GOOD ROADS MOVE INTER-
ESTS GARRETT COUNTY
Linked Highway Will Bring thousands
Of Tourists Through Here.

The activity of good roads boosters
reported in Tucker county, W. Va,
which conferred around a mass meeting
in Thomas Friday evening, created
some interest here. The building of
good roads in Tucker and Preston
county, W. Va, will supply one of the
missing links in the Appalachian high
way which is to extend from Maine to
Louisiana along the crest of the APP
palachian mountains.
Since the new road system IN West
Virginia will be connected to the Mary
land highways near Oakland it is an as
slred fact that the Appalachian high
way will traverse the National pike be-
tween points close enough to this place
and Cumberland to make the project
matter of very great interest to Garretl
county people.
The Southern Appalachian Good
Roads Association, of which W. E. G.
Hitchins, of Frostburg, is one of the
vice presidents, is backing The APP
palachian Highway. one of the new
est of the great through routes to at
tract public attention.
The project was launched at the
Southern Appalachian good roads con-
vention held in Bluefeld, W. Va,
October, 1915.
The route selected begins at Calais,
Maine, and runs via Bangor, Maine;
Montpelier, Vermont; Lake George and
Albany, N. Y, Williamsport, Pa
Oakland, Md; Elkins and Bluefeld, W.
Va; Bristol, Tenn; Ashville, N. c.;
Birmingham, Ala, to New Orleans.
The route follows the chain of the Ap-
palachian mountains and it is claimed
that the highwaw will be the most
b autiful from scenic standpoint to
be foundlanywhere in America.

kAIsER,s COUNTER DRIVE.

London.-The battle on the Somme
front which began a week ago and
has continued since with brief lulls
is still being fought by British and
Germans with utmost subbornness.
An indication of the importance the
Germans attach to defending their
third line is found in the report of
Gen. Haig, the British commander
and in the German admission that
troops have been brought from before
Verdun in order to lend all possible
rength to Gen Won Einem
The British, although they are max
ing only slow progress, have been
able to repulse all the fierce German
counter attacks and fully maintain
their ground, although the fighting
consists largely of hand to hand con-
ficts.
The British are tenaciously holding
to the portions of the village from
which they drove the Germans, and
with their artillery fire have repulsed
an attempt by the German infantry
to regain possession Of the northeast
ern portion.
While the German lines along the
Dvina were crumpling up before one
OF the greatest and most furious at
tacks of the war, the Kaiser and his
chief of staff were rushing with all

German disaster, oblivtous for the
time being to all developments on the
western front.

HUGHES RAPs DIVIDED LOYALTY.
Justice Makes Address at Washington
to Young Woman Graduates.

Washington.-In the seclusion of
the National Cathedral school lawn,
where he was presenting an American
flag to the honor graduate, Justice
Charles e. Hughes on June made his
first public address since the opening
Of the preconvention campaign. He
told the young women graduates that
the flag meant America first, an un-
divided allegiance, and a nation unit
ed and equal to it's tasks"
This flag means more than associa.
ton and reward" said the Justice, 1T
is the symbol Of our national unity,
our national endeavor, of our national
aspiration. 1t tells you of the struggle
for independence; of the union pre-
served; OF liberty and union, one and
lnseparable; of the sacrifices of brave
men and women to whom the ideals
and honor Of this nation have been
dearer than life.
1T means America first; 1t means
an undivided allegiance. 1t means
America united, strong and efficient,
equal to its tasks. 1t means that you
cannot be saved by the valor and dc.
votion of your ancestors; that to each
generation comes its patriotic duty,
and that upon your willingness to sac
rifice and endure, as those before you
have sacrificed and endured, rests the
national hope"

FIFTY KILLED IN

Little Rock, Ark.--F'ifty-nin per-
sons are reported killed and more
than 100 injured in series of lorna
does which swept Arkansas Monday
afternoon. All means of communica-
ton are crippled and 1t is feared the
list of dead and injured will be great
ly increased by later reports.
The dead thus far reported are as

known dead and fifty injured.
Heber Springs, eighteen dead.
De Lark, Dallas county, four dead.
Cabot, White county, five dead.

North Arkansas appears to have
suffered most severely, although the
storm was general throughout the
state.
At Judsonia one-third of the town
was said to have been swept away.
Twenty-Five bodies and fifty injured
already have been taken from the
ruins.
Wire service is almost paralyzed
throughout the state and many hours
probably will elapse before the full
extent of the storm is known.
Near Morrillton a negro was killed
and negress was blown away In the
storm. She has not been found. A
white woman and several children
also were hurt.
A score or more Of persons were in
jured on the outskirts of Little Rock

GET OUT Of MEXICO
SAYS GEN. CARRANzA
DEMANDS THE IMMEDIATE WITH
DRAWAL OF AMERICAN TROOPS
FROM MEXICAN SOIL.
Regards Second Punitive Expedition
as a Violation Of the Sovereignty
Of Mexico and an Act OF
Invasion.

Mexico City.-Claiming that the
words and protests of the United
States have been entirely In contra
diction of their acts and that in spite
OF protests not to intervene in the af-
fairs of Mexico, soldiers of the Unit
ed States are In Mexico without the
consent OF the Mexican government
and in violation of Mexlco's sovereign
ty, the Mexican government now asks
for the immediate withdrawal OF these
troops. The request is made in a
12,OO0-word note made public at the
foreign office on May 81.
The note recites that the American
troops crossed the border after the
Columbus incident without the per-
mission OF the Mexican government.
The act was not considered one of in
vasion then solely because the United
States said they had misinterpreted
the attitude of the Mexican govern
ment. When the second expedition
crossed the line after the Glenn
Springs incident, the note maintains
the plea that this was done with the
SOhochS VI tuO MtAlCdu Cououi AT Dci
Rio, Texas, lis untenable and that that
act can only be considered as one of
invasion.
THE Mexican government therefore
invites the United States to bring to
an end this unsupportable situation"
the note concludes, "and to support
its protestations and declarations OF
friendship by an immediate with
drawal of American troops"
Maintaining that the protests Of
friendship by the United States and
the expressed desire for noninterven-
ton has been contradicted by the acts
of the Washington government, the
note says the time has arrived when
Washington must declare itself clear
ly and unequivocally as to its future
intentions toward Mexico.
THE Mexican government cannot
wish war with the United States" the
note continues. "and II this should &C.
cur 1t would undoubtedly be as a con-
sequence OF a deliberate purpose Of
the United States. For the time be-
ing the above precautionary acts in
dictate that there is a purpose OF pre-
paredness for such emergency, or that
which is the same, the beginning of
hostilitles on the part OF the United
States toward Mexico

TROOPS TO STAY
DESPITE THREATS
cARRANzA's NOTE WILL NOT IN.
FLuENcE GOVERNMENT TO
RECALL PERSHiNG.
Regarded In Official Circles as Mos,
Offensive Document Ever Received
by United States In Diplomatic
Intercourse.

Washington. General Carranza's
note demanding withdrawal of Ameri
can troops from Mexico has brought
no change in the determination OF
President Wilson to maintain the pres,
ent troop disposition until the ability
OF the de facto government to police
its side of the border has been demon
strated. 1t was stated authoritatively
on Thursday that General Pershing's
force would remain where II is until
that time arrived.
A reply will be made to General
Carranza, but the form it will take has
not been determined.
While official comment Is withheld,
1t Is understood that the tone of the
document Is regarded as decidedly Of
fensive, and that certain portions Of
1t, such as the thinly yelled accusation
that the president Is playing domestic
politics in retaining the troops in
Mexico, may draw a sharp rebuke. It
Is doubtful, according to authorities on
the international correspondence of
the United States, whether the gov
eminent ever has received commu.
nication couched In as offensive terms
and containing as many apparent vio-
lations Of the ordinary uses of diplo.
matte courtesy as this 12,000-word ar.
raignment of its good faith and hon.
esty of purpose.
President Wilson himself will de-
eide what course shall be pursued.
The Mexican note was sent by mes.
senger, requiring a week in transit,
and was further delayed after it's ar.
rival here. Officials felt there can be
no question of urgency in a communi.
cation so handled, and will not treat it
as a pressing matter.
