CBy Associated PresA1

Washington, Oct. 26.-President
Wilson's statement addressed to his

return a Democratic congress in the
November elections electrified Re-
publicans at the capital who issued
a formal reply in the name Of the
party leaders In the senate and
house and the chairmen of the SEN

sional campaign committees.
The Republican statement, de-
cIaring the minority party in con-
gress had supported the administra-
tion policies since the war with an
unanimity and an absence OF criti-
cism unprecedented in party history,
pointed to the record as proof.

gress nor OF a party but OF the
American people and declares the
Republican party, representing more
than half the citizenship of the
country demands its rightful share

it imposes"

a German internal question, declare
Karl Hauss, the new governor Of
Alsace- Lorraine, in a statement pub
lished in the Strassburg Gazette. The

peace conference could have nothing
to do. 1t concludes by saying that a
new era is opening for AIsace -Lor-
raine which viii enable the two prov

The semi-annual meeting of the
State Road Department was held
i'll Tallahassee last week. A re-
port of the meeting sent to the
Tampa Tribune contains the fol
lowing:
Thirty thousand dollars Of Fed
eral aid money was apportioned to
DeSoto county, this amount to be
matched by an equal amount,
raised by bonding one of the dis
tricts of that county to build a
road to the large aviation camp
near Arcadia. This is the first
money apportioned in that section
of the state. However, the money
was not appropriated solely be-
cause this road led to the aviation
camp, as it will form part of
state road No 2. In apportioning
this money to DeSoto county the
department adopted the following
resolution designating the route of
continuation of this road. The
resolution was as follows;
Resolved, that state road No 2
be extended from Haines City
through. Winter Haven, Florence
Villa, Barlow, Bowling Green,
Wauchula, Arcadia and Bermont,
to Fort Myers by Olga bridge.
State road No. 2 begins at the
Georgia state line and goes
through Jasper, Lake City,
Gainesville, Ocala, Tavares, Or
lando and Kissimmee. f"
State roads can be built with
Federal and state aid or county
money and state aid roads can be
built in the same way, but must be
designated as state aid roads by
the department. After a county
has put its part of state road in
proper condition to be accepted
by the road department, there is
no further expenditure necessary
for that road as it is maintained
by the road department.

Marines Learning French

Portland, Ore, April 22.-The
American language has become a
dead" tongue among officers and
attaches of the United States Ma
rine recruiting station here.
French has taken its place and
nowadays instead of hearing the
good old Yankee Doodle lingo,
"Parlez Vous Francois" and
"Oui, Oui, Monsieur" fill the air.
So anxious are the local re,
cruiters to get lover there" that
they have taken up the study of
the French language and to learn
it as thoroughly as possible, they
have adopted the novel plan of
cOnversing in French.
