Index Road Begun.

After many delays work was
begun Monday on Morgan coun-
tvs first graded road. Finding
it impossible to secure a bid for
the construction of the road from
West Liberty to Index at figures
that were reasonable, the Fiscal
Court undertook the construction
of the road itself, and the work
began Monday. The engineer in
charge, Mr.. Walker. thinks that,
unless bad weather comes earlier
than usual and labor is scarce,
the road can be completed before
the first of the year.
The actual beginning of the
road should mark a new era in
road construction in the county.
One scientifically constructed
highway will be but the rorerun-
ner of others, and, if we may
judge from other counties, the
first pick streke on the new road
Monday was the beginning Of
Morgan county's real develop
ment.

Austria Hungary Squealing.

When General Pershing's army
of Americans hit the Hun line
and wiped out the St. Mehiel
salient in q hours in one of the
most spectacular offensiVes of the
war, ria-Hungary began to
squeal for peace. But the hand
of the kaiser is too plainly seen
In the peace overtures, and the
Allies will not be deceived. No
peace terms that do not
recognize the unconditional sur
render of the Central Powers and
the overthrowing of the Hohen-
zollern and Hapsburg dynasties.
No sane American wants peace
until Germany is destroyed and
all the world made democratic.
The people of Germany and Aus
tria must be made feel the weight
of the yoke Of their rulers so
heavily that they will throw it
off. No peace can be until Ger
many and her allies are crushed
and humbled. New rulers and
a new kind of government must
be ordered in those countries.
This war is for the purpose of
wiping autocracy from the face
of the earth, and no treaty will
ever be made with the present
rulers of the Central Powers.
1t is treason to talk of a peace
now. There can be no peace un-
til the last autocratic govern
ment is overthrown, until there
is established a democratic form
of government for all peoples.
Let Aurtria squeal. When the
] Hohenzollern swine, the Turks
and Bulgars, add their squeals to
the chorous, and the swinish
quartette makes a noise like un-
conditional surrender. it will be
time to think of peace. That
time is not yet.

AMERICAN TRACTOR IN
GERMANY CAVE BRITISH
FIRST IDEA FOR TANK

Washington. Dec. 5.-The use OF
tanks in warfare resulted from ideas
gained by a British official while
watching the demonstration of an
American farm tractor in a German
city in 1918. This official account
of the origin of the tanks is given
by Col. |. c. Welborn, director of
the tank corps of the United States
army in his annual report made
public today The report contains
no information as to the American
tank program as it was prepared be-
fore the cessation of hostilities
For several years prior to the
world war" says the report, the
authorities OF the British army had
been endeavoring to create some
machine highly destructive in its
fighting capacity and at the same
time aifording maximum protection
to human life. The Holt Manufact-
uring Co., maker OF the Holt farm
tractor, was giving tractor dem
onstration in one Of the large Ger
man cities about 1913.
"A representative OF the British
government who happened to see
the exhibit conceived the idea that
the caterpillar tractor principle
might be employed in propelling a
huge steel fighting machine which
would enable a moving fort to nego-
tiate the steepest hills and move
over difficult ground impossible OF
passage by any other vehicle. This
officer Immediately brought the
tractor to the attention OF Gen. L.
y. Swinton of the British army, who
also realized the effective use to
which the caterpillar tractor could
be put.
Extensive experiments were be
gun under General Swinton, and in
1916, the first tanks ever
in warfare were launched
on the British front in France
