streets and avenues must be such as
to overcome in the most effective man.
ner such natural obstacles.
i One of the best methods of laying
OUT q city. as has been pointed out. is
that Of radiai streets leading to. the
principal center. with circumferentia,
concrete streets. but sufficient variety
must enter into such a layout to obvi-
ate its faults.
The principal stream of passenger
traffic during the day is between the
better residential districts and the civ.
1c and Office building districts. between
the home Ut workmen and factory dis.
tricts. between both the residential
districts and homes Of workmen and
the retail districts and in the evening
between the various residential dis
tricts and the places Of amusement
and recreation.
Radiai avenues leading thus to the
civic center. adjoining which may be
placed the retail district. and similar
important n into the shipping
and manufacturing districts will take
care Of the main passenger and pe-
destrian traffic during the day, while
ut night the amusement center is ordi-
nariIy reached the same way. since It
is usually found between the retail and
the residential districts.
There is no great need for important
streets between the various residential
districts Of a city. as the traffic be-
tween them is light. Through such
districts. however. a driveway or bou-
levard may be run. A pleasing drive
IL thus afforded. which adds greatly
to the ~attractiveness Of the city.
In order to afford ample facilities for
traffic and at the same time to avoid
unnecessary OUTLAWS streets in varying
widths should be provided. 1t will
usually be found that streets Of three
different widths will suffice for pracu-
cally all purposes-that is to say. main
thoroughfares. secondary thorough
fares and local streets.
Az q rule. 1t is better to err on the
side Of having streets too wide than
too narrow. A city should have as q
minimum 20 per cent of its area de-
voted to streets. while 10 per cent b
4 far bstter allowance. The streets of
the city Of Washington. which are un-
usually wide and imposing. occupy 81
per cent Of the city's total area. 4
A Prussian law Of 1875. enacted to
cover the streets Of Berlin. prescribed
that the main streets should he IS feet
or more in width. secondary thorough.
fares from as to 30 feet and the local
streets from 20 to Is feet Another
standard for; secondary tsermanscities.

oughfares 80 to 80, feet. and local
streets 80 to as feet.

ways differing in accordance with the
zone.
The buildings and the courts are d.
vided into from five to nine different
classes. and regulations are made to
suit each class.
The regulations abroad in regard to
the classes of buildings which are used
as workingmen's homes require the
apartment used by q family to consist
Of not less than three rooms-a living
room, a sleeping room and q kitchen.
The living room is required to be Of a

Mannheim. 100 square feet. at the min

must be not less than 100 square feet
in ire There are also requirements
as to the total area of the rooms, which
In Dusseldorf. Magdeburg and through
out Saxony must be not less than 900
square feet.
The height Of the rooms is generally
placed Mt not less than 2.5 meters, or
SO feet. while the window area must
be from One-eighth to one-twelfth Of
the area of the door. an average figure
being one-tenth.
The regulations as to space not built
upon are sometimes based on the num-
Der Of families occupying a building.
In Altoona 100 square feet per family
must be left open in the main portions
Of the city. while In the suburbs 100
square feet per family must be left
open.
Among other regulations are those
in reference to light. there being pro-

STRONG NOTE
SENT AUSTRIA
ABOUT ANCONA
DISAVOWAl OF SUBMARINE AT
TACK UPON ITALIAN STEAMER
AND PUNISHMENT OF THOSE
RESPONSIBLE DEMANDED.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The United
States has sent to Austria-Hungary a
note asking for a disavowal of the
submarine attack upon the Italian
liner Ancona, assurances that such an
act will not be repeated, some de-
gree of punishment for the com
mander of the submarine and repara-
tion for the American lives lost
The communication started by ca.
Bile yesterday from the state depart.
ment to Ambassador Frederic c. Pen
field at Vienna, who was instructed
to hand it to the Hungarian
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Bu-
rian. Word of the delivery of the
note has not yet been received by
the department.
Friendly, but firm terms, it is said,
characterize the document, which is
understood to make particular point
of prompt assurances for the future
safety of American lives. Austria
Hungary has never informed the Uni
ted States whether the commanders
of its submarines had been given
instructions similar to those which
the German government gave to its
commanders after the Lusitania trag-
edy. 1t is understood that the note
referred particularly to the charge
that shells from the submarine killed
or wounded some passengers on the
Ancona after she had halted and
asked for an explanation on that
point.
In dispatching the note, Secretary
Lansing acted with the approval of
and after consulting President Wilson.
1t is stated authoritatively that the
document which is described as being
comparatively brief and decidedly
vigorous in tone, was so drafted as to
attempt settlement of the contro-
versy at once without bringing on
a series of communications such as
followed the sinking of the Lusitania

UNUSUAL PRECAUTlON TO
GUARD PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, Dec S.-Unusual pre-,
cautions will be taken to protect Pres
ident Wilson when he goes to Colum-
bus, Ohio, Friday. Tension in the in
ternatonal situation is one cause, and
a direct suggestion from government
authorities at Columbus is another.
1t was learned today, a government
official came from Columbus to Wash
ington last week to advise the presi-
dent against permitting the county
democrats reception to be held in
the rotunda of the state capitol.
The president, however, is under
stood to have requested that the re-
ception be held as planned Since the
presidents bitter references to dis
loyal aliens, in his message, need for
a guard is much more felt.

LLP0STPONE
POULTRY SHOW
ANOTHER YEAR
ALTON AND ON ACCOUNT OF
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS INCL.
DENT TO THE EXPLOSION.

The Carter county poultry associa-
ton were to have held a show in Jan
uary, but on account of the fact that
they failed to receive the appropria-
tion of one hundi ed dollars from the
board of county commissioners, and
also from general conditions in the
city caused by the recent explosion,
they have decided to postpone the
show until next fall and have it at the
same time the free county fair is held
President Berry of the poultry as
sociation stated this morning that tax
ing everything into consideration, it
might be best to make no attempt at
having a show before next fall. The
county commissioners had agreed to
give them 800, but when the time
came found that there were no funds
in the contingent fund and that no
levy had been made for it; however,
the commissioners were more than
could find way to do it. Mr.. Berry
stated that he advised them that he
thought it best to wait and combine
both shows next fall when the money
will be available, and so the matter
was decided.
The commissioners have been to
considerable extra expense this fall in
making necessary repairs on the roofs
of county buildings, and the contin-
gent fund was exhausted before the
work was nearly done; they regretted
to have to deny the poultry associa-
tion the amount asked, at the last
moment but under the present arrange
ment everything is satisfactory to all
parties, and they promise to have a
big show next fall

May Outflank the Allies.

London, Dec. 9.-The situation in
the Balkans is developing rapidly.
The Germans and Bulgarians reached
Kenali on the Greek border, ten
miles south of Monastir, thus threat
ening to outhank the Anglo-French
forces, while Bulgars, who also are
supposed to be led by Germans, have
attacked the allies extreme right
wing near Strumitsa.
Under this pressure the French
have withdrawn from the krivolak
salient, and at last accounts had TAX
en- up a position at Demirkapou in
deep gorge about twenty miles
from the Greek frontier, through
which the Saloniki railway runs: Here
they were attacked by the Bulgarians,
who. according to the French re-
ports, were repulsed.
The plans of neither the allies nor
the Germans are yet quite clear, but
apparently the Germans are deter
mined on crushing the little force
which went to the assistance of the
Serbians, and which has been and is
still being reinforced. The retirement
of the allies to Demirkapou has led
to the report they intend to abandon
the Balkan enterprise entirely, but
continued landing of troops at Salon
Xxi would seem to deny any such in
tention while there is a very strong
opinion here that Salonikl
should be held as a base for future
operations in the near east.
There is little news from the other
fronts. The Germans have scored
minor success in Champagne, where
they captured about 500 yards of a
French trench, part of which, how
ever, has been retained; the British
have received reinforcements at Kut-
where they are making
their stand after the retreat from
Ctesiphon and the Italians, who for
the last two weeks have been on
the offensive, are now engaged in
the Austrian counter attacks
The expected offensive of the allies
in Gallipoli apparently did not ma
terialize, while throughout Russia the
wintry weather has put stop to
all hut small ventures

CHANCELLOR BETHMANN-HoLL-
VEG SAYS GERMANY is NOW
READY TO DISCUSS PEACE.
HAS FOOD SUPPLIES
German Chancellor Says Germany
Has Sufficient Food and Stores of
Copper for Many Years - Germany
Not Responsible for Continuation.

Berlin, Dec. e.-ChancelIor Beth
mann-Hollweg, in addressing the
Rechstag today, said If Germany's
enemies make peace proposals "com-
patible with Germany's dignity and
safety, we shall always be ready to
discuss them,' but he said it was
folly for Germany to propose peace,
"as long as in the countries of our
enemies the guilt and ignorance of
the statesmen are entanged with the
confusion Of public opinion"
He said Germany, conscious of her
successes, declines RESPONSE
bility for a further continuation of
the war and cannot be charged with
the purpose of fighting to make fur
ther conquest. He said: "The war can
be terminated only by peace, which
will guarantee that war will not re-
turn"
The chancellor asserted that Ger
many's food supplies are sufficient
and her stores of copper adequate for
many years.

"SEToN DELIBERATELY
DROPPED BY SCOUTS"

New York, Dec Sin reply to a
statement by Ernest Thompson Seton
in which he said he had resigned
as chief scout, the National Council
of the Boy Scouts of America today
issued statement, which said:
Mr.. Seton did not resign; he was
deliberately dropped by the national
council of the Boy Scouts of America
on the question of Americanism.
THE aims of the Boy Scout move
ment are today exactly the same as
they have been since the organiza-
ton of the movement in this coun-
try, Feb. s. 1910. Character develop
ment and good citizenship, through
wholesome outdoor activities, is the
