No Rest for Germany.

There is no rest for Germany any
where? She cannot shift her troops
from front to front, as she did in the
early days of the war, smashing one
enemy here and then whisking her
troops over to smash another enemy
there.
Mistakes? The allies no doubt
have made mistakes, but England has
made no such mistakes as have been
made by Germany, all of whose plans
have gone awry. England was ex-
pected to. and promised to. furnish
100000 men for the protection of Bel
gium in case of a European war
and that was all. She has. in fact.
provided an army and navy personnel
of nearly 100000 men and has
trebled the personnel of her fleet.
Could any other nation in the world
furnish more than 100000 men on a
voluntary basis, as Great Britain has
done9

Strong opposition to the Shackelford
good roads bill is expected to develop
in the senate, where the measure is

signed to assist various states in the
construction of good roads within their
respective borders. 1t is in a way a
military measure, as the roads are to
be constructed in such manner as 10
be available for military uses.
An appropriation of $225,OOO is car
ried by the bill, which passed the
lower house late yesterday The vote
on the measure there was PSI to 81.
The debate was also practically unan-
imously favorable to the measure. The
appropriation carried is to be supple
Imented by similar appropriations to be
made by state legislatures, and the
federal funds are made available only
after state appropriations are made.
Federal engineers would supervise ex.
penditures under the terms of the
Shackelford hill, in cooperation with
state authorities.

are to be discontinued. Delays here
