(By private wire TO a. L. hasten & Coz
NEW YORK, April 30.-The an
nounced defeat of the German forces

favorable effect on our market when

ward completing and bringing the LIB
erty loan to a final success and over
subscription.

Improvement which. is going OF should
exert q sustaining Influence upon the

good profits subsequently,.

ALI Will Get Jobs

The thousands of civilian war
workers in the Government service
who will soon be dismissed because
their services are no longer needed
will be assisted in finding reemploy-
ment through plans now being ar
ranged by the United States Civil
Service Commission.
On the recommendation Of the Civil
Service Commission the President is
sued on November 20 an Executive
Order which provides that the names
of persons in the competitive CLASH
fed civil service with unrestricted
status who are appointed either
permanently or PROBATIONARY prior to
the date of the order, who have
served less than three years, who are
separated from the service because
of reduction of force, and who are
recommended for further employment
because of demonstrated efficiency in
the office from which they are separ-
ated will, upon request, be entered

BETTER HIGHWAYS
FOR STATE IS PLAN
State Highway Commission Would
Spend Large Sums to Improve
Roads

If the plans of the state highway
commission are carried out Morris
will be one of the most important
points in the state. The state road
program which will be presented to
the incoming legislature asking for
bond issue which will bring a large
sum of national funds into the state,
were outlined in the Minneapolis
Tribune a week ago. The plan con-
templates the touching of every
county seat town or city in the state.
This would mean that two trunk
line highways would run thru here.
One from the cities along the Great
Northern and the other from here
thru Little Falls.
The following is summary of the
Tribune story:
ga concrete plan for development
of Minnesota's highways was illus
trated by an outlined map. 1t will
be seen that each county seat and
each important town in the state is
connected by the system. Mime
apolis as a terminal, is reached from
every connected town in the state
by five trunk lines of highways en-
tering the city from each direction
of the compass.
commissioner Babcock will ask
the incoming legislature to submit
to a vote of the people in 1920 an
amendment to the Constitution of
the state permitting him to put his
dition he will ask the legislature to
! levy a higher license tax, possibly
| $25 per year, on automobiles and all
motor vehicles, for the use of high
way administration and development
this levy to be in lieu of all exist
ing taxes on motor vehicles.
Gin order that the state may pro-
coed at once on it's good roads work
and so that it may take advantage
of the 100000 of federal aid off
cred, the legislature will be asked to
authorize the issuance this winter of
good road bonds, probably to the ex-
tent of $1OO,O0O,O to be retired
at the end of 20 years.
"There is general sentiment
| throughout the state in favor of good
roads, so Commissioner Babcock says,
and Governor Burnquist, Lieut.. Gov.
Thomas Frankson and Representa-
tive w. I. Nolan, prospective speaker
of the house, have signifed their I'M
qualified approval of the project
"Details of Commissioner Bah
cocks plan and his arguments in be-
half of it were published exclusively
in The Tribune several years ago."

hold their advance from Chateau

of the world war.
The knights had 1000 workers in
the field and maintained so buildings
in France, eight in England and 200
in the United States during the per-
iod of Americas participation in the
war. An incident which shows how
the Knights carried their work right
I'D &c the battle lines is shown from
the fact that during the st. Mihiel
drive the K. Of G. workers, flying over
the lines in aeroplanes dropped thou
sands of supplies down to the sol
diers, and drove motor trucks loaded
with tobacco, cigarettes, candy, choc-
olate, chewing gum, ETC., directly up
to the first line troops. During July,
