Volunteer Host to Work
on William Penn Highway

In fourteen counties of Pennsylva-
mia, from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh,
volunteer road crews are expected to
enlist to-morrow-Good Roads, Day
for work on the William Penn high
way.
Throughout the length of Pennsyl-
vanias newest trans-State thorough
fare motorists and other good roads
enthusiasts will devote their efforts to
smoothing, leveling and otherwise pre-
pairing the road surface for tremen-
dous volume of motor traffic which is
expected to flow from the two termin-
ais as the summer season progresses.
When the workers have finished, they
hope to be able to say the William
Penn highway offers the best surface
as well as the best grades of any
trans State road in Pennsylvania.
An advertising campaign to draw
motorists over the William Penn high
way is contemplated. Details were to
have been worked out at dinner of
highway governors set for early May
and postponed because of the death of

Know They Can't Crush
Germany Says Won Hollweg
Special to the Telegraph

New York, May 24.-Karl H. Won
Wiegand, in a copyrighted cablegram
from Berlin published in the World,
says:
After % months of terrible war;
after sacrifices of millions of men,
after forcing a heavy debt in blood
and treasure that places a mortgage
upon the brow and shoulders of the
present and future generations, it is
beginning to dawn upon England that
the German people are not to be
crushed, that the German nation can
not be destroyed.
Having learned also the terrible
cost to Europe and the world, Sir Ed
ward Grey now declares that British
statesmen never did want to crush and
destroy Germany Notwithstanding the
utterances of his Confeeres in the Brit
ish Cabinet and the English press to
the contrary and in the face of the in
ducement held out to the French peo-
pie by President Poincare in his
speech of few days ago that if they
only will endure TO the end England
and France will dictate peace to Ger
many"
Thus expressed himself Doctor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, imperial chanceI-
lor of Germany, when he received me
by request made for the purpose of
asking the chancellor if he would
make any comments upon the utter
ances of the British foreign secretary
in a recent interview.
lone thing | do know" continued
the Chancellor very impressively,
"only when statesmen OF the warning
nations come down to a basis of real
facts; when they take the war situa-
ton as every map shows it to be;
when, with honest and sincere will,
they are prepared to terminate this
terrible bloodshed and are ready to
discuss the war and peace problems
with one another in a practical man
ner only then will we be nearing
peace.
Whoever is not prepared to do that
has the responsibility for It If Europe
continues to bleed and tear itself to
pieces. 1 cast that responsibility far
from myself"
