They must be placed in pastboard

shrouds, or be bound in paper sheets.
No wooden, cotton, linen or similar

wooden, zinc, copper and other metal
caskets are generally forbidden.
An American woman, just leaving
Germany, declares all ordinary articles
are so scarce that a sale of her worn

A German woman packing in her
home sought an opportunity to buy
things families usually throw away in
moving. They fetched fancy sums.
The woman says the coal shortage is
far more acute than outsiders imagine
This is not due to lack of coal, but
to the labor shortage plus transportation
difficulties. The scarcity of cars caus-

trains to little more than sufficient for
the armies needs The rolling stock is
in frightful disrepair.

PRESIDENT IN CHARGE
DIPLOMATIC ATTACK
ON CENTRAL POWERS
Statesmen Of European Allies
In No Frame Of Mind
to Negotiate
By J. W. T. Mason
lWritten for the United Pressl

w LIbLCn IOI bu6 OHlbCu IGbS
New York, Feb. 14.-Leadership in
the diplomatic offensive against the
central powers is passing into the con.
troll Of President Wilson.
The statesmen now in control in the
allied countries have gone through an
intense mental strain during the past
three and half years and have be-
come so deeply embittered by the war
that their abilities as diplomatic ne
gotiators have naturally become impair
ed. President Wilson, on the bther
hand, brings to the struggle a mind
fresh for new impressions and not
wearied by the unprecedentedly grave
responsibilities that have lately begun
to wear down mentally the best men
in Europe.
This is the real reason for any ap-
parent differences in the present atti-
tude of Mr.. Wilson and the entente
governments. There is no difference in
the resolve to defeat German militar-
ism, but Mr. Wilson s response to
peace influences within the centrhl
powers is more spontaneous than that
of the allied premiers because his
brain is by far the freshest.
This fact must be recognized by all
the nations at war.
1t is certain to have a profound eff
feet upon the final settlement of the
conflict. When Lord Northcliffe re-
Gently returned to England from the
United States, he warned the entente
that unless greater activity and eff

own hands. Viscount Northcliffe pro-
phecy is now on its way to being full
filled.
The allies have suffered grievously
in the past because of diplomatic
blunders. The policy of inactivity and
wait and see' is no longer permitted
to exist. It is open to anybody with
no training in statecraft, to refuse to
admit Austria Hungary offers an open
ing to the allies for a successful peace
An active diplomat, how
ever, will go ahead and take chance
on the possibility that results might
be attainable. This is the kind Of dip

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
PLANS TO Spend EIGHT.
MILLIONS ON ROADS
Program As Now Outlined Is
Announced Today by High
way Engineer Nunn

The state highway program, now out
lined, calls for an expenditure of ST..
$50, ,150, according to the yearly report
of Herbert Num-, state highway engin-
eer, for the fiscal year ending November
80, 1917. The report was completed to-
day for submission to the state highway

Up to date the highway department
has expended 695,613.24, of which
$541, ,974.33 was for construction work
and $143, 3,638.91 was for engineering.
The report calls attention to the large
amount of investigation which has been
demanded by state, county and federal
post aid work.
"Such investigations demand a recon
naissance, preliminary and, oftentimes
final survey in order to determine the
route to be taken, and in some cases
where we have been refused federal CO.
operation, the surveys will be finally
lost and the money expended on them
will have to come out of the general
engineering funds" says the report.
Attention is called to the fact that 32
jobs are actually under construction,
amounting to total Of $2,367 300, and
to the fact that the engineering cost on
this work to date has been 1.53 per cent
on the estimated cost

GERMANY BURIES DEAD

ence, am told that openly opposed
to the extremes to which the war party
is leading the empire, he does not mur
mur as Hindenburg and Ludendorff are
his absolute masters.
An American girl, recently arrived
from Germany, says many children and
even grown ups are now going barefoot
ed. They are unable to buy shoes. A
proud professor of the University OF
Leipzig asked as a favor to be allowed
to buy the discarded shoes of the girl Is
brother.
A crime wave is sweeping the coun-
try from end to end. Thugs often rob
pedestrians of their clothes. The child
rem of one of the girl s friends were
robbed of their clothes while on their
way home from school. The weather was
bitterly cold and the children arrived
with their feet almost frozen and bleed
ing.
The girl says the newspapers are most
active in sneering at America. Every eff
fort is made to diminish before the
masses the United States participation.
They are constantly repeating that the
American effort is all bluff and noise
worthy of the country which produced
Barnum.
The girl had the utmost difficulty in
leaving Germany. She was on the verge
of receiving a degree at the University
of Leipzig when America entered the
war. The degree was withheld because
Americans were refused permission to
leave the country.
After time she was told she could
leave if she would do certain work for
Germany-and would receive the degree
and "big pay"
She Indignantly refused to become a
traitor and spy. Whereupon the police
dogged her day and night until she fin
ally succeeded in getting out.
Travellers agree that ninety percent
of the German people have lost their en-
thusiasm for war. The sole topic of con-
is food and peace.
Intelligent people are asking "what
is the good of launching another often
siveg" Many of them know America,
because they lived and worked there.
These say the United States will eontin-
ue the crusade hundred years if neces-
sary to rob Germany of her spoils.
Everything points in the same direc-
tion-the central empires are economic
ally and generally in such a turmoil that
all the allies need to do to win the war
is to keep equitable war aims before
the world and hold their own on the
west front.
