cantonment -oad BUILDING.

A record breaking piece of road
building recently was completed in
connection with the army cantonment
at Louisville, says an exchange, which
continues:
"This is one of the few military es-
adjustments that have built perma-
nent roads. In 63 working days the
contractor completed 63,360 square
yards of Trinidad asphaltic concrete
highway laid on a concrete base, or
about six miles of road IS feet wide.
A mile of the road was over a four
foot fill, and Immediately upon its
completion a traffic count showed that
1900 vehicles passed over it withiE
the first hour. Most of these vehicles
were motor trucks and wagons carry
ing loads of from one to five tons. The
record is all the more remarkable
In view of the fact that it was neces-
sary TO haul and crush all the stone
used on the work"

headed by former Prime Minister Her
bert H. Asquith, apparently switched
its plans since last weeks opening fire

Asquith summed up against his success
sor, he conferred his fire not so much
on the proposed supreme inter-allied
war council, which it was feared would
change the British army system, as on
Lloyd-GeOrge's "brutally frank" Paris
speech.
Responding. Mr. Lloyd-George de-
clared his Paris speech was mot an
impulsive one"
1T was carefully considered and
submitted to the cabinet" he added.

der to arouse public sentiment, not

About Envelopes.

II is said that envelopes were in.
vented during the early days Of Louis
XIV of France. In 1860 NJ. De Val
Iyer established a private post and
placed boxes at the corner Of the
streets for letters inclosed in enyel
opes that were sold in Offices estab-
lished for that purpose. 1t seems
likely. however. that envelopes were in
use before this period because envel-
opes so used in France were special
postpaid envelopes. But precisely
what year is marked by the first inyen-
don of env eIopes is unknown.
