New Road Problem.
louisville Courier-Journal)


The institution of auto truck freight
service between Philadelphia and
Reading is accompanied by the an
nouncement that there soon will be
freight service over the highways be-
tween the New England States and
Washtn gtoD This will be a forerun-
ner of the far broader development of
truck service which will attend the
progress of the war. The possibilities
of hauling freight over the public
roads are limited by the mileage Of
suitable roads rather than by the sup
ply of trucks and fuel.
The war has given welI-improved
roads a value f0reseen before the wal,
but not expected to be rea liked within
a decade. It has also made much
more pressing than it would be other
wise a this time the problem of how
to adapt public roads to the require
ments of heavy traffic, and how to
revolutionize the popular attitude
toward road-making costs. It is evil
dent that we cannot transform public
roads made for passenger vehicles and
farm wagons into bearers of large ca
pacity trucks operated at fair speed
W1thout\increasing greatly the cost OF
building and maintaining them.
The greatly added cost Of roads
doubtless will be divided by legislation
between the owners of land and freight
trucks. The trucks, as the vehicles
making the greatest demand upon
road builders, and causing the great
est injury to roads, should be made to
foot fair proportion Of the bill for
construction and maintenance, but it
should be borne in mind that when
road conditions are such that inter-
state freight traffic is possible under
conditions making it proflta ble the
territory In which it is possible will
have achieved independence of com
mon carriers in SO far as its inhabi-
tants are financially able to convey
themselves or their freight in motor
vehicles, and that the cost of roads
sufficiently we'll made to witfst stand the
wear and tear Of heavy freight traffic
Will be in a measure returned to the
territory they traverse. O1d-tne ROAD
costs will become ridiculously small

transportation would be. by comparI-
son with the modern road. a ridicu-

New England Must Lead.
(Boston Evening Transcript,

| Tt has been the habit of New Eng
| land TO lead in patriotism, not to fol-
! low. But she is following, and a good
| lonS way in the rear of other sections,
! today In connection with our delin-
! puency in loan subscriptions there is a
| very sad thought that comes to the
! mind
! There are more New England troops
under fire in France today, proper
tlonatelY. than of any other section
! OF the country. In the recent casual
ty lists probably more than half the
names are Of men in New England
organtZa tons. Our boys have been
| over the top first on the other side,
and they are in the forefront today.
Why is this so? 1t is because our
Yankee division was in a better state
Of readiness. when the war was de-
Cared and was the first National
Guard division to go to France. In
that great call we lcd--we did not
follow.
The boys are fighting bravely and
| brilliantly over there. At Seicheprey
they Withstood the onset OF a greatly
! superior German force, winning back
the town from which ut first they
were driven. Daily we are hearing of
their brave deeds, in far as Wash-~
ingtOn permits us to hear tn EN-. we
do not know the whole list Of the
dead or the wounded, nor do we know
how many of the first forlorn hope, or
what members of il, are today IN
German prison pens. But we know
that all have splendidly done their
duty, and will continue to do it, But
what will these boys feel and think,
if, while they arc maintaining the
wit
lives, they hear that their home sec
ton is Ia aging far behind in the nee
essary and vital respect of the sub
scriptions to the Third Liberty Loan?
The boys will hear about it in their
trenches and dug-outs. If they do not
read a bout it in the papers that they
have over there, printed on that side,
they will get the home paper in two
or three weeks. and they will know
that while they were lighting and dy-
ing, the people at home We're so busy
about other things that they neglect
ed their prime duty. They will read
that New England Jagged millions be
hind in its subscriptions. compared
with other sections of the country.
They will read that the loan meetings
were thinly attended. They will see
that Bostin in particular was far pc
hind the little towns in getting out
her quota Of subscriptions. How Will
that cheer up the boys as they hight!
It may be easy to say that Ne"
England Will come in strong on the
home stretch.' But that Is not now
the question. 1t is question OF
heartening the soldiers of New Eng
land as they bear their manly part III
the critical moment Of the battle 1t
is a matter whic hdoes not admit or
procrastination or deliberatlOn. 1t Is
in this way by springing once and TOR
all to the top Of the list, that We must
bear our part in the battle. II we
would stand by our soldiers, ana DE
worthy Of them, we must lead as theE

THE RIGHT MAN,

That President Wilson means to
leave no stone unturned in the in
vestigation of aircraft production is
evidenced by his appointment of
Charles f. Hughes of New York to
assist the Department of Justice in
probing the charges preferred by
Gutzon Borglum.
The President could not have Sc
lected q man better suited to assist
in thorough, impartial investiga-
ton. Mr.. Hughes has shown himself
at ali times to be fearless and COM
petent official, and his record in the
New York life Insurance scandal
makes us confident that when he has
finished his inquiry, the public may
be sure that it will have all the facts
in the case, and nothing but the facts.
And the President has not only
chosen the best man availa ble but at
the same time he pays graceful
tribute to his defeated opponent in
the last presidential election. The re-
port which Mr.. Hughes will submit
will be free from personal or political
prejudices. It will be a report we'll
worth reading.

War Bulletins

German armies which have been
holding the front along the sector
from Lens to Armentieres are in
retreat, and with the British in close
pursuit are hufriedly abandoning
the. region south of the Lys river,
where they were in danger of envel-
opment.
This retreat seems to have uncov-
cred the important city of Lille, and
withdrawal all the way down the
line in front of Arras.
North OF the wedge driven into the
German lines by the Anglo Belgian
drive there are no indications OF a
retirement as yet, although military
critics believe that the German hold
on the port of Ostend will be short
lived now that Roulers is virtually
in the hands of the allies.
Plunges Through Last Line.
Smashing against the German line
east OF St. Quentin, Field Marshal
Haig's army plunged through the
last line of the formidable linden
burg system yesterday. This assault
seems TO have been blow struck at
vital spot in the enemy's defense,
and its success is attested by the
progress made during the day. Ter
rifle efforts, made by the Germans
to halt the progress of the British
were fruitless, and it is reported that
British cavalry and tanks have
reached the open country back OF
the enemy's line.
Further successes at this point
would seem TO shake the whole Ger
man line from Douai to Rheims. The
enemy so far as known, has no 9TH
er positions in that region as form
idable as those captured during the
past week by the allies. Directly be-
hind this front, are railroads that
are vitally important to the enemy
forces fighting further to the south.
Rheims May Soon Be Freed
Near Rheims, General Berthelot's
army has made new progress and
the time seems not far distant when
he cathedral city will be freed from
German artillery fire for the first
time since 1914.
This advance by the French has
very close relation to that of the
British around St. Quentin as well
as on operations further east in
Champagne There are some mil
itary experts who believe that this
drive is of the greatest strategical
value than any other now going on

best sermon is practical eNtmplc.
Every beautiful home that is built
is sermon in material form that
in time will make the nation ma
tion of beauty worshippers.
OF course the goal is far distant.
Men who make the neighbors de-
sire better things than they can
find in the world about them, and
who can make this desire take ma
terial form, are the real educators
of the lard.
Emerson said something to the ef-
feet that the presence in the COM
munity of man Of character in-
creased the value of the real estate
there.
1t may be said with equal truth
that the building Of beautiful home
in a community instantly increases
the value OF real estate, and, what
is even more important, is an in
fluence which, working upon those
who live in ugly houses, will event
ually produce a collection that will
be proud temples erected to the
Goddess of Beauty.
a stroll through neighborhood
of beautiful homes may do more
for a man with troubled soul than
the most eloquent sermon that may
be preached in an ugly Church,
How 4 beautiful spirit can de-
velop in an ugly house is something
| cannot understand. Such per-
son must feed upon lovely visions
found in the land OF imaginationS-
food that cannot be seen by the
average mortal.
We hunger for beautiful colors,
beautiful sounds, beautiful voices,
beautiful ideas. But Of what value
is an occasional banquet of these
things when our fare at home is a
compound of ugliness and unlovely
things?
Thang God, for all OF those great
souls who are preaching the gospel
Of better and more beautiful homes.

was reading the other day about

and who remained there all his life.
Naturally, he became an English
man through and through. His
ideals were English ideals. He
thought as Englishmen OF his class

young Englishmen have died, in
the great war.
What happened to this young
American when he went to England
is happening to thousands OF other
young Americans whose parents are
taking them into new homes. These
Youngsters will become what their
names are. If their homes are
beautiful, if there is true home
building spirit in them, if they are
alive with neighborliness and the
flowers Of culture, these young peo-
pie will express themselves beauti-
fully. The home spirit will be-
