BRITONS BUILDING
HIGHWAYS IN FRANCE
Finest Roads in World Being
Made of Broken Stone and
Brick from the Shell
Torn Houses.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Behind the British Lines in France,
June l7.-Hundreds of miles OF the
smooth white macadam roads OF
northern France will remain for many
years after the war as real memorial
to the devastated towns which the
Germans left in ruins after their
retreat this spring.
All over northern France the roads
are being widened and resurfaced with
stone and rubble from the wrecked
houses of Peronne, Albert, Arras, and
countless other ruined towns and viii
lagos. As fast as the British soldiers
clear away the debris of the towns, it
is piled into lorries and distributed
in heaps along the main roads. There
German prisoners toll the day long
pounding it into level patches which
the great steam rollers, many Of them
bearing familiar American names,
grind quickly into smooth macadam
for the business of transport.
The brick and stone OF these old
Buildings makes as good road ma
terial as could be obtained anywhere,
and the work of the German dyna-
miter has been so thorough that much
of it is crushed fine enough to need
no further preparation.

Quebec House in England
Preserved as Landmark

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
Westerham, England, June TO-
Quebec House, the home of General
Wolfe, hero Of Quebec, which, be-
fore the war, was one OF the show
places about London for American
and Canadian tourists, has passed
from control of the Canadian govern
ment to the National Trust, a semi
official body, which aims to preserve
historic landmarks.
The home was purchased in 1918
by the late ]. B. Learmont OF Mon
treal, who wanted to maintain il as
a public monument. He died before
his plans could be completed, but his
heirs conveyed il to the Canadian gov
ernment. Owing to the difficulty Of
administering trust SO distant, that
government preferred that the prop
erty should be vested in an English
body,
The house contains a collection Of
specimens of the native work Of Ca.
madam Indians and of pictures and
prints illustrating the progress of the
Dominion. Wolfe was not born in the
house, but at house close by which
still exists. He spent most Of his
childhood days at Quebec House.

ENGLISH TOBACCO
DEALERS SCORED
Are Accused of Boosting Prices
Of Soldiers Luxury" Far
Above Fair Average of
Profit.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
London, May 20.-The most unpop-
ular persons in England at the pres
ent day are the retail tobacco dealers.
They are accused of the most brazen
stroke of war profiteeriug that has
yet been achieved. The budget intro
duced recently raised the tax on to-
bacco by A cents pound. Thereupon
almost all of the dealers announced a
raise in prices averaging on all forms
Of tobacco about "a cents a pound.
The dealers take advantage of an ex-
ira tax to charge the consumer the
tax and also an extra profit of 20
cents a pound. The consumers are
indignant, but as the dealers gener-
ally hang together, the consumers
have no remedy except to stop using
tobacco. There is an additional
grievance in that a large proportion
of the tobacco used in England is
consumed by the soldiers in training,
on leave or in hospitals and purchased
by home people to send to their SOL
diers at the front
The profits resulting from this in
creased tax really work out at more
thar 20 cents pound, because both
the tax and profit are charged on all
the tobacco now in stock which paid
duty at the old rate. So that, on the
stocks in hand when the duty was
raised, the dealers are making a new
profit of o. cents a pound.
The tobacco trade will make about
$55,0O0000 year for collecting the
new duty which is expected to yield
$50, 100000 revenue, according to the
estimates of correspondent of the
Daily Mail. He figures also that the
traders have about 100000 pounds

TEUTON SEA FORCE
MUST RULE PACIFIC
Without Control Germany Will
Miss Opportunity in World
Trade, Says Noted
Professor.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Copenhagen, May 20. - Germany
must re-establish itself in the Pacific,
in order not to miss its last oppor-
tunity to prevent final settlement of
Japanese, American and British, espe-
cially Australian, interests, in the
opinion of Prof. Paul Preuss in an
article in the Hamburger Nachrichten
of Hamburg.
"a self-contained Central Africa"
he writes, stretching as far as posi-
bic to the west, and the possibility of
a land connection of Central Africa
with Constantinople by way Of Egypt
makes the scheme seem particularly
attractive. But world economics and
world politics cannot be pursued
with Central Africa alone. We need
other bases also for our world trade
and sea traffic. In the far east, in the
Pacific ocean we have for three de-
cades possessed a rising little colonial
empire, and it would be an unforgiv-
able and irreparable mistake if we
were" to abandon our South sea
colonies and to withdraw from the
Pacific, merely because the great set
tlement of interests has begun among
the three great powers-Japan, North
America and England-Australia, and
because we shall have to fear that at
some later date we should come into
contact with these powers.
"If the three powers were to arrive
at perfect and permanent agreement
about the Pacific ocean and China our
case would be hopeless. But as long
as Japan and America oppose one an
other in more or less open hostility,
and as long as Australia sees in
Japan, whom England has summoned
to the protection of its interests in the
east, its most dangerous competitor
and opponent-as long as these things
are so, Germany has no occasion to
bulge from the Pacific.
"A temporary occupation of our
colonies by our enemies is Of no de-
cisive importance. The disappearance
of the German flag from New Guinea
and the group of islands in the Pa.
cific would mean an irreparable loss
of prestige and world power for the
German empire all over the east. i
we lose our naval bases there we fall
back to the rank of mere carriers and
traders, in whose face the door car
always be slammed"
