WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK
LINKED BY GOOD HIGHWAY
telocatlons Caused Delay In Compile

lnntn Route In Ready.


The national capital and New York
City arc ut last linked together by
good highway. The completion of the
short stretch OF road between Principle
Furnace and North East. Maryland,
makes 1t possible. for tho first time, for
motorists to travel between the two
cities over n nearly perfect roadway.
This part of the route would have been
completed last year but for q reloca-
ton which was not contemplated when
the contract was first let. Another re-
location was made near Kingsvillo
which materially improves this route
by tho elimination Of two hills.
Observation-Disclosures who plan to use
n Southern route one way Will find that
a great deal of work has been done
during 1914. and much better conditions
prevail than is generally supposed. The
Washing ton tlanta route Is
completed except for two miles of road
between POhick and Lawton. and about
eight miles In Prince William County.
While no State, county or Fcdcb FUNDS
are available to complete this road. the
automobile clubs of Virginia are rails

the road viii be in good condition be-
fore summer. The United States ONCE
OF Public Roads has undertaken the
maintenance Of this highway, and has
appointed three of it's engineers to ad-
wise M to the best means Of keeping 1t
in good condition.
Until such time as the two links in
Virginia arc completed. motorists Will
probably use the Shenandoah Valley.
The valley pike between Winchester
and stanton was much improved dur
ing 1914 and Is now in better condi-
ton than ever before. Connecting
with this pike, the stone road through
Berryvillc, UaIltown and Hagerstown
is In splendid shape. and there Is hard
Il n foot Of the road from Baltimore
Via Frederick, Hagcrstown. Bcrryville
TO stanton in poor condition.
West Of the Mississippi much money
has already been spent to make
Southern route practicable. The State
Of Arkansas has let contracts for ten
miles of road TO connect with the bridge
just north of Memphis. and eleven miles
10 connect with the ferry from Trottcr's
Landing to Helena This is psN'ticular-
l. pleasing, as that part Of the South
crn National Highway has always been
in very bad condition. New Mexico
highway officials are cooperating with
the road associations and have con-
structcd good highway between Las
Cruces and Dcrn!ng. This considerably
shortens the route to Phoenix, Ariz..
and eliminates the poor stretch into FL

This is the statement Of S. d. Walden.

across the continent. this experienced
driver no longer carries a heavy supplv

aging news to lovers of the steering
wheel who have regarded a transcon-
tinental tour with misgivings
Walden does not minimize the hard
work and difficulties inevitably involved
on such a trip. but declares renssur
ingly: "The worst sand stretches on
the Lincoln Highway are not over 100
yards long. There are occasional
pieces of road more or less sandy. and
as much as forty miles at a time, but
the really bad sand that Is to be dread
ed on account of It's loose, shifting
qualities. is found in only three or four
places.
"I have made the journey many times
and am always fascinated by the
grandeur of the desert country ira
versed by the Lincoln Highway. IT
Is not as easy as a Pullman ride. but
the difficulties along the way are al

the tourist has to decide Is whether

DRAFT OF THE GERMAN REPLY
TO UNITED STATES NOTE
RECEIVED.
CRITICAL ASPECT REMAINS
From the Draft Submitted by Ambas-
sador Gerard Indications Are That
Germany Not Prepared to
Yield to U. S.

Washington-Germany has submit
ted Informally to the United States
through Ambassador Gerard in Berlin
q tentative draft of it's reply to the
note of June 8, which asked for assur
ances that AMERICAN rights on the
high seas would not be further VIC
lated by German submarine command
ers.
After careful examination of the con
tents of the proposed note as outlined
by Ambassador Gerard, which coin
cides with Berlin press dispatches,
high officials are practically agreed
that the United States cannot, without
sacrificing important neutral rights, ex-
press its approval of the German pro-
posals in their present form.
The draft was shown to Ambassa.
dor Gerard with the idea of eliciting
from him an expression of opinion and
he promptly asked for instructions
from Washington as to whether the
United States could make concessions.
President Wilson has been advised of
the situation In several long messages
sent to his summer residence at Cor
nish, N. H., and the impression Oh.
tanned from reliable quarters was that
the American government very prob
ably would instruct its ambassador
within q day or two to decline to ex.
press any view until after the formal
reply is delivered to him.
Just what Germany proposed has
not been officially divulged. Secre-
tary Lansing took the position that
1t would not be proper for him to dis
close Germany's position as inform.
ally reported by Mr.. Gerard without
authorization from the Berlin govern
ment.
President Wilson has before him
the views Of several cabinet officers,
some OF whom believe that 1t is es-
sential to have Ambassador Gerard
make clear to the German foreign or
nce that the United States can make
no concessions from its position as
based on the accepted rules of inter
national law and the naval prize codes
Of civilized nations.
From the feeling of the officials who
expressed an opinion 1t is clearly ap-
parent that important changes would
be necessary in Germany's attitude
before It could be reasonably hoped
that the formal reply would remove
from the negotiations the critical as
pect they have assumed.

Midnight Explosion Wrecks Reception
Room on East Side Of Building.

Washington. tremendous explo-
sion, believed to have been caused by
some kind of bomb or internal ma
chine, wrecked the public reception
room on. the east side OF the capitol
building shortly before midnight OF

Officials believe that the explosion
was placed by crank who desired to

corning the incident viii be made pub

The building had been closed since
dark and there was no one in it but
the watchmen and telephone switch
board operators. Waterman Jones on
the floor below at the east entrance
said he was blown from his chair.
The report could be heard for a
mile, and in few minutes crowd of
excited people had gathered.
While some officials thought the
explosion was the work of an ire
sponsible crank with no. other end in
view than a sensation, others SER
ously suggested that it might have
been perpetrated by some one dssir-
ing to demonstrate his disapproval of
some OF the policies OF the American
government.
