Turkev Takes Census.

For the first time in the history Of
Turkey. says an Amsterdam dispatch,
a complete census Of the whole empire
Is to be taken. A German statistician
has been appointed to superintend the
preliminary formalIties. The Turkish
newspaper, Sabah, says: "We are the
only nation in Europe, not excluding
ever the Balkan states, which pos
sesses no official statistics Of our popu-
lation." The estimated population of
Turkey before the war was roughly
q, 900, 900, of which 100000 were
Turks, 9,0OO.O 900 Arabs, 100000 Ar
menians, 100000 Greeks, 100000
Kurds, and the remainder Druses.
Jews and the smaller tribes. The Turk
ish newspapers have recently shown
some anxiety as to the large decrease
In population lately caused by the war
and the prevalence of disease and have
urged the government to take steps to
decrease mortality and increase the
birth rate.

She had done well up to now, had
kept her courage and her temper, had
taken her cue from him and been quiet
and poised. But more than his words,
his cruel voice, silky with friendship,
drove her to the breaking point.
Bitterly, and with reckless passion,
she flung ut him Hedwig's infatuation

In the end she grew quiet and sat
looking into the fire with eyes full of
stony despair. She had tried and
failed. There was n way left, only
one, and even that would not bring
him back to her. Let Hedwig escape
and marry Milky La~risch-still where

their blow and steal the crown prince.
Again-where was she?
Her emotions were deadened. all
save one, and that was her hatred Of
Hedwig. The humiliation of that mo-
ment was due to her. Somehow, some
day, she would be even with Hedwig.
Karl left her there at last huddled in
her chair, left full Of resentment, the
ashes Of his old love cold and gray.

II was anxious. And there were

"The truth about the kings condi-

"So!" said Karl uneasily. "But the

"The chancellor! He lies, Of course.

"Certain" She laughed bitterly.
The Observation-Disclosures, they

GOOD ROADS 1919 PROGRAM
Michigan Starting on Greatest Era Of
Highway Construction In His
tory Of State.

Michigan is going to start on the
greatest era Of road building in the
states history, declares Edward N.
Hines, first vice president of the De-
troit Automobile club. Mr.. Hines adds
that Michigan highway constructors
have seen the folly Of their ways in
building roads too narrow and Of types
not permanent. They will correct this
In the future.
Every citizen, including the farmer,
business man, laboring man and the
resident of the small town, sees the
need of permanent highways, the case
being proven to them by wartime con-
ditions, according to Mr.. Hines. This
al brought about by the inadequate
freight and express service, the food
situation and the general need to cor
serve labor wherever feasible.
Had the war continued" Mr.. Hines
stated, II had records of projects for
building of concrete roads in the state
that likely would have been put
through by the proper authorities In
Washington because Of their war ne-
cessity, there being some $4,000
square yards. Other projects for con-
crete roads in Michigan financed by
the Covert act whose issues were sold
and the money not expended during the
past season, and direct tax levies
amounted to 1,347, 800 square yards, a
total for the state Of close to 100000
square yards. All Of this will be built
in 1919 and in all probability this yard
age will be doubled by the time the
road construction work begins in the
spring.
"Wayne county's concrete roads
have stood the test since the United
States entered the world conflict. The
normal traffic, plus the enormous war
haulage by army trucks v e concrete
roads seven, eight, nine and ten years
old, was handled satisfactorily and
the highways held up in perfect con-
dition. Eyes of the road builders
throughout the country have been TO-
cused on Wayne county's roads and
the practical demonstration of the
value Of permanent roads has been
proven here in the vicinity of Detroit.
"Wayne, leader among the counties
Of Michigan in mileage of improved
roads, asked for no county road tax

money received from automobile IL

she would take 1t for q sign, and at

But, If no word came from Karl by

she had set out to do, and let him be-
ware! The king dead, there would be
no king. Only over the dead bodies
of the LivOnians would they let him
marry Hedwig and the throne. 1t
would be war.
C%urfously, while she was still on her
knees, her bargain made, the plan
came to her by which, when the time
came, the terrorists were to rouse the
people to even greater fury. Still

The history Of the Spad Is curious.
1t owes Its origin to Armand Deper-

ons. who amassed a large fortune by
a series Of swindling operations. In
1910 he proceeded to sink most of his
gains into aviation, establishing n huge
flying field and factory neal Reims
and engaging a brilliant young en-
gineer named Bechereau. The result
was that the D~eperdussln m%OnOplanes

the latter event at the rate Of 124.5

possible largely by the monocoque con-
.struction Of the fuselage, greatly supe-
rlor to the rectangular body section
then In vogue on other machines.
After the arrest of Deperdussin
time before the war the directors
Of the firm retained Bechereau as de-
signer and changed the name to Spad
(Soclete pour Aeroplanes Deperdus-
SIM. This was again changed quite
recently to "Societe pour l'Aviation ct

as before. Deperdussln's trial finally
took place a few months back and a
merely nominal sentence was imposed
on account Of the great services to the
cause Of French aviation rendered by
the defendant.

So Olga LOschek lost her bargain.

countess, still pale with illness and
burning with fever, went back to the
city.
