WAR ROADS TO Be
ONLY ONES BUILT
GOVERNMENT REQUESTS STATE
TO IMPROVE ONLY THOSE
OF MILITARY VALUE.
MUNITIoN SHIPMENT PLANNED
ABSOLUTELY Necessary That Roads to
States Gateways On South Be
Kept In Good Repair.

Lansing-"War time" roads and no
others are to be built In Michigan this
year.
Commissioner of State Highways
Rogers has sent out letters to each
county commissioner asking for the
plans of the counties for the year. The
letter was sent at the suggestion OF
the government which has requested
that only war time" roads of military
or commercial value, be constructed.
1t means in Michigan that the roads
leading from the automobile manufac'
turing cities into Detroit, and from
those cities to the Lincoln highway
In Indiana will get most of the road
building this year.
The government plans big move
ments of munitions out Of this state
next summer by truck, and 1t is abso'
lutely necessary that the roads lead
ing to the gateways at the southern
edge of the state be kept in tip-toI
shape.
With governmental control Of rail
roads, the government can dictate
where the roads shall be built.

STATE RAIL SERVICE REDUCED
Passenger Trains Are Cancelled to
Make Room for Freight.

Detroit-Working in close coopera-
ton with the nationwide movement to
give right of way to freight, espe-
cially coal, railroads running through
Michigan are reducing their passenger
service on a number OF divisions. The
changes are being put into effect as
rapidly as perfected and new time
tables can be made up.
Detroit will be principally affected
on the roads to Toledo, where four
trains day are taken off. The Grand
Trunk has Cancelled its 1920 D. m.
train to Port Huron from Detroit and
its Sunday nihgt 7:05 train from Du-
rand to Detroit.
Numerous other changes throughout
the state are being worked out.
The Pere Marquette probably will
not be affected, as that road materially
cut its service December 10.

SINGLE MEN TO DO FIGHTING
crozier Proposes to Free Married
Men From Draft.

Washington. All men for the war
armies still to be raised by the United
States will come from class one under
the new selective service plan. That
means the nations fighting is to be
done by young men without families
dependent upon their labor for support
and unskilled in necessary industrial
or agricultural work.
Provost Marshal-General Crowder
announces the new policy in an ex-
hausive report upon the operation of
the selective draft law submitted to
Secretary Baker and sent to congress.
He says class one should provide
men for all military needs of the coun-
try and to accomplish that object he
urged amendment of the draft law so
as to provide that all men who have
reached their twenty-first birthdays
since June 5, 1917, shall be required to
register for classification.
Also in the interest of fair distribu-
ton of the military burden, he pro-
poses that quotas of states or districts
be determined hereafter on the basis
of the number of men in class one and
not upon population.
Available figures indicate, the re-
port says, that there are 100000
physically and otherwise qualified
men under the present registration
who will be found in class one when
all questionnaires have been returned
and the classification period ends
February Is.
To this the extension of registration
to men turning 81 since June of last
year and thereafter will add 100000
effective men a year.

U. S. AvIAT0RS BOMB GERMANS
Take Part in Raid, With Allied Flyers,
over Teuton Lines.

With the American Army in France
u. s. aviators have flown over the
German battle lines and dropped
bombs, in conjunction with British
and French pilots. The fight of the
Americans virtually was a reprisal for
the killing of two American wood cut
tiers during a German bombing expe-
dition week ago.
Through the courtesy OF the Brit
ish and French flying authorities the
American aviators also have taken
part in observation and Photographic
work.
1t is not thought advisable to name
the places where the Americans few

well beyond the German air defense

RUBBERS BOUGHT FOR CUSTER
State Secures $4,000 Pairs to Equip
soIdiers-cost $4,000.

Lansing-The state has purchased
$4,000 pairs of rubbers to assist the
government in keeping the feet of the
soldiers at Camp Custer dry.
One of the chief troubles at camp
was the shortage OF overshoes and the
action Of the state war board fills a
long felt want.
The rubbers secured are all slightly
heavier than the ordinary rubber made
for city wear. Most of them have
double and triple heels and soles, and,
in some few instances, the soles run
close to "a of an inch thickness al
though the number of the heavier sort
secured is small.
The total cost to the state will run
in the neighborhood Of $4,000.

How Measure Reads.

Section Is OF the measure reads:
Federal control of transportation
system herein and heretofore provided
for shall continue for and during the
period of the war and until congress
shall thereafter order otherwise"
The bill was introduced by Chair
man Sims, Of the house interstate com
merce committee, who will handle the
legislation in the lower branch.
1t carries guarantee that the gov
eminent will compensate private own
ers on the basis of the met railway
operating income" for the three years
ending June 30, 1917; stipulates that
the government shall maintain the
roads in as good condition as they
have been in under private control;
and authorizes the s500.000,000.
Wording OF Clause Clear.
Section 10 of the bill is interpreted
by every congressman as meaning
that the railroads will not go back to
their private owners unless congress
shall specifically and affirmatively so
provide. Commenting on 1t, Dom
ecratic Leader Kitchin said:
There can be no misunderstanding
of that section. Simple failure OF con-
gress to act would continue govern
ment operation. One filibustering
senator could perpetuate government
control for years"
Chairman Sims in referring to Sec
ton 13 said:
"That provision means just what 1t
says. We cannot tell what conditions
will exist when the war ends, and we
must reserve the right to legislate as
then seems best.
1--WE are entering the greatest test
of government ownership ever present
ed. II government operation sue
ceeds, sentiment for ownership will
be so strong that nothing can with
stand it, II it fails, the theory will be
so dead that nothing can resurrect it."
The paragraph is pronounced doubly
significant because the whole bill was
drawn under direction Of President
Wilson and Secretary McAdoo and in
troduced frankly as an administration
measure by Chairman Sims.
