The Psychology Of War is a
peculiar thing. A German sea cap
tain, on a goodwill tour around
the world, stopped at San Fran
cisco not long ago. He called on
the Mayor who during the World
war had shipping interests. The
genial mayor dined the captain
and treated him cordially, even
after being told by the captain
that the later had been instru-
mental in sinking two of the
mayors ships in 1918. We have
the word of the captain for this,
but regardless of accuracy of the
report, the incident shows how
views can change from times of
war to times Of peace. Probably
the mayor figures that V has
gone is gone. and the captain
reasons that what's sunk might

Six Grade Crossings on
Lincoln Way Are to Go

Officials of the Union Pacific Rail-
road company have reached an agree
ment with the Nebraska state high
way department which will permit the
Strengthening of the Lincoln highway
between Columbus and Grand Island
In such a way as to eliminate six Of
the seven grade crossings now on the
transcontinental route between the
two cities.
Four of the crossings which are to
be eliminated are in Platte county and
two In Merrick county. The one re-
naming grade crossing over the Union
Pacific tracks will be in Columbus and
later viaduct or underpass will prob-
ably have to be constructed.
The three-year program outlined by
the Lincoln Highway association Of
Nebraska, headed by George F. WOLF,
state consul for the national associa-
ton, includes the construction Of via
ducts or underpasses on the Lincoln
way and the Union Pacific railroad in
Fremont, Grand Island and North
Platte, as well as Columbus. 1t Is I'M
derstood that this program has the
enthusiastic backing of State Engineer
Roy Cochran. Work on the straight
ening of the Lincoln highway was
started this spring.

Ohio Repair Program Is
to Cost Immense Amount

OF upwards of $25,0O0000 to be
spent this year on Ohio's state high
ways, approximately $9,O00000 will b.
expended for maintenance and repair
including resurfacing and widening
which brings forcibly to the minds of
the highway engineers that there Is
no such thing as permanent road
Eternal vigilance Is the price of
good highway, road engineers have
found, and no matter what the type
constant attention and repeated re
pairs are necessary. Continued freez
ing and thawing during the past win
ter have placed an extraordinary
strain on the highway pavements, &C.
cording to State Highway Director
Schlesinger, and much work will be
required before many of the high
ways will be in 1irst-class condition
for summer travel. Many of the pave
menta must be patched and many
cracks must be filled.
Of the $14,000,000 or S15,000,000 to
be spent on new construction this
year, part of the money will come
from the state, part from the federal
government and part from the coun.
ties.
