Thare are experts in ell lines, but
shall not man who can persuade
eight women to marry him rank as an
authority on matrimony? According
to the Missourian who is locked up in
the Tombs as confessed bigamist, the
way toa woman's heart is through her
higher emotions. Il appealed to the
best in women always" he says, sand
never to their lower natures"
Women also. this artist in love dis

feet by those who WOO them; they
have no patience with the dawdler.
Nor did he find that 1t was essential
for the wooer to be handsome or more
than neatly dressed. But these. Of
course. are old precepts IN the manual
of courtship. Ugly men have often
been great rakes, and ardor is tradi-
tionally effective in sweeping the re-
Iuctant fair loft their feet" His main
contribution to the art Of love, and it
is one worthy of Ovid. is that of the
potency of an appeal to the higher ma
ture of women.
But is "the best" in women a fixed
quality. or does it vary and require

That is no doubt a difficulty that viii

Road Crisis in Marathon County

Road Crisis in Marathon county
Macadam and earth roads have
failed
Maintenance cost has reached
point where it will be financial folly
to continue with that type of surface
on the main routes in Marathon coun-
ty.
This statement needs no yerification.
The statement is supported by the
County Board of Supervisors and the
County Highway and Bridge commit
tee. 1t is a fact, admitted by every
body who has had occasion to use the
roads.
Our experiences last spring are only
an evidence that we are facing far
more costly experiences in the future
unless the policy of constructing per-
manent trunk lines is adopted.
1t is time to stop waste!
1t is now proposed to issue bonds
for $4,000,O0O which. in connection
with the federal and state aid funds,
will cover the cost of building 14O1a
miles of concrete and 125 miles of
gravel roads in Marathon county. This
system will brace all of the main
market highways in the county upon
which traffic concentrates as it ap-
proaches the market centers, and
where the expense of maintenance is
heaviest
The bonding plan does not mean an
increase in taxes. 1t merely pro-
vides a way to get capital as needed
for continuous construction in large
contracts and the early completion of
the system-inside OF eight years
and putting into service type of road
that will require practically no main
tenance, thus permitting the accumula-
ton for bond redemption Of funds that
are now being wasted on maintenance.
Building without bond issue will
mean building by piece meal with the
same problems of heavy expense and
waste. Building with bonds means
building by wholesale, with resultant
saving in time and money that always
comes with the operation of construc-
ton ON large scale.
Building without bonds and continu-
ing with macadam and earth roads
means REPETITION on construction and
repairs at inevitable expense of more
than $4,000,000, within twenty years
the period provided for the payment
of the bonds-and still have no roads.
Building with bonds means that we
will have the new roads with repair
waste stopped and accommodating saw
'ings started with which to meet the
bonds and interest as they fall due.
BY adopting a policy of permanent
construction of main roads, better
maintenance will be provided for all
together roads connecting with the
trunk lines.
In that way only, can direct and
lasting benefits accrue to all
Concrete roads reduce the pull, in
crease the load and shorten the time

territorial changes, but particularly the
transfer of her eastern districts to the
Poles. Without much doubt, Germany
recognizes the necessity of accepting
the loss of Alsace-L Lorraine.
She will use the Saar Valley detail
to make such moral capital as she can
in alleging a violation of Mr.. Wilson'S
fourteen points. But the Saar Valley
is small area and the terms of French
possession provide for a possible re-
version to Germany.
BY contrast, if Germany loses her
Polish provinces, she will lose, nearly
an eighth OF her area, some of her
best food-producing regions, one of
her great industrial districts, and East
Prussia will be separated from the
rest of Germany by the Polish corri-
dor. The. work of Frederick the Great
will thus be almost completely undone
1t is plain that if the Allies have
erred on any side in making the Polish
settlement, it has been in favor of the
Germans. 1t is clear that the Allies
have reduced cession by Germany to
Poland until only Enthusiastically Polish
districts have been taken, but it is no
less clear that in taking these districts
the Allies have dealt q terrible blow
to Germany.
There is growing belief that if the
Germans decide to sign the treaty of
peace new delegation will come here
representing the Independent Social
lists, the only party in Germany willing
to sign.
But there should be no illusion any
where as to what the signing means.
The German will honor his signature
only as he is compelled to- Having
signed the treaty, he means to do
everything within his power to defeat
the application of the terms He trusts
that after year or two at most the
Allies will fall apart as the conquerors
of Napoleos almost fell apart between
Fontainebleau and the return from
Elba.
One has only to read the volume of
German comment now to be perfectly
clear that no German accepts the
treaty of peace as just, that there is no
smallest realization yet that it repre-
sents the sentence of civilization upon
German barbarism; and the very
authors of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk,
the very men who planned to annex
Belgium and Northern France and Law
France to ransom, the very people who
one year ago were hurting shells into
Paris churches, are now talking about
justice and humanity and German
moral superiority in fashion which
almost passes human belief!

Is Expected to Occupy
Russian City in Few Days

COPENHAGEN, May 16 (By The Asso-
commanded by General Mannerheim,
leader of the government forces, is
marching against Petrograd, which, it
is expected, Will be occupied within
few days, according to advsces to the
National Tidende."
Ukrainian reports received from
Vienna indicate that the Bolsheviki are
fleeing from their advanced western
positions at Rovno before the army led
by Simon Petlura, and are retiring in
disorder, due to a lack of transporta-
ton, toward Korosteny and Sarny
Junction.
1t appears that there is general up
rising of Ukrainian peasants against
the Bolsheviki, the town of Homel, in
the government of Mohilev, falling into
their hands. The peasants are led By
H. Orlovsky and are reported to have
won other successes northeast of Kiev.
The army led by Zeleney, another
Ukrainian peasant chief. numbers
about 10000 and is operating on both
sides Of the Dnieper River near Kiev.
PARIS, May 16-The Germans, by
their imperialistic manmuvres in
Letivia and Lithuania, are retarding
any concerted campaign against the
Bolsheviki in the region of Riga and
southwark, according to the WARSAW
correspondent Of the Temps" The
effect of the coup at Libau, where the
Germans overturned the Lett governs
ment, he says, has paralyzed the anti
Bolshevik activity of the Let's and
prolonged the domination of Riga by
the Soviet forces. Letivia, the CORE
spondent asserts, is politically and
militarily under the influence of the
Germans.
The presence Of German troops and
German agents in Lithuania, it is add
ed, is holding up Polish military ac-
tlvlty against the Bolsheviki.
The correspondent urges the neces-
sity of compelling the withdrawal Of
the German troops as soon as possible,
asserting that there is no military rea-
son for their presence.

PARIS. May 16.-H. F. Worley, finen.
cial adviser of Liberia, and the liz,
bsrian delegates to the peace con-
ference have presented claims for the
lives of three hundred Libcrians who
were murdered in cold blood by Ger
man officials in the Kameroons. The
claims are based on evidence o. NUM-
bers of foreigners and native Ii
berians who testified to the following
facts:
At the opening of the war 800 Ii
berian contract laborers working for
German firms in the Kameroons re-
fused to take up arms on the ground
that they were Liberian citizens and
were not contracting TO participate ia
the war. They were herded in jail,
and the Germans lined up 100 whom
they shot with machine guns as en-
example to the others.
When the Germans were forced 70
leave Duala in the Kameroons they
burned the Jail with 200 Liberians
who were locked up in the building;
Not one escaped. The remainder OF
the boo either succeeded in escaping
to Liberia or were found in the Kane
rooms when the Allied forces arrived
there.
