through some of the most attrac-
tive scenery of the State, but
whether or not those at the
head of the Lincoln road agree to
the change, the Juniata valley route
will get the travel once it is put in
proper condition.
The Governors idea has been taken
up by West Virginia, as the following
in the Pittsburgh Dispatch from FL
kins. that State, indicates;
When the improvements which
are under way on the State roads
in this section and to the south are
completed some magnificent scenery
In West Virginia will be opened up
for automobile travel. Good road
advocates of Randolph county are
improving the highways from VAL
ley Head to the Webster county
extending this improvement through
to Webster Springs.
1t is expected that this stretch of
improved roads will be finished by
July, giving automobile travel from
the head of Tygart's Valley to the
famous mineral springs in Webster
county. Long sections of modern
roads are under construction in
Mercer Wood. Mcdowell, Marion
and other counties for which many
sues have been voted.
The Gazette is on the right track.
Pennsylvania has the scenery and is
rapidly getting the roads. What is
now needed is more automobile tour
ing in the State.

WATERLOO
TINE salient features of the Battle
: of Waterloo. which occurred
one hundred wears ago to-day

TINE salient features of the Battle
of Waterloo. which occurred
one hundred years ago to-day,
are, first, the late beginning, due to the
fact that rain the previous night had
SO saturated the ground that Napoleon
did not feel it safe to venture his
cavalry and artillery until 11.3O
o'clock. That delay made it possible
for Blucher and his Prussians to arrive
just when they were needed to turn
the tide against the Emperor and the
French. And, second, the existence,
unknown to Napoleon, of the sunken
road of CHAIR. The road broke the
force of the cavalry charge led by
Marshal Ney. This "tumult, disci-
plined and terrible" upon which so
much depended. but for the unsus-
pected ravine might have proved ire
sistible and thrown Wellington's sorely
tried forces into hopeless confusion a
full hour before the first of the Prus-
SLAMS arrived
1t is. of course. idle to discuss what
might have been the effect If Waterloo
had been fought under modern con-
ditions. If, for instance, it had oc-
CURED last summer when a big en-
gagement seemed imminent in its i'm
mediate vicinity. AS compared with
present-day battles the famous con-
test upon which the fate of Europe
literally hung was q vest pocket affair.
1t was, however, no burrowing con-
test, but an awe-inspiring fight in the
open, with infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery each sustaining it's full share of
the shock. and both armies most of the
time in full view of each other. The
great extension in range of all sorts of
guns, for one thing, makes a repe-
tition of it an impossibility. Never
theless, even if it serves no useful pur-
pose, speculation along that line is in
teresting.
The first thing that strikes one when
musing over conditions military now
and century ago is that man continues
to be quite as helpless as ever in the
grasp of nature. Neither the artiIlerist
nor the engineer of the present day, II
confronted with the precise problem
that faced Napoleon on that fateful
June morning, would do other than
he did They are just as powerless te
stop the rain and they would be com
PEELED to wait just as he did for time
and sun to make the ground of the
little valley firmer. At the beginning
OF the present war a great deal was
printed about caterpillar wheels. bu

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

Enough time has elapsed since the
outbreak of the war for the careful
analysis and comparison of the State
papers necessary for final interpreta-
ton. Such an analysis of all official
documents so far published has for
the first time been made by Professor
Ellery c. Stowell, of Columbia Univer-
sity, in his book THE Beginnings of
the War" Among the interesting fea-
lures is a complete discussion of Sir
Edward Grey's diplomacy and his re-
sponsibility for involving England in
the war.
Four works, other than fiction. most
in demand at the book stores during
the month of May, are -Four Weeks
in the Trenches" by Fritz Kreisler.
The Secret of an Empress" by the
Countess Zanardi Landi, The Prom
ised Land by Mary Antin, and What
Men Live By by DR.. Richard Clarke
Cabot. "Angela's Business" by Henry
Sydnor Harrison is third in the list of
best-selling fiction.
Reports from European battlefields
and hospitals of the wonderful results
accomplished by modern surgical ap-
pliances recalls to Americans the hor-
rtble excess of mortality from wounds
in our own Civil war, where the aver
age number of deaths from gunshot
wounds was about 80 per cent, and
we can but be thankful that at least
science may save to US many valuable
lives which without its aid would be
sacrificed. The record of the advance
of surgery is as rich in human inter-
est and at times as thrilling as the war
news in the daily papers. 1t is pre-
served for us in DR.. w. w. Keen's
Animal experimentation, which
traces-the efforts of which have
brought medicine and surgery to their
present state of efficiency-the fight
for life, the failures, the search for
better methods, the improvements, the
suspense, and the victories.

SEEING PENNSYLVANIA FIRST

Il
TIME Lewistown Gazette has taken
up the thought expressed by
Governor Brumbaugh some time
since when he said that the news
papers could do a great service by in
PRODUCING the people of Pennsylvania
to their own State. The Governor
hopes to be instrumental in bringing
about great movement to "see Penn
sylvania first" and the Gazette has
localized the idea by urging it's read
ers. through the medium of a vigorous
editorial, to "see Miffiin county first
Says the Gazette:
Probably you have been to Eu-
rope and enjoyed a view of the
noted sights of thatland. Maybe you
have been all through the West
and South of Uncle Sans domain
and been impressed with the great
ness of our glorious country. Pos
sibly you have been up into New
England and were made glad you
We're an American. You may have
been to the Adirondacks and the
White Mountains and been delight
ed. or been impressed with the mag
nificence of the Yosemite and the
Yellowstone parks. Glorious sights,
weren't they. Made you happy to
| live in such a land at such time.
But have you ever seen Miffiin
county. in the State of Pennsylva-
MIA, United States of America?
Never have. Then you have moth
| ing to talk about.
The local writer often sees charms
in home surroundings that do not ap-
pear as favorably to the visitor. That
observation does not apply in this in
stance. No pen has ever overdrawn
the beauties of Miffiin county or the
Juniata valley as a whole. Thousands
of Pennsylvanians will "see Miff1in
county first" if the present plan to
change the Lincoln highway route
from the Cumberland Valley, leaving
Harrisburg and traversing the Jun
Inta valley and the main pike to

town branch to Everett and by mair
