Pressing Need of
Better Highways

1F7HERE has been no lack of good
u roads discussion during the
past six months and it is hoped that
practical results will follow Meetings
of good roads advocates have been
held in Birmingham and many other
southern cities since the first of the
year and very important confer
ence called by the Alabama Good
Roads association will be held in Mo-
bile in May Another conference I'M
der the same auspices will be held
in Birmingham in June.
All these meetings are worth while.
In fact they are essential to the de-
velopment of public sentiment that
will translate itself sooner or later
into something concrete. In times past
ssagitation" often ended in talk, but
the demand for a better class of high
ways than had usually been consid-
cred in the early days of the good
roads movement is required now, if
the motor truck is to play its part in
the transportation question
Truck traffic would relieve rail-
road congestion. 1t would be worth
millions to shippers and consumers
alike. Every highway should be a
military road and the United States
government could well afford to aid
in building such roads.
Few things would be more popular
in Alabama than drive for motor
truck highway. Such thoroughfares
are not only greatly needed today
but they will be as much needed after
the war. 1t is only question of time
when all the "short hauls" will be by
trucks instead of by steam trains.

Liberty Day Must
Bear Large Fruit

| r F the Third Liberty Loan has not
y been absorbed as rapidly as
might have been expected, today
Liberty Day-should mark high
record achievement. Three billion
dollars is the amount sought and up
to last night the treasury department
had reports indicating a total of not
quite two billion dollars in pledges.
Teday's work should loom large on the
patriotic horizon. 1t is safe to assume
that subscriptions to the Liberty
Loan will bring the total tonight
somewhere near the goal.
Secretary McAdoo has cautioned
Liberty Loan state and county cam
paign committees against overconfi-
dence. With so many cities like Bir-
mingham cover the top" scores of
backward communities deficient
in patriotism but somewhat short on
rganization-felt as if they need not
attempt any strenuous drive. Three
billion dollars is vast sum to raise
and the whole country must be on it's
mettle. Today there must be spon-
taneous response to the governments
appeal everywhere. In the cities and
large towns team workers must do
their best. 1t must be long pull, a
strong pull and a pull all together.
Germany would be comforted if the
Third Liberty Loan were to fall short,
but there will be no danger of any
such humiliation for the United
States.
The government has until the
fourth of May to round out the three
billion-dollar subscription to the Third
Liberty Loan and if the mark is not
crossed this week it will not require
many days to complete the work.
Let all remember that this is
Liberty Day and act accordingly.

Hun Methods Exposed
In Won Papen Letters

0T0HE fact that Germany was plot
Is ting war long before hostilities
began has been proved conclusively,
but publication by the British govern
ment of papers taken from the motor
ious Captain Won Papen throw addi-
tional light on the double-dealing of
the German government, which has
commended, through it's leading spokes-
men, that it was forced into war by
the Russian mobilization.
In the "white book" containing Won
Papen's letters, is communication
/ from r. Won Wild, of the German
war ministry in Berlin, seeking in
formation as to means for blowing
Iup trains, sin the event of an Eu-
ropean war" This letter was dated
March IL, 1914, which was about five
months before the war started. The
German government was evidently in
terested in methods used by revolu-
tionaries in Mexico to blow up trains.
Won Papen, who was at that time in
Mexico, spreading German propa-
ganda, did not think the work of the
Mexicans worthy of consideration.
Another letter was received by
Won Papen from the manager of the
Potsdam branch of German bank,
written July 25, 1914, in which this
sentence appears: eve have never
before seen such preparations for war
as are being made at present" At that
time negotiations were still going on
to prevent bloodshed.
The fatuous DR.. Dumba wrote,
September /, 1915: Everything has
ended happily in Washington and the
people already think they hear the
bells of peace ringing. We have not
got that length yet, but it just shows
what a good effect is produced by
good words and light hand"
In this manner that precious pair
of rascals, DR.. Dumba and Captain
Won Papen, abused our hospitality
before the long suffering American
government finally kicked them out.

SPRING IN THE SOUTHLAND

SPRING IN THE SOUTHLAND
BY Samuel Minturn Peck.
From thicket in the corner of zigzag
fence,
Where the succulent pokeberry stalks
uprear,
With sassafras and sumac in a wild
growth dense,
The blackberry blossoms through the
brown rails peer;
With dewdrops shining on their long
white sprays,
Where the yellow bee buzzes and. the
red bird flies,
They marvel at the world and its new
With innocent wonder in their wild.
Magnolias are white,
And roses are bright.
And many there be that love them.
But with dewsprinkled faces.
And wild WOOD graces,
Oh, the blackberry blooms are above
them.
Where the pine boughs are swinging, in
the soft May breeze,
And humble bees are boasting cf their
spring tide gain,
And the mocking bird is singing out his
happiest glees,
To the cotton-tailed rabbit in the bend
of the lane;
They lean their faces on the moss-grown
rails, ~
And listen to the melody the hooking
bird weaves;
While the lizards so a-darting with their
trembling tails,
Like slim long shutters through the last
years leaves.
Chrysanthemums are fair,
And orchids are rare,
And many there be. that love them,
But with dewsprinkled faces.
And wild wood graces,
Oh, the blackberry blooms are above
them.
