fifteen years and then on the railroad
cars, should set himself up as a road
guide when the greatest American
road authorities, such as the Automo-
bile Blue Book, Motor Age, Motor
Print, Automobile, A. l.. Westgard, J.
G. Monihan, and scores of other prom
inent touring men who know western
conditions and give an unbiased re-
port, advise the travelling of the Over
land Trail between Ogden and Reno,
New, as against the mud flats Of the
Lincoln Highway, in its present condi-
ton around the south end Of the Great
Salt Lake. 1t is not local pride with
these men; it is a ease of giving hon
est and authentic information to the
American touring public.
] can not understand how a man of
your intelligence can pick up any or
binary map Of our country and see that
vast stretch of country south and west
of Great Salt Lake labeled "GREAT
SALT LAKE DESERT and then de-
liberately locate the Lincoln Highway
through it without even inspecting it..
and then defend it as a possible auto
ombile route, and in the face of the
further fact that for 90 years the
Overland Trail north of said lake has
been the only safe road TO travel.
Think of it, Over your route-the
south route-you go through a desert
without a village or ever a house over
a long. very long distance and no
fresh water, and in case Of accident
no place of succor. Take the north
route and you have not only good
roads, but you pass through the garden
spots of Utah, with a village or stop
ping place, and good water, every few
miles On the south route, there is no
village between G~rantsville, Utah, and
near Ely, Nevada. On the north route
you pass through North Ogden, Will
lard, Brigham City, Corinne, Bear
River City, Tremonton, Garland, Snow
vile, Kelton and other villages, and
ono need never lose sight of the Cen
trail Pacific railway.
I think, Nh. Pardington, I have com
pletely answered your letter, except
the concluding paragraph in which You
say that you have no idea your letter
will be published, but that you do de-
sire to have the RECORD MADE
CLEAR. For that reason we publish
your letter in the Daily Standard.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY
OR OVERLAND TRAIL
(Continued from First Pagel

CONTINUED from FIRST Page)
New, is 6774 miles, and the same
journey via the Lincoln Highway Is
6s2.5 miles. This shows your route to
be over five miles longer, and you must
climb a number of mountain ranges
and pass through deserts with no water
or supply stations.
"See the Automobile Blue Book for
proof of the above figures.
This authority-the Autoombile
Blue Book-after sending a man from
New York City to the West to go over
these various routes, makes very posi-
tive recommendations in favor of the
Overland Trail which runs north as
against the Lincoln Highway running
south from Ogden. The gentleman who
made the investigation was absolutely
unbiased and made it in the interest
or the American travelling public. His
recommendations are positive and his
powerful organization is back of his
recommendations, which follow:

GERMANY WILL WIN
 WAR, SAYS BowLES
Former Chief Constructor of Navy
 Predicts Victory for Kaiser.

] New York, Feb. 23.-Francis Tiff fany Bowles, formerly chief con- structor of the navy, later president of the Fore River Shipbuilding com l pany and now a director of that cor poration, returned last evening by the Holland-American steamship ROtter- dam, asserting that Germany would win the battle of the powers. He de- l clined to give his reasons for this as- sertion. That was his last word to the reporters who talked with him coming up the bay The admiral expressed himself with his wonted emphasis While admit ting the power of Germany, he gave praise to the naval prowess of the United States. He had nothing to say of the sea power of the allies. He had been in Germany since De- cember 12 on "business,' the nature of which he declined to divuige. He said: "The feeling against the Amer ican people in Germany is strong and it is accumulating in considerable force."
 "Is it confined to the military powers?"
 Against American People.
 ''No it is general I might say uni ,versal in Germany It is not only against the American government, but against the American people,"
 What about the effect of the sub marine on naval warfare?"
 Will Modify Tactics.
 1T believe it will materially modify tactics, but will not decrease the inn portance, the value or the necessity of the battle fleet The value of the bat tie cruiser has been demonstrated in this war. Our navy has neglected an important feature in naval prepared ress in failing to continue it's policy of building battle cruisers
 ''Is the feat of the German sub- marine in going 800 miles from it's base a marked improvement in sub- marine construction and effort ?'
 Excellent Ventilating System.
 No. One of our own submarines (the Salmon) made the trip to Ber- muda (666 miles from Sandy Hook) and return, five years ago. l will tell you why the German submarine could be three weeks from it's base it rested on the bottom in the day time, thus expending no power. They have an excellent and improved sys- tenn of ventilating German subma- rines; but we have it, also"
 "Is resting on the bottom a new tning?"
 "No. It is merely a development of channel warfare-of fighting in narrow waters"
 How about the dreadnoughts ?''
 "Their fighting power has not been and will not be diminished by sub marines
 Germany Will Win.
 What will be the outcome of this war;"
 The admiraIs answer to this was:
 Germany will win.''

ceives $5O,OOO for Injuries.
 Meriden, Feb. 23.-The settlement of a s50,o0o suit against the New Ha- ven road has just been made by P. T. O'Brien of this city in behalf of Frank B. Condon. the former Y. M. c. A. instructor at Trenton, N. J., who was so terribly injured when the White M ountain express crashed into the Bar HarbOr train on the morning of September ,, 1913. at North Haven. Mir. Condon, it will be remembered. was brought to the Meriden hospital immediately after the wreck, where he lay between life and death for nearly week.
 MT. Condon is the only survivor of the Pullman Chancellor, which was the last car on the train and Waa ground to pulp by the White Moun- tain express which ploughed through the last three Pullmans His escape was nothing short of miraculous. His injuries consisted of cOntusions Of the legs, decorations of the hands ana terrible injuries to his spine.
 He was confined to the Meriden hospital from the day of the wreck until October IS, when he was re- moved to the Waldo county hospital at Belfast, Maine. Since then MT. Condon has been convalescing at Belfast.
 Owing to MT. Condon taking up his residence in Maine, Attorney O'Brten was associated in the case with Will liam R. Pattengill, attorney general of Maine, although the suit was brought by MT. O'Brien. Attorney General Pattengill has recently been brought into international prominence as he is preparing the case against Van Horn, the German bridge dyna- hitter.

Of c0urse, am not a first class artist in this line, but my work has won prizes and has been purchased, so it is not worthless, and this Is the only way I can think of by which am able to help or to give pleas ure to any one who cares for such things and do want to help in some way or other if can. A WIFE"
 This sort of appeal would bring re- sponse. even if it were not accompanied by the offer of a return. To many and many an expectant mother the Cornerites have sent help and encouragement, and am sure neither will be lacking in this case. The desire to help by giving pleas- ure to others which is shown in "A Wife's " letter deserves a cordial return, which 1t Is certain to have. trust the letters will be many from those who wish to give as we'll as to receive from this cor- respondent.

For q Clip Dpelle.

Something has been persistently com ing into\my mind since you wrote while ago aboHt the need of every one for yacationt of some sort. I wonder if could through the Corner. offer weeks vacation to some city dweller. probably tired teacher. office woman, or rsaleswom- an. Here \are the conditions: Beautiful country. uttle village. an old, comfortable farmhouseN wholesome food-Quantities of fruit. yetetables, fresh air, fried chick ems. sunshine, and quiet I couldn't prom ise much in, the line of amusement. We have the city mail twice daily. telegraph, and telephohe, papers. magazines. and books But iny husband wears khaki and a flannel shirt and he doesn't dress for dnner-but He Is an ola uear ana does work so hard N.

 I regret very much that the prior claims of other lette1s received earlier than this have delayed this most charming offer of avacation. l Hope the generous and allur- ing invitation may be accepted by the one who needs 1t most, if not too late In the season.
