DO 1T RIGHT.

From the Snow Hill People.
The time has come when unscientifio
patching Of country roads ought to
cease. The farmer needs a good road a
great deal more than the pleasure drlv-
ing Automobiles To the latter a
bad road means simply a little discom-
fort To the farmer it means many
hours OF time wasted while he draws
his loads thru the sloughs Of mud. It
means that he must keep more horses
and that his beasts Of burden will wear
out quicker. Let every farmer insist
that the road officials OF his neighbor-
hood do modern, scientific work.

 re, Som4%of these spies have been taken red-handed. What has been done with them? Not one has been executed. The worst that has been adJudged to any one of them has been imprisonment, and most of them have simply been interned in a camp, und CT very pleasant circumstances, until the end of war. Such punishment" as that they do not dread at all. After the war they will come out. and will be in position to enjoy their re- wards from the. German government, for the rest of their lives.
 If upon some of these people the legitimate penalty of their crime were promptly visited, there would be few -er-betrayals of our soldiers, fewer ex- plosiCns of munitions plants, fewer fires destroying establishments which are supplying the material of war.

The meeting will begin promptly at 8 o'clock. Rev. c. N. Dodge, pastor of the East Berlin Methodist church, will preside. Those who attend will learn many new things Of interest re- Ngarding the war, and it is also safe to say that they will learn things that they never realized before.
 The speakers will be Prof. Edgar Brlghtman, of Wesleyan university and Dr. Kate c. Mead, of Middletown. There are a. large number of Berlin people planning to attend. Col c. M. Jarvis has donated the use of his two sleighs, and Arthur Webster has also given a sleigh.

Great Britain is no longer the only nation that can say that the sun never sets on it's territory. Since the United States acquired the Danish West In dies it can make the same boast.
 Hitherto the little island of Culebra, which is virtually a part of Porto Rico. has been our most easterly point of land, and the island of Balabac, in tho Philippines, our most westerly point The distance between them is just a little less than 180 degrees or half the circumference of the earth.

fortable. They remain in camp. They are not seen in the city in large groups. They are quiet in their de- meanor and make a speciality of at tending to their own business. This community is pleased with these samples of the common negro of the South.
 Recently, Former President Taft ad- dressed three thousand or more of these colored men in the Y. M. c. A. auditorium at Camp Dodge. They were attentive and enthusiastic. The men strong voices of strong men. Men spoke with sympathetic interest. After the speech a competent leader led these three thousand men in song Still the good behavior continued and the interest was not tagging. The vocal instructor was energetic and con- potent. He sang his men in groups, first on the left and then on the right and then in the center. Then all to. gether.
 The great building rang with the sitting on the platform and looking on the faces of three thousand black men could not avoid adnliring them because of their honest sincerity and their strict attention. After they had sung a while. the ex-president asked the leader IT they WOuldn' t sing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot a favor ite plantation melody, now amounting to classic. The leader instructed them a little, led them in groups, then led them all together in moderate voice, then asked them all to rise and let their voices out without stint How the echoes did roll in the valley of the Beayert The ex-pTesident said privately that he never had been moro impressed by the scenes and circun- stances. Those who have always loved Swing Low, Sweet Chariot loved it more than ever and every manly man realized that these black men were anxious to learn and anxious to be soldiers.
 That they will fight brave1y in France, the record of the negro race Is ample evidence. These black men will be greater after their military ex- perience. They can take care of themselves They will have learned system and order. They will have learned obedience to command. These black men will be better citizens on account Of their military experience. The United States could not have done a better thing than to call these cOlored men to the defense of the flag.

AND DISHONORABLE
Gentlemen and Brave Soldiers Essay the Roles of Spies in War Times,
 As Well As Others
(Boston Transcript. )

1 Two kinds of spies are found in ] war, and there is a wide gulf of diff ! ference between them. One kind of ! spy was represented in the revolu- tionary days by Major Andre on the British side and by Captain Nathan Hale on the American side. Both of 1 these men were gentlemen and brave soldiers. For a military purpose, un- der superior orders, they risked their 1 lives within the enemy's lines It takes a brave and intelligent man to per- form this sort of spying, and the work is accounted an honorable service in all countries. Though it is necessary to put such military spies to death if they are taken, they are awarded a soldiers death. They are shot,~-~not
 hung, and often they-~~receive the
 honors of war in their burial
 The other sort of spy is not so
 noble. He. takes no chances in ain
 enemy's camp. He lives as a civilian
 in peaceful community and pretends to be a loyal citizen. Not infrequent-
 ly he is a citizen or subject of the
 country he betrays. It is very easy for him to pretend loyalty. But he sneaks about, obtaining and forward ing information, destroying property, poisoning public sentiment, setting fires and working incalculabIe injury. If such a person is detected in his treason, what is the. legitimate pen atty that he pays? He does not die a soldiers death and receive the
 honors of war. He is hanged like a
 murderer, or should be hanged.
 We have had a large contingent of such spies operating in this country since we went to war with Germanv
