ROAD BUILDING HINTS GIVEN
Military Attaches With Former Pre-
mier 6alfour Of England, I'M
part Information.

Some interesting information re.
garding military road building was Civ.
on TO the United States when the Eng.
llsh mission headed by Former Pre-
mier Balfour arrived in New York.
Military attaches told how the armies
Of France and Great Britain rebuilt
roads In France and Belgium.
English military engineers recently
have made experiments demonstrating
that 1t Is possible and desirable to
build the highest types of road sur
faces for the temporary or emergency
movement of artillery and supplies.
Roads built with asphalt sent from
England have been constructed in the
rear Of the Franco-Belgian front.
Roads so improved gave better serv-
ice than any type attempted under the
swift and heavy movement necessi-
tated by the artillery action which
precedes infantry attacks. It was
observed that motortrucks and gun
carriages suffered no injury in move
ment over these hastily constructed
pavements, while frequent breakdowns
were experienced when road building
was not attempted.
Following those experiments a mis-
sion, including officers Of the British
and French engineer corps, looked
over the pavements in the envlrons
of Paris built in the last three or four
years. Among other roads inspected |
was thp oSpbnlt Dovpment laid on fho |
road to Versailles, which has been
carrying heavy military traffic ever
since the war started. AS a result |
Of these experiments and investiga-
tons it has been decided, wherever
possible, to construct similar surfaces
Tor the movement of military traffic
n regions where roads have been de-
stroyed or where they may be made
by battle plans.

Ypres Slaughter Pen.

With the British secure in all the
positions they won Thursday along
more than eight miles of front of the
Ypres sector in Flanders, Field Mar
shai Haig's men were busy Friday
consolidating their newly won posi-
tons and preparing for another hack
into the German lines when the time
becomes propitiOus. Nothing but the
dropping of shells from German
guns served to interrupt the breathing
spell the British were taking, except
here and there small counter attacks
which lacked the usual strength the
Germans employ in endeavoring to
regain lost ground. In addition to
the enormous casualties inflicted on
the Germans, the British captured
4, 446 prisoners in Thursday rs attacks,
among them ia officers. Not only
have the British wrenched away ma
ny vital strongholds, but they have
inflicted almost unprecedented casual
ties on the enemy. AS the attacking
troops went out in quest OF great ad-
venture over the mist-shrouded slopes
the vast protective artillery barrage
caught in its merciless swirl large
numbers of the enemy, who, by coin
cidence also, had been massing for an
early morning attack along a wide
front extending from the neighbour
hood of Zonebeck to the Polygood
wood. Some five divisions of Ger
man troops were actively involved,
three Of these having been hur-
riedly rushed upin reserve in order to
support their comrades in the front
lines when the German attack should
begin. A solid wall of breaking shells
plowed through them in a hurricane
of death and they lie in countless
thousands amid the devastation that
the barrage left in its W AXE. Part OF |
these Inflated troops were the famous
guardsmen in whom the German en- |
peror had taken such pride in the |
days gone by. But these massed |
troops were not the only ones to suf-
fer, for reports from prisoners all
along the line indicate that the Ger
mans lost heavily throughout the ter
ritory involved. AT many places Ger
mans ran in terror or were captured |
in large numbers as the British attack
began. All day streams OF broken
prisoners continued pouring into the
British cages in the rear. Perhaps
half OF them were wounded, some
blinded and some with shattered
limbs, pitiful sight even to those
hardened to such scenes.

BUILDING GOOD EARTH ROADS
Can Be Constructed at Low Cost, but
They Require Constant and Costly
Attention.

Good earth roads can be constructed
at a very low cost; however. they re-
quire constant maintenance, which may
be expensive where the travel is heavy.
A well-built and properly maintained
earth road will serve some sections as
well as the most expensive types Of
hard-surfaced roads will serve other
sections. Where this fact is realized
more attention will be paid tosearth
roads. and the money spent on them
Will not be regarded as lost.

again lowered last week when only II
vessels Of more than 1000 tons were
destroyed. The previous record was

According to Sir George Watt, the,
name "clove" denotes its resemblance
to nail (clovus). There seems to
doubt, he says, that the Chinese pro
cured the Glove from its island hortae,
the Moluccas, or Spice islands, for sSev-
eral centuries before 1t reached e 41-
rope; there are records that point a.
this traffic as early as 260 b. @. Tie
Glove was not regarded by the inhabIft-
ants Of the Spice islands--as of Amy
value until the Chinese desired to ne
supplied with '1lttle sweet-smelll1lg
nails" In that circumstance alone lIIIy
the interest taken by the people CT
the Moluccas in the plant, and "nail"t
or "clove" became its name in most
