Especial to The Bullet1n.)
 Headquarters of the Thirty fourth Company, L. I. S., Fort Terry. N. Y, Dec. 5.-Thanksgiving was big day for the boys on the island. Besides the fine weather and a number of visitors a bountiful dinner was pro- vided and included turkey and all of the fixings. Every man in the com- pany went away from the tables With a satisfied expression, after the meal which was partaken of by many Of the visitors. Before the men sat down to the tables Captain W. G.. TarboX then offered prayer. The menu, which was made up in an appropriate man. ner was as follows:
 Oranges a la Goldie

 Let the band play loud music
 Poquetanuck Turkey a la Tarbox Mashed Potatoes Mashed Turnips

 During the past month a number of men from the various companies on the island have taken examinations
 
 returns from those examinations were given out during the past week and this company fared better than any other company on the post in having men get through. Thirty-three mem bers of the company were made gun ners this number includes fifteen who were made first class summers. The company now has forty gunners which is a. fine showing.
 The company now has sixteen first nriIIfRS made since the last muster roll. The two men that have been made recent ly are William Donahue and Homer Wilbur. At present all of. the men are look ing forward to the time when they will receive orders to depart from the island. It is already known that part Of the company will leave as part of be in either Company or D. This much was made known to the men Monday morning and since that time everyone has been on the anxious seat to learn whether they are to be among those picked for. the foreign service or among those to spend the winter on the island. The regiment will be mounted on motor trucks with big guns and this is just the branch of the service the men have been looking for For the past week the men have been forced to leave their telephone num- Der and their address before they could leave the post. This coupled with the orders received by the off cers Monday morning would make it seem as if the company. was to leave in the near future. The drills for the various companies on the island have been made harder since it was learn ed that the men would leave for France in the near future
 During the long evenings the men make the most of the now Y. M. C. A.. building that has been erected on post. Many fine entertainments have been provided for the mon, Monday evening David Lockrow of ~Bostor

 There is much speculation all over the state as to whether Brown will be able to stay the ten round limit against Champion Leonard. There are many New Haven fans backing Brown to stay. while others believe the New Haven boy will be knocked out in short order.
 The club has matched Battling Lahn of Brooklyn and Billy Fftzsimmons of New Haven for the ten round semi final bout, but in order to accommo- date the out of town patrons, the club has arranged to stage Leonard and Brown at o'clock and put on the Lahn -Fitzsimmons bout to close the show.

SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ROADS
We Will Soon See Necessity for Sep
arats Systems for Freight and
Passenger Traffic. ~

President Rowe Of the American Au-
tomOblle association says that In ten
years the United States will be COW
cred with systems of national roads.
BY that time he says we will begin TO-
see the necessity for separate systems
for freight and passenger traffic. Pres
ent highways will be greatly multi.i
piled and largely increased In width.
The quality will be improved as the
country begins to learn the art Of
road building. Good roads he be-
lleves, are the greatest practical step
toward national preparedness.

Thanks to the puslrful. pervasive

has "got a move on" at last. There Is

roads and for better roads. The draw
back has been that, as yet, there has
been no coordination Of these multi
tudinous enterprises. The president Of
the National Highways Association,
Charles Henry Davis, O. e., in a re-
cent paper, stated that we spent last

shape and to improve them from time
to time. In North Carolina, convicts
have been employed on the roads since
1881, but the counties have been re-
CURED to hire them from the state and
pay for them out of the county funds.
The counties have, therefore, been par
Bimonious In their expenditures on
road improvements. Governor Beckett
suggests that county commissioners
be compelled to levy an annual main
tenance tax, to be spent by the state
highway commission for the upkeep Of
the roads. =
The nat al committee on prison la
Dor has r ,eatedly shown the value Of
employing cOnviets In road-making In
North Carolina and, other agricultural
states, this method Of employing the
convict Is particularly advantageous
because OF the scarcity Of labor at this
time.
The war brings the matter Of the
employment OF unskllled labor on roads
before the public again. Unskilled la
Dor has become very scarce and ex-
penslve; yet the present crisis de-
niands that the roads OF the country
be maintained In good shape to insure
rapid transmission of products. The
national committee on prisons and
prison labor has begun a movement
for the mobilization OF the convlcts OF
the country in national and state
service for the building and upkeep OF
good roads.
In this effort the committee will have
the. hearty support Of the American
Automobile association through its
good roads board. which includes a
member from each one Of the 600 odd
clubs contained In the national body
OF car owners. Z
