ROAD PLANS TAKE SHAPE

w. l.. Greenawalt, chairman of the
chamber of commerce committee to
find ways and means of sanding the
Clinton road from the end of the
present sand road to the macadam
highway at Busby warehouse, re-
ported Tuesday that County Com
missioner NJ w. Whitlow has re-
newed his promise of county assist
ance in removing the necessary sand
from the creek bed and loading it on
wagons, provided that other means
would be found for placing the sand
on the road. Mr. Greenawalt sug-
gested that the assistance of farmers
of the Clinton neighborhood be en-
listed and that they be paid approXi-
mately one-half wages for themselves
and teams for placing the sand. 1t
is probable that arrangements for
the Improvement will be completed
this week.

BELGIUM SHOULD BE BETTER PROTECTED Peace Demands That It Be More Firmly Made a
 Buffer State

Tokio, March -(Correspondence of the Associated Press)--In an intro- duction which he contributed to a book entitled s"Belgium and the European War" which has just been published by Count Della Faille de Leverghem, the Belgian minister to Japan, Premier Count Okuma declares his judgment that the peace of Europe and the whole world demands that Belgium be made in the future more firmly than ever a buffer state. The work of Count Della Faille is a review of the situation in Belgium since the entrance of German troops at the outbreak of the war The author discusses in detail the evidence concerning the question of the viola tion of Belgian neutrality and alleged German acts of cruelty and reaches the conclusion that the proof of German cruelty is as overwhelming as is cer- tain the violation of Belgian neutrality.
 ''The existence of Belgium as buff fer state is indispensable to the peace of the world,' wrote Count Olluma in his preface to the volume. The occupa- tion of this buffer state today by the Germans, he declared. was not only in opposition to the stipulations of the treaty of 1889, but it is inadmissible
 
 trary to the principles for the preser- vation of the peace of Europe. To make Belgium what she was before, namely, to make her a buffer state on a more solid basis, is very necessary not only for the peace of Europe, but also for the peace of the whole world.
 He added Besides, it is work of justice We cannot help admiring Bell gium where, from the King down to the simplest citizen, all, in this terrible struggle, are fighting with such des- peration for the future of the state and for justice and that at the risk of their lives and with no thought of themselves. We have no doubt what ever that the final victory will be on the side of justice and that the loyalty will be crowned with success"
 In conclusion of his volume Count Della Faille makes reference to Japan and the far east. He declares Germany victorious would mean the l whole of Europe submissive to it's rule. the acquisition of a large colonial pos session at the expense of vanquished England and France. Nothing would resist the German will America would speak in vain of the Monroe doctrine | and Japan would speak in vain of her special rights in China. What would Japan do before Germany solidly re- l installed at Tsing-tao, perhaps at i Hongkong instead of the English and at Indio-China instead of the French, To uphold her specials rights and keep Port Arthur and Korea, Japan would find herself confronted with much bloodier war than that of Manchuria She would have the choice of coming 1 to an arrangement with Germany or rushing into the most terrible of dis asters"
