THE ARABIC AND LusIrANIA

The Worlds correspondent in Ber-

likely to be official, has reported that
Germany sees no more reason why
America should break with her be-
cause of the Arabic than because of
the Lusitania." This is another way of
saying that Germany sees no reason
why she should not keep on murder
ing Americans until the end of the
war regardless of the Presidents pro-
tests and warnings:
Nearly five weeks have elapsed since
the third Lusitania note was sent to
Berlin, and Germany's only response is
the sinking of the Arabic and the kill
ing of more Americans. The argument
is put forth that il President Wilson
sewers diplomatic relations with Ger
many he will close all the ordinary
channels of inquiry and explanation
between the two countries. But why
not? Those channels are of no value to
the United States il Germany is to
persist in the Won Tirpitz policy of
submarine warfare. They save no
American lives and they protect no

MOUNTAIN ROAD TO LINK
WHITESBURG AND DIXIE WAY.


Louisville good roads advocates re-
ceived news yesterday OF the launch
ing OF protect on the part Of Breath
lit county enthusiasts for highway
to connect Whitesburg, in Lettner
county. with Richmond and the Dixie
Highway, and designed ultimately TO
supply an artery of travel through the
mountains to Virginia and the East.
The road may be known as the Noun
tain Highway.
At meeting held in Jackson dur
ing the week Robert E. Wools. Of Lou
isville. director general Of the Ken
lucky Good Roads Association, assist
ed in the formal launching OF the pro-
ject and the organization Of the
Breathitt County Good Roli,s Assc-
citation, in addition to the formation
of a temporary organization to super
wise the construction of the proposed
highway in the counties through which
1t will pass. Mr.. Woods discussed with
the Jackson promoters the matter OF
road funds and found that most OF the
interested counties had taken advant-
age OF the State-aid road law, by
which the State provides a sum equiv
alent to that voted in bonds by the
counties.
1t is proposed to build the highway
from Whitesburg through Letcher,
Perry, Breathitt, Lee and Estill coun-
ties to Richmond, where the connec-
ton with the Dixie Highway will be
made. From Jackson. 1t is planned to
| project an arm a distance of ninety
miles to Mt. Sterling, where the jack
son Highway may be Joined IL that
road is routed through that place. Sew
eral smaller arms are proposed from
the main line between Whitesburg and
Richmond. One is planned to run to
Hindman, in Knott county, from Haz-
ard in Perry county, and another from
Hazard to Hyden, in Leslie county.
Still another is proposed to run from
jackson to Bonneville, in Owsley co.
The road would be about $50 miles in
length from Whitesburg to Richmond
and ninety miles from Jackson to Mt.
Sterling. Each of the other arms would
be about twenty miles long. From
| Whitesburg, 1t is planned ultimately
to have an extension into Virginia,
providing for future travel to and
from the East through the picturesque
mountain section.
At the Jackson meeting, County
Judge J. o. Crawford was made chair
man of the Breathitt organization, and
Malcolm H. Halliday, of Jackson, was
elected secretary. An Executive Com
mittee was appointed to consist of G.
| w. Sewell, j. L. Mccoy, w. p. Hogg,
Judge Crawford, Mr.. Halliday and
Walter Kemp. Representatives were
appointed to represent the other in
terested counties in the temporary gen
eral organization A general meeting
to which will be invited delegates from
all the counties, has been called to
take place in Jackson next Saturday,
when steps will be taken to bring the
matter into definite shape

town in the immediate future. 1t will
be located ON the new Piedmont Hard
Road, and southeast of the town OF
