GOOD ROADS FOR MILITARY
Smooth Highways Imperative in Prop
er Movement of Army Equip
ment Along Coasts.

It is generally recognized by gov
eminent officials, especially those OF
the army, that one of the most i'm
portant phases Of real military pre-
paredness that can possibly be under
taken in this country is that which is
going on under the impetus of the
good roads movement. The federal
aid road act which was signed by
President Wilson last summer will
probably play an important part I'm
this same interest. An appropriation
OF $75,OO0OO0 has been provided for
In this act for use in constructive
rural post-roads, while the various
states are to cooperate in providing
like fund.
1t is planned thus for an expendi-
ture of $15O,O00,OOO on such roads
within the next five years. Although
the roads are intended primarily for
the purpose Of developing the re-
sources of the national forests, and
In the interest of agriculture and 9TH
or peaceful enterprises, some study Is
now being made Of their practical use
In the interest OF military prepared
ness.
A good road, well built, well sur
faced and well drained may be, 1t is
pointed out, Of immense value from a
military point Of view. In the location
OF roads, particularly along the shore,
special attention to military require
ments In the laying out and planning
OF highway may prove Of ineSttmable
value at some time in the future when
that highway becomes a military road.
From an economic standpoint 1t is
estimated that 1t costs % cents to haul
q ton q mile on the average country
road under present conditions, while
under proper conditions the cost would
be but 18 cents. While these figures
measure a direct cost, there is an
even greater indirect cost to consider
with bad roads when the farmer must
plan his operations according to the
weather.
1t is a matter of special interest
that at the present time roads on the
Pacific coast and those in some Of
the important Atlantic states which

A recent postcard and letter from
Sergeant Major George Bats shows
the boundary line of Italy and Aus
tria, guarded now by Italian soldiers,
and the steep mountain peaks that
the Italians scaled to reach the Aus
TRANS who held the heights above
and whom the Italians so gloriously
defeated. George says that if the
Americans had been holding these
mountain tops, instead of the Aus
TRANS, that no force on earth could
have taken them. George is enthus-
iastic over Italy, where he is spend
ing a two weeks furlough, but would
enjoy it more if he could have his
friends with him. An Italian by birth
but a resident of New York accom-
panies him and this being his old
home having him as travelling COM
panion is most interesting.

our coasts are already I'm very good
condition. There is one trunk road
which runs all the way from southern
California up through Oregon, with
many smaller roads branching from
IT, that is said TO be In the best Of
condition.
Yet 1t is a matter of regret that the
unsurfaced roads Of the United States

Is estimated, girdle the earth at the
equator more than eighty times. while
the surfaced roads would reach but
one-fourth that distance. However,
there has been greatly increased ex-
penditures for road building and main
tenance in the last decade and there
Is now a more hopeful outlook with
the five-year construction program
provided under the federal aid act.

REALIZING CHECKS
GAINS IN COTTON
Market Firm, Influenced by
Optimistic Peace Outlook
and Sales to Belgium

New York. April 7.--Thc cotton
market had a Arm opening on general
buying, influenced by the optimistic
peace outlook and reports of heavy
sales of spot cotton to Belgium.
, New contracts started at an advance
Of 20 to 80 points, while old contracts
were 80 points higher to 45 points
lower.
Realizing sales and selling from
southern sources held further advances
in check after the opening, but the un-
dertone remained very steady.
It was reported that trade interests
were heavy buyers on Saturday against
sales Of spot cotton to either Belgium
or Italy and Memphis advices received
this morning said that European com
missions, anticipating an early conclu
sion Of peace, had arrived in this coun
try and would soon be considerable
buyers of spot cotton. .'
One of the early messages from
Charleston reported a good demand foi
export to Liverpool and Havre.
