DISCUSSION Of MARKS
FOR LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Col. R. N. Harper's Suggestion Con-
sidered by Committee of
Business Men.

"Red, white and red" signs about
forty inches long and twenty inches
wide will be used as markers along the
route of the Lincoln highway leading
from Philadelphia to this city and
thence to Gettysburg, Pa. If the plans
Of Col. Robert N. Harper are adopted
by the committee of business men of
Washington, Baltimore and Frederick.
which was named at a meeting held
yesterday
Col. Harper believes it will be better
to have large signs containing instruc-
lions for both north and south travel
than to have separate signs on both
sides of the highway. He suggests
that the large signs bear two arrows,
beneath which instructions pertaining
to the routes of travel will be painted.
One arrow will point south and the 9TH
err north.
View of the Committee.
The committee was of the opinion the
signs should be separated and that they
should be located on both sides Of the
highway at frequent intervals. The
committee suggested that the signs from
Philadelphia south should read: Lin
coin Highway Feeder to Wilmington,
Baltimore and 100000 Lincoln Mem
orial in Washington, D. c.; to Lincoln
Highway Main Line"
Signs between Washington and Phil
adelphia going north should read
Lincoln Highway Feeder to Balti-
more, Wilmington. Chester and Lin
coin Highway at Philadelphia" Those
between Washington and Gettysburg
going north should read Lincoln
Highway Feeder to Frederick and
main line of Lincoln Highway at Get
tysburg." Those along the same route
going south should read Lincoln
Highway Feeder to Frederick AMI
100000 Lincoln Memorial at Wash
ington, D. c.
The committee probably will have
another conference before a final deci-
sion is reached concerning the wording
on the signs and their size and loca-
ton.

Much attention would be given to
that popular sentiment. the Secretary
said, in framing the naval program, but
more and stronger dreadnaughts also
are to be asked for. What the navy
seeks. he said, is to make the dread
naughts as invulnerable as possible.
IF we cannot make them invulner-
able" said Mr.. Daniels, I'VE want to
find out how to prevent torpedoes from
sinking them"
The first meeting Of the naval ad-
visory board, to be headed by Thomas

will announce the entire personnel of
the board, which will consist OF twenty

Confers With Secretary Daniels

Yesterday afternoon the President
had his first conference with Secretary
Daniels on national defense matters
connected with the navy. Mr.. Daniels
will be at the White House Monday to
discuss the same subject again. Mr..
DanielS has not yet completed the for
NAL report prepared by the general
board and advisory council of the Navy
Department.
Secretary Daniels declared today there
was an overwhelming sentiment in the
country generally for large increases in
submarines and aircraft.
The people in inland states. particu-
larry, seem to have come to the con-
clusion that there should be large in
creases in submarines and aeroplanes
for our naval defenses." said the Sec
rotary. Many of our citizens who do
not attach that Importance to dread
naughts which naval experts do, or who
doubt the navy judgment of the dread
naughts, are satisfied that the next naval
program should provide for liberal ex-
penditure for undersea ships and air.
