CROSS STATE
HIGHWAY
MOVEMENT IN GOOD SHAPE
commissioners to be Named by
President 0OWan.
To the Citizens of Tennessee:

10 the Citizens of Tennessee:
Gentlemen-In keeping with a
resolution, that was passed when
the Memphis-to- Bristol Highway
Association was formed, it is the
duty of the president of the asso-
citation to appoint commission of
eleven, whose duties it will be to
locate, survey, and superintend the
building of the highway.
wish to say to the various can
didates for the route through the
State that in making q selection of
the eleven men it is my intention
to be perfectly fair in the selection
to the end that each county will be
given due consideration and repre-
sentation so far as this number of
commissioners of the routes will
allow.
I wish to emphasize the fact that
when the commissioners are APP
pointed and they are called together
for the purpose of performing their
duties it is presumed as matter of
course that they will go into much
detail and take into consideration
all the questions pertaining to each
of the available routes. First, as
to directness; second, as to physi-
cal conditions; third, as to feasl-
bility, and fourth, the greatest in
ducements offered by any proposed
routes as to the amount of the va
rious subscriptions of money, work =,
etc, which is offered by any route.
For this reason I am issuing this
address to the public to say that it
bebooves each aspirant for the
translate highway at the earliest
date possible to complete the work
in the various counties and have
something tangible and bona fde
to offer as to why your particular
route should be selected, it being
understood that mere vel bal prom
ises will not be considered by the
commission, but each of the routes
must make show down in writing.
It is my intention to call this COM
mission together on or near the
25th of April, thus giving every
county plenty of time to complete
their work in every detail of the
question.
BY way of encouragement to our
citizens who are engaged in this
commendable enterprise, l wish to
say that the movement is now in
splendid shape and is being backed
up and endorsed by thousands of
the best ci,izens of Tennessee.
Hoping that we will succeed be-
yond our expectations, l am
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE A. GowAN,

use of the emergency clause by the
recent session of the legislature is as
much violation of the spirit of the
constitution as was the refusal OF the
standpat legislature six years ago to
submit the primary law when petit
toned by more than the required
number of voters. Every act of
which the recent legislature was
doubtful as to the justice of the thing
bore the emergency clause for the
purpose of preventing the law from
being referred to the people, which
amounts to violation of the constitu
tion as it prevents the voters from ex
ercising a constitutional right. Only
those laws necessary for the immedi-
ate preservation of the public peace,
health or safety, or support of the
government or it's public institutions
are entitled to the emergency clause.
1t is safe to say that not single law

The Argus Leader owes Senator
Crawford an apology in connection
with its editorial comment upon the
refusal of the senate to confirm Mr..
Hackett as postmaster at parker. In
its editorial columns the AL. charges
Senator Crawford with preventing
the confirmation. La its telegrdphic
news of the same date, March 9th, it
states the confirmation was held up
at the instance of Senator Gamble
who stated that Hackett was personal
ly obnoxious. 1t is true that Mr..
Crawford never went out of his way to
reward the newspapers for hearty
support, but it is just as well not to
make him bear burdens 70 which he
is not entitled.

 "AlI women and children, excepting those who were killed when their homes were burned are in refuge there.'' he said "They have escaped outrage but face starvation. In this district are 2,144 refugees and about 2,0Oo fled into Montenegro. Many live in caves and holes in the mountains They are reduced to chopping espho- dee leaves.
 Turkish vengeance is wreaked even upon the churches whichs are desc crated in every possible way.

Few young women who have fallen into the hands of the Turkish troops have escaped violation.

fsnecial from United Press.)


 Constantinople, July 31-Further or ders. today, dispatching additional troops and a number of high staff or ficers to Albania, tend to confirm re- ports that Turkey is actually pre- pairing for hostilities with Montene- gro or else is anticipating interven- tion in her campaign of subdu1ng Al banians, which in many quarters IS alleged to be a campaign of exter- imitation.
 Stung to anger by foreign criticism of Turkeys treatment of the Alban- ians a member of the Ottoman cab inet defended the course, of his gov ernment, today, in an interview.
 Ut is true" said the minister, that the Albanian rebellion was sternly re- pressed. This was unaoy9adaple. Ihe Albanians have been represented as a peaceful, pastoral, inoffensive people but they are in fact the most laWless and desperate of races. Having, how ever, practically crushed the rebellion. what was the Turkish government attitude toward them? Inspired by the governments of Russia. Austria, Montenegro and by the British Elm bassy in Constantinople, the Vienna, St. Petersburg and some of the Lon don newspapers have stated that II planned their extermination.''
 The minister declared that an "au- tonomy'' for the Albanians, guaran- teed by some foreign power, as asked by foreign critics, was out of the question and the sole purpose of such move was to intervene in Turk1sf affairs and ruin the young Turks be cause under them there is prospect o1 Turkey becoming great and powerful which Russia and Austria do not want

England Watching

 Deal With France
Especial fro n United Press.)


 London. July 31-It was learned un- officially, through the foreign office, that at a conference in Berlin, today. between M. Jules Cambon, French ambassador to Germany, and Foreign Secretary Kinderlin- Waechter, it was expected an agreement upon the Nor ocean question would be concluded be- tween France and Germany. It was said that France is prepared to ac- cept Germany's demands for "com- pensation' for giving the French a free hand in Morocco. but the exact extent of the final demands is not yet known.
 Indications point to an early set clement, of the German-Franco dis pute but there still is considerable un- certainty whether the agreement will be agreeable to England, which is most particular on account of her own Interest, about the re-adjustment of Territorial boundaries in Africa.
 - It is pointed out that, if England vetoes the agreement a fresh strain is inevitable Numerous indications to- day, that there may be some truth in the story published here that Ger smany demanded the dismissal of Chancellor Lloyd George for his Man sion House speech has tended still further to embitter the anti-Germar sentiment. hse aea rz2
