POOR ROADS AND FARMS.

No sane person will dispute the eco
nomic value of good roads. Look about
your native town. and you will find that
those farms or houses located on
well-kept public highway possess
a higher valuation than places less ia
vorably situated, says the Country
side Magazine" When these are for
sale they command better price, and
a purchaser is not difficult to find.
There are many farms so located that
because Of poor roads and the difhcul-
ties Of trans portation thew cannot mar
kct their crops TO advantage. The
amount Of their sales is less than the
cost OF marketing farm produce. This
IS one reason why so much of our New
England farm land is allowed to run
10 waste. and II accounts in a large
measure for so many abandoned farms.
They do not pay, and poor roads figure
largely in the case.

ALLIES EXPECTED
TO MEET DEMAND
Reply to Wilson'S Note
Will Be Satisfactory to
the u. S., 1t Is Said.
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington, May 27.-The reply Of
the British and French governments
TO the American protest against seizure
of mails will be satisfactory, according
to official predictions to-day. New
measures adopted for the rapid hand
ling and examination Of mail matter
are declared TO render it highly unlike
ly that any unreasonable delays will BE-
suffered in future.
The Allied governments are wholly
in accord with the United States on
the principles involved. The difficulty
is declared to be merely question of
methods. The United States has grant
cd the right of belligerents TO examine
mail matter for contraband and enemy
property, and the Allied powers will
undertake to reduce the annoyances in
cident to il TO a minimum. The formal
answer TO the American note is eY-
pected within two weeks.
The British Embassy announced to-
day that instructions had been given
mail censors not to hold up remittarces
for the maintenance of Americans m
Germany. The German government has
published the charge that American
residents there were suffering because
of the seizure of money orders and
drafts. The difficulty of distinguish
ing American remittances from those
to German subjects has led the en-
bassy to suggest that payments to
American citizens be accompanied by
papers establishing their innocence.
II is pointed out by the embassy. in
this connection. that the following
statement was issued by the German
government advertising the fourth
German war loan:
I'VE absolutely guarantee prompt
arrival in Berlin OF all amounts in
trusted TO us in payment Of war loan

These have followed intensive investi-

Money Needed for Further Efforts.
But the work is not done. Means to
the end must include the financial as

The surveys made during the year
1914 had shown that in rural commune

than so per cent of the people were

In Berkeley county, W.. Va. the cases

The National Guard
saturday Evening Post)


Experience at the Mexican Border
shows plainly enough that the Nation
al Guard is very ill-suited to regular
army work. A hundred thousand
young civilians, mainly dependent
for livelihood and the support of
their families upon modest salaries
or wages. were abruptly taken from
their customary paths and sent upon
strenuous public business, for which,
on the whole, they were not WE'LL
trained or we'll equipped.
1t is lasting disgrace to the nation
that the guardsmen had scarcely
answered the Presidents summons be-
fore agencies in various cities were
passing the hat for pennies to save
their families from want. Many en-
ployers promised to keep the guards
mems places open for them and to
continue their pay. We know of one
by no means plutocratic concern that
was put to a charge of several hun
dred dollars a month in paying SAL
aries and wages of absent guards
men.
Why should this comparatively
small business bear that grossly dis
proportionate tax for national de-
lSHSS- IAepoFtS SHOW IilaJ, as regt-
ments returned from the Border.
many guardsmen found themselves
out of jobs and with empty pockets.
Why should these patriotic guards
men bear that grossly disproportion-
ate burden?
The National Guard is constitution
ally ill-suited to regular-army work.
That part of the new army bill which
pretends to adapt it to such work,
by making it more extensively sub
ject to federal control and contribut-
ing fifty million dollars to a year. or
more, of federal money to its sup
port, is only transparent and pork
barely sham. 1t ought to be repeal
ed.
Conscription, for which our anna
teur militarists are so ardent = is
that the remedy?
BY no means. Evolving an army of
ten millions, when every tangible
probability can be met with five per
cent of that number, would be more
absurd than relying upon the Nation
al Guard. Our national situation no
more calls for universal military ser
vice on the Continental plan than the
situation of Chicago calls for universal
police service.
Like Chicago, we should have a
police force adequate to probable
needs; and we should get it in the
same way - that is. by increasing n
regular army of fairly paid profess
ional soldiers.

PARIS AND MARY GARDEN

MERE is humor even in tragedy.
Paris gravely chiding Mary
Garden for wearing too frivol-
Gus clothes illustrates the point. Two
years of war have warped the French
point of view. The sun of peace and
prosperity does not shine for Paris
therefore the whole world must be a
gray, drab place. Paris forgets that
while tears were flowing and hearts
were aching elsewhere in other DAYS
her boulevards were scenes of color
and animation-and her fashion fac
tories were working double turn.
Paris is distraught. Two years hence
the gown designers of the City by the
Seine again will be bidding against
each other for the privilege of cater
ing to the vagaries of Miss Gardens
desires for something different" in
dress.
