Road Work Begins.
Thurmont Now Assured Vi
Good Street ThrO Town.

The long desired good road through
Thurmont is now assured. Some time
ago the State Roads Commission asked
for bids for building this piece OF ROAD
and recently it was learned that Mr.. L.
R. Waesche of this place had been given
the contract.
The first work on the street was done
Tuesday afternoon at which time line
stakes for curb and gutter were driven.
AS we understand, this work will be
pushed along as fast as possible. the con-
tract calling for the street to be COM
pleted this fall.
This work will put State street in bad
condition for some time for autoists, but
by using other streets and alleys way
around will be found that will inconven-
ience travel very little.
This street now belongs to the State
and the chances are that the State peo-
ple have plans for all the work they IN
tend to do. If it does not suit every CIT
izen, the work will be done all the same'
and in the end much better and more
beautiful thoroughfare will be yours to
look upon.

American Efficiency.

German efficiency has been held
up as a degree Of excellence unattain-
able by Democracy. The accom-
plishments of the United States since
April 9th last refute the truth OF the
claim. In the short space OF time
since that day the United States has
accomplished the following:
Declared state of war as existing
between this country and Germany;
Seized 81 German ships and begun
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously a war
fund of 81, 900, 100000;
Appropriated $600,O0O,O00 for
merchant shipping and as much for
air fleets;
Agreed to loan our Allies $3,OOO,-
600, 900 and advanced them a large
proportion Of that sum;
Passed a selective draft law and in
a single day registered nearly ten
million men for military service;
Enlisted 900, 600 volunteer soldiers
in the Regular Army and the National
Guard of the States;
Sent a Commission to Russia to
aid Democracy there and a body OF
railroad men to Russia and another
to France to advise and assist in rail-
road transportation In those countries;
Begun the construction OF 80 camps
for our soldiers;
Sent to England feet OF destroy
ers and to France a detachment OF
troops;
Authorized and now enforcing en-
barge whereby our enemies will re-
ccive no more food or material from
us:
Passed food conservat ton law;
Organized many voluntary COM
missions and boards who are aiding
the Government and the people in
the speeding up Of work, conserva-
ton of food, and other national
movements;
Drafted by lot 6S7,0OO men tor
military service;
While the Government was accom- =
plishing these things the American
people have loaned the United States
s2, ,OOO, 900, 900 and offered 81 1000
600, 900 more, over four million clti-
zens subscribing to the loan.
In addition they have given over
500, 10000 to the American Red
Cross and SO, 100000 to the Young
Mems Christian Association.
All these things were Ri'shed
while our soil was not invaded or
even threatened with invasion and
without any disturbance of business
conditions. All was done with the
calm determination and Judgment OF
an earnest, patriotic people perform
ing a service for civilization and man
kind and maintaining the rights, the
dignity, and the honor of the great
est nation in the world.
The German leaders derided Amer
ica's entry into the war as bluff
This is opr answer.
The German Imperial Government
was nearly fifty years in perfectine
its military efficiency. In less than
four months the American Republic
has made such strides as to indicate
that in less than two years time the
boasted superiority of German efhcl'
ency will have been discredited.
There is such a thing as American
| efficiency, and time will prove thai
German efficiency can not withstand
it, fighting as it is for liberty, justice
and humanity.
