EASTERN SHORE SHELL ROADS

Counties Willing to Maintain Them if
Law Will Permit Them to Do So
The Eastern Shore of Maryland is
still welded to shell roads. because,
as it was explained before the Mary
land State Roads Commission in Balti-
more, Thursday, there is no stone
available, and it is a case of using
shells or constructing roads, under the
State aid plan, at such excessive cost
that the taxpayers are unable and un-
willing to foot the bill. Stone or
cement roads cost from $4,000 to
SIS, 900 per mile, a cost that is al
most prohibltive. Shell roads can be
built at a cost as low as So, 900 per
mile in some sections. Eastern Shore
would rather have shell roads than
the roads that are impossible during
the winter season. All of these and
other facts were set forth to the COM
mission by a delegation composed of
the commissioners of the several East
ern Shore counties The delegation
demurred at the stand taken by the
commission that, as it will be limited
to about $24O per mile for mainten-
ance this year, it will not have funds
available to keep the shell roads al
ready built in repair. The commission
has laid a condition on acceptance of
old shell roads that they be topped
with two inches of stone.

The last Legislature provided for
the establishment Of an Animal
Health Laboratory at State College.
This laboratory is now being organic
ed and prepared to- begin work at an
early date. The purpose in the es-
tablishment Of this laboratory is to
assist the stockmen Of this state by
every possible means to prevent and
control animal diseases. It is not
intended to supplant the loca | veter-
marian or the Live Stock Sanitary
Board, but to assist and cooperate
with these forces which are already
organized and doing splendid work.
All suggestions that will enable us
to give better service and bring about
a closer cooperation will be welcom-
ed. Such cooperation will add very
materially tosour States and Nations
resources in this hour Of need.

Review Of Reviews: The trouble

rope do not really want or believe in.
disarmament, arbitration freedom Of
the seas and the wise devolution of
menacing empires. The interests Of
the plain people who live in these
European countries are not served by
their ruling classes. Statesmanship
in Europe thinks and acts in certain
grooves. The military and political
castles have their professional games
to play and these are deadly to the
common people. These games tax
the people oppressively for foolish
schemes Of empire that demand great
armies and navies and slaughter their
sons. After all, the world can not
be made ..safe for democrcy" until
democracy comes into its own in the
leading nations. Russia and, the Unit
ed States are ready for disarmament,
league Of nations, arbitration. free
dom Of the ocean, respect for the
rights Of all peoples and races. But
it is to be feared that no other great
nations. on either side Of the war
except China ARE ready to stand on
the platform Of President Wilson and
Pope Benedict in so far az the real
aims Of their ruling classes are con-
cerned. They are all thinking in
terms Of national rivalry, and schem-
ing to sec how many Of their own
chestnuts can be pulled out Of the fire
in the war settlement. Germany is
tired of the war, but her rulers are
mors intent than ever upon securing
Germany ) great future through the
organization Of power and the deyo-
tion Of science to national ends. Eng
land is planning imperial consolida-
tion on q scale which, Il successful,
might compel all the rest Of the
world to unite in . rival organiza-
