The extreme nature of the al

regarded in Berlin us indicating
a feeling of desperation which
might manifest itself in acts that
might draw other nations into the

From theoretical standpoint,
it might be advantageous for the

and strike either into the indus
trial section Of the Upper Rhine,
or into Belgium. rolling up the
German front.
Another course open to them is
through Switzerland from the
French side. into Southern AlSacc,
which might result in a rolling up
ri the German lines in this posi-
ton and clearing much Of the
provinces of Alsacc and Lorraine.
Still another possibility is that
the allies Will strike through Dem
mark for a march into Central
Germany. although this course
would require a vast force to ear
ry through successfully.

Building Roads and Men

Wayne county takes personal interest IN the
National road. Years ago 1t was one of the fam
Gus stopping places on the old highway. The adj
stroy the interest.
A few years ago this county held a good
roads day to renew our acquaintance with the
history of the thoroughfare and to arouse our at
tention to the necessity Of hard-surfacing it. The
completion of the concrete surface west of Rich
mond virtually makes the old road modern
thoroughfare throughout Wayne county
The state of Missouri is taking paternal in
terest in the extension Of the old highway west
of the Mississippi river. The state proposes to
hard-surface the highway from its eastern to its
western boundary. This cross-state road will be
one of the finest in the country.
To bring about the realization of this project
Missouri is using convict labor. It believes that
good roads and good men can be built at the same
time. Prisoners are put on their honor and given
road work if they choose it.
The men are housed in ideal camps. The
communities where the men are stationed do not
object to their presence. 1t is reported that
neighbors brought delicacies to a prisoner who
was badly injured. The prisoners are treated as
men, given opportunity to make good, and offered
chance to earn spending money.
So far the experiment has resulted in the bet
torment of the prisoners. The men enjoy the
work. No attractions of rules and no attempts
to escape have taken place. Placed on their hon
or, the men proving that they possess man.
hood and self-respect.
