road tracks clear.
officials connected with highway
work anticipate prompt response to
this appeal. They report a decided
increase in the interest of the public
on this matter of prompt removal of
snow from highways, not only to meet
the necessity of keeping all sources
of supply and communication in eff
fective operation, but as means of
protecting the public's investment in
roads.
If there were little or no demand
for traffic during snow weather, high
way authorities state the cost of snow
removal would be justified. Snow
melting on the roadbeds tends to soft
en- the subgrade and l0osens the base
under the wearing surface. Evil
dences Of these damages may be seen
after heavy SHOWS In the late winter
and early spring.
When snow is not removed on trunk
highways, traffic gradually breaks its
way through when thaw begins. The
traffic will create one or two sets Of
ruts or tracks. The constant track
ing in the same rut produces disas-
trous results to the read surface, max
ing repairs difficult and expensive.

"The great rule of conduct for us in regard
to foreign nations is In extending our commercial
relations to have with them little political con
nection as possible. SO far as we have already
formed engagements let them be fulfilled with
perfect good faith Here let us stop.
Europe has a set of primary interests which
to us have none or very remote relation Hence
she must be engaged in frequent controversies
the causes of which are essentially foreign to our
concerns Hence therefore, 1t must be unwise in
us to impIcate ourselves by artificial ties In the

London.-The speeches with when

and Liberals, respectively. NO notapie

( speeches.

lint refused to be drawn by the other
sneakers on the topic Of revising GER
tain unavoidable" features Of the
peace treaty.
-, Dealing with the burning question
of economy, the premier recommend
ed the familiar specific needs OF IN
creased production. His remarks on
ireland gave no new information re-
garding the measure which Is soon
to be introduced.
Col. Sidney Peel, Coalition Unionist'
swho made the reply to the address
from the throne, said: ut will be a
'gfievous disappointment to us II the
United States finds itself unable to
take part in the work of reconstruc-
ton. But she must be master IN her
own house, as we are in ours"
Sir Donald Maclean, urging revi-
sion of the peace treaty, said; one
of the essentials of the guarantee was
the fact, when the opposition agreed
ito it, that the signature of the presi-
dent of the United States was append
ed. It does not now look as though
this is going to be honored."
8. Dealing at length with the situation
in Russia, Mr. Lloyd-George said he
agreed with the view that Europe
could not be restored without putting
Russia, with all her strength and re-
sources into circulation"
:. Bolshevism was possibly efficient,
said the premier, but it was not dem
ocracy, and Russia must be restored
under an anti-Bolshevik regime.
"Bolshevism cannot be crushed by
force of arms" continued the pre-
mier 81 held that opinion year
ago, but my advice, rendered on that
assumption to the warning factions,
was declined. 1t was necessary to give
the anti-Bolshevists chance to re-

failure was not due to lack of equip
ment, but to more fundamental
causes"

President Grover Cleveland said:

policy of "non-intervention when, in his speech

dedication of the monument of Commodore John

In this nationwide debate George Washington
has received many eloquent appreciation. One
Of the finest was contained in address by Sem I;
ator Borah of Idaho on the treaty in the senate
In November of 1910. He said, among other
things: ~
