Clinton, June 22-officials Of the
Lincoln highway are to make an in
spection of the route from coast to
coast in July, according to announce
ment from State Consul. Coan, of Clin-
ton. Every city on the Main Street OF
the Nation" will be visited. 1t is said
to be the purpose of the officials to as
certain what prospect there is for the
various counties completing the grad
ing and crawling OF the highway be-
fore 1919. as was practically guaran-
teed when the route was selected. 1t is
the hope OF the officials to be able 10
assure the national officials when they
arrive here in July that the desired
improvements will be made before
1919
Movements of the same sort are on
foot in the other counties across the
state, and reports received by w. r
Coan, the Iowa consul. show that IN
many of these counties the work is TO
be carried out this year. These reports
have been of a most encouraging ma
ture, and indicate that an immense
amount of improvement work is to be
carried on this year on the Lincoln
thoroughfare in Iowa.
1t has been definitely stated that the
work must be done. II the present
trend of the Lincoln highway is per-
manentlv maintained The people in
cities and communities along other
routes are doing their utmost to bring
about a change, TO secure the Lincoln
WAY for their cities. AS the matter
stands there is no assurance inai tne
highway will be maintained thru Pot
tawattamie. II is indispensable that
the road thru the county be graded
and eraveled before 1919, and much
pressure Is being brought to bear on
the supervisors in an effort to induce
them TO give the highway preference
over other roads in ordering improve
ments

Gen. Scott and His Staff
Watched Start of Russian
Drive From Wheat Field

Gen. Scott went at once to the war
department this morning and con-
ferred with Secretary Baker and Maj
Gen Bliss, acting chief of staff. He de-
clined to discuss any of the political
aspects of the mission to Russia. but
was firm in the belief that Russia was
sound at heart
"A people that has been held down
FOR years has been suddenly told it was
free to do as it pleased he said
There was AN orgy of liberty, but now
they are settling down. Every day sees
a little improvement. Russia is sound
at heart"
When the mission left Russia on its
way home the offensive of the army
against the Austro-Germans was at its
high tide. Gen. Scott and some of his
party watched the inception of that
movement and We're hailed as mascots
of new Russia. The latest reports
reaching the Americans before they
sailed for home was that $4,000 prison.
eSs had been taken and 100 guns while
the Austro-German line had been
swept back to depth of fifteen miles
on wide front.
The mutiny which swiftly altered the
situation is attributed to the Germa n
propaganda by the returned Americans.
1t is believed that many Russians who
hastened back to Russia from the
United States after the revolution may
have been German agents and carried
German funds for that purpose.

Many Would Serve q. S.

The embassy at Petrograd has been
besieged by young Russian officers
eager to obtain commissions in the
United States Army. They were told it
was impossible, as they did not know
the language or the American military
system. Their eagerness to serve un-
der the American flag was attributed
TO the fact that many Russian army
organizations have been controlled by
soldiers committees since the revolu-
ton.
Gen. Scott said the work of the Rus
sian troops in the offensive early in
July, which he watched, could not be
improved upon. He was greatly i'm
pressed by the work of the artillery.
The American officers watched the fight
start from the hidden observation
trench of the corps commander. and

said such an opportunity might not

influence prevented the enactment OF

We are told that the delay was a piece

than patriotism in order to let some

speaker when consideration of the con-

which have been made on Herbert {.

any attacks made on him are also in
directly made against the administra-
