Washington, d. C.-Iwenty thpus-
and motor trucks have been turned
over by the War Department to the:
Department Of Agriculture to be dis
tributed to State highway depart
ments for use in road d-buiding. They
range in capacity from two to five
tons, and have value of moro than
$45, 100000. - IL. & 4
All that the States must do to ae-
quire these trucks is to pay the load
ing and freight charges and must
agree to use them on road constrnc-
tion in whole or in part under Fed
eral aid, for which $500, 100000 was
recently appropriated by Congress.
f. The trucks were declared surplus
by the War Department, and being no
longer needed for war uses, for which
they were bought, it has been deter
mined to divert them to peace pur.
poses and at the same time extend
the aid the Federal Governments is
giving the States in highway con-
struction. The motors will be allotted
to States only on request of highway
departments in accordance with the
apportionment provided in the Fed
eral aid law approved in 1916. Under
the law, there can be no distribution
to counties or individuals, but only
to the States.

ing April, statements for q total OF
1,057 road projects were approved by

timated cost of $92, ,933, ,l21.81 and
total Federal aid of $36,576 1874

cuted up to- that time was 535, for
4,624.83 miles of road, at a cost Of
$39, 9,O59, 1927 IA, Of which 81, 1914, ,929.6l
is to be paid from the Federal Tfea-
sury.
During April, Secretary Houston

an estimated cost Of $16,26f, ,326.6i,
of which $7,528,550 60 will esnafrom:
the Federal appropriation. TINS Is
the largest estimate and the heaviest
request for Federal aid for any
month since the passage Of the law.
During the same month, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture and State high
way departments executed S. road
project agreements, involving the i'm
provement of 521.51 miles of road to

Motifs father was furious. He

the uttermost parts of the earth
and fetch him home if possible.
So while the clipping couple
were crawling toward Gibraltar on

boarded the swift Mauritania in
pursuit. He was delayed in Paris
and reached Gibraltar after Mott
and his companion had left
Then followed the chase clear to
Hong Kong, with Fuller always
behind the fleeing pair. At Port

barely missed overtaking them.
When he met them in Hong Kong,
Mott fatty refused to return.

Boys Nose, Cut Off by
Glass, Replaced by Doctor

Windsor, Eng, Nov. 22.-WiI-
liam Robertson, stable boy, liter
ally lost his nose for three-quarters
of an hour, but he points to it in
proof that it's as good as ever to-
day.
Falling glass cut his nose off. He
was taken to hospital, where the
arteries were tied.
Where is the nose?" the surgeon
asked.
The doctors son cycled to the
stable and found the nose in box
stall in the straw. The boy hurried
back and the surgeon worked so
skilfully that the original Robertson
nose is now in place and unmarried.

BY BASIL MATHEWS.
British Government Official and One o.
the Best Informed Writer'S on
the Far East.

London, Nov. 22.-When Japan
became an ally in the great war
when hundreds of thousands of Chi.
nese laborers were brought to Eu.
rope to work behind the lines, and
when more than 100000 Indians
voluntarily joined the British forces
i. became clear that we could never
hope to solve the problem OF the
east by continuing the detached pol
icy OF the past.
Now England and Japan are liter
ally on each others doorsteps-in-
deed, in each others kitchens.
The whole trend of events shows
that in the future the whole of the
worlds political and economic &C
tivity will center around the Paclfc
instead of around the Atlantic.
So that when the next great war
comes Gf it ever does come) it will
be a gigantic world fight for exist
cnce, fought out on eastern soil,
and in the eastern seas, but with the
inightiest nations of the west also
engaged in the life and death strug-
gle.
Depends Upon West.
Whether there will be a war,
whether the problem of the east
will continue to develop into an
increasingly perilous problem, de-
Ponds entirely upon the policy
adopted by the west The indi-
viGual who fancies that the west
can cut itself adrift from the east
is a Rip Van Wrinkle. Even the
east itself is awake to the futility
of such a policy.
Japan has made such vast and
rapid strides that the whole civ
.ilized world stands aghast at her
marvels of achievements. These are
the conditions which we have got
to realize, and / would particularly
draw attention to their economic
nature.
China is possessed of sufficient
coal to, last the whole world on its
present consumption for one thou
sand years. In. addition she has an
lnexhaustible reservoir of cheap la
Dor. .....
Chinese Labor Wage.
A miner is paid approximately IS
cents per day. They live in COM
pounds in the vicinity of the col
lieries, and when they have paid all
living expenses they have about 4
cents per day left. Coal sells at
the pitmouth at from 81 to $l.50
per ton.
In close proximity to the coal
fields are enormous resources of
iron, which can be mined, made
into pig-iron, transported to the
Pacific coast, and delivered at a
price that will compete to ad-
vantage with the famous Bethle-
hem product.
Japan also possesses tremendous
natural resources which it is de-
veloping by means of cheap labor.
There are 100000 female workers
in Japan, 100000 of whom are under
20 years of age, and many whom are
mere children.
