Sir-The undersigned, constituting
the governors advisory committee on

have since our first conference with
you on April 9Th had two meetings
attended by all members OF the board
at which, in accordance with your in
structions, we have studied the gen.
eral program Of road construction
for the Commonwealth as laid down
In the recent acts OF the legislature.
We have also conferred with the state
highway commissioner, and have ac-
quainted ourselves with the state OF
tho work which he now has in hand.
We propose to continue this study and
to make further recommendation in
detail, but. because Of the pressing
nature Of the Immediate problem. we
deem II expedient to submit to you
without delay our preliminary views
/. and recommendations, namely:
We are advised by the highway
commissioner that, under act Of the
legislature approved January 81,
1918, creating and establishing the
state highway system, there will be

The following is general sugges.

classes of roads should be taken w
for construction. However. would
call your particular attention to the
fact that any program outlined would
be dificult to put into effect. owing
TO the peculiar conditions which exist
throughout the state. You are prob

system are many short sections OF
highway which have been constructed
during the past five or six years. and
which can be utilized for several years
to come, The following however. will
give us general outline on which to
base a definite program:

said;
Il do not wish toq be in contempt
of any International tribunal, but l do
not consider the ex-kaieer alone re-
sronsible for the German outrages, be-
cause the whole nation backed up it's
ruler in every way. Therefore. why
try the kaiser?
Sir Valentine Chirol said to Univer-
sal Selvice tonight.
The responsibility for the result
Of any trial of the ex-kaiser will fall
heaviest upon Britain. because 1t is no

The fact that Britain is pressing
for the trial and the fact that the
trial is to be held in London will con-
tGntrate against us the chief odum
of the Germans. perhaps also of GER
tain neutrals, and junkerism will seize
the chance of rescuing the wretched
war lord from the contempt in which
he today stances before the world"
Rider Haggard sums up his opinion:
Let submarine commanders and
other murderers and violators and Ia
struments of frightfuiness be dealt
with under martial law. But let this

hands OF heaven, not those OF men"
