Monetary Recompense and Not the

Settled by Arbitration.

Washington, Sept, 4.-The question
of just what monetary recompense
shall be made to the United States by
Germany as the result of the loss Of
American lives by Germany's subma-

retary- of State Lansing made this
plain. But the secretary also pointed
out with directness that the principle
involved in the controversy between
Germany and the United States could
not be arbitrated because 1t involved
this country's national honor.
Secretary Lansing indicated that
this government expected no trouble

CHOLERA IN GERMANY
Twenty-Three Prison Camps In
feCted With the Disease.
Also Found In Austria, Russia, cey.
Ion, China, Egypt, lndla, Philip
pines, the Balkans and Italy.

Washington, Sept f-Twenty-
three prison camps in Germany in the
provinces of Silesia, Brandenburg,
Posen and ziska are infected with
cholera, according to an announce
ment here by the United states public
health service. A worldwide investi-
cation has just been completed by the
service. Cholera was iok ~ ins Aus
tria, Russia, Ceyion, China. Egypt,
Dutch East Indies, India, Philippines,
the Balkans, and near Venice and Leg
horn, Italy. AS result vessels from
those places will be denied landing at
any American ports.
1t has been impossible to obtain re-
ports from Russia recently, the an
nouncement stated. Conditions
throughout the country are declared
to be worse than at any other place
1t is believed that Russian prisoners
carried the cholera to the German
prison camps and to Austria.
The disease, 1t was reported, is also
widely prevalent in the Balkans. Many
cases of yellow fever, plague and
typhus were found in the countries in
fected With cholera. The public
health service instituted the investi
cation months ago in order to prevent
the disease from being spread to this
country through incoming ships. 1t
was announced that the strictest
watch would be placed on ships from
foreign ports at once. Not one will
be allowed into port that comes from
any of the cholera-infected districts.

Frankfort-The work of the Ken

is possible at this time to sum up what

ture. The bill creating the State
Board of Forestry and providing for
the appointment of a State Forester
was passed in March, 1912. Kentucky
was the first state of the real South to
undertake organized forestry work,
and the work was urged because of
the conviction on the part of few in
dividuals that the forest conditions in
the state had reached a point where
some active effort should be made for
the better protection, management and
extension Of the forests of Kentucky
in order that this resource might con-
tinue to play the part in the industrial
life that 1t had heretofore. Accord

derers, in the early dawn of Friday,
were put to death in the electric chair
at Sing Sing prison. The wholesale
electrocution was put through in quick
time and was without especial Incl
dent.
Reprleve Is Refused.
One of the men, Lewis Roach OF
Montgomery, convicted of the murder
of John Barrett Of Palatine, lived in
hope in the death house until the last
moment. A mysterious telephone call
to Father Cashin, chaplain Of the
prison. caused an appeal to be made
to Governor Whitman at midnight to
give the doomed man reprieve. The
effort was unavailing.
Besides Roach, the men executed
were Antonio Salemme of Monroe
county; William Perry Of New York;
Pasquale Vendette of Kings county,
and Thomas Tarpey of Kings county.
The first to die was Salemme. He
was electrocuted few minutes after
five o'clock, and the fifth man was
dead shoftly after six o'clock.
Three contacts Of the current were
necessary to kill Salemme, and the
same was true of Vendette, the sec
ond man. Roach was third, and he
delayed his execution long enough to
make final statement that he was in.
nocent. Tarpey was next and Perry
was the last to die.
Thank Prison Authorities.
After an investigation 1t was found
out that Deputy Sheriff E. P. Van VIE
Of Canajoharie sent the telephone
message to Father Cashin. 1t asked
that Roach be induced to confess.
Van VIE made trip to Albany to see
the governor and the prison officials
also communicated with the execu-
tive. but at midnight Governor Whit
man refused to interfere with the
execution of Roach.
Roach and Perry, negro, each left
a letter, thanking the prison authori'
ties. Neither referred to their crime
but wrote about religious subjects.

the people of the state a knowledge of
the relation OF the forests to the eco
nomic life of the state and the neces-
sity for conserving these natural re.
sources. A phase of the work that has
been most emphasized has been the
matter of forest protection. Prior to
1912 there had been no active effort in
the state to protect the forests from
fire and other destructive agencies.
Such efforts as had been made we're
local and sporadic.
The State Board OF Forestry initiat-
cd definite plan for forest protection,
which has been greatly aided by the
cooperation possible to the state with
the federal government whereby $4,000
annually is made available for use Of
the state. County forest wardens have
been appointed, forest protective asso-
Citations have been organized among

or three years among these to the ne

timber resources from forest fires.

through bringing to the attention OF

Road Building In Earnest.

At last the American people in
all the states are facing realities
in the construction of permanent
roads, and pushing the work with
courageous common sense, They
recognize the fact that a good road
costs a good deal Of money, and
that it is useless to wait for plans
to shift the outlay upon some
body else. The y are also convinc-
ed that well built highways are
one of the best paying invest
ments. Later on they will, with
equal courage, look to the neces-
sity of keeping up good roads
after they are obtained. In the
past the care of roads in this
country has been a sort of comic
opera performance for which tax
payers spent plenty of money,
and in which they generally par
ticipated with a few days of sham
labor each year. They took an
easy view of working the roads"
because they knew it to be a
fiction. When they figured on
the first cost Of a thoroughly
made road they gave it up as
something hardly to be hoped for
before the millennium.
Nevertheless, in forty-eight
states, an unprecedented activity
prevails in road building and
many counties of small population
and wealth are voting liberal a.
mounts to improve roads that
have been waiting for grading.
crews and stone crushers for a
hundred years and more. Long
continental lines, from east to
west and north to south, are re-
ceived with enthusiasm, and
lateral branches to join them
multiply on all sides. AS has
been frequently remarked, the
Romans knew how to build roads
that would last, and were not a.
fraid of the work and expense,
though money was scarce and
hard to borrow 1000 years ago.
A good road need not be an APP

it must be constructed on sound
principles, and not illustrate q
