SHALL WE SMOOTH THE KAiSER'S
PATH TO THE PACIFIC?

Is it the intention of Germany s
foes-or some of them, the short
sighted one-to force Japan, if they
can, into the arms of Germany? Not
that they can do it; but is it their in
tention to try to do it if they can? If
not, why this insulting suspicion of
Japan's motives, and why, above all,
this hesitancy to intervene in Siberia
for fear Japan might not play fair after
furnishing the majority of the troops
in the expedition?
In the general decentralization of old
Russia there is one spot that has large
ly escaped. 1t is Siberia, where there
is more of the old Russian spirit than
anywhere else. The Siberans are
holding out against anarchy and Ger
many and General Semenoff's army af-
ford nucleus for the establishment of
nation that shall be neither Romanoff,
Hohenzollern nor Bolshevist. But the
nucleus will not be there forever.
Time Is passing and we are SHINING
away our day of grace. Are we to
make up our minds at last to trust ia
pan and let her Join with US and Sem
enoff in redeeming Siberia and putting
a safety zone between German-ruled
Russia and Japan, and are we to make
up our minds only to find that, as usual,
we have made them up too late?

THE OLD NATIONAL ROAD
Washington Planned Such A
Highway to the West.

If George Washington had continued
his early career as surveyor and en-
gineer the development of the United
States might haye been even more
rapid than it turned out to be. The
picture OF the pioneer hewing his way
| through forest growth and underbrush,
fording streams. and working his way
across mountains is one of our tradi-
tons of early American history; but
the husky pioneer breaking his way
alone was not Washington's idea of
what travel should be in these United
| States.
Ruins of Washington's work as an
engineer may still be seen along the
banks of the middle Potomac; but his
greatest engineering plan never ma
teriallzed during his lifetime, though
several of his illustrious compatriots
gave their enthusiastic approcal to the
scheme.
This plan of Washington was for a
quicker. surer route toward the west to
supersede the blazed trail and footpath.
The government did not take any steps
toward the construction of so expensive
a bit of road building until three years
after Washington's death. For fifteen
years work on the road was under way.
first on paper, then with pick and
shovel, and finally the National road be-
tween Cumberland, Maryland, and
Wheeling, West Virginia, was ready
for service.
In the mind of the far-seeinp WASH
ington, the highway had reached to the
shores of the Mississippi-perhaps even
farther into the west. But the govern
ment turned to what it considered
affairs of more pressing Importance.
The National road passed into the hands
of the states directly concerned, and in
time became the Old National road. The
development of railroads and steamboat
made cross country highway route no
longer pressing necessity and the old
road was in danger of sinking to the
level of dusty country roadway.
Just IN time to save the Old National
road from this semi-tragic fate came
the automobilist demanding good roads
with attractive scenery ranging along
side and few spots of special interest
thrown in. To all these demands the
old road responded, and today it is in
high favor with the goggIed ones who
coast recklessly down its gentle slopes
and speed through its villages. --Knicker-

Walnut Timber For The Govern
ment.

Since the announcement was made a
few weeks ago, that the Government
needed large quantities of walnut for
the manufacture of aeroplane propellers
and gun stocks, hundreds of offers of
walnut timber have been received at
the State Forester's office, Baltimore.
and at the Office of the Forest Service.

The largest quantities of walnut are
in the middle West, and it is there that
nearly all of the walnut manufacturing
plants are located. 1t is evident how.
ever, from these offers from MARYLAND.
ranging anywhere from one tree, to a
hundred trees, that there are consider
able quantities of walnut in the State
and 1t is quite probable that local in
dustries can be established.
Only trees of sufficient size to make q
log, not less than ten feet long, and
twelve inches inside the bark at the
small end can be used. ANY one hay-
ing trees of suitable size-the larger
the better-that they are willing to sell,
should communicate with F. W. Beslev.
State Forester, Baltimore, Maryland,
who Is cooperating with the United
States Forest Service in securing local
supplies of walnut.
The Government does not buy the
timber, as this is done through agents,
who have Government contracts. The
State Forester is interested: first in
aiding the Government to secure avail
able timber. and second, in helping the
owners to secure fair price.
If desired, the State Forester will in
spect the standing trees, and estimate
their value, for the benefit of the own
ers, before it is offered for sale.
