Fad Met Before

The first American to meet the Kai-
ser at Amerongen was Sergt James
ing officer in Cleveland.
Sergt. McAdams was attached last
December to the American embassy
in Paris as special courier to the
American legation in Brussels and
The Hague after serving at Chateau
Thierry.
''I had a little while to loaf while
in The Hague" he said, "and since
Amerongen is only two and half
hours ride away, my chum and I de-
cided to see the Kaiser's home. We
met him in the counts park. He was
strolling leisurely along in his alpen-
Jaeger hunting suit. We saluted him
and stopped.
g Are you Americans?' he asked,
using perfect English.
You bet we are we replied
Were you in the WARP he ques-
toned further.
Didn't you meet us at Chateau
ThierrV?' we grinned back"

MORE HARD HIGHWAYS TO BRING
COMFORT. CONVENIENCE. SAFETY

This work, it is estimated, will en-
ploy more than 100000 men in active
gagged in the production and furnish
ing of dbuilding materials. 1t
affords one of the large opportunities
for profitable employment for re-
turned soldiers and sailors.
Automobile Owners and Road Bonds
The recent federal appropriation is
for three years. State, county and
local funds will come largely from
bond issues. And there is where the
100000 automobile owners ought to
shine with a tremendous radiance.
plain duty call upon the automobile
owner to vote for road bonds. His
tire and fuel costs, as before men
toned, are cut in half by good roads.
More important still, if he be a city
man, as a very large proportion of
automobile owners are, it brings
what he eats to his door at less cost
Good roads have always meant some
thing in the way of reducing living
costs, but they mean more now that
the motor truck has come to stay
and to expand. One function of the
motor truck is to relieve congestion
in the neighborhood of large cities
a congestion that has increased dur
ing The past several years, and that.
if it continues, will tend to run up
Of the main reasons why. from the
standpoint of self-interest, the city
automobi owner should vote for
road bond issues.
Good Roads as Military Measure
From the standpoint of duty, the
military element probably takes first
place. When it became necessary
two years ago to concentrate great
numbers of men in cantonments, it
was found that the roadways con-
Meeting the environments with the
surrounding cities were in no sense
adequate. For the most part new
roads had to be constructed. There
is always the possibility of another
such emergency, and the only means
of insuring facile communication is
by the construction of surfaced roads
over which motor trucks can operate.
While the security of the nation in
such an emergency might depend
upon good roads for military uses,
their service to the nation would not
be confined to military matters. For
great portion of the time during
the past two years 80 per cent of the
railroad capacity of the country was
required for military purposes. The
transportation of food, fuel and the
like had to be accomplished largely
by means other than rail. Some
hardShipS were entailed. The motor
truck, however, over such roads as
were passable, rendered excellent
service. When the present road
building program is carried out and
the total of improved roads is sew
eral times larger than at present,
the service possibilities of the mo-
tor touck will be corresponding in
creased and the safety of the nation |
and the comfort of the people more
fully insured.

forepaws on the bed, blowing on the
spot where he had been lying-to
