Keyport, Sept. 20.-Work of ce-
menting Broad street will be begun
today in all probability, the roadbed
of cracked stone and sand having
been laid. A small amount of con-
troversy as to whether the road
shall be rolled before the cement IS
used or not has ensued for several
days. The specifications cali for sthe
rolling of the road, but the contrac-
tor claims that the engineer says
that the road does not require it ana
that the use of water on the. roadbed
and pounding is far superior. -
However, since the specifications
call for the rolling of the road those
in charge are insisting that it be
done.

Remarkable Report.

Secretary McAdoo's annual report
will always rank as a historical docu-
ment of great value in the annals of
American finance because it tells the
official story of the financial opera
tions incident to the outbreak of the
world war of 1914, from the govern
ment point of view. On the purely
financial side, this administration is
destined to bulk large in history for
two reasons: The new federal re-
serve banking system is one; the I'M
precedented financial crisis caused by
the war is the other. The secretary
of the treasury in this report, reviews
episode after episode since August l
that combined will hereafter make
one of the most memorable chapters
in the history of the treasury depart
ment Future students of this period
will marvel that the Wilson admins
tration was bitterly denounced as
hostile to business" while it was
scoring a great triumph in carrying
the burden of the most extraordinary
emergency known to modern finance.
There is still almost no recognition of
this fact by the people, least of all
by bankers and business men.-Spring-
field Republican.

M'ADOO PRAISES STABILITY
OF U. S. IN TRADE CRISIS
Sees Great Era of Prosperity Next
Year-On His Way to
California.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-W. G. McAdoo,
secretary Of the treasury, stopped in
Chicago a few hours on his way to
California.
81 consider it phenomenal that this
country should have gone through
such a period of business stagnation
without a panic" the secretary said
in substance. But everywhere are
the signs of reaction. l look to
tremendous era of prosperity next
year. The tide has turned and con-
ditions are already greatly improved
over what they were six months ago.
We are going to have the greatest
period of prosperity we have ever
seen.
What effect has the railroad freight
rate increase had in Chicago? Are
the roads taking on more men?" he
asked
Il am receiving reports from all
over the country which show that the
rate increase and the organization of
the reserve banks have done, much
toward steadying business conditions"
How about the effect of the Euro
pean war;" he was asked.
ANY war is injurious to the world,
yet we have reached the point where
the present war is in some ways an
actual benefit. Ever since it began
we have unconsciously begun to econo-
mize, more so than we did during the
financial stringency which preceded

ALIVE TO SITUATION
Administration Is Awake to
Needs of National Defense.
Able Report of Secretary of War Gar
rison Should Convince the Coun-
try That the Matter Is in
Safe Hands.

If any honest and sircere person
has really believed that the Wilson
administration was Indifferent to the
question of national defense and not
fully alive to its responsibilities in
the unlikely event of war his doubt
should be removed by an unbiased
reading of the very able report of
Secretary of War Garrison and of the
testimony of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels before the naval committee of
the house of representatives. Espe-
cial significance attaches to the views
of Secretary Garrison, because it is
well known that he more than any
other member of the cabinet is the
chosen confidant of President Wilson.
1t was because of the presidents con-
fidence in the excellence of his judg
ment that he was elevated from his
judicial post in New Jersey to his
present position, where he has fully
vindicated the faith placed in him.
When President Wilson's message
to congress and the report of the sec
rotary, which, of course, was first
submitted to the president, are taken
in conjunction they form a very adj
mirable statement of the attitude of
the administration toward the whole
question of national defense. The
president, refusing to yield to any
passing hysteria, eloquently stated
the traditional position of the people
of the United States toward war, and
his opposition to large standing
army Entirely consistent with this
position is Secretary Garrison's adj
vocacy of increasing our present small
army by adding $4,000 men and in
other ways Strengthening the military
power of the government. His other
wise suggestions, based upon care
full study of our present defenses,
doubtless reflect in detail the views
which the president stated in a general
form in his message.
In all the information which the adj
ministration has readily placed before
the committees of congress there has
been no disposition to withhold any
thing, to gloss over defects or exag-
gerate dangers. President Wilson and
his advisers have shown that they are
making the best possible use of the
resources at hand. That is all that
the American people wish them to do.

Russians Said to Be Holding Germans
in Check Along the Lower Wis
tuIa and the PiIica-Losses

Berlin, Dec. 31-The following COM
ment on the military situation was
issued on Tuesday by the official press
bureau:
In view of the fact that previous
reports from headquarters that oper
alton were proceeding favorably gen.
orally have been followed eventu-
justified in considering the situation
in the East as promising a successful
outcome for the Germans.
This view, however, is undoubtedly
too optimistic and the fact must be
faced that the Russians extreme left
wing is proving itself superior to its
opponents for the present.
THE Russians action in strengthen
ing their forces there undoubtedly is
due to their realization of what the
encircling of their flank in Galicia
would signify
London, Dec 31-The main Aus
trian army, under General Boehm-
Ermolli, which was prevented from
Joining the western Austrian army by
the Russians on Christmas day, ap-
parently is nearing dissolution.
Vienna officially admits that the
Austrians are avoiding the Russian
attacks" and that the attacks in the
Carpathian passes are very severe"
Petrograd reports that the retreat
ing Austrians, estimated to number
175000, are struggling in disorderly
fashion through the Carpathians, with
the retreat becoming more and more
disorderly. That the Austrians are
offering little rear-guard resistance is
indicated by Russian claims that they
have made 200 officers and $4,000 sol
diers prisoners in the last nine days.
Russian military circles point out
that all the important passages OF the
Carpathians are again in Russian
hands, and that those still held by the
Austrians afford them no advantage.

Who shall live up to the great trust?
Who dares fail to try? l summon all
honest men, all patriotic, all forward
looking men, to my side. God helping
me, I will not fail them if they will
but counsel and sustain me-" This is
a compelling appeal, and all true and

president to redeem the party pledges
