making ! grand total Of -, ,767, no,
which was raised BY direct taxation
and expended on the rural highways.
Added to this. many townships and
counties raised money by bonding and
many public spirited citizens gave free

low estimate to say that It least seven
millions Of dollars were expended On
Michigan's roads during the past year.
While this has resulted in the build
ing Of more miles Of excellent high
ways than were ever before built In 2
singlesyeaf, there is still much to be
desired. The people want more good
roads and want alNof the roads cared
for better than they have been in the
past.
Last year on June 9th the Huron
Shore Road Associ. tion observed the
first s'Road Bee Day" ever held in the
state. It was q success; wet pieces OF
road were drained; logs, roots, stumps
and stones were removed from the
roadway; bad stretches Of clay were
sanded; bad pieces Of sand were
clayed; gravel was hauled; road drags
were set to work and altogether 80
much enthusiasm was aroused that
many farmers put in full week in
stead Of one day. BY this concerted
effort some zoo miles Of highway in
eastern Michigan. which in some places
was very bad, was made into very
passable road.
At the request Of the Michigan Good
Roads Association, the Huron Shore
Road Association and the West Mich
igan Pike Association, and to the end
that this good work. may extend over
the state and the people receive the
benefits, do ask that the people Of

Villa on Way to Peace Conference
City to Seize carranza Leaders.
Eagle Pass, Tex, Oct. 21.-General
Francisco Villa, with an army various
ly estimated at from $4,000 to 10000
men, is reported on his way to Aguas
Calientes to capture the Carranza gen.
erals and leaders in conference there
with representatives Of all the factions
in Mexico.
General Zapata, according to advices
from Mexico City. is cooperating with
Villa in the coup, and is rushing his
force of brigands against the capital
city. Villas move against the scene
of the peace conference is as unex-
pected as it is startling.
1t follows assurances by Villa that
his revolt was at an end. At Aguas
Calientes are practically all Of the
leaders and supporters Of Carranza.
Villas army is reported to be within
an hours march OF Aguas Calientes.
To oppose him there are Carranza
troops at Monterey and Saltillo. but it
would take several days to get him to
Aguas Calientes.
Border reports that General Villa
had arrested several Carranza dele
gates already lacked definite denial
from Villa agents. The unexpected
approach of the northern leader to the
conference city at the head OF troops
has caused much anxiety to the Car
rama followers.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-With an address Of
welcome by President Wilson, with
former President Taft in the chair
and the entire Supreme Court sitting
as guests of honor, the American Bar
Association began its annual session
here.
In his introduction of President VIII
son Mr.. Taft pledged the associations
earnest cooperation and its deepest
personal confidence in the Presidents
ability and purpose to guide the ship
OF state safely through the European
crisis. Mr.. Taft declared that the
American people were back of the in
ternational situation and that he had
the confidence of the nation.
President Wilson's response was
that his strength rested in the conf
dence of the people. He pleaded for
the "humanizing of the law" in this
time Of international crisis, not only as
respected international law, but as to
municipal law. He said the world was
now Stirred to its depths" but that
the best course for nation to pursue
was the disinterested part. He added
that the unsettled world conditions
made a good time for freeing the law
from the dry consideration of cold
precedents and injecting into it more
of the viewpoint of justice for the or
dinary man.
THE opinion of the world is the mis-
tress OF the world; and the processes
of International law are the slow proc
esses by which opinion works it's WILL"

General fighting has been in
progress between the Austro- Ger
man allies and the Russians in
Russian Poland and in Austrian
Galicia during the last week. 1t
is reported that about a million
men are engaged on each side.
The Germans and Austrians
drove the Slavs out of western
Galicia and caused them to re
treat northward in Poland to the
Vistula river. But here the Rus

Notwithstanding that the fighting
in the eastern theater is extensive

important Change Soon.
All the signs indicate that a change
is impending in the protracted
struggle in northern France, where for
weeks the hostile armies have faced
each other in such strongly entrench-
ed positions that neither has been able
to advance except at enormous cost.
The principal effect of the mutual
flanking operations has been to extend
the battle lines without either side
finding a weak spot
The German army which besieged
Antwerp is now free and the invading
forces have been strengthened other
wise for an assault against some point
in the extended battle front. Rigid
secrecy is preserved as to the point
chosen for this offensive movement.

the nature of the stroke which unmis-

Regular traffic on the main lines in
Germany has been suspended the last

All the Austro-German attempts to

thus far failed and they have been
