irregular at times, with declines Of about 5

OF prices was upward. and in the afternoon
the market sold practically a cent net higher,
with the close a C 70 &C above the tnals OF
Tuesday. There was considerable selling
shortly after midday on rumors from Ger
many in the direction Of peace. but lack
Of confirmation promoted active covering,
which had much to do with the later strength
Of the market. Bulls also put emphasis on
the fact that II the government price Of
wheat IS 20 be over $40 the corn market
should be higher. Among the crop advices
received was that of the Iowa weekly which
said the corn Is still late, and that weather
conditions from now on must be much better
than normal 10 assure an average yield. The
government weekly crop bulletin reported
exceptionally favorable conditions IN the
South and Southwest, but said the crop was

Co. Commissioners TO Name
Lawrence-TOpeka Highway.
Boosters for Rival Routes Here
in Full Force.
TWO PLANS ARE CONSIDERED
One Calls for Concrete Sur
face Road.
Other Is for a Brick Highway
to the South Side.

The regular room in which the
county commissioners hold their
meetings at the courthouse was so
filled this afternoon by farmers and
good road men that the commissioners
were obliged to move to Judge Whit
combs division of the district court.
The commissioners announced that
before their meeting ended today they
would decide definitely whether they
would hard surface the Watson or Big
Springs route to connect Topeka by
a hard surfaced road with Douglas
county. Both roads are south OF the
river.
farmers living on the Watson or
south route. They didn't appear IN a
good humor when they arrived at the
cOurt house at 9 o'clock this morning
and found that the scheduled 10
o'clock decision had been postponed
by the commissioners until o'clock
this afternoon. They appeared ready
to speak to their minds this afternoon
if things didn't go to suit them
The Two Proposals
The north or Big Springs route pc
tition provides for a concrete road at
cost of approximately OO,OOO.
Those opposed to concrete say the
road will crack and be a failure IN
four years. Inc pellllOH IOI lAAS
south side, OF Watson route, calls for
brick paving, which, it is declared. has
superior wearing qualities over the
proposed concrete highway. 1t is
estimated that the brick road will cost
approximately $265, 900.
Bitter arguments began immediate
lv. The Watson road boosters accused
the members of the Lakeview club of
using their influence to get the county
commissioners to select the Big
Springs route. The Big Springs
boosters accused the Topeka, business
men of boosting for the Watson road
in an endeavor to improve the sur
roundings of the Shawnee County Golf
club.
Fight Begins Instantly.
Senator w. F. Schoch spoke in ia
Mitchell, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, told the commissioners
that it was only a short time ago that
Senator Schoch was working tooth

Those favoring the Watson route en-
phasiZed the better durability of a
brick road and the new territory that

open.

HASTEN TO ROME
Premiers of Great Britain and
France at Italy Council.
Indicates Seriousness of New
Crisis-ItaIy Front Holds Out.

% London, Nov. arrival of Pre-
mier Lloyd George of England. and
Premier Painleve in, Rome was taken
here today as evidence that the Ital-
ian situation is still serious. Prelim-
mary reports, however, indicated that
the Italians had successfully repulsed
the first bio aimed by the Germans
in the Trentino, in the expected enemy
offensive there. ana that the Taglia-
mento line still stood firm.
1t was believed here that the war
council scheduled at an early date in
Paris, together with Lloyd Georges
and Pa6nleves prompt response in
Italy's crisis wo~ld have a far-reach-
ing effect. Not only was this looked
for in military improvement, but it
was expected that a closer welding of
the allies would follow, not only in
prosecution of the war. but in more
intimate association of political
forces.
1t is now recognized here that Ger
man propaganda has played an i'm
portant role in Political unrest in Italy
Germany probably struck with her
army at a time when political trou-
bles in Rome. possibly fomented by
German agents, were thought by the
German propaganda chiefs to have
brought the alto ready for peace.
There has been a redoubling of late
in all allied nations of the Gefmar
propaganda efforts to stir up disaf-
fection between the entente powers
Prompt action will be taken to offset
this enemy activity
