 In one sale of loot 9O,OOOO stoves have been disposed of, mostly to Bel. gians and French.
 A cargo of rags was bid up to $35O a ton before the auctioneer discovered what the bidders already had learned that the rags covered store of cop per.
 Here is just a partial list of the ar ticles seized and now being sold by the disposal board: Brooms, buckets trench mirrors, dried tripe, toilet paper, water bottles, hammers, lamps pumps, blunderbuses, carbide, beds. spring mattresses, mousetraps, bells rotary pumps, wheelbarrows, harness mosquito netting (by the 1000 yards) churns, oil, paint, shovels, wire cut ters, bags, paper string, paper bags medical stores, huts, field forges, uni forms, bells, Klaxon horns, gas alarm sirens.

LAPS DRINK MORE AS
 U. s. IS VOTED DRY

TOXIC, May 24.-"We have made a matter of one milliard and half yen out of the war, and, flushed by this sudden gain, are drinking more deeply, than in pre-war days, while in the country across the Pacific the people, in spite of having come into possession of thirty milliard yen, know how to restrain themselves, and have decided unanimously to go dry. No wonder that the Japanese, who are incapable of understanding the Ameri- can ideals. cannot interpret the in tervention of the United States in the war otherwise than as being prompted by sinister motives" These are the words of Ozaki, Japanese thinker and writer, criticising his countrymen's suspicion of America.

EXPECT REPORT SOON ON BANKHEAD ROUTE
 THRU THIS SECTION

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, May 24.- (Special)--At the April meeting of the Bankhead National Highway as- sociation in Mineral Wells, Texas, a Pathfinding commission was created and put in charge of J. A. Rountree, Director General of the United States Good Roads association and secretary of the Bankhead National Highway association. and authorized to inspect the various proposed routes for the Eankhead National Highway from Fl Paso to the Pacific Coast. The commission appointed was composed of Messrs. A. G. Batchelder, Execu- tive Chairman of the American Auto mobile association. M. O.. Eldridge, Senior Engineer of the Department of Public Roads, and c. A. Beasley, Clerk of the United States Senate Committee on Postoffice and Post Roads.
 This commission left Fl Paso on April 21st, accompanied by Ex-Con- gressman T. S. Piowman, President of the Bankhead National Highway association, and proceeded to inspect the various proposed routes in New Mexica, Arizona and California. The commission was escorted by dele gates from town to town in the va rious states, was given banquets, lunches, was extended every courtesy and was furnished with maps, data, statistics and all information neces- sary for the commission to select the most feasible route from Fl Paso to the Pacific ocean.
 The commission was given every assurance by state highway officials, county and city officials that if their respective routes were selected they would comply with all of the require ments of the government and the Bankhead National Highway asso- citation in building the highway through their respective sections. The commission travelled over 25,- 900 miles, visited over 50 towns and cities and passed over some of the worst roads in the country, as well as some of the best in the United States. They found the people en- thusiastic and very desirous of being a part of the great trans-continental highway, which will be the only 365 day national highway in the country.
 The commission disbanded at Fl Paso, Texas, and returned to their respective homes. They will meet in Washington within the next fifty days, consider their field notes, make up their decision and report the same to Ex-Congressman T. s. Plowman President of the Bankhead National Highway association, who will cal meeting of the Board of thesDi rectors to accept, reject or amend tho pathfinders' report.
 After the pathfinders' report has been passed upon, this will complete the inspection and designating of th' Bankhead National Highway iron Washington to the Pacific coast.
 Over two-thirds of the route hal been officially adopted by state leg islatures, state highway commission CTS, county officials, and half of tn road is permanently buiIt. Much en thusiasm prevails along the entir route and it is believed that thi highway will be the first the govern ment will takeover as its own.
