TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF PEACE
Germany Celebrates Twenty.hfth An.
niversary OF Emperor's Access.
sion to Throne

btIllll, JUNE no t"Vhty III
anniversary of the accession of EN-
peror W''''am to the imperial throne
was celebrated today throughout the
German empire as a general holiday.
The COMMUNICATION. which had
been deferred from its actual date
out of respect to the memory Of the
emperor's father, Frederick, comedies
with the forty.second anniversary OF
the triumphal return of his grandfa-
Their at the head Of his victorious ar
my after the Franco Prussian war and
was naturally marked by considerable
military display.
Emphasis. however, was laid also
on the peaceful aspects of the emper-
CTs quarter century reign-industria
and civic developments and the ma,
terial prosperity of the country.
The presentation of an address from
the American Peace society by An.
drew Carng gle, r. S. Brookings OF
81. Louis and j. Schmidtiapp Of Gin.
cinnati gave the emperor an opportu.
nifty of bringing out this aspect OF the
occasion. He responded to Andrew
Carnegie's congratulations on the com
pletion of his % years peaceful reign
with an emphatic, Il hope we shall
have % years more of peace"
Americans Present Address
One of the first delegations receiv-
ed by Emperor William today con-
graduated him on the attainment OF
the twenty-ffth anniversary OF his
reign was that headed by Andrew
Carnegie.
The Americans presented to tbs
emperor an address signed by a large
number of their country men. The
address was in part as follows
His imperial majesty, the German
emperor:
ION behalf of organizations and so
cieties which represent the effort o
American citizens of every section
creed and race to advance the caus
of civilization, we venture to expires
to your imperial majesty our congra

less ways, in none more SO than
the maintenance of % years OF unbr,
ken peace between Germany and tn
other nations of the world.
"The memorable words Of your m
jesty shortly after ascending II
throne, The peace of my country
sacred to me-" came both from Il
head and from the heart. Sacred /

prosperity, OF the German people har

NDlAN railway men look upon
flrst-class passengers as a neces-
sary evil, and one general manager
Is quoted as saying that not only
was the first-class traffic Of his
line not remunerative, but that 1t
would actually pay to give each pas
senger that presented himself at the
booking Office 20 rupees (s7) to travel
In lower class. Since he insists on
travelling first class, however, he is ac-
cepted with very good grace. and in
spite Of the fact that he is such an ex-
pensive luxury to the railway COM
pany he Is, considering the money
paid, quite the best-treated passenger
In the world, writes l.. R. Freeman in
Los Angeles Times.

States the average first-class fares are

most universal IS pies e cents) q

road maintenance reduced the cost of
hauling 30 per cent, the saving would
cover the cost of maintenance. In my
opinion, the adoption of my plan
would double the total value of farms
and reduce the cost Of road hauling rs
per cent.
"As a plain business proposition,
expenditures on road construction and
maintenance offer larger returns on
the investment than anything else of
which l am aware.
"In the construction Of permanent
highways, skilled supervision is very
important. An eminent railroad build
er has been quoted as saying that
there are not ten men in the United
States qualified to take charge of a
large project for highway improve
ment. Whether this be strictly true

lions would be spent at the rate of
about forty millions a year for fifty
years for road maintenance. The an
nual maintenance fund proposed is
equal to 4 per cent of the construc-
ton cost.
This plan contemplates that the bill
lion-dollar construction fund shall be
apportioned among the states upon
the basis of area, population, assessed
valuation and road mileage and that
the several states shall deposit in the
United States Treasury their fifty
year per cent bonds for the amount
due them and the government loan
the states the par value thereof for
road construction, the government
raising its funds by the sale of it's
fifty-year non-taxable per cent bonds.

ion of those in Pullmans and are much
simpler to manipulate than the latter.
There is always good-sized table,
either folding or stationary, between
the heads Of the berths, and at the
foot of each, on many trains. roomy
arm chair. Racks and hooks are pro-
vided in abundance. The finish, as a
rule, is in plain hardwood paneling,
and the upholstering light but durable.
Soft cushions are undesirable on ac-
count Of the summer heat, and plush
and hangings would succumb quickly
to insect pests and dust.
All the mail trains are electrically
lighted, that medium being especially
preferable to acetylene because Of the
fact that it may also be used for the
indispensable fans. Each compart-
ment has two strong incandescents
in the ceiling and reading light at
the head of each berth. An ingenious
contrivance Of green baize over a
folding steel frame-an arrangement
which I do not recall having seen in
America-enables one to shade or
illuminate any portion Of the compart-
ment he desires. An electric fan is ar.
ranged so as to play upon each berth
at the will of its occupant. Auto
matte coolers" usually variants Of
system Of allowing water to percolate
slowly down specially made fiber win,
dow curtains, are found In many Of
the trains and for come of the desert
runs smoked-glass windows are in
stalled to lower the glare.

Of eastern and western fares in the

Coaches Are Wide.
The center. corridor car of the uni

side corridor coaches have only re-
Gently been on-by the Bombay. Bar
oda and Central India, I believe-as
an experiment The cars are, there
fore. all Of the side-door. compartment
class. On account of the extremely
broad gauge-flve feet, six inches-oi
all Of the Indian trunk lines the
coaches are somewhat wider than one
OF our Pullmans. This makes for a
decided roominess in the compart-
ments, these being, on rough esti-
mate, from 80 to $50 per cent. larger
than the average Pullman stateroom
and incomparably more spacious than
the regulation take-down-and-make.up
berths which the majority Of travellers
must be satisfied with. The berths,
which run longtitudinally, are mostly
IN the form of sofas that can be pulled
out and broadened for sleeping. These
sofas, though somewhat inconvenient
for sitting upright upon, the back be-
Ing turned to the windows. are the
acme OF comfort for Longing.
The sofa berths are built high
enough to allow large cabin trunk to

count Of the lightness Of the first

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS
Proposition Is Made to Expend
Three Million Dollars.

Extensive and systematic road i'm

the purpose of plan for national
and state cooperation in a three bill
lion dollar expenditure for good roads,
submitted by Jonathan Bourne, Jr., to
the Joint Congressional Committee on
Federal Aid in the Construction of
Post Roads, of which Bourne is chair
man.
One billion of this sum would be
spent in a period of from five to ten
years for construction and two bill

or not, certain it is that there is no
adequate supply of men trained for
this important work. The American
people are about to enter upon ex-
tensive highway construction and 1t
behooves them to see that compe-
tent men are ready to take charge.
Establishment of national academy
of highway and bridge engineering is
one feature of my plan. The instruc-
tion would be of technical nature,
in the academy, and part of it of a
practical nature, in the field. l have
in mind a two-year course for stu
dents who have already completed
courses in civil engineering, chemis-
try, etc. Two hundred graduates each
year from such an institution would
supply the need for trained supervis

with the excess 1 per cent interest
paid by the state to the government
over what the government pays on
its bonds and allowing per cent in
terest compounded annually on said
excess 1 per cent, a sinking fund is
established from which the govern
ment pays off the bonds at the end of
fifty years and the state is relieved
OF payment Of principal on its bonds.
The government will also, under
this plan, pay to each state annually
for road maintenance an amount equal
to 2 per cent of the amount of bonds
on deposit, provided the state ex-
pends like amount for the same pur-
pose
The plan provides for cooperation
between the states and federal gov
ernment, but avoids subservience Of
the state to any federal bureau. It
suggests the establishment of a ma
tional school of highway and bridge
engineering in Washington SO as to
create a supply Of trained specialists
from whom the states could draw for
state and district highway engineers.
In statement In support of his plan
former Senator Bourne says:
Expenditure Of three billions Of
dollars by the government and the
several states for highway improve
ment is at first thought 6. startling
proposition, even though the expendi-
ture be distributed over a period of
fifty years, but when we consider the
magnitude Of the interests affected, It
will be seen to be a wise investment.
There are in the United States
some 890.000,000 acres of farms worth
about $4,000, 100000. There are some
22,000,000 working horses and mules

Room and Fresh Air.
Those first-hatched chicks are not
so attractive as the fluffy babies, but
they are worth more at present, and
should be given all the nourishing
food they will eat. After a chick is
four weeks old it has a fairly good
hold on life, and will live on scant ra
tions, but it will not thrive.
Crooked breastbones, crooked backs
malformed combs, runts and cripples
come from chicks that are neglected
Some breeders seem unable to raise
chicks Of different ages and have
them all thrifty; they begrudge the
feed which the older chicks steal from
the younger; the young chicks are
trampled on by the older.
Unless arrangements are made fol
chicks Of different ages, It is best tc
hatch as many as possible at one
time, Gull the weaklings, and give the
rest the food they need. Grow a few
chickens to the best they are capable
Of, rather than many fairly good
ones. If you don't believe that chick
ems need the best food, and plenty OF
food, while they are growing, try six
or eight this year.
Give them all they want of a va
riety Of food, plenty Of room an air
and compare the average chicken OF
the flock in the fall.
