France admittedly has the best

national roads constitute about 6h
per cent. of the 365 900 miles in the
whole country.
The national roads. maintained en-
tirely by the government, are con-

The United States has two and q
half times the population OF
France. and about six times the road

series Of national roads which would
connect our capitals and principal

with the 6h per cent. in France. bring

person In the United States about the
same as in France.
With our enormous resources await.

our road systems, there seems no rea.
son why we should not proceed with
the work of building national roads
writes Lewis r. Speare in the Illinois

The idea OF building up a political

bureau does not deserve considers

that IL is conducted economically and

is the valuation OF the railroads OF the

ACCEPTS
|. ENJOYS RESIGNATION
George Fred Williams May Be
Replaced by Garrett Drop
pers, Of Williams College.

President Wilson today accepted the
resignation OF George Fred Williams
as minister to Greece and Monte
negro. The resignation was laid be-
fore the President by Secretary OF
State Bryan at a Cabinet meeting.
BY following up this country's dis
avowal of responsibility for the
structures passed by the diplomat on
the conduct of affairs In the Balkans
by a prompt acceptance of the min
ister's resignation. the Administration
hopes to salye the wounded feelings
OF the European powers that came
within the scope of Mr.. Williams
scathing remarks.
i The letter of resignation. only q
paraphrase of which has been given
out by the State Department Is un-
derstood to bristlc with statements
which the minister had left unsaid
In his public utterances. In resign
ing. he gave as his reason that he
could not make comments he would
have liked to make because Of the
restrictions placed upon him by his
diplomatic position"
1t Is believed that Mr.. williams
resignation was sent by him from
Athens before he received the Presi-
dents request for mis- resignation. al
though he is believed to have been
warned OF what was coming.
That the Ill l-advised comments or the
minister might have created serious
diplomatic trouble but for the prompt
disavowa1 of responsibility by this
Government is easy to understand
from the fact that the European pow
ers regard their guardianship over
the Balkan provinces as the United
States regards the Monroe doctrine.
II was learned today that at the out
set OF his diplomatic mission-his first
Mr.. Williams requested that his ter
ritory be made to include Albania.
Because. OF the delicate situation IN
the Balkans. this request was re-
fused. Instead, the minister was
given permission by Mr. Bryan, who
had appointed him because Of long
standing mutual friendship, to make
private study of conditions In Al
bania. The ministers TRADE against
the powers was the result Of his OBJ
servations.
1t is understood that the President
is seriously considering the appoint
ment Of Prof. Garrett Droppers, OF
Williams College. as Williams sue
cessor. DR.. Droppers was originally
mentioned for the place.

CITIES PREPARE TO
AVERT THE PLAGUE

Although for forty-eight hours the
Public Health Service has received no
word from New Orleans on the bu-
bonic plague situation there. the Of
ficials here were directing. In other
parts of the country. preliminary cam
paigns to deal with any possible
spread of the disease.
From Cincinnati. st. Louis. and the
State board Of health of Maine today
came letters asking detail instructions
for dealing with any outbreak Of the
Infection. Past Assistant Surgeon
Flood, In charge Of the Ohio river in
yestisation at Cincinnati, said he
deemed Il advisable to organise the
health forces there 50 as to be pre-
pared for any emergency. Surgeon
white sent the same suggestion from
st. Louis.
Today the chief concern Of the serv-
ice was to guide the Mississippi valley
cities in safety measures. 1t was felt
that they were IN greater danger
than any other community because of
the possibility Of an infected rat be-
ing transported on river steamers.
Danger from this source has been
curbed, however. by the quarantine OF
outgoing vessels from New Orleans.
