ON WAY TO AMERICA

Washington, April 7-Officiel announce
ment that Victoriano Huerta, late
Mexican dictator, was on his way from
Spain to the United States. was received
at the state department to-day from
the American consul at Seville. Huerta
recently sailed on the steamer Antonio
Lopez, due to arrive at New York on
Saturday. It will be his first visit to
the United States, his defiance Of which
country last year In the stirring months
before he voluntarily went into exile d
to the American occupation OF Vera
Cruz.
Just what the purpose OF Huerta's visit
may be Is unknown to officials, but II is
generally believed he intends to confer
with numerous prominent A1exicans as
ISOLATED with him in his administration
who have gathered In New York since
the triumph OF the constitutionalist forces
in Mexico, or perhaps intends to make
his residence there.
The state department has heard several
rumors that some OF Huerta's followers
were gathering strength to promote an
other military compaign In Mexico In the
hope OF preventing either the CarranEa
forces or the Vula-zapata coalition from
obtaining possession OF Mexico's govern
ment, but nothing tangible has developed.

HEART.TO-HEART TALK.
Highway Commissioners Tells Road
Makers to Keep Ever,astnGIy at II.

Good roads day for Chittenden county
was opened yesterday morning with a
meeting at Y. Nj. Z. a. hall at which about
So road commissioners and selectmen OK
the county attended It was get-to-
Gether meeting for the commissioners,
.he principal feature being tho heart-to-
heart talk By State Commissioner Stod-
dard d. Bates, who dealt principally with
The maintenance Of the roads OF the
county and state which are already In
condition While permanent roads are
expected to be built the speaker made
special appeal to the men present TO got
% work on their roads as early az posi-
bic in the spring 80 that they might be
IN good condition for the heavy tourist
traffic which will como 20 Vermont tbs
coming season. He was OF the opinion
That with the European war barring tour
lists from that continent the travel
throughout Vermont would be heavier
during the coming summer months than
ever before, and that it is good business
proposition to See that the highways are
in the best possible condition.
There are In Chittenden county 26S miles
OF selected highways OF which % miles
or about one-third, have been improved
by aid OF State money. The question OF
Improvement Is that of cutting out the
most dangerous curves and cutting down
the steep grades. The question OF sur
face material must be settled by each
commits sioner. and where it meets the
necessary requirements OF conditions and
travel material nearest the spot which
needs Restricting can be used to best
advantage. If a third of the road to be
improved is finished and then not taken
care Of while the other part Is being I'm
ished. there 10 n great economic waste as
the roads need attention from the day
they are completed II they are to be kept
in proper condition.
In the resurfacing OF roads great earl
should be taken that the holes In thu
sub grade are first filled in 80 that tn,
new surface will be OF equal thickness
at nil points Tho State will stand ono
half or the expense Of this work II 1
does not exceed $1,000 The work OF re
surfaciny and smoothing the roads shoult
he done early in the season during thu
months of April and May before the drI

Berlin, April 3.-(Special. )-Ever since the bombardment of the Dardanelles WAS begun and the Francophile Italian press began louder clamor for Italy's partic- ipation in the war, the dormant fear Of the entrance of a new foe, equal at least to Austria, in military and naval power. has agitated the minds of Berlin CTS
 In official circles, however calmer views prevail. Several prominent officials of the German foreign department whom l have approached all agreed that no fear need be felt of Italy joining hands with France, England and Russia, although that among the masses of Italys war against Austria would be immensely popular.
 The reasons they gave were first of all Italy's economical position. During the first six months of the war Italy's inn ports decreased 47 per cent. During Jan uary last export business improved a lit tie and continued to improve during Feb ruary, but the imports are still 35 per cent below normal. Many Italian indus tries are completely paralyzed and the number of unemployed is greater than for years, because the 5Oo,ooo people who for

Table Talk of Hindenburg

From the London Chronlcle
 Fedor von kobelititz, a widely known novelist, had been invited by Marshal von Hindenburg to dinner, and in let ter gives some stray hints of the great strategist's table talk.
 It was, of course, all about the war An officer stated that Russian prison CTS had Japanese coins in their posses sion. fact which pointed to the pres ence of Japanese soldiers in the Rus sian army.
 Not at all," said Hindenburg, they stole the coins in the Japanese war, and were only trying to dispose of them in Poland.'
 The fall of Warsaw was next dis cussed and the great man had something to say about it: Ut will not fall today nor yet tomorrow, but we shall gel through. This is certain.''
 The conversation turned on the state of the Russiap army, and Hindenburg s contribution was as follows:
 '"Fhe human materIl of the Russian armies is not inexhaustible. Their rou- bles are powerless. Their ammunition is being exhausted.
 Herr von Zobeitltz states that the New Years congratulations to this new idol of the nation were so numerous that they had to be delivered in large laundry baskets, and that although the marshars aides -de-camp were working in temperature degrees below zero the precipitation ran off their faces so immense were their efforts to get through the correspondence.

figure, or if single men are employed individually for small jobs or repair work it is the scale at which many can be found willing to work.
 The unemployed situation in Birmingham this winter is well known to have been exceedingly serious. On account of the many men out of work, not only they themselves, but their families in many instances suffered for need of the actual necessities of life Great aid has been given many of them by different move fnents by charity organizations and indi- vidual citizens, buying the food, fuel and clothing which many or them had to have.
 But since the Build Now movement have already nearly 400 of these men have already nearly 400 of these men have now supporting themselves. Every day more of them are finding employment, it is said, as the Builders exchange sue ceeds in interesting owners In the proposi- tion to save by building now. It is prophesied that if the movement con tinues as 1t has begun that the local busi- ness conditions in Birmingham will very nearly approach normal by the time the summer is well started.
 The scale of wages is given at the head of this column.
