STATE ROAD BAL IMORE
TO OAKLAND SOON READY
Members of State Road Commission
Make inspection Tour of Roads
In Garrett County.

Having spent an hour digging their
automobile out of big snow drift near
Accident, Garrett county, where they
had become stalled, Henry G. Shirley.
chief engineer of the State Roads Com
mission, and Frank H. Zouck, assistant
to the chairman of that body passed
through Cumberland Saturday after an
Inspection trip.
1t was in Garrett county, where
Spring begins a month after it starts in
other parts of the state and where
winter sets in before election day. The
place where the car stuck was nearly
midway between Accident and Keyser's
Ridge. A farmers son was appealed
to and he brought shovel and a road
was made through the drift, which at
that point was about three feet deep
and packed hard Road Commissioner
Andrew Ramsay of Mount Savage, was
along and helped in the ow-shovellng.
When Messrs. Shirley and Zouck
started out last Wednesday morning
they thought the roads would be clear
OF snow all the way to Oakland, but
after they got to Frostburg. where they
spent Wednesday night, they found
plenty of snow badly drifted. There
was no trouble on the National road,
because it is wide and the drifts did
not block it. Neither was there any
trouble on the reconstructed portion of
the state road between the National
road and Oakland. but it was on the
unreconstructed road, with its bad
grades and deep cuts. that there was
constant trouble with the snow.
Mr.. Shirley wanted to see how the
state roads in Western Maryland had
stood the winter, as it will soon be time
to start maintenance work for the year.
That they had gone through very well
was shown by the inspection.
In Garrett county, between Cove and
Accident there is in progress the most
important piece of relocation work in
the state. The road to be abandoned is
not only the worst in Maryland for its
grades but also for its turns. By taking
an entire new route for several miles
the State Roads Commission has short
ened the dlsJtuce, reduced the curves
and found easy grades through noun
famous country.
The partY's automobile by making
some good jumps and bumps was forced
over the new road under construction
after desperate fight, and the trip
showed that the new route will be one
of the most picturesque IN the state
when the leaves are again on the trees
and the grass is again green. When
this link is finished which should be by
the middle of summer, and there is
rebuilt about fifteen miles of road chiefly
between Hagerstown and Cumberland,
motorcar trip between Baltimore and
Oakland will be an easy thing for a
summer days journey. BALTIC. Sun.

Swat Him.

Because the fly is small and does not
roar like hon or devour its prey at a
mouthful, mankind pays little attention
to it. But the fly is as deadly foe to
civilization as any of the pests of more
fearsome aspect which makes it his
business to exterminate. The fly's at
tack is insidious and therefore the more
to be guarded against. He buZzes into
the houses, drops his deadly disease
germs where they will fertilize and
buzzes out again to pick up a fresh car
go. Swat him, ne is your enemy.

flcatlons regarding the alleged in
ad Quate service furnished by the

IN complaint against the road sign
ed by striking engineers and firemen
and other Aroostook county residents,
have been filed with the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission by Joseph p. Gould,

A hearing upon the motions has been
ordered for 10 A M, Wednesday, Jan.

The main issue between the com
plainants anG the road will not how
ever, be brought up at this time.
The motion declares the road IN
able TO make proper answer and pro-
perly defend the charges in Par
agraphs one and two, Article two Of
the complaint, because the allegations
are too general in their nature and
do not give sufficient information as
10 the several alleged violations Of
the law or breach Of PUBLIC duty

The road moves that before a hear
ing is ordered on the complaint the
commission order the petitioners to
file specifca = ons under Paragraph
] Of Article of the complaint which
shall set forth with sufficient detail
SO II may be clear and readily IN
derstood, what passenger trains are

Paragraph 2, Article .. setting forth
in detail the accidents to which re-
ference is made. the date thereof,
together with. the names Of the men
running trains who are not competent
to fulfill the duties Of their position.
A separate motion moves that part
of the complaint dealing with the ef-
forts Of the strikers to settle the
strike be dismissed because they do
net allece any violations of law or
breach Of public duty and because the
board has no jurisdiction

FRANCE FIRST AND
MONARCHY AFTER
WARD" IS STAND
Of the French Royalists, Who
Are Admitted to Be Support
ing Government in War, Even
Though Their Leaders Are
Denied Right to Serve in the
French Army.
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

Paris, Jan. 1.-The royal exile law
which prohibits members Of any for
mer ruling family in France to serve
in French armies, continues to be a
| thorn in the patriotic pride of the
Duke of Orleans and other Royalists.
The Duke, who recently failed in his
attempt to enlist as q private in the
English army, has also failed to get
any reply from his appeal to Premier
| Niviani that Parliament be asked to
suspend the law in his case. His latest
plan is 70 bring the question before
the Chamber in the form Of a friendly
Interpolation by one of the Royahst
deputies.
Leon Daudet, one Of the most Wig
orous RoyaEst leaders, and editor of
the Action FRANCHISE, says that among
many legends that have vanished is
the fiction that the Royalists hoped
for disastrous war on the SUPPOSE
ton that monarchy might be rebuilt
upon the ruins of France
We have been represented, he said,
las Royalists first and Frenchmen
afterward. We are doing all we can
to prove that we are for France first
and for monarchy afterward.
Twelve hundred of our members.
most Of them officers, have already
fallen in battle. We have lost seven of
our presidents Of sections, and among
the staff of the Action Franchise,
Pierre Gilbert and Alfred de Bret &c
Nanteuil have paid their debt to
their country. The heroic mayor of
verneuil, Rigaud de Verneuii. as
sassinated by the Germans for his
filmness in defending the population,
was president of the section Of Yer
neuil.
Pierre de Jouffrey, one of those
energetic Royalist leaders who for
med the organization called 'Camelots
du Roi, from Grenoble, and Lieutenant
Bernoud, another 'Camelot du Roi,'
We're the two heroic survivors OF the
French deta chment that resisted IS
days behind the enemys lines.

Neither the Action Franchise nor

THE SUFFERING IN
BELGIUM HAS NOT
Been EXAGGERATED
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-The president Of
the Dutch branch of the Antwerp Bel
gian Refugee Committee, W. A. Van der
Veen, in a statement Of the condition OF
the Belgians who have remained in their
country says:
The fact is, the distress in Belgium
is very great. Much is being done in va
rious directions to afford relief, but there
are many difficulties which are hard to
overcome. There are still 100000 of
people in Belgium and they all re-
quire to be clothed and fed One can
imagine what these difficulties are, If
one remembers that our own country
has a population of about 6,000,0D0.
Entire districts, for instance, Elan
ders. Luxembourg and Hainault, are com
pletely cut off from the whole world.
There are no official reports concerning
the distress and il is impossible even
to estimate all that is necessary. All
we know about the distress We have
learned by personal inquiry in the i'm
mediate neghborhood OF the great CEN
trail places, and what we have seen there
is quite sufficient.
IF a severe spell of cold weather
should set in thousands will be killed. A
cold east wind will break the weak bod
les and children and ole people will die
in thousands. To all this must be added
typhoid fever and other diseases and
then one will understand how helpless
We feel confronted with such misery.
1T would be unjust not to acknowledge
with thankfulness all that is being done
by the Conite Rationale de Secours by
the Rockefeller Institute and the Brit
ish Relief Fund. But still the diHcult
problem exists how to get the neces-
saries of life TO those places where they
are urgently wanted. The means of
transportation are too few and too slow.
The roads and bridges are either in a
bad state or completely destroyed and
the necessary precautions of the military
authorities against spying do not further
the work of relief
There 10 only one way in which ef-
fective assistance can be rendered and
for that We must be enabled to get food
stuffs to all places where the need il the
greatest. Great quantities Of provisions
must be stored in central places. doctors
with medicine and drugs must be quick
ly sent to all places affected by disease
and such districts must be isolated to
prevent the further spread Of epidemics
Further permission must be given to
send and receive letters. SO that persons
in better circumstances may be able to
receive money from the interior or from
abroad and better working of the
banking system must be instituted SO
that everybody may be enabled to raise
loans on securities"
Mr. Van de Teen concluded
Every government, every philan-
thropic institution IN the world ought to
send money and motor cars for the
transportation of provisions. With q few
hundred of these cars we could do much
