FINE ROADS, new
YORK ITO CAPITAL
Much Work Done in 1914 on the
Southern Trans Continen-
tai Route

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s.-The nation.
al capital and New York city are at
last linked together by q good high
way. The competition OF the short
stretch OF road between Principle Fur
mace and North East. Nd. makes It
possible for the first time for motor
lists to travel between the two cities
over nearly perfect roadway. This
part Of the route would have been
completed last year but for q reloca-
ton which was not contemplated
when the contract was first let. An
other relocation was made near Kings-
vile which materially improves this
route by the elimination OF two hills.
Transcontinentalists who plan TO
use southern route one way win ind
that great deal of work has been
done during 1914 and much. better
conditions prevail than is generally
supposed. The Washington-R Richmond
Atlanta route 10 completed except for
two miles Of road between Pohick and
Lawton and about eight miles In
Prince William county, While no
stGte, county or federal funds are
available to complete this road. the
automobile clubs of Virginia are raising
money by private subscription and the
road win be In good condition before
summer. The United States ONCE Of
Public Roads has undertaken the
maintenance of this highway ana has
appointed three Of fits engineers to
advise N 10 the best means for keep
ing this road In good condition.
Until such time a. the two links In
Virginia are completed. motorists will
probably use the Shenadoah valley.
The Valley Pike between Winchester
and stanton has been much improv-
ed during 1914 and II now in better
condition than ever before. Connect
Ing with this pike, the stone road
through BerTyville, Halltown and Hag-
erstown 10 In splendid shape. and
there Is hardly foot Of the road from
baltimore via Frederick. Hagerstown.
Berryville TO Staunton m poor condf
tion
West OF the Mississippi much mon
ey has already been spent TO make .
southern route practicable The
state of Arkansas has let contracts
for ten miles of road to connect with
the bridge just north Of Memphis and
IL miles TO connect with the ferry
from Trotter's Landing TO Helena
This Is particularly pleasing. as that
part Of the southern national high
way has always been IN very bad con-
dition. New Mexico highway ofncials
are cooperating with the road asso-
Citations and have constructed good
high ~ between Las Cruces and
Deming. This considerably shortens
the route 70 Phoenix. Arix.. and elm
mates the poor stretch into Ri Paso.

says Deputy Pierre Masse, reporter for

Der. Those laws he adds, will car
~ such heavy appropriations as to
exercise a greater influence social

Two important reforms are proposed
in pension bills that the committee
has reported favorably. The pen
sions of widows are to be increased
proportionately to the number Of
orphans and pensions will be grant
ed to mothers for the loss of sons who
were their main support.
I The rates provided for the new law
are from 563 francs ($112) FOR widows
OF private soldiers running from that
figure through the various grades up
to $3.50 francs ($1050) year for the
widow of a general of division; these
figures being subject to increase in

days.
I learned that our professional men

admiration at the way the American
divers worked m spite Of the many DIFF

PARIS, France.-The subjoined GU

official-looking folio paper without any

the Agence Havas, the principal news
agency in France:
"The unItsd States az the Prize fer
Settlement Of the Present European
Conflict.
at is stated on high authority that
suggestions have been made In the
diplomatic circles Of European chan.
celleries declaring that the easiest So
luton and the one most acceptable to
all the warning nations would be the
partition among them OF the United
States of America. The United States
Of America are a most inviting prize
as compensation for the sacrifices rem
dered by these nations, and an ar
rangement on the basis of the respec-
tive relations OF the different nations
is surprisingly practicable.
SO far from being a visionary
scheme for solution of this great
world conflict, the fact is only too ap-
parent that only q small part of the
effort expended in the sanguinary
struggle now raging would have suf-
feed to satisfy all nations in their re-
spectiye amhitions

prise chat fhis idea Of the partition
