HIGHWAY BETWEEN COKE
WILLIE AND BLAIRSVILLE
TO BE PAVED WITH
BRICK

Good roaos in Indiana have
received an additional boost by
favorable action which was TAX
en- Saturday. At that time it was
decided to pave the highway
from Blairsville to Cokeville,
brick being used as the covering
The state highway department
will stand one-half of the eX-
pense and the other half of the
money outlay will be divided be-
tween the borough of Blairsville
and Indiana county. Work win
be started at once and will be
rushed to completion. The paw
ing of the road will add but an
other link to the good road pro-
ject in this section.
From Blairsville TO Reed.
The next important step in
this direction will be the maca-
damizing of the highway be-
tween Blairsville and Reed sta
ton. Work on this stretch will
also be started as soon as the
spring weather conditions per-
nit and it is also being planned
to have it finished just as quick
ly as possible. With it's compile
ton motorists to and from Pitts
burgh will have the pleasure of
making the entire trip over a
highway of either macadam or
brick construction. No more
clay roads will be encountered,
although such roads in Indiana
county have so far been quite
successful,
To Abolish Grade Crossings.
The building of these two
roads and the expected action of
the state highway department
and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co. in abolshing the grade
crossings at Graceton and Reed
station will put Indiana county
on the map as a county that is
constantly looking forward to
progressive steps that lend
themselves to the careful and
Iaudatory attention Of all trav-
elers.

Germany'S Course
fastening Clash
Sinking Of American Tanker Speeds Up
War Preparations

WASHINGTON, March 23.-
Germany's latest affront in the
torpedoing without warning of
the American tanker HealdtOn
will be followed by continued
speeding up of all preparations
for actual hostilities, which are
now regarded as inevitable.
President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing are convinced that
Germany's present course is
merely Fastening a clash. The
President and his secretary are
known from the highest and
most authoritative sources to
have held the firm conviction
even before the sinking of the
Healdton-that the kaiser's gov
ernment is determined on fore
ing a declaration Of war from
this country.

BRITAIN is SPENDING $780,
100000 A DAY.

LONDON, March 19.-Reply-
ing to a question in the House
of Commons today, Andrew BO-
mar Law, chancellor of the ex-
chequer of the British govern
ment, said that the daily eXpen-
diture of the government from
April 1, 1916 to March 81, 1917,
would work out at 96,000,0O0.
Mr.. Bonar Law said the nom
inal total national debt was esti-
mated at 93,9OO,OOO,OOO. The
total estimated amount due
from Great Britain's allies and
the dominions was &964,OOO,OOO.
The chancellor said the aver
age daily payments between
February II and March 81
would amount to 47,260,000. In
that period especially heavy pay
ments we're falling due which
had increased the expenditure
by a daily average of more than
81, 100000 and the daily expen-
diture for the year would work
out at 96,OOO,OOO.

Cabinet Meeting Held.

President Wilson met with the
cabinet today to consider devel-
opments in the international sit
uation, and to discuss the prog
ress made by all departments in
preparing for hostilities. There
is indication today that the
President after Congress has de-
fined the status between Ger
many and the United States, will
augment his cabinet by one or
more posts to cover the work of
transportation and possibly a
portfolio to handle the work of
munitions making.
This, however, is entirely ten
tative. The more likely course
for the present, at least, is be-
lieved to be the continuance of
the National defense council as
a special advisory body in pre-
pairing for war.

down from the walls of a class
room a picture of Emperor Will
