American Enemies and Friends

More than in any other country the govern
iIlent OF the United States is compelled to keep
its. proclaimed neutrality not only toward the
oellgerents but also in its own country, which
IS composed of mixture of all natonalities.
II does not need to be proved that this govern
ment IN its relations toward Germany and Great
Britain has not remained neutral either as to
the letter or the sense of the word neutrality.
Otfieial North America openly and so continu-
ously has favored enemies and especially
Great Britain that its action is anything else save

Some substantial part of the original improvement must remain, however, and to constitute a repair the pro- posed operation must contemplate the use of that part of the old improve ment still remaining and must further contemplate a completed work that will be substantially like the original"

WHAT |S MEANT BY
 ROAD MAINTENANCE

One of the most important economic problems in connection with the public works of the country is to keep those roads in good condition which were improved at a large expense. It is just like a mans clothing problem: with a little attention whenever it is needed he can keep his garments in a neaH serviceable condition much longer than if he neglects them and he con- sequently does not require so many new clothes If roads are kept in good condition. they will last longer than if they are neglected.
 Congress has definitely refused to extend federal aid to any state for roadbuilding after the state has failed 10 keep roads built with previous fed eral grants in a condition of proper maintenance" This requirement is likely to create some discussion, be- cause the word maintenance" is em- ployed by different highway officials to mean work for somewhat different pur- poses. In New York, for instance, maintenance" has been defined as the preservation of the various features of a road in substantially their original condition. In that state road repair

LOOK OUT FUR ROAD
 SW|NDLERS, WARMING

There are always swindlers hanging around every great enterprise, particu- larly those of national character. Everybody well acquainted with the history of road propaganda knows of some of these rascals and has expected some of the breed to try to turn a dishonest penny in connection with the federal aid road law.
 One such has already made his ap- pearance in one state. He claimed to represent one of the numerous asso- citations advocating the construction of through highways. He urged com munities to join his organization on the ground that through its help a federal aid road could be secured for the districts. The United States gov ernment is now attending to his case. so this particular incident may be con sidered closed But there is every probability that like attempts will be made to swindle towns. cities and com mercial organizations with an asser- tion of influence in the selection of roads to receive federal aid. Such as- sertions are absolutely without foun- dation, and in the interest of good roads and good government they should be reported immediately to the t. S office of public roads at Washington
 Any district or organization which wishes to secure federal aid in road building must take the matter up with the state highway department of it's state. for the United States, under the law, can deal only with state highway departments in extending aid for road building. It Is a reasonable inference from the facts that anybody who claims an association he represents can influence the United States govern ment in this work should be regarded with suspicion

OLSON UNMASKS
MARVEL IN BOUT

After gaining the first fall in thirty
ed Marvel, wrestler, in his handicap
match with Charles Olson at the
Eagles hall last night, was forced to
extend himself to prevent his own
shoulders from being pinned to the
mat. Conditions of the bout were
that the Marvel should throw Olson
twice within one hour.
A fair house witnessed the unique
match, which was hotley contested
from start to finish. Weights of the
men were announced at 1913 and 1872,
with Olson having the sixteen ounce
advantage. The Marvel was the taller
of the two.
The Wonder took the first fall by
pinning Olson's shoulders with a bar
and scissor hold. Olson had shown
ability to hold his own with the phe-
nom, and the fall was the result of
the hardest kind of effort on the part
of the Marvel
Within ten minutes before the
elapse of time Olson became aggres-
sive and carried the fight to his OPP
ponent. Five minutes before time
was called Olson had the Wonder all
but down The Wonder, however,
managed to elude the grip of his ad
versary.
Toward the close of the match Olson
in his efforts to down his rival tore
the mask from the face of the Won
der. Nothing startling other than the
rather good looking features of the
big Swede were exposed. The Won
der finished the bout maskless.
