HIGHWAY AND STREET
PROGRAM FOR 1919

The new regulations of the United
States Highways Council in relation
to the policy and procedure as to
highway and street work during the
period of the war will make a great
difference with the plans of every
Highway Commission in the country,

sold by the manufacturers for any
highway or street construction, I'M
less the project has been approved by
the United States Highway Council.
Chief Engineer Paul D. Sargent of
the Maine Highway Commission said
Oh Thursday. in relation to the de-
cision of the council:
There is absolutely nothing to do
except comply strictly with the re-
ouests-whicE amounts to a demand
or order-of the Highways Council

as they say and endeavor to have as
much as possible Of our road-build-
ing program approved.
Inc council mas asked us Tor a II

our road-building plans and in com
pliance with the request, the Maine
Highway Commission is preparing to
collect all the information from cities
and towns as to the amount and
character Of the highway and street
work planned for the season of 1919
which will necessitate car service:
that is, the use Of coal. cement, steel

Inquiries will be sent out in a few
days and it is hoped that a prompt
response will be made by all, so that

Draft Rulings

The following Selective Service or
Draft Rulings have been received by
Adjutant General George Mel. Pres
son, the provost marshal Of Maine,
II ON Provost Marshal General E. H.
Crowder at Washington:
Inducing Rejected Men
The practice of some local boards
of sending to another camp men who
have already been rejected at one
camp must be stopped. Such prac-
tice is deliberate violation of the
Seiective Service Law. While it may
occasionally happen that men who
are honestly believed by local boards
10 be physically qualified have been
rejected at camps, the great major
ity of those rejected at one camp will
be again rejected at another, thus
causing great expense to the govern
r-ent for transportation, etc.
Involuntary Induction SUSPENSION
The suspension Of involuntary in
oaction of any registrant who is a
neutral declarent, remains effective
until the dav specified in his notice
and in the case Of a registrant with
wing his intention Of becoming a

t-ant finally classified.

RETURN TO WAGER OF BATTLE

A day, not far removed, my come
when the embattled hosts Of rival ma
tons will give place to a wager of
battle to decide the conflict. The bat
tie will then be confined to the COM
batants alone without violent interior
ence with the peaceful pursuits Of
noncombatants or destruction of their
property.
First, however, we must evolve
great engines Of destruction, SO per-
feet that few skilled heroes will d.
rect each one of them. These war ma
chimes will be so costly that only
few great powers will have the re-
sources to construct and maintain
them. Wise legislation and skillful
systems Of taxation will be necessary
to organize the whole people for their
support. A chosen few, picked from
the whole nation, viii man them, men
in the full vigor of their strength,
physically perfect to endure the terri
BILE strain, and powerful Of brain to
meet and surmount every intricacy Of
mechanics and every difficulty Of
strategy.
Above all, these hero supermen
must be Of such answering character
that they will, day in and day out,
without surcease. devote their unfag-
ging zeal to the great task Of defend
ing the civilization for which they con-
tend. The evolution and the increas-
ing economic burden Of maintenance
Of this machinery Will make war the
luxury of the most powerful states
and will cause the area Of wa con-
stantly to recede. Small nations will
no longer be able to maintain military
establishments, and eventually the mil
lions Of men who now battle upon the
field of honor will have been replaced
by a contest among few men in con-
troll of stupendous machfnery.-Ellery

STOCK MARKET

New York, June 4-Openlng-
Stocks were active and strong at the
opening of today's session, yester-
days late rally being very generally
extended. Steels, equipments and the
war group as a whole led the move
ment at one to point gains, and
shippings seemed to ignore the sub
marine menace. Standard railroads
displayed underlying strength, and
specialties were represented by to-
baccos, Mexican Petroleum, Ind~s-
trial Alcohol and Distillers at sub
stantial advances.
Noon-United States Steers further
advance to a substantial fraction over
par on purchases of single lots rang
ing from 1000 to 5000 shares gave
fresh stimulus to the list during the
forenoon. Most early gains were
augmented on broader operations,
coastwise shippings sharing with Ma
rine. Railroads also showed further
improvement and pools were active in
tobaccos, motors and minor special
ties, Sumatra Tobacco rising points.
Trading halted at midday, but ex-
IRENE advances were fully main
tanned. Liberty rs sold at 99.6S to
$3.50, the first As at $3.50 to 93.5S,
the second As at 1892 to $3.50 and
