THREE CLASSES OF H W
Classification 10 Prime Step In Fed
eraI Aid to Good Roads, Says
Congressman Borland.

With various bills before congress
for federal aid to road building the
classification of highways so that
important through routes may be out
lined clearly from the country's maze
Of thoroughfares of one kind or an
other, becomes q question OF more
and more interest. Congressman ".
p. Borland of Missouri, q good-roads
advocate, has expressed himself on
this subject as follows:
1T will be necessary, in my judg-
ment, to classify all existing high.
ways into at least three classifications.
The first class is that of the great
cross-state or interstate highways.
The second consists of the main
feeders or great country roads;
and third, the by-roads, local roads
or lanes. These various classes Of
roads should be built, improved and
maintained with q view to the
amount Of traffic that they can bear
and must bear. The first class should
be Of the most permanent and scien-
tifc construction. The second class
could be Of q less expensive nature
and would need less maintenance.
The third class could be improved
only to the extent that the community
required. The expense Of building
and maintaining these roads should
be distributed upon the same basis.
"The roads Of the first class should
be supported by the taxing power Of
a large area Of country. The second
class Of roads should also have q
wide taxing power at least co-exten.

with q group of counties or with
some state aid. This would leave

politicians may twist and turn and
argue about the question. we must
eventually come to some scientific

Carrizal Battle
MEDIATION TALK is REVIVED
Cause for War Held to Be Lessened
by Action of Mexicans-ReIease Of
Captives Believed to Mark
Change in Carranza Policy.

Ell Paso.-Twenty-three United States
troopers OF the Tenth Cavalry and
one Mormon interpreter, taken pris-
oner in the fight at Carrizal, whose
release has been demanded by Presi.
dent Wilson. were turned over TO the
American authorities It the Interna.
tional Bridge between Juarez and FL
Paso.
Gen. CarranZa's method of making
1t known that he had acceded to the
Presidents demand is precisely the
method employed OF warning Gen.
Pershing not to advance in any direc.
tion on peril OF attack. The news
came through Gen. Jacinto Trevino.
Carranza commander in Chihuahua,
whom the State Department charac-
terized, in its demand on Gen. Car.
rama, as "a subordinate military
commander"
Gen. Bell, commanding the Ameri.
can troops at and around El Paso.
was formally notified by Mexican Con-
sui Garcia that Gen. Trevino had Civ.
en- orders for the prisoners to be sent
to Juarez and turned over to the
United States authorities. Gen. Bell
promptly reported the news to Gen.
Funston at San Antonio.
Gen. Bells information was that
the prisoners, with all their uniforms,
arms and equipment, and all horses
picked up by the Mexican troops, were
then on their way to JuareZ. Gen.
Bell detailed a guard to cross the
international bridge and receive the
entire outfit. The two wounded troop
ers among the twenty-five were able
to travel without difficulty.
Despite the surrender OF the pris.
oners, it is the universal belief here
that Gen. Carranza intends TO stand
by his guns so far as the fight at
that the Mexican troops were abso'
lutely justified in attacking the AM
ericans. 1t is believed that did he
do otherwise the de facto Govern
ment would collapse before the wave
of indignation that would sweep
Mexico.
1T is plain" said Consul Garcia,
"the American Government will not
contend its commander was blame
less at Carrizal. Therefore the First
Chief is willing to meet the United
States half way"
Gen. Trevino announced that Car.
rama had decided to urge that the
differences between Mexico and the
United States be submitted to arbitra.
ton. He is understood to have ap-
pointed a committee to represent the
de facto Government.
