WAR IN BRIEF
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

Although the conference between representatives of the Bolshevikl government and the central powers was due to reconvene Friday, no news has come through indicating whether the meeting took place Neither has there been any advices IS to whether the difficulties in the way of reaching an agreement have beer. surmounted or if concessions by either side making possible fur ther negotiations, are intended.
 Dissatisfaction with the proposals of the central powers apparently does not obtain solely on the side of the BOlsheviki government, but exists among the delegates of the central powers as well. Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey are asserted to have disagreed, the domineering attitude of the Germans at the Brest- Litovsk conference, where they posed as conquerors. while their all lied delegates evinced an eager de- sire for peace and a disposition to compromise.
 The attitude of the German social ists against the demands of tho central powers, especially those pro viding for the retention of Poland
 
 cupicd territory, has forced the inn perial chancellor to refer to. the situation before the main commit tee of the reichstag. The chaucel- lors statement however, was merely a platitude and gave no inkling as to what Germany's future inten- tions in the premises were, and ] even left to the under secretary for foreign affairs the task of out lining in the most perfunctory style the trend of the negotiations up | to the time that the recess was taken at Brest- -Litovsk.
 We can cheerfully await the fur ther course of this incident. We rely | upon our strong position our loyal | intentions and our just rights was virtually all the chancellor had to say concerning Russia's reflection of 1 the peace proposals.
 | On the battle. fronts the compara tive calm of the last few days con- tinues, although the Germans in the Cambrai sector, in local attacks, have pushed back four British advanced posts for short distances. The ar tillery duels along the western from in Belgium and France and also in Italy still are going on, but the lnIantry Is virtually idle, except for patrol engagements.
 Again there has been considerable fighting in the air on the western front. The German war office as- serts that the German aviators dur ing the week have accounted for twenty-three allied airplanes ant two captive balloons. French ayi. ators have brought down eight Ger man machines also carried out bomb. ing operations behind the enem, line.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-The victory bun' which is made without sugar, requires but a small percentage of vegetable oil and which can be sold by bakers at profit of one cent each, is the latest medium for conserving food to receive the consideration of the federal food commissioner for California.
 The inventor of the ''victory bun" is William E. Doty, a baker Of Miami, Ariz., who conducted his victory bun'' experiments under the auspices of the Raisin Growers association of this state.
 The victory bun,' according to the formula submitted by Doty to the food commissioners office is as follows:
 Two pounds of water, one ounce of salt, two pounds of wheat flour 12 ounces of rye flour, four ounces of rice flour, two and one-half ounces of yeast, one and one-half pounds of seeded raisins, one ounce of vegetable oil and one half teaspoon of cinnamon. This recipe, according to Doty, will make sixty buns, the natural sugar of the raisins furnishing the desired l eufeafpess

ton is said to be a delicate one be- cause the officers involved may have proved unsatisfactory only for a very special and limited class of duties. In such cases officials feel that it. is hardly fair to announce that they have been removed for inefficiency, as it might serve to blight their careers.
 It is indicated, however, that where there Is direct evidence of culpability there will be no hesitation in publish ing names and such circumstances as military considerations will permit
 There is no case before either de- partment that warrants such action, it is said, so far as officers of any i'm portant rank are concerned.

DIRT ROADS ARE PREFERRED
Much Of the Wear and Tear on Hard
Road Can Be Avoided by Making
Dirt Track on Each Side.

: Dirt roads are the cheapest-and
for large part of the year the best
highways that can be built. Because
we want to use our roads every day in
the year we are willing to go to the
expense of hard road building, but
that Is no reason for dlscarding the
dirt roads entirely.
More than half the wear on the hard
road can be avoided by making good
dirt track on each side. People will
use the dirt road from preference
when 1t is passable. The life OF the
hard road will be greatly heightened,
the cost Of repairs reduced, and the
needs Of the road users better served
by building this combination OF hard
and dirt roads.

The maintenance usually runs up
to considerable annual cost, and 1t
is this maintenance that usually Is
neglected by county commissioners
and road supervisors.
As good an illustration Of road
maintenance as I have been able to
find Is that practiced by New Hamp-
shire. New Hampshire's roads are
mainly graveled roads. Most Of
them are rightly constructed, the
gravel being wet and rolled as 1t is
placed upon the road, but in many
places this Is impossible on account
of the expense and in these places the
gravel is simply spread upon the road
and left for the traffic to compact.
Many Of these roads have to bear
n fairly heavy traffic, especially dur
ing the summer months, most of
which Is automobile traffic, and the
roads would soon be ruined were 1t
not for the maintenance feature of
New Hampshire's road system. This
road maintenance is carried on by
several hundred patrolmen. They are
hired from the last of March until
the first of December, and their
work consists In patching every lit
tie rut and hole that appears. clean.
ing the bitches and culverts and in
keeping the roads smooth.
Each patrolman has section Of
road assigned him. He is required to
furnish one-horse wagon, shovel,
a rake and a light road drag, The
road is smoothed by this drag after
every rain. and If chuck holes start,
fresh material is placed in them
tamped down and left for the traffic
to compact.
These patrolmen are paid an aver,
age of $325 day and the total cost
of maintenance runs about $240 pei
mile per year. The total first cost
of construction of these roads runs
about $4,000 a mile.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is 80 com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from report from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
Its remarkable record Of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give II a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation rend ten cents to DR.,
Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

There are two elements that should
be figured in the cost Of road con-
struction. First, the cost Of construc-
ton. Second, the cost of maintenance.
1t is the yearly average of these two
that should always be considered

It is, that roads may be constructed
