Washington.-Man important steps
have been taken to expedite road con
struction under the enlarged program
recently authorized by congress, ane
the indications are that larger vol
ume of highway construction will be
accomplished this season than in any
previous year in the history of the ma
ton, according to statement issued
by David f. Houston, secretary OF
agriculture.
The requisite official machinery.
says the secretary, for executing this
program-that Is, the department OF
agriculture, through the bureau OF
public roads on the one hand and the
As state highway departments on the
other-is already in existence. A con-
ference was held by the secretary on
March / with the state highway com
missioners Of the Eastern and middle
Western states, and all phases OF the
problem, and especially the interprc'
tation Of the liberal amendments OF
the federal aid road act, were c0nsld'
cred.
The appointment of Thomas 81. Mac
Donald, chief engineer Of the Iowa
state highway commission. as engineer
in immediate charge of the work OF
the bureau of public roads under the
federal aid road act, has just been an
nounced by the secretary. and 1t Is
planned that, in the near future. Mr..
Macdonald will formally assume the
position Of director Of the bureau OF
public roads.
FreIaht Rates An Obstacle.
It developed at the conference that
the present freight rates are one OF
the principal obstacles to the active
resumption and extension Of highway
activities. The situation was laid be
fore the proper officials of the railroad
administration on March 1 by repre-
sentatives Of the department OF agri-
culture and. Of the state highway off,
cials.

ing, and the question is now under &C
tive consideration by the railroad ad-
ministration. Secretary Houston also
has taken up with the secretary OF
war the question Of releasing from the
army highway engineers In this coun'
try and abroad, in order that their
services may be utilized during the
coming road-construction season.
The secretary's statement in part Is
as follows:
During the war 1t was necessary to
curtail road-construction operations
because of the difficulties of securing
transportation, materials and the re-
auisite services. Now that the situa.
ton has changed. the work will be ac'
lively resumed and vigorously prose
cuted Notwithstanding the fact that
conditions are still abnormal in some
respects, especially with reference to
the prices of materials and supplies.

run Europe by force. The premier as
serted that there is complete accord
among the allied commissioners, and
then he launched into bitter attack
OF Lord Northcliffe, whose newspapers,
he said, had been striving to SOW dis
cord among the allies, to make France
distrust Britain and hate America, ana
America dislike France, and Italy
quarrel with everybody. He called at
tention to the fact that the Northcli1e
papers, which formerly ardently sup
ported President Wilson, are now hys-
tericaly attacking all his great Ideals,
and alluded to the diseased vanity
Of their proprietor and his disappolnt-
ment because he had not been called
on to save the world. With the ex-
ception, of course, Of the Northcliffe
papers, the London press gave consld-
cradle praise to the premier'S speech,
and his rejection of any idea OF MILL
tary action in Russia was especially
we'll received.

War With Microbes

Philadelphia.-That the next

the prediction Of DR.. Isaac
Sharpless, president of Haver-

"The next war IS likely to be
a biologists war where the VIC
tory will be attained by that
army or nation most successful
in inoculating its adversaries
with disease germs poured down
upon them from above.
"While this may be too hor-
rible even to contemplate now,
nevertheless 1t Is q possibility
and even a probability to be
reckoned with. and certainly 1t

cred before we begin to burden
ourselves with the inevitable

the present time is at least so per cent
over the production Of 1918.
Through all the economic records Of
the past, Mr.. Crammond says. 1t Is
possible to trace an advance In the
standard of living for the masses con-
currently with an increase in the
amount of money in circulation and
a decline in the purchasing power Of
money.
He predicts that the nations are on

If Lloyd Georges assertion Of full
agreement among the allied powers is
incorrect in any particular, the dis
crepancy involves Italy. At the close
of the week the problem Of F1ume had
not been solved and the Italians had
repeated their informal threats to re-
fuse to sign the treaty with Germany
unless that city were given to them in
stead Of to tho Jugo-Slavs, as Presl-
dent Wilson wishes. The threats we're
not taken seriously, however, and 1t
was believed that after the British pre-
mier returned to Paris that difficulty
would be adjusted. The treaties with
Austria Hungary. Turkey and Bulga-
ria may not be ready for several
weeks after that with Germany is
signed.
An interesting report printed In the
Frankfort Gazette says the German
peace delegates are prepared to ask
from the allies payment for damages
sustained from aerial attacks, from
the occupation Of German territory by
allied troops and for the delay in con-
GLIDING peace which caused prOlong-
alton Of the bolshevik and Spartacan
troubles. 1t Is easy to guess how far
they will get with such demand.
The peace commissioners, or at least
the correspondents in Paris, were
somewhat worried by the setting up
Of the communist government in Mu-
mich, fearing lest this might make nee
essary separate treaty with Bavaria,
the second state in the German confed-
GRAFTON. But it may be that before the
treaty is presented the regime of the
They have been having very stormy
time so far and the troops Of the So
cialist government have been pressing
them hard, though some Of the soldiers
have Joined the communists. That
the food boycott Of the peasants
against Munich is effective is shown
by the fact that the communist gov
eminent has asked for loan of mil
lion marks from Italy for the purpose
Of buying food. 1t Is said that chaos
no trains are running and the banks,
shops and houses are being looted.
The DEGREES issued by the communists
are many and radical, one ordering
the communication of all women, in
Guiding wives.
In other parts of Germany there
was continuous disorder and strikes
were started in many places. After
further severe fighting in Magdeburg
the Ebert troops gained entire posses
sion of the city In Berlin the en-
plOyees in various industries struck be-
cause they were not given a voice in
the management, and the soldiers and
noncOmmissiOned officers Of the army
there also declared they would strike
If the order reducing their pay to
peace-time basis was not rescinded.
Troubles with the workmen in Bremen
stopped the unloading of American
food ships there. In the Cologne dis
trict, occupied by the British, General
Plumer ordered the strikers to return
to work at once and threatened the Sc

menting or cOuntenancing strikes In

French Farms Amaze Men
Returning Soldiers who Live on
Farms Convinced Scientific
Agriculture Offers Profit
ohIo

Washington, Feb. 21.-The trend
toward better agricultural education
is nowhere reflected more clearly
than in the work of the federal board
for vocational education among the
disabled soldiers, sailors and marines.
The number of boys who have been
raised on farms of the non-progres-
sive type is considerable. and large
proportion of them now desire to re-
ceive specialized education in order
that they may go back to the old
home place. pull it OUT of the hap
hazard rut and put it on paying bas-
is
The sights these boys have seen in
France where the thrifty, French
farmer has brought intensive agricul-
ture to a science to where almost I'M
believable amounts are raised on
small acreage, have undoubtedly made
a strong impression upon our return
ed soldiers. They have decided that
after all, scientific agriculture and
management, at which the average
farmer is often inclined 10 scott, real
ly is something of actual value.
Many of these men are badly dis
ab1ed and will never again be able to
rely upon brute strength, which be-
fore the war, was their chief and on
ly asset. They have now become con-.
WINGED that mere strength does not
amount to much, and it Is the expert
knowledge and ability to direct which
does count most greatly. This edu-
cation is given them absolutely free
by the United States government.
They are sent to the best agriculture
al schools in the country, paid sup
port allowance of SOS month while
pursuing their studies, and all other
expenses are betrayed by the federal
board. The board is especially anx-
! ious to get in touch WITH farm hoys
who have returned special training,
and all letters of inquiry are welcom-
ed by the Board. the address of which
! is Washington, D. G. 1t has been des-
ignated by congress to have entire
charge of the vocational re-education
and placement of disabled soldiers,
sailors and marines.
