the land continually falling In, and
1t has shipped during the last three
years from time TO time, and has al
ready cost the county many dollars
TO keep 1t in repair, and between the
properties Of r. X Stout or the old
toll gate and the property Of; Mr..
sturm, both OF whom own diaries,
there is q dangerous slip along the
Northwestern turnpike which has cost
no small amount Of money to keep In
repair. and indeed dangerous to the
travelling public at all times and will
3be as long, as time lasts.
Firth Another reason why the road
should be built BY way OF Grasselli is
that the general public or travel Of
people to and from the city Of Clarks-
burg to, the three counties above mem
toned would not be compelled to
drive through the death trap OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railraod at what
is known ais the q double crossing. .
There Is no way by which this danger
Gus crossings can DE corrected without
the expenditure Of thousands OF dol
lars-in fact almost as much as would
be required to build the entire road
by way Of Grasselii to Bridgeport. The
double crossing" is one Of the most
dangerous crossings in all Of the coun-
try around about or perhaps IN many
states owing to the Typographical con-
ditions at that particular point in the
road, there is no way by which 1t may
be corrected, and that the travelling
public could have q safe and sane
road upon which, to travel. 4
1t is true that the people who fur
nish milk to the city OF Clarksburs
who live on the Northwestern turnpike
would be greatly benefited by q per-
manent road being constructed over
the mile hill. but the question is not
what individuals will be accommodate
ed, but the; question is, what is best
for the general public the most OF
the citizens, for the maintenance and
building ct good roads in this county
We assume that 1t is true that the
wholesale houses in the city OF
Clarksburg would be greatly in favor
of the road being built via Grasselli
as they from day to day and week to
week use that road and never, use the
old Northwestern turnpike, and we
think for the reasons that have been
outlined that it is so plain that the
county court will have no trouble in
determining that the first money tina,
is expended in building good road
east OF .ClarlOsburg will be built to
Grasselli. IN
We are informed that the public
citizens along the way will contribute
the stone necessary to build the road
without price and without compensa-
ton and without any damage what
ever to the properties In furnishing the
same to building the road.

(By a Citinen.)

"
The dirt roads or common county
roads near the city Of Clarksburg in
adjacent suburbs are today, per-
haps. q in the, worst condition that
they, have been for many years, ow-
Ing to the fact that there has been
so much rain Of late and very lit
tie weather during which roads were
trozenSup hard and protected in that
way. The county court having built
several miles Of good road leading
& out from the city of Clarksburg to-
ward Salem, also West Milford and
Buckhannon. makes it possible for
\ all people. who. in any way use the
public highway to see the great value
Rnd advantage Of having good roads

Virginia.
It. is now conceded by almost ev-
ery person, whether they own a
horse. or vehicle Of a any kind or

the man who does not use a county
( road for his own personal use what
ever has learned that he is benefited

ident of the United States"
This is the purport of a personal
message which Count Won Bernstorff.
the German ambassador, sent to the
kaiser two days before the sinking OF
the Arabic, according to information
obtained today from official German
sources. The kaiser is credited with
desiring to end the war now, while he
is an acknowledged victor and is able
to exact price of triumph in the re-
adjustments that will be sanctioned by
the peace congress.
Needs Wilson's Aid.
To bring about peace at this time.
the kaiser needs the aid of President
Wilson, head of the foremost neutral
power of the world. Evidence is ac-
cumulating that this aim on the part
of the German emperor accounts for his
sudden decision to court the friend
ship and esteem of the United States
by yielding to Mr.. Wilson's demands
in regard to the conduct of the sub
marine warfare.
The torpe1oing of the Arabic, which
cost the lives of two American citi-
zers, brought President Wilson face to
race with the question of backing up
his bold words with deeds the country
was not prepared to perform Then

WASHINGTON, Sept. with both
oral and written assurances from the
German government transmitted
through Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, to the state de-
partment regarding Germany's sub
marine policy, officials of the WASH
ington government today looked hope
fully forward for an ultimate and
satisfactory settlement OF the Wnole
submarine problem.
Assurance is given that liners Will
not be sunk by German submarines
without warning and without sarety
for the lives of nOn-cOm batants, pro-
vided the liners do not try to escape
or offer resistance
Policy Antedates Arabic Disaster.
Won Bernstorff's letter contained
the information that the new policy
of Germany had been decided upon
before the steamer Arabic was sunk.
Officials here are gratified with the
German announcement, as 1t is be-
lieved to end the crisis in the relations
between the two governments. They
consider that the way has now been
prepared for a final agreement of all
difficulties.
Germany's next communication, it
was said authoritatively, will be
formal disavowal of the sinking of the
Arabic and reparation will be made
for Am erican lives lost in the disas-
ter, if the attack was made by Ger
man submarine.
Turn to English Controversy.
With the situation growing out of
the Arabic incident out of the way,
Germanys reply to the last American
note on the Lusitania will be forth
coming. If that is satisfactory to the
United States, it is believed the Wash
ington government will then turn its
to the problem of neutral
commerce. A note to Great Britain
is in course of preparation.
