TALKS ABOUT CROSS STATE ROAD
Mr.. Bates Cannot Say How Much
Money Will Be Available for It's
Improvement Coming Season.

Stoddard b. Bates Of Franklin,
state highway commissioner. who was
here Tuesday for annual conference
with the road commissioners of Wind
ham county, says it is impossible to
make a definite statement as to the
amount of money that can be expended
this year on the proposed improvement
of the highway from BrattlebOro to
Bennington.
While Brattleboro. Wilmington.
Marlboro and Bennington made sizea-
BILE road appropriations and the intent
of those towns is that a considerable
portion of their appropriations shall be
spent on this highway, the exact
amount that may be spent on this work
cannot be determined in advance.
The same is true of the state money
which is used to supplement that of
the towns for road work. Mr.. Bates
is allowed an amount that must be
spent throughout the state on selected
highways and he says that he cannot
take all of the appropriation that will
he spent in Windham county and put
it on one road. Circumstances, too
may upset any plans that are worked
out in advance of the time when actu-
al work can be started.
Mr.. Bates strongly wishes to see that
particular highway much improved
but he is not allowing his personal de-
sires to run away with his judgment
or the necessity of apportioning the
amount of money at his disposal among
the many towns of the state.
In an interview Monday he coulc
not be persuaded to even approximate
a definite statement as to the amount
of money he thought might be, or could
be, expended on this highway. AS i,
well known, road appropriations arc
left to the Judgment of the town road
commissioner and selectmen with tn,
approval of the state highway com
missioner. Mr.. Bates left the impress
sion that he would not quarrel witt
any road commissioner who desired tC
spend substantial amount on this
road.

BE INDICATED
Cost of IranSIating "AmeriCa
First Should Not Be Considered
PEOPLE SHOULD GUIDE POLICIES
OF COUNTRY.
Puts Forward Golden Rule and As
serts He is Ready to Fight For 1t
Regardless Of Cost to Himself.

ELPHIA-President Wilson
describing himself as Gin a fighting
mood" enunciated Thursday to a large
crowd in Independence square his con-
ception Of some of the cardinal Am
erican ideals.
He declared that America, in deal
ing with other nations must "vindi-
cate at whatever cost" its principles
Of liberty, justice and humanity; that
America first" must be translated
into action exalting it above all self
ish interests and that the nations
policy and development must be guild
ed by the whole people, and not by
any small group.
Applause repeatedly interrupted the
address. The crowd liked particular
ly the presidents declaration that Am
erican principles must be indicated
in the cOuntry's foreign relations,
which apparently was interpreted as
referring to the Mexican situation. At
no time, however, did Mr.. Wilson men
ton Mexico or any other foreign ma
ton directly
II believe" the president said, that
America, the country we put first in
cur thoughts, should be ready in
every point of policy and of action to
vindicate at whatever cost the princi-
pies of liberty, of justice and of hui
mainly to which we have been devoted
from the first.
Il believe that at whatever cost
America should be just to other peo-
pie and treat other people as she de-
mands that they should treat her She
has a right to demand that they treat
her with justice and respect and she
has a right to insist that they treat
her in that fashion, but she cannot
with dignity or with self respect in
sist upon that unless she is willing to
act in that same fashion toward them
THAT l am ready to fight for at
any cost to myself"
Urging that the whole people should
shape the national policies, the presi-
dent said that some pretended to
believe in the average man, but when
they acted they showed they did not.
America first means nothing I'M
til you translate it into what youdo,
was statement that brought pro-
longed applause Cheers also greeted
the presidents declaration that, while
he was not interested in fighting fol
himself, he was immensely interested
in fighting for the things that l be-
lieve in and so far as they are con-
cerned, l am a challenger to all com
ers."
Officially the president addressed
delegates to the convention of the AS
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs of the
World, but a mixed crowd heard him
He spoke in the open air, under the
shadow of Independence hall. He left
for Washington Immediately after the
address.

DEAN PERKINS
TAKES DAYS PLACE
Boise Real Estate Man VIII Take Up
Land Commissioners Work August
LIST, Board Rules Unanimously.

BOISE-At a meeting of the state
land board on Thursday afternoon,
Dean Perkins, a Boise real estate deal
er, was appointed to take the place of
State Land Commissioner George A.
Day, resigned. Perkins is to assume
office on August 1.
Commissioner Day resigned follow
ing troubles in the land board that
grew, indirectly, out of the Huston
land loan cases.
Perkins was for a while an APP
pointee of the land board in the state
treasurers office, taking the place of
L. L. Folsom, who was peremptorily
dismissed by the board. He gave up
the position when State Treasurer
Eagleson appointed another man to
the same place and when it began to
look as if there would be contest
between the state treasurer and the
land board for authority to fill the
position.
The board took no action in the
matter of a register, it being under
stood that Heber Hale is to hold the
place for the time being.
The vote on Perkins was unanimous
although at first the governor was ex
cused from voting.

MAKE BIG REDUCTIONS
ON THEIR 1917 PRICES
Maxwell Motor Company Brings Cost
of Touring Car Down to $685.; Road
ster to $3.50.

A most interesting announce
ment for 1917, with regard
to automobiles in the lower-priced
geld. comes from the Maxwell Motor
company, Inc, of Detroit This an
nouncement is that the price on their
touring car and roadster is materially
lowered The touring car is reduced
from $685. to $685.; the roadster from
$685. to $780,
In this definite announcement of a
substantial reduction in price, the
Maxwell company also announces that
there will be no changes in the car.
This confirms all previous announce
ments that the Maxwell car is now a
standardized product Walter e. Elan
ders, president and general manager
of the Maxwell company, and the able
corps of engineering and manufactur-
ing experts he has gathered around
him are convinced that their product
has attained such a uniform degree of
excellence that the necessity for radi-
cal changes in design and construc-
ton has been eliminated.
The change in Maxwell prices be-
came effective July 1.
In explaining the reason for the big
reduction in the price of Maxwell
cars, the manufacturers declare that
increased production made it possible
1.-THE manufacturing cost per car
has been greatly reduced by our in
creased production" said Mr.. Elan
ders. Our plants at Detroit, Dayton
and Newcastle have been taxed tc
their capacity to supply the orders OF
dealers We have made arrangements
for the manufacture of 100000 cars
for this year and we know from the
enthusiasm with which our 1917 an.
nouncement was received that thi:
number will be disposed of easily.
Certainly no other car in this field
can point to the consistent perform
ance behind the 1916 Maxwell. This
car has given such excellent salts
faction under all conditions that w
would not feel justified to change
in any particular"
The same manufacturing policy will
obtain in the Maxwell plants, tn
standard Maxwell chassis being useC
for five different body designs. Thes
designs include a streamline fiYe-pas
senger touring car, a two passenge
roadster a two-passenger cabriOlet,
six-passenger town car and a six-pas
senger sedan.
The sedan is the newest Maxwell
model, having been added to the lin

troops of the Tenth cavalry who at
Carrizal, Villa Ahumanda, chihuahua
City and Juarez have been central fig
ures in the most striking and poten-
tial chapters of the Mexican situation,
are once more safely out of Mexico
Survivors Of a bloody battle with a
vastly superior force; victims twice Of
mobs that stoned them; more than
once gripped with the fear of execu-
ton for their part in the Boyd expedi-
tion and, lastly, objects of interces-
sion by the president of the United
States, they were brought to the Dor
der from Chihuahua City on special
train Thursday and turned over to
General George Bell, jr., commander
of the Ell Paso base.
Two stories, widely diverging, were
brought back from their captivity by
the prisoners.
One told by Spillsbury, upholds
statements he was credited with MAX
ing at Chihuahua City, charging Cap
tain Boyd with "bull-headedness" in
advancing in the face of a certain
Mexican attack.
The other, narrated by fighting men
of the Tenth, declares the Mexicans tc
have been the aggressOrs and blames
them for the ensuing slaughter.
The latter account is embellishet
with charges that have hitherto beer
brought to light.
Private William d. Gibson declared
he was certain that after the Ameri-
cans had left the field of the Carriza
battle, the Mexicans went over it anc
killed several Americans who were
wounded but still alive.
Gibson's assertion was corrobrated
by Privates Archie Jones and Luther
Alexander
Numerous others of the troopers
claimed they had been robbed of mon
ey and valuables following their cap
ture.
