Rushing Preparations for War.
From Washington it appears that
war will be conducted in complete har'

OF the allies and the Washington GOV

Although Cornell is not primarily a
normal school, some 81 per cent eN-
press a preference for teaching. AL
lowing generous margin for those
who may confine their teaching to the
home, there is still indication that
more and better trained teachers will
soon be found in our schools. Medi.

16 per cent of the men who reported.

Yesterday the senate foreign re-

ministration resolution declaring that
a state Of war exists with Germany.
Every effort is being made to have
the resolution adopted by the senate
at once, but no doubt number of
senator's will take this opportunity of
expressing their views by delivering
lengthy addresses. Many OF the SEN
atOrs are opposed to an alliance with
the entente or federal lean to them.
Senator Kenyon, Of Iowa, is said to
be opposed to a formal alliance with

No one can criticize the president
for not presenting the cause of the
United States in this world contest
in the strongest light possible. The
country has never had a president
who can more ably present a state of
facts in writing than President Will
son, and on this occasion he sustain
ed his reputation and produced one Of
the greatest state papers that the
country has known.
" He does not complain of the Ger
man people, but on the contrary SYM

MAKING SURVEY FOR ROAD
OVER MONARCH PASS

Word comes from Salida that Chief
Engineer Jeffries OF the United Stat
es engineering corps and efficient
helpers are busily engaged In making
a permanent survey for the new road
over Monarch pass. He will have
completed his work on this siIe OF the
pass within two weeks and will then
move his camp from Garfield to the
western slope. where the survey will
be completed to Sargent.
J. !. Glenn. who has been in con
sultation with the engineer in charge
says: THE proposed new road will
be 81 miles in length and will cost in
the neighborhood of 100000. The
survey begins at Maysville and keeps
up the mountainside until Garfield is
reached. when portions OF the old
tinuDus and will run from Az to 51s
per cent. In one or two places a max
imum grade of per cent will be
reached, but only for short stretches.

the way, with suitable drains. From
Monarch the survey bears to the
south OF the present road and will top
the continental divide several hundred
feet lower. The road on the western
slope will be changed almost entirely
and the survey completed into Sar-
gents instead OF to Tomichi creek at
the foot of the hill as at present. Ex-
cellent material for road building, ma
ture has supplied in abundance"
Jeffries says the road being built
on the south hill side will be free from
snow nearly all winter as far as Mon
arch and the entire stretch from
Maysyille to Sargent will afford the
traveller the finest views of mountain
scenery to be seen anywhere in the
United States. He further says there
seems to be no doubt about the road
being built next summer, but that by
the time the estimate Is sent into the
government and congress has time to
act, 1t will be too late to do any actual
road building this summer.
