STATE HIGHWAY WORK
WHAT THE STATE TRUNK HIGH
WAY MEANS TO THIS COUNTY,
MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM.

The roads on the State Trunk High
way System in this county have al
ready been laid out and they are fam
liar to the public through a legal de-
scription Of them published in the
county newspapers. The preliminary
official map is on file with the county
clerk and maps are on file in the office
OF the County Highway Commission
er.
The total mileage Of the State Trunk
Highway System in the state is
4,988.38. OF this 100 miles lie in this
county,
The two features that will be the
most noticeable to the public when ac-
tive work is in progress will be the
patrol maintenance and the standard
lied road marking. Firstly as to
the maintenance:
1t IS admitted by everybody who has
anything to do with road work that
the only system of maintaining roads
which means keeping the roads in
condition after they are built is by
patrol maintenance. The tendency
under the old system was to build a
road and after two or three years.
when it was badly worn out, to re-
pair it, which meant in a good meas
ure reconstruct it, This in turn
meant that before it's reconstruction
money it was a very poor road to car
ry the traffic and it further meant a
big item of expense for RECONSTRUCT
ton.
The modern theory of maintenance
is that a stitch in time saves nine:
and that to maintain a road you must
keep at it constantly and make re-
pairs as soon as a weakness appears.
This not only gives you a better road,
but it saves money 1t operates like
the section system on railroads
in charge of sections devoting their
whole time to keeping them in re-
pair.
Patrol maintenance will be placed
on all State Trunk Highways and the
task is a big one. The law provides
that the entire system after May 1st,
whether previously improved or not,
must adequately maintained.
The state has been divided into
eight divisions with a Division Engin-
eer in charge of each, having in his
jurisdiction eight to eleven counties.
In each division there will be a Di-
vision Maintenance Engineer espe-
cially in charge of maintenance of
his division. The County State Road
and Bridge Committee will have gen
eral charge of planning the mainten-
ance in the county. The County High
way Commissioner will have direct

AS TO AUSTRIA.

Two Americans, recently returned from long stay in Austria, tell most interesting story of actual conditions there. They declare they were bet ter treated everywhere. in cafes and public places, by all classes Of Aus trians than were German officers in uniform The Austrians hate the Ger mans with a bitter and violent hatred But the iron hand of Germany is up- on the Austrian throat. America is belittled and ridiculed by every form of public document and propaganda. Nothing is, left undone to spur the masses on Actually a picture was shown that depicted a red Indian in feathers and war paint tprobably 9 sideshow or movie Indian) as the only recruit that could be gained in a great American city for the war. But in spite of this the Austrian masses, sui fering terribly from the war, hate Germany and all things German, and the flame from a match or the break ing of a stick may start a fire or a ferment that win end this unholy alll- ance with the Prussian.

The Review has. from time to time. printed extracts from Kahn's speeches This paper regards this American citizen of German birth as one of our most valued and helpful public men in this crisis He strikes at Prussianism and spares not. He is doing a tremendous work for good with German-Americans with his clear cut, forcefuI eloquence. "Prussianism, % he declares in this speech, delivered before the Harrisburg. Pa. Chamber of Commerce. "gave to Germany ,un- paraIleled prosperity and many other things Of value, but it has taken in payment the soul of a race. It had made a devils bargain" Otto Kahn's greatness and the real measure of his good will grow with the years, and some day will be offered by right thinking Germans as a measure to off set the crimes of the terrible leaders that Germany follows so devotedly to- day.

AMERICAN DOLLAR ABROAD.

It is said that the American dollar is worth only seventy-five cents in Spain, Denmark, Holland and other neutral nations. As to why this should be so no one seems to know. The balance of trade with these nations $ in our favor by hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Today we are the creditor nation of the world and were never so rich and so strong. Yet our dollar is placed at only three fourths value in that poor, pitiable, bed-ridden, half-baked, half-bankrupt, pro-German country of Spain. Our citizens abroad must pay a dollar and quarter of our money for a dollars worth of Spanish merchandise. It is a fright If there is e remedy the president and his cabinet ought to find and apply it.

RUssIA's PEACE.

After the brave but merciful Keren- sky and his followers of the middle classes had overthrown the czar and proclaimed a free Russia, the work ingmen and soldiers came forward under those mouthing radicals and agitators, Lenine and Trotzky, and cried for peace. We are poor work ingmen." they declared. "and we want peace. We love our German brothers, who are wcrkingmen. too. We all of us have to do the fighting and pay the costs. It is a nobles' war in Europe and a Wall street, and rich mans war on the part of America We want a world peace and we will have it. We will not fight. We will disband our armies and insist upon peace Fight ing is silly and wrong. We are the powers that be now and We will vio- late our contract with our allies in the sacred cause of peace" Well, they have their peace. It was crammed down their yellow threats yesterday by the iron fist of the kaisers gener- als. They must give up One-third of the fairest portion of Russia and all their seaports and billions of roubles for an indemnity to pay Germany for her trouble and expense in raTaging Russia Here is the ideal peace that the pacifists and promisers and curb stone orators and backhall radicals and L ". W reds and impractical and selfish and shallow and loud and long talking leaders secured for their poor and deluded followers. Consider it. you American workingman or pacifist or visionary or dupe- How would you like such a peace from Germany for America? No land or indemnity, said Germany to little Trctzky. and he dis banded Russis's armies and piped and squeaked his big words about univer- sal peace What can he do about it nowZ What can Russia do? The bars are down and the sheepfold is open. The wolf enters and the sheep bleat- This is the Russian peace by negotia- ton with an unbeaten Germany. Thei only kind an unbeaten Germany knows anything about And yet people will talk peace and listen to the German spies and propagandists and sympath- izers who swarm in every allied nation upon the earth It is terrible picture, this Russian slave pen, but the world should walk up close to it and look and think earnestly and resolve greatly.

This is fifty per cent of the French forces, which leaves three million men under arms. Over ninety per cent of Frenchmen from the age of eighteen to forty-five are carrying arms fol their beloved France. Congressman Johnson also declares that nine hun dred thousand men lie buried around Verdun- This glory spot of France Is one vast grave. England's darkest and brightest spot upon the continent Of Europe is Ypres. which next to Yer dun, is the blood 2st ground Tn the world.
