FINE ROADS BEING
BUILT BY TROOPS

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June 30.-Hundreds of miles
of the sfsoothswhite macadam roads OF
Northern France will remain for many
years after the war as real memorial
to the devastated towns which the Ger
mans left in ruins after their retreat
this spring.
All over Northern France the roads
are being widened and resurfaced
with stones and rubble taken from the
wrecked houses of Peronne. Albert,
Arras, and countless other . ruined
towns and villages. AS fast as the
British soldiers clear away the debris
: of the town, it is pulled into lorries
and distributed in heaps along the
main roads There German prisoners
toll the day long pounding it into level
patches which thQe great steam rollers
many of them bearing familiar Amer
lean names, grind quickly into smooth
macadam for the business of trans
port.
The brick and stone of these old
buildings makes as good road mater
ial as could be obtained anywhere, and
the work of the German dynamiter has
been so thorough that much OF it is
crushed fine enough to need no furth-
err preparation.
The roads of Northern France were
always excellent, but they were never
better than today. The only complaint
travellers had against them in the old
days was that the paved strip in the
center was too narrow. That COM
plant cannot be made after the Brit
ish highway plans have been COM
pleted; for all the main highways will
be macadamed to a width permitting
three lsoad-guage lorries to run
abreast and even the byways will have
a paved surface wide enough to allow
traffic to pass easily at any point.
Excessive business is the only fault
of the roads today, for war economics
will not permit the use of precious oil
on roadways.
There is little need anywhere in this
district for Strengthening roads of alt
ering routes, because the roads OF
Northern France mostly run straight
as an arrows fight. Most of the great
highways were laid out in Napoleon's
time by military surveyors, and their
strategic value and Importance has al
ways been kept primarily in mind by
the French government,

JAPAN ANXIOUS TO
RETAIN ALLIANCE

TOXIC. June 30.-'The Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance is the viii of Heaven as
we'll as the word Of man" was the cpl
gramatic phrase in message which
Premier Count Terauchi recently is
sued on the subject of the relations
between Japan and Great Britain.
With Viccount Ichiro Montono, Japan's
Foreign Minister, and others, Count
Terauchi sent communication to The
New East" monthly review publish
eG by British residents at Toxic.
The official Japanese contributors
emphasize their desire to make the
Anglo-Japanese alliance permanent
agreement. Count Terauchi said that
the alliance was the natural outcome
o. the sincere desire of the high con-
tracing parties to guarantee perman-
emily the peace of the East. Its in
disputable benefits in the past are al
ready clear" he wrote And he added:
1T is destined to play even greater
part in the future. The interests OF
Gerat Britain and Japan have never
conflicted and never will conflict"
Viscount Montouo revealed several
aspects of the history of the alliance.
I'VE must admit he said, that had
il not been for our British alliance we
should have encountered the greatest
difficulties in the prosecution of our
war with Russia. During that war
Great Britain did us inestimable ser
vice, still little known to the general
public. Great Britain probably would
not have been able to make the agree
ment she signed with Russia had it not
been for her Japanese alliance. | can
not say whether the authors of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance had in mind
the possibility of general con1agras
ton between the great European pow
er when they signed the treaty. But
the IdCI ISljldiiIS mat az tAAS ~ O'OA-N
moment the alliance is playing most
important part in the great war.
The Minister was firm in the opinion
that the alliance would last long after
the war From Japans point of view
the maintenance of the balance OF
power in the Far East was absolutely
necessary. Japan and Gerat Britain,
he wrote, had immense common inter
ests in Asia that must be protected.
Whatever contingencies the future
might have in store, the close unity OF
Japan and Great Britain was, in the
minister's opinion, an indispensable
condition for the maintenance of order
and peace in the Far East; as much
as for the effective protection of ia
pans rights and interests. He con-
Guided:
AS long as Japan and Great Britain
are united by a true and loyal alliance
we need have no fears for the future.

Police Clash With Strikers

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. S.-A fresh
outbreak of the violent labor troubles
which have smouldered with more or
less serious eruptions at times since

to avoid acts which might lead to col
lisions, but the worklngmen have be-
come more threatening in their atti-
tude and there have been threats TO
burn the ripened crops. Important

sanguinary clashes between the police
and the strikers. The packers are re.

recognized as anarchists from the
strike committees.
