kinds of roads. The wagon was
standard farm wagon with steel axles
of equal length, wheels SS and 40
inches In diameter, and four-inch tires.
A recording dynamometer, known as
the Iowa type, was used to register
the tractive force of the team. This
instrument makes a record Of the re-
sistance on a strip of paper under a
recording pencil, and after the test,
the total pull of the team can be read
off In pounds. The record Of the test
Is as follows:
On q concrete road, unsurfaced, In
excellent condition, the total pull on
the load was SO pounds, or 27.6 pounds
per ton.
On concrete road with three-eighth
inch surface of asphaltlc oil and
screenings, road In excellent condition,
the total pull was 1919 pounds or 49.2
pounds per ton.
On the ordinary macadan road In
excellent condition, the total pull was
1893 pounds or CAB pounds per ton.
For graveled road, compact, and
in good condition, the total pull was
225 pounds or rs pounds per ton.
An earth road, firm, with one and
one-half inches of fine, loose dust, the
total pull was 276 pounds or 90 pounds
per ton.
An earth road, with mud to 6
inches deep, but soil firm underneath,
the total pull was 654 pounds or 21s
pounds per ton.
On graveled road, before the gravel
had been compacted,- but when 1t was
in ordinary loose condition after 1t had
been placed upon the road, the total
pull was 7s9 pounds or 263 pounds per
ton.
The above shows very well what
great advantages good roads have on
the hauling properties Of team.

BETHMANN WRITES
APOLOGY FOR WAR

LONDON, Dec. but above all
we must confess that by the de-
ficiencieS OF our national character
and by the sins of our general be-
havior we have contributed to the
warlike tension which has nlled the
air for the last few years." writes
former Chancellor Won Bethmann
HoIlweg, of Germany, in an apology
for his part in Germany's war guilt
The apology was printed in the
semi-official North German Gazette.
The ex-chancellor makes several
attempts at argument to justify his
actions and he Is taken seriously
to task zfor these by the Berliner
TagebIstt- Thes,Apology continues:
Words which might be taken as
provocstion were repeatedly uttered
The pan-German activities at home
and abroad has done US the greatest
harm, but above all our naval policy
brought US the most fatal opposi-
ton"
The answer TO Won Bethmann- HoIl-
weg's general apology may tbe left
to the Tageblatt which says:
"Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg men
toned neither the German-British ne
gotiations which were under way in
July, 1914, nor Sir Edward Grey's
very reasonable and acceptable pro-
posal for mediation. Why did the
German government reject this pro-
posalZ The eX-chanceilor states him
self that the Austrian ultimatum Ito
Serbia) was too sharp, but in that
case what objection could the Ger
man government release against Sir
Edward Grey's proposal?
"If Won Bethmann-Hollweg felt
himself that wrong Was committed
against Belgium he had no right to
submit and IL he was not able to
carry his point, he ought to have re-
signed"
The explanation OF the Tagsblatt's
pointed questions is that given to
