To the Editor OF Tho Times Dispatch.
Sir,-Certainly some influence has
Deen oxerted against county and city
tLeaSurers. that is revealing itself in
take the matter Of joint State and
county road funds. A county treasurer
IS required to receive and disburse this
fund. He must pay this money out on
joint State and county warrants Keen
his records. make his settlements. nay
Tor his bond and otherwise incur re-

IS aiiowed tho extravagant fee of one
iourth OF l per cent on that half OF
the joint fund which comes from tho

ceives IS fee. But / mention this
merely in passing. The new Baker dog
law ~ what moves me to complain
onder It's provisions the commission
ers OF the revenue are required to list
the dogs whose owners come forward
and report them. The commissioner
in his Office 10 call for their dogs. He
simply records the name of the owner
and tho number of dogs he reports
That completes his work.
Tho treasurer must do the same
thing. But in addition he must keep
a big bundle OF metal tags and big

of tho applicant-$1 for male and IS
for female dogs-dcliver n second tag
and receipt upon payment of IS cents
to the game warden oil dogs (prn-
sumably listed dogs) that have no tags;
take care of this tedious fund; disburse
IL on numerous warrants; keep his ac-
counts and make his settlements with
the Board Of Supervisors.
For the services rendered by these
two officers the treasurer can receive
never moro than per cent. and some
times less, on tho fund disbursed On
the very same fund the commissioner
of the revenue received, In the Ian

MANY EUROPEANS LEAVE STATES FOR
 LANDS OF BIRTH

NEW YORK.-Nearly one million foreign-born laborers have left the United States for Europe since the armistice was signed, and one mill ion more will depart as soon as passport regulations are made less strict, according to a statement is- sued here by the Inter-Racial Coun- cil, of which General Coleman d;l Pont is chairman.
 Tens of thousands of aliens are reported to be giving up their jobs preparatory to returning to their home lands, 1t was said, and many of these, "as the result of racial prejudices, will take back with them stories about America which will make this country less attractive to immigrants"
 "The independence that has been granted the countries of Europe" it was stated, land the fact that thirty million persons. women large ly, are drawing aid from their gov ernments in the form of pensions, are factors which detract from the incentive heretofore existing for for eigners to seek their fortunes in the United States"
 A nationwide educational move ment among thirty nationalities in this country, having for its purpose the endeavor to adjust the foreign born to American life," has been undertaken by the council, which has held numerous conferences with leading representatives of each race. More than 400 industrial and finan- cial organizations of the country are said to be interested in the council. which advocates "a liberal attitude on the part of the public toward immigration" as a result of the reported unskilled labor short age. -..

But the secret of true Victory lies in

That can neOer be mistaken and can
never be passed by.

SuOuiU, liC SOHuduO diAuCiO Ids just
been completed and offers everything you can
wish ;every indoor comfort, tennis, golf, and
a glorious three miles of surf within twenty
steps of the door. The same company oper-
ates the Coamo Springs hotel, which is four
hours by automobile from San Juan, place
where water really rivals our own Hot
Springs. Many who have been there have
told me that it is "the quietest place in Porto
Rico" 1t has high reputation and deserves
it.
The Spaniards long ago faced the pro-
blem of building roaJs in Porto Rico.
Through good engineers and good labor,
they managed to establish most creditable
route from San Juan to Ponce, something
less than one hundred miles. In the twenty
years that have elapsed since we took over
the Island, that has been increased to twelve
hundred miles of delightful surfaced roads.
When one considers that the island is about
forty miles broad by slightly more than one
hundred in length, high credit must go to
the Insular Government which has done this
work and keeps the network in very good
repair. Naturally, there is constant work
going on, but the stretches are never long
and traffic is almost never diverted.
A delightful drive of two hours along
the north shore from San Juan brings one
through Fajardo and Humacao on the
eastern end. If there are more delightful
city squares than these two cities present, l
missed them. This is shore road with little
difficult driving. There are constant curves,
circling El Yunque, the highest peak, sliding
under cocoanut groves, with constant
glimpses of surf which sometimes comes
within twenty yards of your wheels.
Another two hours of rather harder
and more difficult road following the Mill
tary Road across the Island brings Cayey
into view after climbing nearly two thousand
feet. Here is small barracks and a new
wireless tower just erected. 1t has a repu-
tation for six hundred feet, but it is doubt
full if that is true. Certainly it is massive
affair, and wartime censorship has prevented
many facts from becoming public. This
road is one of the prettiest offered by the
Island, though many will quarrel with that
statement. Suffice it to say that it is through
a delightful country, and has one stretch
which is unexcelled when the famboyant
trees are in bloom with a veritable riot OF
vermilion and green.
From Cayey there are several possibili-
ties. My particular choice is to cross the
Island directly to Guayama and then skirt
the southern, or Caribbean shore for thirty
miles of level road through irrigated cane
fields to Ponce. Then cut back into the
Island again through the home of Luis
Munoz Rivera, which is popular summer.
ing place -Barranquitas. Just beyond this
city there is another fork for choice: to the
right and through Aibonito, another very
popular high spot, or take the left, and, afte,
