Don't Miss Seeing CONSTANCE TALMADGE The STUDIO
HEAVY MOTOR TRUCKING
DESTROYS The HIGHWAYS

Chief Engineer A. r. Hirst of the
State Highway Commission, has is
sued what might be called a warnine
as to the effect heavy motor truckins
will have on the country roads. H
finds that nothing less durable thar
concrete or brick paving on countr,
roads will stand the strain of thi.
heavy work. 1t has been found tina
such work is seven times as destruct
i've as pleasure cars, and that vel
made roads are quickly destroyed b.
it.
AS the trucking business is rapidly
growing the danger to the roads is
quickly seen. This means that g
large increase in the cost of building
and maintaining roads must follow il
the state is to have a perfected sys-
tenn Of good roads such as are needed
for proper development.
In this contingency it would seem
the part Of wisdom for the communi-
ties having interurban facilities to en-
courage the freight haulage move
ment on such roads. Not only do they
provide al excellent system of com
munication and transportation, where
speed and costs both favor the peo-
pie, but the work is done on the steel
roadways, the tracks built by the in
terurban companies and maintained
by them Not one cent of the upkeep
of these tracks comes out of the state
nt A.
property owners. In the cities the
property owners pay directly for the
road building and through their taxes
for the maintenance, while in the
country there is tax assessment for
road work, both construction and
maintenance
These steel highways are built for
the greater part on private rights of
way in the country, and where they
run on the highways in city or coun-
try they run on the tracks built out of
the company's funds. They do not in
any way wear the pavement or road
way built by the taxpayers. Their up-
keep and the interest on the invest
ment are paid through the rates for
carrying the passengers and freight
which is less than the cost of hauling
with motor trucks
1t would therefore seem to be the
part of financial wisdom for the tax
payers, who must pay for the public
roads and their maintenance, to urge
a larger use of the interurbans for
freight haulage. 1t would mean a saw
ing of money for the taxpayers with
out increasing the cost of the freight
movement to those who have freight
to haul

ALLIES UPSET FOES PLANS
War Department Says Kaiser Wastes
Men to Make Small Gains.

Washington, April S.-French and
British tenacity has upset the ambi-
tiOus plans of the German high com
mand for the battle of Picardy, says
the war departments weekly military
review, and now the enemy, deter
mined to gain some sort of success
at any cost, is throwing fresh forces
into the battle in an effort to secure
limited detectives.
Because of this, the situation is ex-
pected to remain uncertain for some
time to come.
General Improvement in the strate-
gic position of the allies is noted and
the review declares that under Gen
eral Foch the allied military machine
is working smoothly and efficiently in
stemming the German assault.
There is no mention whatever of the
American troops reported hurrying TO
the front to join the British and
French.
''At the opening of the third week
of the German offensive we find that
the enemy is still far short of attain
ing his principal detectives" says the
review.

Prince Chlodwig, a Hohenlohe Ba-
varian of great influence in Germany
discusses the Fourteen Points of
Peace put forth by President Wilson
like a statesman and not like a Prus-
sian mailman. Here is an extract from
recent utterance of his which should
be freely read:
1.-THE Germans must free themselves
from the fixed ideas that in this war
America thinks only of her national
interests and that the President de-
clared war so that, taking advantage
of the occasion, he might build up a
great army with reference to a future
war with Japan. The truth is that
President Wilson, when he declared
war on Germany, acted under the
pressure of the vast majority Of his
people, and that every American who
goes to war as well as every one who
accompanies the soldiers to the ships
which are to take them to Europe is
firmly convinced that they are setting
forth for the salvation of the imperiled
freedom and justice of the world"

Battle AGAINST Dry Rot.

Dry rot is a wood disease that is
giving serious trouble in some locali-
ties and engineers are prescribing pre-
ventive and curative remedies. It is
especially urged that every trace of
the infection be removed from timber
for buildings. The infected spots are
to be oiled to retain the spores and
are then to be completely removed
and burned. The diseased wood is to
be kept from contact with other build
Ing material, while saws used in cut
ting it are to be afterward sterilized.
