worse, to waste money in work of
this sort with the use of bad material.
In building culvert the road
builder must observe three funda-
mental requirements:
/. The first requirement is that the
culvert must be so placed that it will
drain across the road, and under the
road, of course, all the water that is
delivered to it by the side ditch along
the road. If this be not done, the
earth along the road and about the
end of the 'culvert will be wet and
cuivert opening will require almost
constant repairs. Repairing a high
way culvert is relatively more ex-
pensive than similar work in town
because of the waste of time of the
workmen in going to and from the
point at which the work must be done.
In placing the culvert care must also
be taken that it will not be choked
by brush and leaves, and this duty
must be discharged by the road super
visor, and will be, if he is worth his
salt.
2. The second and very important
requirement in the building of Gull
vert is that its ends must be protected
by some kind of wall or facing car
ried down to a firm foundation. If
this be done, it will be found that the
end of the culvert will not be under
cut by the water and will not be
broken, frost will not injure it, the
surrounding or superintendent earth
will not~slide down into the ditch in
front Of the opening, and, with the
further necessary work of keeping the
feeding bitches clear, the culvert will
be able to take care of all the water
alongside the road.
8. The third requirement Is that the
culvert must be made SO strong that
it will not become broken and so tight
that it will not leak. These ends can

BUILDING OF ROAD CULVERTS
If Not Constructed of Good Material
They Will Have to Be Rebuilt in
Very Few Years.

material they will have to be rebuilt

Defective culverts vitiate one of the

THE ULTIMATE OF DIPLOMACY

That wise man who said the other day that wal
but continuance of diplomacy must have had in
mind just such situation has arisen today between
the United States and Germany
Germany in her depredatons has brought
yet Germany determined not to declare war
The viewpoint of that nation is we'll stated in the
speech of Chancellor Won Bethman Heliweg before the
reichsag Thursday of this week. After saying that
his nation had resored to unrestricted submarine war
fare wholly in self defense, the chancellor says:
TT the American nation considers this
for which to declare against the German
ton with which il has lived in peace for
than hundred years, if this action warrants
increase of bloodshed we shall not have to bear
the burden of responsibility for it."
That is theF ultimate of dpIomacy-to wage re-
lentless upon nation and then fasten the re-
sponsibiy for that upon the victimzed nation.
America has said to Germany from the beginning:
We determined to have with you. If war
The decision is in your hands
Congress will meet Monday with that determin
alton still firmly fixed in its mind President Wilson
all his advisers have held to that determination
and have expressed themselves in every word and
act. But the fear is general that Germany has
gone too far that there is nothing left for congress
TO do but to declare open and to put the issue
sword.
1t is time for deep thinking for patriotic resolu-
lions and for earnest prayer.
