 ''The stirring words with which the

 Declaring that Prussian militarism has taught the world in this war the lesson, that it was impossible to live

 Under the heading, Brothers in Arms" the Pall Mall Gazette says to- day of President Wilson's speech: "The president frames the issue in

 to commend it to them as conflict between the virtues of democracy and the crimes of autocracy.

COMMISSIONERS OF ROAD DISTRICT l5
 AWARD CONTRACTS
J. A. Perdue & Go. to Build Road and Finleys to
 Apply Asphalt.

Contracts for asphalt and for labor
 were awarded at a meeting of the board of commissioners of road inn privement district No. 15 of Jefferson county yesterday, in the office of Humphrey & Tovey, engineers for the district. J. P. Walt, R. Carnahan and w. G. Key, the commissioners ap- pointed by the county court, and J. F.. Quattlebaum, w. I. Payne and w. W. West, the additional commissioners named by the legislature, were all present.
 A full board being present. the commissioners visited the various im- provements in the course of construc- ton in and about the city and there after formally adopted the plans and specifications adopted by the original board of commissioners and approved by the county court and the legis- lature. After discussing the bids for the construction, it was decided that on account of the inc1e eased cost of supplies and labor which has accrued since the bids were received, no ad- ditional bids would be asked
 The commissioners let the contract for the construction work to J. A Perdue & company, whose bid was approximately $7,S00 lower than that of any other bidder. The commits sioners also let the contract for fur nishing and applying asphalt to Sam E. & c. J. Finley, whose bid was ap- proximately $500 lower than that of any other bidder.
 It was decided to advertise for bids for the road material to be received at meeting of the commissioners to be held on Tuesday, April IT, 1917.
 The assessors of the district have about finished the assessment of benefits against the land in the dis trict, and actual work of construction should begin within the next week or so.
 It is estimated that the entire cost of the work will aggregate abolt $214,000.

 In long editorial, the Evening Standard'-says:
 'The German government has done a very bad thing in forcing the United States into the ranks of it's enemies"
 It argues that until yesterday Ger many could have obtained peace by abandoning submarine warfare.
 The Standard then says that Ger many in bringing the crushing mate rial and moral force of the great re- public against her was acting on only two possible theories. One that Ger many contemplates surrender and that her pride demands that she sur render only to the whole world; sec ond, that it means desperate stalking of all on the chance of starving Eng land.
