BaUarian Disclosure Cause
Wide Comment In London

London, Nov. 27.-Newspapers
here devote much space to discus
sions OF the revelations made by
Bavaria in publishing official tele-
grams which passed between Berlin
and Munich just before the war
broke out in 1914. They agree that
the guilt of Germany and Austria,
persistently denied during the past
four years, has been proven by the
Bavarlan government.
Germany has been challenged
again and again to produce the
whole correspondence between Ber-
lin and Vienna, during July, 1914"
says the Times. She has never
dared to produce it. Will the new
government dare-just to show the
gull between it and its predecess-
ors? Bavaria has proved she was
an accomplice OF Berlin and Wen
ma. She supported them until they
lost and now she shall not whiten
her character in the eyes OF the al
lies by blackening the records OF her
confedertes.

ters made OF birch boughs. Amer
leans troops are holding the line
against the bolsheviki on the middle
sector of the northern front in the
region of Kadish. After ten weeks
of fighting in swamps and thick un-

showed in and have bivouacked
along an ice-filled stream on the
other side of which are the camp
fires of the enemy.
Under British command and with
British forces aiding them, the Am

probably have had more fighting and
more hardships than other Amer

roads have been in bad condition

There is at present necessity tor

for the maintenance OF Germany 5
unity and to fight all the separatist
movements.
The proposal for speedy sum

meets general approval.
Unti the meeting OF the national
assembly the soldiers and work

of the empire is required to work for
the securing OF a preliminary peace
with the utmost speed.
DR.. August Mueller, minister OF

unauthorized cncroachments on the
money and credit systems by com

The following resolution was then
unanimously adopted

He opposed class parliament such

GOOD ROADS
 SAVED FRANCE

In the July Farm and Preside an editorial says:
 Good roads have twice saved France in the present war. Had 1t not been for the radiating road sys- tenn maintained by the French Gov ernn1ent, the Germans would have won the battle of the Marne and reached Paris. The Germans had call culated on only three divisions being sent out from Paris to stop the in- vasion. Instead, the excellent system of highways made 1t possible for five divisions to be sent to this front.
 Again, shortly after the battle of Verdun started, the French railroad which was to furnish many of the sup plies to the troops was destroyed. The French Government, however, had a macadam road 32 feet wide on which four lines of traffic, two in either di- rection, were maintained. Day and night 14,000 motor trucks carried men and equipment.
 ''The traffic never stopped. When a hole was made in the road, 8 man with a shovel full of rock slipped in between the lines of trucks and threw the rock into the hole, then jumped aside to let the trucks roll the rock down."
