AN UNANSWERABLE ATTACK
The Hughes Indictment Of The
Wilson Administration.


In this remarkable speech occurs
one most significant passage. 1t sums
up not merely the foreign policy Of the
present Administration, but its attitude
to all qrezJions, even Of domestic
character.
The chief function Of diplomacy is
prevention, but in this our diplomacy
failed, doubtless because Of its i'm
paired credit and the manifest lack of
disposition to back words with action.
tad this Government by the use of
both informal and formal diplomatic
opportunities left no doubt that when
We said strict accountability" we
meant precisely what we said, and
that we should unhesitatingly indicate
that position, | am confident that there
would have been no destruction of
American lives by the sinking of the
Lusitania.
That phrase strict accountable"
was used three months before the
sinking of the Lusitania. One of the
greatest American statesman now
living, perhaps the greatest, said that
the State Department, then in the
hands Of Mr. Bryan, had used the
last word first" The phrase strict
accountability" is a last resort of di-
plomacy. These are fighting words.
They do not mean that we resort
merely to the bombardment of the
German or British Foreign Offices with
notes. They mean, and should have
meant in this case that the German
Ambassador would have been returned
without ceremony to his own country
at p hours notice, and that the United
States Government would take i'm
mediate and efficient means TO protect
its citizens.

ROADS
PRAISE FOR AMERICAN ROADS
Compare Very Favorably With High
ways of Many European Countries
Much Work in Progress.

"We Americans are prone to over
estimate and sometimes to boast CT
that which we have" says ]. NJ.
Linscott, New England agent for a
large motor car company. AT least
that is the accusation made by our Eu-
Il it is just. l wonder if we do not
more often underestimate our posses
sions and our achievements. We really
are wonderful country, you know,
and with full allowance for our short
comings, wonderful people, too. So
l rather think we are justified in some
of our boastfulness. 1t is an attri-
butte of youth, and evidence of good
healthy youthful enthusiasm.
"Apropos of what?" you ask.
well, of roads, for example.
eve are accustomed to saying that
we have the worst roads in the world,
and to hold up as an example of model
roads the centuries-old highways OF
Europe.
81 have found in talking with Ameri-
cans who have toured abroad that
most of them will give as examples
of model highways few main trav-
eled roads. But ask them about the
general roads of any country and they
will either tell you they do not know,
or if perchance one has happened to
lose his way and got on to one Of
the byways, he will admit that they
are about as bad as has ever been
seen in Michigan or Nebraska.
Your travelled American will ex.
patiate at great length on the wonder
full roads of France. And they are
wonderful. That is to say, some of
them are. At that the total mileage
of really good roads in that country
is much less than most people mag
inc. We journeyed over cobblestone
roads that would shake your teeth
loose-and that in romantic Nor
mandy, too.
THE roads in the British isles are
excellent, but after all New England
has more, and they are just as good,
despite the climatic conditions that
favor the former. The Rhine route in
Germany is all that has been claimed
for it, but we have our roads up the
Hudson to match it-and who shall!
say whether the scenery on the Rhine
or the Hudson is more beautiful, since
both are magnificent beyond descrip-
ton?
THE Texas road is made of crushed
sea shells, which make perfect sur
face, while the Italian road is COM

great quarries of Carrara. Anyone
who has travelled over this well knows
he will not return that way because
it's beauty is deceptive. The gritty par.
ticles of marble will cut the tread on
q set of tires in one trip.
Il wonder how many people realize
the influence of climate on roads? /
wonder how many of those who rave
over the fact that the Appian Way is
still in tolerable condition after more
than two thousand years, have stopped
to consider how long that same high
way would last in Michigan, for ex:
ample? The alternate freezing and
thawing and heaving would disinte-
crate and cause it to wear away just
as fast as they do our own macadam
and cement construction.
How many of those appreciate how
much road-building is going on not
only in their own immediate neighbor.
hood but throughout this country.
How many know that Michigan will
build 800 miles of wonderfully good
roads; that Indiana will build fully
900 miles of roads, and she already has
1000 miles Of excellent highways,
which she is keeping in the pink Of
condition. Ohio will build fully 140
miles of roads. Some of the eastern
Atlantic states-Massachus Maine,
New York, Pennsylvania-have thou
sands of miles of roads that are as
fine as anything that lies under the
sun. And these states are building
more all the time.''

HUMAN
SPRAYS SAYS
DOCTOR dixon
Says Chaps Who Wheeze and
Sneeze il All Directions
Are Dangerous.

IIARRI SBURG, Pa, Dec. 20.-Be-
ware OF tho human spray, OF the chap
who wheezes germs and microbes in
all directions, warns DIR. Saml G. Dix
on, state health commissioner, in his
weekly Little Talks on Health and
Hygiene.''
Or. Dixon points out that the
sneezer who is rude enough to fail
to muzzle himself offends not only
against good manners, but against
health. He says:
let the innocent bystander be-
ware Of the careless or. ignorant in
divldual who takes no precaution to
cover the nose and mouthto catch the
spray when sneezing. Such careless
ness should be resented as you would
resent tho dangerous habit Of spit
ting.
When you sneeze q spray OF the
secretions from the mucous mem
brane OF the respirator tract and the
throat is thrown into the air for quite
a distance around you. This spray
often carries germs Of disease. From
some forms Of leprosy and tubercu-
losis, thousands Of germs that will
produce these diseases are breathed
in BY those who are standing within
the zone Of the spray. Fl
Many Of the intluenzas or social
ed colds are communicated from one
person to another in the same way.
Some healthy people have disease
producing organisms that are
sneezed out and II taken into the re-
spIratory tract OF others who
have less resistance. they will gall
victims to whatever form OF disease
that germ produces.
