Direct social and commercial in
tercourse between the north and
south by public highway will be
made possible by the end of this
year by the raising OF a subscrip-
ton fund of $50, 900. This sum, add
ed to an equal amount set aside by
the state Of Kentucky from its
quotas of federal aid for 1917 and
1918, will be sufficient to open a
way through the mountains in
southeastern Kentucky which is the
only remaining barrier 10 travel

subscription fund is already assured
and as soon as the full amount is
pledged active construction work

The Dixie highway is the only
practicable direct route between
these two sections that can be
opened within two or three years.
Ninety per cent of the difficult con-
struction between Knoxville and

way of a completed highway be-

Men who drive cars are face to face with
a condition that becomes more and more
serious each day.
That condition is the constantly de-
clining grade of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-grade gas.
For the moment, and possibly for all
time, multi-cylinderS, counter balanced
Crankshafts, and little tricks with valves
give way in engineers discussions to the
gas problem.
Every alert engineer is bending his
utmost to make lone drop of gas now do
the work of two.
Just as great situations produce great
men, SO out of this condition has come a
great engine.
1t is a Chalmers.
1t makes high power out of low grade
Compared with other engines of the
same size or thereaboutS, it shows:
More bo1Uer More rapid acceleratiOn
Greater economy Greater length of life
Greater sm0OthnesS
ind an dnaSing ability to start quickly on
a cold dcy, and TO "qOarm UP 0OtthOnt delay.
The Chalmers engine is a simple one.
That is one reason why it is SO good.
In many engines of the moment the gas
passes on It's way from the carburetor TO the
cylinder through a tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block.
Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is
forced to turn many sharp angles and does
not become completely mixed with the air.
This results In raw gas running into not
only one but all the cylinders, particularly
when the car is cold, and especially when
running for the first five or ten miles.
In the case of the Chalmers engine this
type of intake manifold has been COM
pletely eliminated.

DYING FOR ONES COUNTRY
Death Never Comes Too Soon, II
Necessary in Defense Of Our
Country."-Story.

II was Nathan Hale who said, II
regret that l have but one life to lose
for my country" And IT is Horace
that makes one OF his heroes say: 1T
is sweet and glorious to die for ones
country" There have been many and
striking Illustrations OF this in our
cOuntry's history. 1t is said that the
untimeIy fate Of Col. Owen Roberts,
who fell at StoDo, was cause OF uni
versal regret. He was an infieIible
patriot, an excellent disciplinarian,
and enthusiast In pursuit OF military
fame His son, who was in the ac-
ton, hearing OF his misfortune,
hastened 10 him. The expiring vet
eran perceivlng In his cOuntenGAce the
uveliest sorrow, addressed him with
great composure: II rejoice, my boy,
once again to see and to embrace you.
Receive this sword, which has never
been tarnished by dishonOr, and let II
not be inactive while the liberty OF
our country is endangered. Take my
last adieu, accept my blessings, end re-
turn TO your duty"

exploit he rallied $50 of the valiant
mountain boys and on the ninth day Of
Muy, 1915, succeeded In getting a few
boats and transported SO men across
the lake, and sent the boats back for
the rest Of the men. But day now be-
gan TO dawn and Colonel Allen real
lied that if the attempt against the
fort were to succeed he and his daring
expedition must act at once.
Nothing daunted by the fact that
their force was so few, and making up
in patriotic devot1jn what they lacked
in numbers, Colonel Allen called for
volunteers for the perilOus venture.
II do not urge any TO enter on this
enterprise contrary TO his will, mas
much as 1t is desperate attempt,
which none but the bravest Of men
dare undertake." cried Colonel Al
len. You that will undertake volun-
tarily, poise your f1relock." Every
man poised his firclock.
He Immediately formed them into
line and at their head advanced on
the CUTE Of the fortress. The sentry
snapped his fuse at the colonel and
then retreated to the parade within
the garrison. Allen and his men
quickly followed and formed in the
parade. The garrison was asleep-all
but the sentres who did not fully
sense what was transpirtng. Allen
and his men gave three huzzas, and
one of the sentries made a pass at one

and slightly wounded him.
Allen was about to run him through
with his sword but thought better OF
IT and only slightly wounded him on
the head whereOn he dropped his gun
and begged for quarter. This grant

commander rushed and compelled the
commander, Captain Dyiaplace, to
come forth and deliver over the en-
tire garrison on threat Of putting the
entire force to the sword.
"By what authOrity?" demanded
Captain Delaplace.
"In the name OF the Great Jehovah
and the Continental Congress" thun-
dered Allen, as he raised his sword
over Delaplace's head. In the mean
time the Green Mountain boys had not
been idle but had beaten down the
barracks doors and had about a third
of the garrison prisoners. With slut
tered expostulation the commander
forthwith submitted and the fort was
completely in the hands of Colonel AL

FEDERATION SENDS LETTER

Charles S. Shreve, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations Of
the District of Columbia, and Charles A.
Baker, chairman Of committee to ar
range for preferential primary by the
citizens Of the District to indicate a
choice for District Commissioner to sue
ceed Oliver P. Newman, called today at
the White House, to leave a letter for
President Wilson, asking for an ap-
pointment, to discuss with the President
the proposed primary.
The committee was received by
Thomas w. Brahany. assistant secre-
lay the request of the committee be-
fore the President. In their letter the
committee stated that they desired to
wait upon the President "and ascer-
tain II our scheme of selecting candi-
date would embarrass you"
1t was explained to Mr.. Brahany that
if President Wilson feels that he de-
sires to make an appointment in sue
case the latter is commissioned as an
officer In the Reserve Corps. without
any aid or suggestion from the citizens
OF the District. such as might be ex-
pressed in the proposed preferential
primary. then the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations would proba bly,
abandon its plan to hold such pri-
mary.
Representative of All Residents.
1t was explained by the committee
also in its letter to the President that
the organization Of the proposed pri-
mary is to be such that 1t will be not
representative merely of tha federa-
ton. but will be representative of all
the people of the District, and that its
only purpose is to bring out the name or
names Of men who might be suggested
position Of District Commissioner in
case Mr.. Newman's office becomes
vacant. 1t was the idea of the COM
mittee 1t was stated. that this candi-
date or candidates might be consid-
cred by the President in connection
with the names Of any other candi-
dates he may have in mind or which
may be submitted later.
President Wilson had not returned from
his usual morning game of golf when
the committee called at the White House
this morning. He has a number Of ap-
pointments for the next few days, and 1t
is not known what the attitude Of the
President might be in regard to discuss
Ing the District commissionership until
vacancy in 1t occurs-in other words, until
IT 10 known whether Mr.. Newman is to
leave the commissionership. At present
Mr.. Newman is on three-month leave
OF absence. which would make It un-
necessary for the President to come to a,
decision until September. This fact. it is
believed. will give the Federation Of
Citizens Associations plenty OF time in
which to gain an audience with the Presi-
dent and to carefully organize the pro-
posed preferential primary and hold it II
1t will not embarrass the President to
have such primary.
