ROAD BUILDING POLICY

Washington, d. c., January 26-Sec-
rotary Houston of the Department of
Agriculture, in a communication to
the American Association of State
Highway Officials, has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
struction during the war. Secretary
Houston says:
80 far as it is practicable to do
so, this department urge the mainten-
ance of the highways already con-
structed the construction and COM
pletion of those highways which are
vitality important because of their
bearing upon the war situation or for
the movement of commodities; the
postponement of all highway contruc-
ton relatively less essential or not
based upon important military or eco
nomic needs. The department is pre-
pairing to suggest to the State high
way departments, the preparation of
a schedule of work for the Federal
aid projects for 1918 in line with this
policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the Office Of Public Roads, of the
Department Of Agriculture, schedule
formes on which the States are re-
quested to set forth their proposed
Federal aid work for the 1918 work.

THE SOONER THE BETTER.

Dr. AlonZo Taylor, OF the federal food
administration, recently said that our
consumption of wheat is nearly nor
NAL in spite of the saving effected by
great numbers of our people. The
same thing has been true in England
where 20 per cent. of Britains popu-
lation-the upper twenty-saved 29
per cent of wheat, while the total
consumption increased 5 per cent. The
reason is that the workers naturally
eat the most nutritive food they can
get at the cheapest price, and wheat
products fall in that class.
It's up to the folks who can afford
to buy fresh vegetables and fruits and
cereals other than wheat to cut down
their wheat ration to good deal less
than the allotted amount per person.
There are masses of people who have
to eat the wheat or suffer from lack of
proper nourishment It is the others
who must do the conserving.
Summer is coming on with its veg
etable gardens and fresh fruits. There
will be greater opportunity to save
wheat by eating other foods. And
whether that were true or not, we've
go to do it. AS DR.. Taylor expressed
it: "The sooner we get into our saw
ing stride the better"

A GIFT WORTH HAVING.

A Wall street banker who is some
thing of a book collector sent in a
volume for the soldiers library. 1t
happened to be first edition of Whit
tiers poemn, rare book of great
value. The board asked the donor if
they might sell the book at its market
value, and use the money to buy 9TH
ers less expensive which the army lads
would probably like just as well.
please don't" replied the banker
I'll give you check to buy all the
ether books you want. I won't miss
the money. But I'm giving this book
because it is a sacrifice, and | want
il to go directly into the hands of the
boys in France, because I think may
be one of them will prize it as I do"
There is a story the public has need
ed to hear Too many books are given
not because they're worth anything,
not because they're expected to inter-
est the soldiers, but because the own
ers are tired of seeing the maround.
It should hardly be necessary to re-
peat that the way to give books to
soldiers-or to anybody else, for that
matter-is to give books that the
giver himself likes and values.
This is the soundest principle of all
philanthropy. And it should be ap-
piled to every phase of the war. We
have got to give many things. What
we are fighting for, what we expect
from the war, is so great and precious
that no trivial or casual sacrifices
will buy it. We have got to give what
we value most We have got to give
till it hurts, and then keep on Civ
ing The hurt itself is part of the
price we pay.
And would you ever have expected
to learn that from Wall street?

TELLING THEM THE TRUTH.

Our old German propaganda friend
DR.. Bernhard, isn't such bad fellow
after all. In America we found him
a rather Objectionable character, but
in darkest Germany he looks like an
angel of light. He has been emitting
truth and sense.
Speaking in Frankfort lately, DR.
Dernburg attacked the strong Father
land party, which controls Germany
today.
ct is against the foe within as
the foe without that we must
fight" he said. THE whole power
Fatherland party is in the hands
of reactionary despots, men who
uphold despotic government, I'M
equal suffrage and class privilege.
This party has developed into
powerful weapon against prog
ress, with the press of the land
owners (Junkers) and the great
interests as its organ. Witness
the saying of the notorious Herr
Won Oldenburg-J anushau: IF we
get equal suffrage in Prussia, then
we have lost the war We de-
mand more liberty"
He urges peace without aggrandize-
ment or indemnity, for Germany's OWL
good.
"You can take away territory
from a state" he told his hear
ers, "but you can't compel it to
exchange goods with you. A die
tated peace according to the Faith
erland model would make the En-
tente Alliance permanent Then
the whole world would stand in
arms against us, and we should
have to meet the expense Of ever
increasing ornaments involving
annually some 12,000,000,000
marks. Even now our air service
is costing US more than our entire
army did in peace time. A war
indemnity is not to be thought of"
He would give up the conquere,
strip of France, iron ore and all. 9Th,
value of the ore that lies in the prov
inces Of Briey and Bongwy has beel
estimated by experts" he says, "an
it amounts to as much as we spent
in % days of war" Surely nothing t.

onies, all she ever got out of them in
a year would only pay Germany's war
expenditure for one day from eight in
the morning till six at night.
Not a word of morality, honesty and
decency toward the outside world, you
observe His morals are merely util-
itarian. He wants Germany to stop
fighting and behave herself to prevent
her own destruction. But it's some
thing to tell Germans even such ma
terial truths as those. They can grasp
them, when they couldn't grasp ideas
OF abstract honor.
He's doing what we'd do if we had
a chance.

Says a recent dispatch from WASH
ington:
'At the State and War Departments
it was stated an amazing thing is the
humber of young girls seeking pass

winning the war.

vent civilians from making nuisances

This country is crying for young
women workers. Every young girl
employed in an Office or factory re-
leases a man or mature woman for
duties closer to the war.
Especially are girls needed in hos
pitfalls And exception is made of
nurses needed abroad. Nurses, be-
cause of their so1dierly training and
duties and organization, are in a diff
ferent class in the matter of self-con-
troll and other matters.
