ROADS TO BREAK
 JAP DOMINATION

PEKING, July 8.-While the Shan tung problem remains unsolved and the Japanese occupation of areas Germany formerly controlled contin- ues, a means to oppose the Japan csc has been worked out along economic lines by Gnu Ting kuang Governor of the province.
 Gnu Ying-kuang, who aas come to be regarded by foreigners of the Far East as one of Chinas greatest administrative figures, has launched the daring project of building with in Shantung great system of high ways to be used by an automobile truck service in connecting all i'm portant centers. As a corallary. he plans to deepen and improve water ways so that these roads and streams will afford to Chinese of the Province a transportation sys- tenn that will place them on an equal footing with the Japanese who now control channels of com munication.
 Under the direction of TT and En-liand, a graduate of Purdue Uni versity, who has been made director of the newly created Bureau of Roads and Waterways in Shantung. active surveying work in connec- ton with the project has been started out of Asian and present plans contemplate the building of 1900 miles of highways and the deepening of the Hsiao Ting River The purpose is to weave all i'm Dortant cities of the province into l unified transportation system
 Under existing conditions many of these cities, as for example the port of Chefoo. are hamstrung econ )mically by the lack of adequate transportation facilities The Chin ase hope the plan will break the backbone of Japan's economic dom ination in Shantung.
 Governor Chus proposed motor road system touches the sea at three points, Lung K'ou, Chefoo and Hai Yang and connects with the Tientsin and Pukow railroad at | point not yet determined. The whole road system is made up of seven trunk highways connected by 10 branch highways.

 Hospital training schools of the United States have reached a high state of efficiency and hospitals and new systems for nursing the sick in their homes are arising every where;,' Mrs. Hansen said, "but the necessary pupils fail to appear. The country needs another Florence Nightingale"
