THE PARK TO J..
PARK ROAD

War may have slowed but it has far
from stopped the activities Of the var
ious highway associations in prepara-
tions for peace, and the alluring pro-
ject Of the park-to-park highway,
meaning the adaptation or building of
a series Of roads to connect the ma
tional parks of the country, has been
furthered in several sections during
the year past. The work on the Gla-
cier- Yellowstone Bee Line Highway
advanced a great deal, various cities
along the route having helped mater
tally with road repairs. This highway
connects the east entrance to Glacier
National Park with the north entrance
to Yellowstone.
Elm order that the tremendous value
of this interpark highway from the
standpoint of publicity may not be i'm
paired" the forthcoming report of the
Director of National Parks will say
ut should not be encountered with q
multitude of side trips and detours to
regions not comparable with the seem
cry and recreational facilities of the
parks and monuments. Only well i'm.
proved highways Of recognized scenic
or historic importance directly trib.
utary to the park to park road, sucl
for instance, as the Columbia Rivel
Highway, he Denver Mountain Roat
System, the Pixies Peak Highway, ant
the Tahoe Yosemite Loop, should b.
included in such side trips.
ut is not unlikely that in the de
velopment of this automobile road be
tween the parks the Federal Govern
ment will have to assist in construcs
ing certain links of the chain"
Such assistance, for example, is pro
posed in Senator Kings bill to surve,
a road to connect the Mesa Verde Ma
tional Park with the Grand Canyon b,
way Of several monuments of idstin
guished interest.

JOY IN BERLIN,
GLOOM IN WASH,

Eight hundred and forty-six mem
bers of faculties of German UNIVERSE
ties have signed a statement demand
ing the earliest possible convocation of
a national assembly, according to Ber-
lin dispatches of the Associated Press
dated Dec. 4. Now listen to this:
among the reasons given by the sign
ers is that the new American Congress
which will come into office on March
18th, likely to be dominated by Republi-
can imperialists who will oppose Pres
ident Wilson's fourteen points,"
It isn't Republican imperialism"
the German college professors are
afraid Of. This is the first symptom
of that kind they have ever manifest
ed. Is the Republican party imper-
ialistic? It has been called so: dur
ing the civil war under Lincoln, when
Grant was elected President, and when
we began our great national service to
the Philippines and Cuba. Time has
gwen the lie to these charges. That
isn't what these German university
professors are afraid of. Along with
other European politicians and econo-
mists they want a peace treaty that
will give European interests opportun
jty to make the United States pay the
whole cost Of the war by the exploita-
ton of the American market under the
free trade system proposed by our in
ternationalists.
But just lay this dispatch alongside
of the solemn warning of President
Wilson and his compatriots to the e1-
feet that Republican triumph would
cause gloom in Washington and joy in
Berlin. We told you the Germans
surrendered because they got the cleo.
ton news and discovered the jig was
up!

Paris Damaged tanks. abandoned
by the French when the Germans
made their late spring drive, were
used as shields behind which German
machine gunners opposed the Ameri-

Thurver Of Reedsburg, Wis.
'They got behind these old up
turned tanks, a number Of which I
sew, and tried to hold us up after We
crossed the Vesle," said Thurver.
"But, Of course, 1t was only>a ques.

around them and then the German
machine gunners decided they were

Thurver was shot In the chest and

President Wilson will lbe one of the

the American executive.
"He will come" the Times adds, "at
a critical period in history. We
have won the war, thanks in no small

have now to win peace and peace will
not be won for this country or the
world unless it is based ON the warm,
active friendship Of the two great
English-speaking nations.

"There are many bonds of fellow
ship between us but next to common
language is the joint possession Of our
common law. We are attempting to
turn aspirations and international
Jurisprudence into genuine operative
international law and to endow it with
sanctions like those Of municipal laws.
Without the active good fellowship Of
England and America it simply cannot
be done.

border, is related by Lieut.. Dean
Rundlett Of Detroit, in a letter to
friends, written a few days after the
armistice was signed.
1--WE stumbled on this Jerry who
had the whole side of his head blown
off and his brain exposed" writes the
lieutenant. "He was alive and we
knew that he couldn't last long. and
thought we ought to bump him Off ia
save him from any further suffering.
Well, we let him alone, and about two
hours later returned through the same
trench and he was still alive, so one Of

$550,O00 FOR
seed GRAIN
FEDERAL LAND BANK OF ST.
PAUL PLAYS SANTA CLAUS TO
FARMERS IMPOVERISHED BY
DROUTH.

Santa Claus dropped a $550,000
Christmas present in to the stockings
of the farmers of the North Dakota
drouth stricken sections. This will
bring a harvest of plenty to hundreds
of impoverished producers in this
state.
The half million dollars is made
through the st. Paul Federal Land
bank, acting as financial agent for
the government in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture.
Arrangements have been completed
for the lending of this fund to pro-
vide the farmers of the drouth Sec
ton with seed, it was announced by
President E. G. Quamme.
It is not actually a gift as the loan
carry 6 per cent interest, but its pro-
vision will come like a Christmas pres
ent to those farmers. as it assures
them the necessary funds for seed to
be planted in the spring.
The maximum loan t. a farmer is
$500 or seed for 100 acres. Without
this he'll the farmers could not remain
on their farms, as they are unable to
finance the next planting due to the
drouth, said bank officials.
Great Falls, Mont, is the headquar-
tiers of the seed fund transaction. and
A. c. Wipr,d, assistant to President
Quarnme. will go there January 7th to
ARRANGE for the distribution of the
$500, 900 by the st. Paul bank.

ILLEGAL TO SEIZE AMAN'S RUM

How saddening it will appear to
some that a court in Pennsylvania has
rendered a decision just as we ap-
proach the brink Of a national drought
that it is illegal to confiscate the bat
tie of run found on a man arrested
for being drunk. The reason is, ac-
cording to the Pennsylvania court, a
bottle of run is personal property
Sounds like good logic, and many a
man who has been arrested on charges
Of drunkenness and their bottles were
ccnfiscated by the officers making ar
rests. The whisky was valued at 50
and the man afterward sued the May
or of Coatsville, Pa, to recover that
amount. The Court gave judgment
for the So and also placed the costs on
the Mayor.
The Court in it's opinion says that
liquor is personal property and: a rec
ognized article Of commerce, and fur
Their: "That the defendant might have
INDUCED in its use to such an extent
as to have impaired his health or MADE
himself temporarily a nuisance to the
community. did not Justify defendant
however commendable his motives in
confiscating the property. In the eyes
of the law, from the viewpoint Of pro.
perty, it was his and his ownership Of
it is entitled to the same protection a.
