 All friends and strangers in our city will receive hearty welcome to our services. We try to merit the name which some of our friends have given us, the friendly church." Come and enjoy the season of worship with us.

Mud Tax Must BE Abolished

OF all subjects to come before the General
~ Assembly this winter, there will be moth
ing so important as that Of good roads,
Good roads legislation in Virginia dates from
the modest beginning made by the Lassiter-
Withers act of 1905, and the supplemental
act OF 1910, which put convicts on the high
ways. A start has been made, but only a
start. Some roads have been built and have
not been kept up. Money has been provided
for others-as the Washington Highway
and they are still not passable on rainy day.
One of the handicaps is the hodgepodge
OF laws under which roads are constructed
the State convict road act, the State money
aid act and it's amendments, tho general road
laws and the special road laws for nearly
every one Of the 100 counties in Virginia.
The report Of Senator Goolrick's commission
will bring the matter squarely to an issue.
A great system of through roads has been
mapped out for adoption as State highways
How arc they to be built? What engineer
Is to determine the type Of construction
needed III the various sections of the State?
How are they to be maintained? Are we
to have further examples of paying interest
on bonds for roads which hav, already been
washed away?
The Legislative Reference Bureau can do
constructive piece OF work under Director
STachen II it will give us compilation from
Its files OF tho road laws of other States, and
how their highway departments are directed
and by whom, together with some data as
to the overhead expense and cost of super
vision So long as the fec system lasts. 1t
seems hopeless to get Jail prisoners for road
work-the sheriffs need the per diem for
their keep. But healthier life has been
given some hundreds of convicts by trans
ferring them from prison shoe shop to open
air life, where they may render some COM
pensation to the Commonwealth in expiation
OF the crime they have committed.
Virginia cannot longer lag behind sur
rounding States. The mud tax must be
abolished. Not only must the roads be open
to the tourist, but what is more important,
highways must be provided on which the
farmer can haul his produce to market and
over which his family can travel to church,
to school and to the social life which will
again make country living in Virginia famous

perience Of watching the effect Of real

The marines arc having some espe-
cially lively engagements this week
with their French Instructors. French
Chasseurs, acting as tho enemy, have
been making attacks upon the marines
trench system with Dewey, Farraeut
Porter and Sampson trenches as tho
battle detectives. The French also
have been attempting to block and hold

Will be seen that the marines trench

MARINES MAKING
STOUT RESISTANCE
Tho marines have been making stout
resistance. and wherever the enemy
penetrated their lines they organized a
countcrattack which quickly elected tho
intrudcrs. The real object OF these pro-
liminary attacks is to get tho officers
and men acquainted with what is
known at tho front Is operation orders
1t Is tho first step toward learning tho
rudiments OF a highly organized part
OF modern warfare. where every step
and every detail Is worked out In ad-
vance on prearranged plan and must
BIO atrictly adhered TO.
Ono great difference from real war
faro. however. is the fact that in bat
ties with the marines the enemy has
accommodatingly allowed copy of
his operation orders TO fall into tho
hands OF the defending garrison. This
will be changed later. and the American
trench garrison will be called upon to
resist surprise attacks In force.
Another valuable feature in sham
battle exercises is In teaching Ameri-
cans the great Importance OF what IS
known as liason work. tho ma intainence
