NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Philadelphia Board of Trade Asks Sec
rotary Baker to Cooperate In
Construction,

The Philadelphia Board of Trade
has asked the cooperation of Secre-
tary of War Baker in obtaining a ma
tional system of highways to accommo-
date the large and growing motortruck
traffic. This method of transportation
has done much to solve the congestion
on the railroads, but men all over the
country agree that our crazy-quiIt road
system has impaired the efficiency Of
the mOtortrucks at least 40 per cent.
1t is estimated that the 100000 motor
trucks in the country are used to only
60 per cent of their capacity; or, in
other words, if 100000 motortrucks
were used to their full capacity we
would be obtaining as much service as
we are now getting out of 100000.
At the last meeting Of the Philadel-
phia Board of Trade, Aiers Busch,
chairman Of the municipal affairs COM
mittee, adYocated.a national system of
motor roads extending from Boston to
Washington, made of concrete and
wide enough to accommodate four or
five lines Of vehicles. This report was
sent to all OF the councils OF defense
in the different states along the Allan
tic coast, to the governor of each state,
to the United States Chamber of Com
merce, to the war industries board and
to Z. N. Baruch, chairman of the war
industries board; and they were asked
to cooperate with this body in having
congress adopt such a system as war
measure, and to have this system put
into immediate operation.

WINTER OF CONFLICT is
EXPECTED WITH ALLIES
HOLDING OFFENSIVE
BY FLOYD MacGRIFF,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent

lHIcIQEIlOUHl NEWS OCINlCC hbdh
Correspondent
London, Sept. % (by maiD. - For
the first time in the world war there
is prospect Of Winter of conflict and
not stalemate on the western front.
While bad weather is expected to halt
practically all operations in low-lying
areas, there are other sectors along
I'll battle fronts where offensive
moves, mad possible by liberal use of
tanks, can and most probably will be
conducted.
The next two months is expected to
witness as heavy fighting as has taken
place since Foch seized the initiative
in July. The immediate plan before
the Allies is to get the Germans into
q position from which they cannot
retreat, but must stand up and take
flank blows from the French and
British and American armies. Such
blows will be intended to keep the
German army dcmoralized and to pre-
vent it from settling down to n COM
paratively safe war defense. behind
rivers and in trenches, which is the
German general staff's present plan.
Between Flanders and the Vosges
there is plenty Of terrian which will be
adaptable to attack by the Allies this
Winter. And such attacks will pos
sess certain advantages. for the Ger
mans will not be able to utilize bushes
and small clumps Of trees for hiding
machine-gun outposts, the chief weap-
ON used by the enemy in hampeling
an attack. It also is cutie likely that
the Germans will have insufficient
war clothing for hardships Of Winter
fighting, and it is very certain they
will have less meat and other heat
producing foods.
Heretofore war operations have
practically gone into Winter quarters
carly in December, not to emerge
again until mid. March. While fight
ing this Winter cannot be looked for
every day on n big scale, the season
of a Winter stalenate is not looked
for. If the Germans can b cooped up
ond harassed in narrow strip Of
land bordering their own frontier
where half of the enemy strength is
now Observation-Disclosures operations
on other sectors of the battlefront
can be looked for which will not make
good reading in Germany.

INDIAN CHIEF IS IN TRAIN
ING ON THE OCEAN WAVE
Chief Red Eagle of the Quapaw Tribe
Has Enlisted in Shipping
Boards Fleet
(From the San Francisco Examiner Of
October l3, 10l8.)

(From the San Francisco Examiner Of
October l3, 10l8.)
Descendant of a peaceful tribe Of
Americas first citizens, Leroy Red
Eagle, u full blooded Quapaw Indian,
of Baxter Springs, Kas., came to San
Francisco one month ago to enter the
United States Merchant Marine to
take his stand against the Kaiser and
his brood on the high seas.
Chief Red Eagle, as his shipmates
on the United States Shipping Board
training ship Iris call him, is one of a
tribe of 30 Quapaw Indians left in the
entire United States. All the other
members in their glory have "gone
west"
Stories of German atrocities and
the ravages wreaked in Belgium by
the gray coated hordes shattered all
the old traditions of this surviving
member of a peacc-loving tribe Of
American Indians and several at
tempts were made by "Mr. Red Eagle"
to enter the service of his native land
But for various minor reasons he was
turned down in the army, and finally
came to San Francisco to enter the
Merchant Marine.
When he first entered the Shipping
Board service officers of the training
ship questioned him as to the advis-
ability OF a man Of his ancestry join
ing the sea service. But with his
characteristic frankness he replied
that any Indian could fight on land,
but that there never had been such
thing as IN American Indian sailor
in history.
Entering the melting pot" of a
government receiving ship with hun
drcds Of other American boys the
capabilities of the Indian boy were
not ut first recognized. But soon
special detailed duties brought him to
the attention of Captain John N. An
sell, master of the receiving ship
Ocean Wave, and it was indirectly
learned after much questioning that
the modest, massuming Indian boy
was a graduate of Carlisle College in
1911. All tasks assigned him were
completed with the finesse of an ac-
complshed "jack of all trades" that
every finished merchant marine has
10 be.
Boys on the ship when informed
that "A live full bloOded Indian was
aboard ship amongst them, regarded
him as a curiosity and an antique,
rather than a real 100 per cent pa
triotic modern war-day American.
And nearly all his shipmates wanted
to see his war paint and feathers.
But when asked to do q war dance
for the boys he replied that the only
ferocious thing his tribe ever did was
TO smoke up the old peace pipe, and
he proceeded to show them the cor
rect methods of effecting peace rela-
tions between belligerent nations.
