Pathfinders Continue Journey

The pathfinding car of the Mary
land boys Corn and Potato Clubs, after
leaving Elkton last Saturday mora
ing, proceeded to Rising Sun. The
citizens of that section urged the
change of the route fro mthe lower
section by way of Perryville and
Havre de Grace to the upper section
by way of Rising Sun and Conowingo.
on the ground that the route by Havre
de Grace would involve a toll bridge
and barren country from Perryville
to Elkton. whereas Conowingo and
Rising Sun would take the boys
through rich farming country, either
by way of North East or Fair Hill to
Elkton.
Henry f. Warner. director of the
totur, and Reuben Brigham, in charge
of the Corn Club work, heard the ar
guments and after a conference with
County Agent Marsh announced that
the route would be changed The Ris-
ing Sun citizens then elected the fol-
lowing committees:
William NJ. Pogue, chair
man; John NJ. Sterrett, vice-chairman;
Mark Founders, secretary.
Entertainment-Ev Ewing, chair
man.
Transportation. Wayne Reynolds,
chairman.
Mothers'-Mrs. Harry Shepherd,
chairman; Mrs. William NJ. Pogue
and Mrs. |. Wayne Reynolds.

on hand of $1530.76 and total dis
bursement SS679.37. The chief items

Singerly Fire Co.; $720 to Town Bal
lift; $792.14 to labor; $253.0S for stone

else is sadly needed on EIkton's

holes.

TAFT SAYS us. MUST

Present Crisis Shows Need of
Preparedness, Ex-President

DETROIT, Mich, April 20.-Ex-Presi-
dent Taft, addressing Yale alumni at the
University Club last night, said:
mo one can speak with confidence on
the crisis that at this moment confronts
u.s. ] think l am right in saying that
we all hope that war or n breach of
diplomatic relations may be averted. But
we cannot afford to give up oun sub
stantial rights as neutrals. We must in
sist on our rights.

It will not.
"But Wherever IL leads, II has brought
us TO a realization of our proximity to-
the world war.
I'VE have no right to count on our inn
munity from war and from unjust military
aggression and we owe II to our ances-
tors who gave us our nation and our ma
tional principles, to take steps at once for
proper military preparedness"
Referring to Mexico as Our interna-
tional nuisance" Mr.. Taft said that while
il had been thorn in the side of this
country, Mexico has done this country
one good turn in teaching us a lesson on
our unpreparedness."
what we need is to be reasonably pre-
pared. We should be prepared to resist
the military aggression of any nation that
is prepared to land 900 or 100000 men
on our coasts, and there are such nations.
"Our navy should be as big as the navy
of such nation, which would be required
to convey such an army. Germany could
land such an army here in a month or six
weeks. our army is about 35 per cent.
below Germany's naval strength.

FORD WINS NEBRASKA
IN PRIMARY OF G. 0. P.
Motorcar Maker Surprises
Cummins and Hughes Men
by Conceded Victory

OMAHA, April 2O.-Henry Ford. Of
Detroit without an effort and without
an organization, captured the Nebraska
delegation to the Republican National
Convention in Tuesdays primaries over
Senator Cummins, Justice Charles Il.
Hughes and Henry d. Estabrook, of New
York. Ford's victory is the surprise Of
the primaries. The total vote has not
been counted but the Cummns and Hughes
headquarters both concede the victory of
the Detroit man.
Hughes, whose name did not appear
on the ballot, but was written in by the
voters, is in second place. on the Demo-
cratic side Wilson had no opposition.
To match the surprise of the Ford vic
tory is the probable defeat of william ].
Bryan for delegate-at-large to the St
Louis convention; Of his brother, C. W.
Bryan, for the nomination ror Governor,
and of the entire Bryan ticket.
The returns so far received show that

But the farmland didn't have time to

him to the police station.

LONDON, April 20.-Speculation is use

linked with distant expeditions, shortage
in labor, the financing of allies and po-
iitieal pledges.
Small but determined groups in Par

The Post publishes an interesting letter

Recovery of French exchange is as
cribed to the arrangement with London

Discussion with Italy about high
freights has elected Ministerial state

Small people here are beginning to save
instead of spending their war wages in

other luxuries. This change is shown by
postoffce investments in war loans, which
are now at the rate Of sixty millions
sterling.

Silver has now risen over 30 pence an
ounce, mainly owing to the enormous out
put of new silver coinage and the prac-
tical demonstration of gold by Continental
belligerents. Possibly years may elapse
before some European Powers will be able
to restore gold standards, and hence silver
may be remonetized by the war and may
appreciate in value against gold.
