PATHFINDERS
WELCOMED AT
LUNCHEON AND
CONFERENCE
Columbus Autoists Extend Invitation
to Americas to Route Fixing
Meeting April IS

The Florida Short Line pathfnders,
from Columbus, consisting of rs per-
sons, were given hearty welcome in
Americas today when they stopped
over for luncheon and for a confer
ence with Americas citizens at the city
hall.
The pathfnders were met by an
Americas delegation in four autos at
Smithville at noon, and the party ar
rived here about 1 O'Clock, took lunch
at the Windsor. and then went to the
city council chamber, where they were
greeted by Mayor Sheppard and other
citizens, and where several speeches
were listened to-. The pathfnders were
a bit behind their schedule. They had
intended to spend last night at Albany,
but because of the Rotary convention
there they were forced to stop at Daw
son. They visited Albany this morn
ing, but did not tarry long.
At the meeting at the city hall invi-
tations were extended by several Wis
iting speakers to Americas to be rep
resented at a meeting of towns and
cities interested in the Florida Short
Line, to be held in Columbus April 10.
The meeting was opened by Mayor
Sheppard, who delivered a short ad-
dress of welcome, and at the close
the mayor assured the visitors that
Sumter county and Americas were
ready to cooperate in every way with
Columbus in the highway movement.
Leland ]. Henderson, of the Col
umbus Chamber of Commerce, was the
first speaker and he went into the
state highway problem rather thor
oughly. He showed that Columbus
and Americas, each having an i'm
portant army camp, should be on the
great highways, and that their inter-
ests were identical in building high
ways for the attraction of tourists.
]. B. Kunze, president of the Columbus
Chamber of Commerce, made plea
for real highways-a connected sys-
TEN of highways that would be trav-
elable 365 days year. Messrs. Hard
and Page, of the visiting parties, pre-
scented special invitations to the meet
ing of April Is.
Major Schofeld, commanding Off
Ger at Souther Field, showed the value
of good highways in relation to the
military, and especially aviation. He
declared it probably would be the
policy of the air service to give dem
onstration flights to many cities and
towns to encourage enlistments in the
service, which is to be expanded and
that good roads were needed when
forced landings were made. He made
public the information that he had
Just received word from Washington
that the government, after having al
most reached the point of paving the
short road from Americas to Souther
Field, had now no funds and could
Tot do the work, declaring it local
matter.
Capt. Chas. ]. Glidden, who has trav-
eled all over the world by auto, dis
cussed highways from the tourists
standpoint He declared the Column
bus army camp, Souther Field and the
national cemetery at Andersonville
good attractions for tourists, provided
the roads are built.

early today to attend the reopening

Enthusiastically welcomed at the station
by a great crowd.
In his address at the university the
president asserted that tntrigues
against France had failed miserably;
the elections of last Sunday had
proved this. He detailed the history
of the university, declaring that the
Germans had made enormous efforts
to make it a center of GermaniZation
efforts which had run counter to the
sentiment of Alsatian youths, who
had always kept their eyes turned to-
ward the Vosages, despite German
threats.
Outlining the future Of the univer-
sity, President Poincare said it would
become the intellectual beacon of
France. standing near the line where
the Teutonic tide ends.
After the ceremonies the president,
accompanied by Marshals Joffre, Foch

Seven Ranks in Classification Plan.

The plan of classification which is
being worked out provides for the
following seven ranks: Senior. full
professional, associate, assistant
Junior. senior aid. junior aid.
If adopted, this plan would establish.
It is declared, one grand service COM
prising technical, scientific and pro-
fessional workers in which the various
employees would be placed on an equal
footing. thereby eliminating any in
CAPABILITIES and injustices which exist
under the present system. where each
special activity is Independently con-
sidered.
One scientist last night said:
"On account of the present unsatis-
factory employment conditions in the
government service for technical. sci
entiflc and professional employees,
many men engaged in these activities
are leaving the government service to
enter private employment at much
higher salaries. In fact, the annual
turnover in many of the bureaus COM
prised primarily of men of this char
acter is as high as 20 per cent, so
that the government is simply acting
as training school from which men
graduate to go in private employment
Many employees in these lines of work
now with the government are only
awaiting the action of the congress
sional joint commission on reclasSi-
fcation before deciding whether they
can longer afford to remain in gov
ernment service"

NORWICH VICTORY BONDS

Norwich workers in the Victory bond campaign want no German hel- nets as prizes to stimulate them to do their best to put Norwich over the top in the shortest order possible.
 This they have decided at a meet ing of the general committee Thurs day evening where general chairman Nathan A. Gibbs announced that twelve German helmets had been al lotted to this town by the state committee out of a lot of these Hun helmets that were to be distributed to communities to use as they saw fit in the campaign. They are fine new polished dress helmets that the Germans had proposed to wear when they marched into Paris. But that &narch has been postponed forever and now the helmets are to be Vic tory loan trophies.
 It had been decided by the meeting that the helmets would be awarded, two to each voting district of the town. to the man and woman secur- ing the greatest numbers of Victory bond suD.7Ul1p. .AOflS.
 The largely attended meeting was engaged in an anmiated discussion of IlOW LllC dW Wd1ttS were IO De ilddc GilN how the credits were to be equitably arranged and regulated.
 At this stage of the meeting, Mrs Edwin ". Higgins, executive secre- tary, arrived, having been detained from coming earlier. She was called on for an expression of opinion and at once stated very emphatically that she was opposed to the whole plan of prizes. This was the first she had heard of the German helmets, she said, and if any one of the workers was in this because he was going tC get some prize out of it, she was very sorry for such person. She thought we were all in it for the good of the cause, to get under the load, and put Norwich on the map as going over the top without waiting for the las1 minute to do it. Get it done a week ahead of the limit would be her ad- 1 vice, she said, and do it because Wt wanted to do our part just as tht /! boys lover there'' had done theirs 1 As to the helmet prizes Sic said snt would give them to some organization such as the G. A. R. or some other i but dismiss them entirely now fol i they would be a confusing and con 1 fiicting thing that would introduce strife among the workers.
