WHAT THE BRITISH NAVY
IS DOING.

IS DOING.
The frank statement of the British
admiralty that it cannot spare warships
to protect all the great commercial liners
that are plying to and from British
ports, the statement having been made
| following the destruction of the Lusi-
| tania by German submarine, is credible
in view of the great and scattered naval
operations being conducted by the adj
miralty at one and the same time. The
| attempt to force the Dardanelles, while
shared with the French, devolves largely
upon the British because OF the far
greater preponderance of the British
/ navy; and to carry on that work net
| only are ships necessary to make the
attack but Others are necessary to sup
port the attack and protect the attack
ing ships from the rear These two
operations alone require the services OF
a goodsized navy, particularly as the
ships are dropping off now and then, as
in the case of the Goliath last Wednes-
day night through submarine attack.
Then. too, a large fleet is required to
watch the German navy which is said
to be cooped up in its naval base and
practically of no avail to the German
nation, barring, of course, the subma.
rines which are still doing business
against British commerce. In the third

is called upon to perform. there are

Undoubted progress has been made by
Black sea and capture Constantinople
as indicated by the fact that a British
submarine penetrated the 'narrows" in
the sea OF Marmora and was enabled
to sink three Turkish war vessels, two Of
which were gunboats. Coupled with the
progress of the land forces, this is very
significant and forebodes bad times
ahead for the sultan's domain.

The following is copy of let
tiers which Hon. 4. J. McBryde,
Jr., Preaident of the kentucky
Good Roads Association, is mail.
ing out to the Press of the State.
The letter in part is as follows:
"As you know, one hundred and
four counties in Kentucky have ap.
piled for and been granted State
aid. Under that law. the State
guarantees State supervision. The
law permits the head of the State
Good Roads Department to en-
ploy sucl assistants as may be
necessary for this work. AS yet
but three supervising engineers
have been employed by the State.
Four others have been lent by the
Federal government. and one of
them has been recalled. 1t is an
obvious impossibillty for six engin-
GERS to exercise effective supervis-
ion over road building going on
simultaneously in Io4 counties.
SO far the Governor has not been
brought to realize the necessity
of increasing the number of super
vising engineers, although the
money for their employment is
available from the State Aid Fund,
the Automobile License Fund and
the appropriation for the Good
Roads Department.
"All of us know that the failure
to have good roads in Kentucky
has not been due to lack OF funds
Kentucky for years past has been
spending s., ooo,o 900 a year on
roads. The fault has been lack OF
Intelligent and honest supervision
that the State aid law attempted to
supply. 1t can be supplied if the
Governor will give his consent to
the employment Of the necessary
engineers
The ne d for more road engin-
/ GERS in Kentucky, as expressed in
the above letter is matter of vital
importance and to secure the de-
sired results, the immediate and
hearty cooperation of the people
is necessary. Don't wait until TO-
morrow but arrange for some kind
of concerted action. This Is o.
importance to every section of our
county and the commercial clubs of
the county and citizens generally
should take heed to this timely
warning from our most worthy
Good Roads President before it is
too late.
