shown themselves superior III
maintenance possibilities to any
water-bound structure we nave
lbuilt This is another reversal OF
a former opinion.
Gravel Road Easy to Maintain.
We have found that the most
satisfactory cheaply built roads
to maintain are the gravel roads.
We have scarified many miles OF
old gravel roads and at cost OF
5000 or less per mile have pro-
duced a surface very satisfactory
and easy to maintain. The more
experience we have with gravel
| tbe more convinced we are that
| If is the lowest cost surfaced road.
both to build and maintain, and
much superior to water-bound
macadam. We believe that the
particles of gravel in the top four
inches of gravel road should not
be larger than one inch. and We
would crush even finer if it were
not so expensive to produce fine
crushed gravels. Gravel roads
give the best and smoothest ser
vice without surface treatments.
Main Roads Never So Good as
Now.
Summing up the maintenance
results we can say that on the
state trunk highway system IN
Wisconsin, despite the fact that
our construction has been cut to
less than half Of the normal due
to war conditions, the main roads
in Wisconsin were never so good
as they have been throughout
this season. We estimate that in
one year we have improved the
average condition of the 5000
miles at least so per cent. Com
petent estimates are that in the
one year the increased number of
miles per hour which can be safe |
ly averaged by auto over the
state trunk highways is 7 adj |
ditional miles. This improve
ment and this increased mileage
per hour mean much.
We believe that any state can
equal or surpass this record at an
average cost of about $3.50 per
mile per year. IF more money
can be made available the first
few wears. so much the better |
We have learned to have the
greatest respect for the less ex-
pensive methods of maintenance
and construction which we did
not entertain heretofore.
We feel distinctly confident |
that if one year has enabled us
to produce the results which have
been produced. a succession off
years will give us passable high |
way system at an expense within
our means. Maintenance will
bridge over the gap which there
must be between our present prac-
tically unroaded condition and
the ultimate system of adequate
highways built to bear modern
traffic, which all states are go
ing to have as fast as these sys-
TENS can be financed and built.
Probably the best commentary
on the maintenance results of this
wear is. the fact that at the No
vember meetings of our county
boards many of the counties
HdoDted county trunk highway
systems to be maintained in 1919 |
by the counties by the patrol sys-
tenn. 1t is probable that the total
mileage on these county systems
IS half that on the state system.
50 that Wisconsin will have 7,5OOI
miles of patrolled highways in
1919. IL

REGARDING CRITICISM"

Editor W. Y. Morgan Of the Hutch
inson News, who is now in France
with the Y. M. C. A., writes his paper
the following regarding criticism of
the management of the battle of the
Argonne. Especial attention is called
to the statement of Mr.. Morgan re-
garding his qualifications as a critic
of things military:
The news comes drifting back
across the ocean that great deal of
criticism is now being made against
the army, as well as other and less
important war organizations. ] have
had several people write and ask me
to give them the full facts in the
case.
In the first place l want to say
that as an editor of Kansas news
paper for a number of years have
gained a knowledge and experience
which qualities me to criticse the
army. 1t is very unfortunate that
some man like me was not selected
instead of General Pershing to direct
the American EXpeditionary Forces.
Some people may not agree with
me on this point, but as l can easily
point out many mistakes that have
been made by Pershing and many
other officers and soldiers ! think it
can readily be seen that my qualif-
cations as a military expert are be-
yond criticism. There will be SCOT
fers who will say that it is compara-
lively easy for me to point out mis-
takes, and that might not have done
so well in constructive work. | con-
slider that an effort to dodge the issue.
My own experience in the army has
been confined to service among the
doughboys after their fighting days
were finished. l might criticise them
for ending the war before l got into
action, but perhaps l had better let
that pass. l presume l have heard
all the issues and questions which
will be raised in our homeland dis
cussed in the billets and the loafng
rooms, and along the streets in the
dirty French villages, until l think l
am somewhat conversant with the
judgment of the men who really won
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-04-24

the war. The only point that ! worry
about is that none of them think that
a Kansas editor is qualified to run
the army, but each one thinks that he
is better qualified Sometimes | think
it was necessary to have general
who should decide these questions,
even if he did make some mistakes.
| might have made mistakes myself.
Take, for instance, the battle of
the Argonne, the one in which the
| 35th Division won fame for Kansas
and Missouri and for the U. S. A. |
understand it is said at home that
this battle was terribly mismanaged.
I However, all must admit that we won
it, which is something surprising in a
badly managed military contest.
1t is said that the artillery did not
support the infantry, and hat after
the second day the infantry was left
without the support of the big guns.
] think that was largely true, but /
would like to say that it came from
the American spirit. 1t would have
been perfectly proper for the infan-
try to have stopped at the end of the
second day, and have dug in" and
waited for the artillery to come up.
That was the custom of the French
and Germans for a number of years,
and the Germans held the Argonne as
impregnable on that account. The
American soldiers were not good
walters. Instead of stopping a few
days, for the artillery to arrive, they
went ahead and drove the Germans
out of the fortified places, captured
their machine gun nests, and licked
them to a standstill. They went fur
ther in six days than any other di-
vision did in six weeks. Most of the
soldiers are rather proud of that rec
ord. The criticism that appealed to
me most came from a German pris-
oner with whom i talked, who said
they could have stopped the Ameri-
acn advance, if the Americans had
observed the usual rule of war and
waited for the artillery to come up.
That drive of the 35th thru the Ar
come cost several lives which were
most precious, but. it probably saved
the lives of hundred times more
by putting the fear of God into
Fritzie's heart and making him I'M
derstand that the war was about over.
| have never heard a criticism of
our artillery. The only criticism is
of our own boys who sacrificed their
lives that their country might win
the war.
The only other important criticism
that l have to make Of the American
Army in the Argonne fight is that it
broke so many rules and yet was
successful. / suggested |
to buck private friend of mine that |
it might have been better to have
waited for the artillery, and he said:
Hell! We did not come over here
to wait"
| think such spirit would be out of |
place in the German army, or in any |
other army where machine methods |
are depended upon to bring results.
But that was the spirit of the Ameri-
can Army, and as it resulted in bring
ing home the bacon l do not believe |
that my criticism will meet with as
much approval as it should.
Another thing, Our Kansas and |
Missouri soldiers who took part in
that terrible fight were not the only
ones who lost heavily, and they do
not want to be regarded as "whin-
