Newport News While there is ab- solutely no information forthcoming from official sources. and up to this time the expected move has not been taken, general belief is that the Cor man auxil1aIv cruiser prinz Eitel Friedrich does not intend to intern here
 It is rumored that the delay of Commander Thierichens in leaving the harbor ts not due to uupreparcd- ness on the part Of his vessel but to the failure of the United States gov. ernment to proida warships to protect the Eitel in territorial waters.

THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE

On the brick road there have been de-
Hvered eleven tons of grain in one trip by
one team, using five wagons, while on the
earth road two tons were all that could be
delivered by similar team. The haul being
four miles in both cases, and as they could
make three trips day, twenty-four miles
team travel, the team on the earth road
would deliver six tons per day at a cost for
team and wagon of $780, thus making a
cost of IS cents per ton the four mile haul
On the brick road the delivery was 80 tons
per day at cost of 1917 cents per ton for
the four mile haul. A difference of fifty
FIVE cents per ton in the cost of delivery in
favor of the brick road, or a difference in
cost of $264 on the 480 tons delivered.
This is only small percent of the actual
loss to the farmer living on the earth road,
as he had to sell his grain at time when
the roads were in condition that it could be
delivered, without regard to the price of the
products. From actual experience it has
been demonstrated that this would represent
loss of $1.50 per ton on corn, $3.50 on oats
and $500 on hay, making a loss in the ag-
gregate of 5000, on account of not being
able to deliver at the best market price.
This, with the loss in the cost of delivering,

something that will touch the everyday
life of the average American citizen every
day in the year in every section of the coun-
try in all the future yearsl The proposition
is so logical and fair, the suggestion so
plausible, and the benefits so apparent that
no political party or no American Congress
can much longer ignore public opinion upon
the good roads question.
when Caesar took eastward ride and grabbed
the Gauls for Rome, what was the first thing that
he did to make them feel at home? Did he in
crease the peoples load and liberty forbid? No.
he dug in and built good roads-that's what Old
Caesar did.
did Caesar put the iron heel upon the foeman's
breast, or did he try to make them feel the Roman
rule was best3 What did he do to make them glad
he'd come their midst amid? He built good roads
in place of bad-thafs what Old Caesar did.
HE built good roads from hill to hill. good roads
from vale to vale he ran a good roads movement
till Old Rome got all the kae. He told the folks
to buy home, build roads their hills amid, until
all roads led right to Rome-thats what Old Caesar
did.
"If any town would make the town the center
of the map, where folks will come and settle down
to live in plentys lap, if any town its own abode
of poverty would rid let it get out and build good
roads-just like Old Caesar did"

makes 81 ,l64, or ten per cent on an invest
ment of 81 900, an increase in value of $50
per acre on his 800 acre farm.
These are some of the transportation
problems that are confronting the people of
this country today, and they are entitled to-,
and are receiving the attention of some OF
the best and foremost minds of this genera
tion
In my humble opinion the climax of the
whole road problem will be the building of
system of permanent National highways
by Federal cooperation or aid-and this is
not so far in the future as some may be-
lieve. The government has plenty of money
with which to build permanent highways in
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands. Con-
gress can appropriate annually millions of
dollars for rivers and harbors. Our gov
eminent has been spending from $2O0OOO,-
900 to $300,OO0O0O annually for the army
and navy-and all this without protest The
same appropriation that Congress has been
granting for rivers and harbors, to bene-
fit few people, will build two transconti-
mental highways of concrete every year from
New York to San Francisco.
How much longer can Congress delay an
appropriation for National highways

TT is very easy to trace through the his
tory of civilization the mighty force of
popular songs and ballads representing
thoughts and emotions that have prevailed
from time to time and assisted in shaping
the course of events. Human nature seems
to demand a musical outlet of patriotic and
religious feeling. "And all countries have
their favorite and characteristic songs, cor
responding to the temperament and ten
denotes of their respective peoples. There
has never been country on earth so poor
that it did not have at least one simple bal
lad dear to the common heart and serving
as source of inspiration in the time Of
peril" The Importance of popular melodies
is shown in the history of almost every
country on the globe in effecting great
changes in national life Such songs were
born in the greatest moments of the singers
and the times.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" the national
song dearest to the American heart, born in
the fierce passions of war, has possibly the
frmest hold on the American people
When the war between England and
France was renewed in 1908, there came a
return of trouble to the United States.
Shortly after the war with France began,
England claimed the right to search Amer
lean vessels for deserters from the English
navy. Thousands of Americans were seized
and forced to fight for England; and to
avenge these outrages, the United States de-
clared war in 1872 1t is another curious
fact of history that the excellent frigates
built during the exciting period which called
forth Hail Columbia" when the party in
power was thought by the opposition to be
too friendly toward Great Britain, were the
nucleus of the gallant navy that by and by
