trail powers. and an immense asset
from the standpoint Of the entente.
For 600 years il has been the policy
Of the Turkish rulers Of the Arab peo-
pie to stimulate tribal, municipal and
political feuds, to support one faction
against another. and thus hold the peo-
Pile in subsection. During this period.
while Arab vitality and intellect have
remained unchanged, the lands lnhab-
tied by the Arabs, once countries OF
civilization progress and culture, have
become wastes and an agglomeration
of ruins.
THE whole situation is now chang
ing. and old religious and tribal feuds
are dying down rapidly. In Syria
there is a sense of unity and brother
hood among Arab speaking peoples
such as has not existed since Turkish
domination was first inflicted on the
country.
1.-TWO recent occurrences have done
much to promote this feeling Of unity.
one Is Djemal Pasha's reign OF terror
at Damascus. which has brought sut-
fering and death into the noblest of
the princely families The other is the
action Of the Shereef of Mecca and his
followers in prochlming their indie
pendence The shereef has taken the
title OF King OF the Dedjaz.
Since the proclamation Of his king
snip King Hussan has formed alliances
with the other important independent
rulers OF Arabia, and wherever these
alliances reach, the Turk rules no
more. The territory thus divorced
from Turkish rule covers a space near
ly as large as India.
"In the United States and South
America there are many Arabs, and
they have there proved themselves the
moral and intellectual equal of the
Caucasian. The great driving force
of Arab racialism gives grounds for
hopes of an independent Arahistan,
which assisted by kinsmen gin America
should have all the essentials OF prog
ress and stability"

STATEHOOD FOR ARABIA.
Autonomous Government Planned by
Great Britain at Close of War

Correspondence Associated Press.
London, March l5.-lt is generally
believed in England tina the close Of the
war will see the reorganization Of
Arabia into definite government,
known as Arabistan, with the capital
in Mecca, and governing a territory
about the size of India. Reuters agen-
cy sends out a dispatch which may be
taken to summarize British official
opinion on the Arabian question. 1t
says:
THE Arab race is beginning not only
to awake but to coalesce. We are on
the verge of one of those great Arab
intellectual movements which have
been turning points in the history OF
the past both in Asia and Europe.
THE Arabs can not be expected, art
er being the victims of studied disin-
tegration for 500 years. to have a strong
national sense according to European
standards, but a sense of race and a
desire for independence is growing.
This feeling constitutes a menacing
factor from the standpoint Of the CEN

result of the differences between

day is given them"
1t is known that brotherhood mem
bers are displeased at the slow prog
ress being made in Washington to
secure for them the 8-hOur day, for
which they were ready to go on

had not congress meddled the strike
would have been over and their g.

the pillow burrows should extend down
into the clay usually varies from about
three inches to about five inches, and
depends on the sand content of the
clay and the cOmpactness of the road
bed. 1t should + borne in mind that,
in this case it is better to have sur
plus of sand than surplus Of clay
in the surface, because the former is
more easily corrected.
Case 3.-Figure . illustrates the two
principal steps involved in construct.
ing q sand-clay surface with topsoil
or other natural sand-clay mixture.
The roadbed should be graded in the
usual way, except that the portion to
be surfaced should be trenched out
with the grading machine to receive
the surfacing material. The surfacing
material should be spread to such a
depth that IT will be at least eight
inches thick at the center when COM
pacted.
Case 4.-Where 1t is necessary to
bring the sand and clay on the road
separately and mix them in place, the
method employed should be a combi-
nation of the methods already de-
Scribed. That is, a trench should be
formed with the grading machine to
receive the bottom layer of material
which may be either the sand or the

FEW DRY WALLS BUILT NOW
Forth the Highest Qualities of
the Mason's Art.

In dry walls think the old stone
mason takes the greatest pride of all ;
for it is in the dry WALL mean by
that wall laid without mortaf-that
the sheer art of the mason comes most
into play. Anyone can throw wall
together if he has mortar to make it
stick, but a dry wall must stand out
for what it is, built solid from the bot
tom up, each stone resting securely
upon the one below it, and braced and
nestled in by the sheer skill of the ma
son. The art of the dry wall is the an
cient heritage of New England and
speaks not only of the sincerity and
the conScientiOusness of the old Puri-
tan spirit but strikes the higher note
of beauty. Many of the older walls
l know are worth going far to see, for
| they exhibit rare sense of form and
proportion, and are sometimes set in
the landscape with a skill that only

of the construction methods should
aim to attain will be summarized
briefly.
CD The questions of location, de-
sign, drainage, grading, etc, are, if
anything, more important in the case
of sand-clay roads than in the case of
earth roads.
(2) The amount of clay contained in
a finished sand-clay road surface
should be only slightly more than suf
ficient to fill the vOids in the sand.
Ordinarily about one part of clay to
two parts of sand gives satisfactory
results, though the proper proportion
Tor any particular case can be deter
mined best by experiment.
(3) For average country-road traffic
and a stable roadbed, the depth of a
Sand-clay surface should be about
eight inches after it is compacted. If
clean sand and pure clay were used to
make the mixture, the respective
depths of the sand layer and the clay
layer required would be approximate
ly eight inches and four inches, meas
ured loose. 1t IS customary to decrease
the surface thickness from center to
sides, with a feather edge extending
out over the shoulders, but this prac-
tice makes it necessary for most Of
the traffic to use the center of the
