War CORRESPONDENTS
require $4,000 BOND
Government Will Surround Newspaper
Men Who Follow Army in Field
with Barrier of Orders.
MUST TAKE OATH OF LOYALTY

Mindful of the numerous embarrass-
ments occurring during the Spanish war.
the War Department has prepared regu-
lations concerning newspaper corre-
spondents with the army in the field.
In order to control the presence of
newspaper men at the front, with re-
garc to the clear recognition OF the
great public function which the press has
to perform and the necessity that there
shall rot be an abuse of publication
which might help the enemy, it has
been decided to require more elaborate
credentials than in any previous war in
which this country has been engaged.
The newspaper man who desires to be
n correspondent with the army must de-
post a certified check for $1,000, against
which he may draw for subsistence sup
plies at the commissary or for any part
of his equipment. He must also provide
a bond in the sum of 5000 for his good
conduct, which in the case of forfeiture
may be transferred to any charity the
Secretary of War may designate.
The correspondent will also take a mil
itary oath of loyalty in the usual form.
He must agree to abide by all the regu-
lations laid down for his guidance Only
one correspondent will be permitted to
accompany the same field army. Men
who have adventure rather than actual
service as journalists in mind will not
be received.
No photographers for the press viii,
be allowed with the army. There will
be an official army photographer whose
films will be sent to Washington prompt
ly and prints viii be furnished to the
press at a slight cost.
II dispatches are distorted in the Of
fee of publication, or language or ex-
pressions are used conveying a hidden
meaning which would tend to mislead or
deceive the censor. such an act will be
held to be a violation of the regulations.
punishable by forfeiture Of privileges and
the bond filed with the War Depart
ment Correspondents are to be subject
to all medical regulations Of the army.

ATLANTIC FLEET WILL
SAIL THROUGH CANAL
Navy Department Plans Big Pacific
Coast Demonstration to Show
Japan Size of Our Guns.
WHEN MEXICAN CRISIS PERMITS

Plans are being made by the Navy
Department to send the entire Atlantic
Fleet through the Panama Canal as soon
as conditions in Mexico warrant the re-
moval Of the warships from the eastern
coast.
The purpose OF this move is said to be
TO assemble the whole naval strength
Of the United States in the Pacific to test
the usefulness of the Panama Canal
and at the same time to demonstrate to
the Japanese how formidable our navy
Is. Leaders in the administration de-
MED that the latter reason had been given
any consideration. but II is generally be-
lieved that the cruise to the Pacific would
have decided effect on public sentiment
in Japan.
Col. Cocktails announced a shrort time
ago that the largest battleship in the
fleet could safely pass through the canal
by the middle of May. 1t Is expected
the canal will be opened 10 the COM
merce of the world by July /. and Col
Cocktails says il would be possible TO
open II today IL the occasion demanded.
but in all probability the first large num-
Der of ships to use the canal will be the
Atlantic Fleet.
The report of the cruise to the Pacific
by the Atlantic Fleet was learned upon
the return of Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Franklin ID. Roosevelt from the
Pacific Coast, where he has spent some
time in making arrangements for the
handling OF a big feet, arranging coaIing
and docking facilities.
During his trip Mr.. Roosevelt arranged
wireless service from Alaska to the
southern end of California and made
arrangements for the strengthening of
the government wireless plant at San
Diego so that continuous communication
can be maintained with American ships
in Mexican waters.
He also visited the Mare Island Navy
Yard. inspected two ships in the process
OF construction and established an ad-
vance base for marines on the coast SINH
lar to the base at Pensacola.

PICKING SUCCESSOR TO BAER.
Drexel-Morgan Interests Certain I'd
influence Selection.

Philadelphia. April Sin financial cir
cles it is recognized that the Drexel-
Morgan interests will select the man or
men to take the place made vacant by
the death OF George F. Baer.
Among those identified with the Read
ing and Jersey Central who are regarded
as probable successors to Mr.. Baer IL
the controlling interests decide not to
go outside, Theodore Voorhees,, Of the
Philadelphia and Reading, and W. G.
Besler, vice president of the Jersey Gen.
trail, are mentioned.
1t has been suggested that the diff
ferentiation between the railway and
coal companies might be made sharper
by having different presidents.
In such a case an outside man most
probably would be chosen president of
the Reading Company and also of the
Central Railroad Company of New Jer-
sey. Theodore Voorhees, would almost
certainly be made president OF the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway Com
pany, and W. J. Richards, the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany.
Mr.. Baer's funeral will be held to-
morrow.

All talk and no work will not make

If you want to know If Good Roads
are Good Things, ask horse.
III the roads around a town are bad,
II might as well be on an island.
Good Roads bring a better school
life, closer church life. a happier
social life.
Good Roads are easy on you, easy
on your horses, easy on the wagon,
easy on the harness.
IL is TO Good Roads that this coun-
try must look largely for its future
growth and development
You can have any kind of road you
are willing TO pay for. The poorer
they are the more you pay.
Good Roads mean that you can
come to town with twice the load, I'm
half the time that you used to.

hard road is nearer than farm five
miles from town on a soft road.
Good Roads will increase Health,

Religion, Morality. Civilization and
Prosperity.

farmer that he will kill his horse to
get there.
The better the roads to a farmers
residence, the closer il brings his farm

Of same.
Good Roads will improve every
condition of rural life; and they will
cost you no more than poor roads are
costing you now.
Good Roads will encourage the
country folks to come to town. and

Character Counts

A few years ago James Stillman,
then president of the National City
Bank, New York. said to friend
who asked him If there was any mini
mum required by the bank of which
he was then president in order TO open
an account i'm that bank, that he
might gladly accept the account Of
the man who had only one dollar with
which 10 start; for the mans char
acter might be worth far more to his
bank than a deposit OF a good many
thousand dollars
Furthermore Mr.. Stillman said that
i'm his long experience he had learned
that there is only one real criterion of
success and that is character.-Bank
