Although admittedly rae Arkansas Supreme Court decision which knock. ed out the bond issue plan to build he wagon road approaches and via ducts to the lew Harahan bridge 'cross the Mississippi at Memphis ai- so knocked tho breath out of Critter- den County officials and property own ers, they do not propose to delay a month in finding Eew way to finance tte improvement
 There seems to be q general mis- understanding abo4t the effect of the supreme court decision" said Judge ]. B. Thompson. county Judge of Cri.- 'endent county We had reached an agreement with the railroads to build he wagonway and rootwavs across he bridge on the basis of a 52-foot stage of water. and this will be done
 At the end Of the bridge approach proper the wagonway will be 12 feet above the ground. What we proposed
 10 do was to build a concrete and steel viaduet from that point back to the levee, a distance of two and half miles. to give clearance to a stage Of i2 feet of water
 The estimated cost Of this viaduct Was from s25e.H00 to s325.0 We had planned to issue s350.000 bonds. and to take $24000 year from the county road fund to retire the bonds. Fully % per cent of the people were in fa- vor of this plan because 1t gave us m opportunity to do something with out increasing onr taxation
 Within the next few days We will hold meeting in Marion to decide definitely how we shall proceed am quite sure. however. that We will rcoceed to organize road improvement districts under the Alexander acr. This provides for betterment tax and applies alike to land and rail. roads. But it means an increase in taxation. and that is the thing we were trying to get away from.
 We probably shall organize fouv road improvement districts. one par allel to each of the four lines of rall- road in CrIttendent County. The districts are organized by petitions, handled through the county court, and there is net the slightest doubt that practically everyone in the county will sign the petitions.

Expects Prompt Action.

The government and people of tke United States look to the imperial German government for just, prompt and enlightened action in this vital matter with the greater confidence because the United States anl Ger many are bound together not only by special ties of friendship, but also by the explicit stipulations of the treaty of 1928 between the United States and the kingdom of Prussia.
 Expressions of regret and offers of reparation in case of the destruction of neutral ships sunk by mistake while they may satisfy international obligations if no loss of life results, cannot justify or excuse a practice, the natural and necessary effect of which is to subject neutral nations and neutral persons to new and iia- measurable risks.
 The imperial German government will not expect the government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the performance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its tree exercise and enjoyment

There was recently published fE the newspapers of the United States, regret to inform the imperial Ger man government. formal warning. parporting to come from the imperial German embassy at Washington. ad- dressed to the people of the United States and stating in effect that any citizen of the United States who ex ercised his right of free travel upon the high seas would do so at his peril if his journey should take him within the zone of waters within which the imperial German navy was using submarines against the con. merce of Great Britain ana France, notwithstanding the respectful but very earnest, protest of tho govern Inent Of the United States.
 Surprising lrreeularity" of Embassy.
 .sI do not refer to this for the pur- pose of calling attention of the im- perial German government at this time to the surprising irregnlarity Of q communication from the mpeUal German embassy at Washington all dressed to the people of the United only for the purpose of pointing out that no warning that an unlawful and inhumane act would be committed can possibly be accepted as ar excuse or palliation of that act or as an abatement of the responsibility for its commitment.
 Kong acquainted as this govern ment has been, with the character Of the imperial German government and with the high principles of equity by which in the past they have been ac- tuated and guided, the government of the United States cannot believe the commanders of the vessels which committed these acts of 1awlessness did so except under misapprehnn sion of the orders issued by the i'm. per1al German naval authorities It takes it for granted that, at least Within the practical possibilities Of every such case, the commanders even of submarines were eynected to 1o hOIHihH tlldl Mouiu 1HNOiNe t0e lies of noncombatants or the safety of neutral ships even at the cost of failing of their object of capture or destruction It confidently expects, therefore, that the imperial German government will disavow the acts of which the government of the United States complains; that they will make reparation so Tar as reparation IS possible for injuries which are without measure and that they will take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so obviously subversive of the principles Of war fare for which the imperial German government in the past have so wisely nd
