Settle War First, Says Boer
Leader, Then Judge En-
peror's Case
Speech Is Criticised
One London Paper Looks to
Wilson for Counter
Blast"
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Oct. 26.-General SHUTS,
addressing an audience of 5000 at
Sheffield Wednesday evening. declared
that there was no necessity of carry
ing the war on until the Kaiser was
doomed; that peace should come frsV
and then settlement of the German
Emperor's case. In some quarters TINS
statement of General Smuts is critl-
cised as harmful to the Allied cause.
The passage in the generals speech
referring to this feature of the war
aims is as follows:
az don't think it is worth while to
prosecute this war until we get rid oil
the Kaiser and all other evils. Re-
member. we are not the only judges oil
mankind. God and history Will pass
Judgment on the Kaiser and other IN
struments of tyranny. Give us good
peace and you need not solve now all
the problems of ethics that confront
the universe.
.Tlnfortunate Observation
The following quotation from the
Globe" represents the opinion in some
circles of General Smuts's declara-
tions:
General Smuts," says the news
nener. ais so attractive n personality
and such popular character, anu
moreover he talked so senslbly at SheI-
field on the subject of secret diplomacy
in regard to Belgium, that we sincereiy
regret he should nave thrown 'he
Fgis over the Kaiser in a passage
which will do the Allied cause cohslu-
cradle harm everywhere.
"We shall not have solved one OF the
nroblems of ethics the general SPEAKS
about if the Hohenzollerns are pre-
served against the wishes of the
democracies of the world by wnhI
v"onId undoubtedly be one of the great
est triumphs ever achieved by secret
dinlomacv. Nor could such a peace ,
called a good peace by any stretch OF
the imagination, as it would inevltaDiy
involve another war at no distant da!'

Civilization would succumb TO hultur;
"And even in the event OF panied
or beaten Kaiser remaining at the head

unwisdom OF the present organization
is generally conceded.
Cooperation Lacking
That organization might have been

operation. but cooperation has been
lacking and the situation has drifteo
so far in the illness OF the chairman
that nothing but fresh start Is likeiy
TO bring out efficiency. =,
When Secretary Baker succeeded IN
having tho War Industries Board
placed under the control Of the Coun-
Gil Of National Defence, OF which ne
was chairman, he also succeeded IN
having his own candidate, Mr.. Scott:
who had previously been chairman OF
the General Munitions Board, made its
chairman. Mr.. Scott came from the
War Secretary's home town, Cleveland,
and was his warm friend. The result
was a great victory for Mr. Baker.
The trouble was that, having got the
situation into his own hands, the War
Secretary failed to make it work as
we'll as it should have worked. His
own departments bureaus were among
the organizations that ignored tbs new
board. Mr.. Baker is expected to name
the successor to Mr.. Scott. Who that
will be has not yet been disclosed.

verts are being constructed before ex-
pensive road surfacing is done, says
Indiana Farmer.
This work is often paid for out of
the annual tax levy for road and
bridge construction and absorbs such
a large part of the funds that too little
money is left for grading the surface
ing. Good bridges and culverts are
permanent structures. and the deputy
minister of highways of Ontario, Hon.
w. A. Mclean, has advised the taXpay-
ers of that province to pay for them
by a bond issue where the total ex-
penditure for the purpose is large. In
such a case he suggests compiling a
complete list of the bridges and cul-
verts needed. preparing plans and es-
Inmates for their construction, and
then financing the work so that it's
cost will be equitably distributed over
a period of years rather than be con-
centrated on the taxpayers of few
years. Where there are few of these
structures and none is expensive, the
policy of paying for them out of the
annual tax levy cannot be criticized,
in his opinion, for it does not interfere
appreclably with satisfactory progress
in grading, drainage, surfacing and
maintenance.

SAVE COST OF MAINTENANCE
Highways Which Cost Most at First
Are Always Cheapest to Keep
In Good Condition.

(By r. w GAY Mississippi Experiment
Station)
With the recently awakened interest
in the cause of good roads the ques-
ton of financing road building is of
first Importance. How road building
can be paid for is not the only serious
question, however, but which one of
several possible methods of construc-
ton will best suit the needs of the
community and give the people the
best roads at as small cost as possible
within the limit of the available funds.
The first cost may be only small
part of the total. Roads must be
maintained in good condseon, and the
cheapest road is the one that costs
least per year to build and keep in
shape for travel. In New York state
it was found cheaper to expend 500, 600
Il mile in the construction of brick
highways than to pay from $500 to
$4,000 mile for macadam because
of the difference in cost of upkeep.
To save maintenance expense the
idea of present economy must not be
allowed to overshadow the Importance
Of building permanent highways. AS
a rule the roads which cost the most
at first will be the cheapest to main
! tain.
