MORE ROADS.

Okaloosa is the baby county of West
Florida, but it is a Hercules of baby.
Regarding roads, it has the wisdom of
the most grown-up county in the country.
Though it has not yet decided on its
county seat, it has called an election to
vote bond issue to build highway be-
tween Milligan and Holt-completing the
Spanish Trail entirely across Okaloosa.
It's roads, it's roads, it's roads that
progress rolls on, and what's the use of
having county or court house if you
don't have roads,
We haven't any doubt that the election
will carry, for interest in road building has
been greatly stimulated by the assurance
of the Ferry Pass bridge and the Apa-
lachicola bridge.
Here's to Okaloosa!

1t is estimated that there were
nearly six hundred licenses issued to
automobile owners for this fiscal
year, in Gadsden county, and with
the fee of S6 a car, minus the per-
centage of the state road commission,
the sum available for use of the roads
is about $4,000.
The ultimate value of the plan is
based on the belief that with the i'm
provement in the highways, by a

owners in the county will increase,

INTO AGREEMENT WITH CAR.
RAMA TO ENTER U. S.
COOPERATION is EXPECTED
Plans for Troop Movements Have
Gone Ahead Without Regard to Di-
piomatie Exchanges-To Pre-
vent Intervention.

Wdshfngton.-The United States
government entered into a formal
agreement with the Carranza govern
ment under which American troops
Will cross the border to hunt down
Villa and his bandits with the expec-
tation Of hearty cooperation from the
Carranza forces.
Secretary Lansing made public a
note accepting General Carranza's pro-
posal for reciprocal arrangement be-
tween the two governments and an
nouncing that the United States con-
siders this arrangement now in force
and binding upon both parties. Plans
for the troop movements have gone
ahead without regard to the diplo-
matte exchanges.
Mr.. Lansing also made public
statement issued in the name of Pres
ident Wilson, reiterating that every
step being taken by the administra-
ton is based on the deliberate inten-
ton to preclude the possibility OF
armed Intervention in Mexico.
This is the text of the reply to Gen.
eral Carranza's proposal sent to Amer
lean Consul Silliman:
"The government of the United
States has received the courteous
note Of Senor Acuna and has read with
satisfaction his suggestion for recpiro-
cal privileges to the American and
Mexican authorities in the pursuit ana
apprehension Of outlaws who infest
their respective territories lying
along the international boundary and
who are a constant menace to the
lives and property of residents of that
region. 80
"The government of the United
States understands that in view Of its
agreement to this reciprocal arrange
ment proposed by the de facto gov
ernment, the arrangement is now COM
plete and in force and the reciprocal
privilege Hereunder may accordingly
be exercised by either government
without further interchange of views.
at is a matter of sincere gratifica-
ton to the government Of the United
States that the de facto government
of Mexico has evinced so cordial and
friendly a spirit Of cooperation in the
efforts of the authorities of the United
States to apprehend and punish the
bands Of outlaws who seek refuge be- |
yond the international boundary in the |
erroneous belief that the constituted !
will resent any pursuit |
across the boundary by the forces of
he government whose citizens have
suffered by the crimes of the fugi-
ives. ="

was indicated that movements would
be made from several points on the
border at the same time.
Former Secretary Garrison came to
Washington and called at the war de
partment for a conference with his
successor, Secretary Baker. Mr.. Gar.
rison offered his services to the ad.
ministration in the emergency, and is
expected to remain to assist Mr.
Baker for the present, at least.
No orders have been issued to the
navy, but it was considered probable
that some of the Atlantic fleet might
be placed in Mexican waters to he
near if Americans in coast towns
were endangered by anti-American
demonstrations.
The government is reluctant to
make any naval demonstration that
might be construed as against Gen.
Carranza.
Some officials suggest Offering a re-
ward for Villas capture, but it was
decided at once that the United States
had better send troops to catch him.
Representative Miller (Republican)
of Wisconsin told the House he ques.
toned whether the Villa raiders could
simply be regarded as marauders and
whether the attack on Columbus did
not assume proportions of almost a
national incursion.

Reports from Mexican sources saw
that Villa apparently is carrying out

his forces into small bands and hiding
among the mountains. Some of his
forces are reported approaching the
