Though diplomatic circles preserve care
ful silence, it seems to be true that in
some way Russia has signified her willing
ness to consider peace with japan. What
channel the negotiations will take, or
what terms will be reached is all matter
OF speculation TO the outside world. The
friends Of peace at the czar's council table
seem to have gained his ear, while the war
contingent is for the moment in the back
ground. 1t is intimated that Russia would
be willing to retire from Manehuria, to
see Japan in possession OF Port Arthur
and the nearby coast, TO abandon the
Eastern Chinese railway and to grant
Japan preponderance in Korea, but she
objects to paying any indemnity or to
surrenderiag any strictly Russian soil. II
Is unlikely that this would satisfy Japan,
after her great outlay Of men and money.
She may limit Russia's naval expansion In
the Pacific so as to secure a pledge Of
peace.
There have been no hostilities the past
week. Linevitch's army has continued its
retirement northward, and the japanese
are not now pressing the pursuit. Small
fianking forces Of Japanese are giving the
Russians some uneasiness. IL y consld-
cred probable that Gen. kurOki viii move
his army toward Vladivostok and invest
il by land, while Oyama, with the armies
of Nogi, Oku and Nodzu, follows Line
witch.
The latter armies seem to be still mainly
IN the vicinity Of Mukden, where they are
gathering and sorting the immense cap
lures Of stores and materials, and attend
ing 10 the prisoners. The Russians admit
the sacrifice OF commissairat stores valued
at 81 10000. Boots and clothing OF which
the army stood in great need were lost.
An official statement OF the troops, guns
and supplies transported over the Siberian
railroad since the beginning OF the war
shows that up to March " there had been
despatched 13,0s7 officers, t6l ,4ot men,
146. 40S horses and 1921 guns. As there are
now not over $4,000 troops under Line
witch, il is apparent that the Russian loss
in killed, wounded and missing Is close 20
half million men.
The last squadron Of the Pacific fleet has
passed through the Suez canal TO join
Roiestyensky, who has left Madagascar
on his way, il is supposed, 10 the war
zone.
Both Russia and Japan have placed
heavy war loans the past week. The hus-
sian loan OF SiO0, 100000 was taken by
French bankers at about SO. London and
New York divided equally the japanese
loan OF $50, 10000, which is being rapidly
subscribed by investors at about 80.
