Clergyman Who Criticized Princess

Brussels Belgium, Aug 80 CUP
"A priest who criticized Princess
Astrid because he considered her
skirts too short has been challenged
to a duel by q member OF the Bel

The challenge so far has gone un-

the Belgian clerical newspaper. lie

challenger who took offense was not
revealed.
Princess Astrid. Of Sweden, is the
wife of Crown Prince Leopold of
Belgium.
The general public was more IN

skirts simply conform to the mod

Astrid is expected to give birth to
another child shortly.
The article criticizing her said
that photograph taken at recent
public ceremony in Mons showed
her seated with her skirts reaching
just above her knees. The writer
said:
The radiant beauty of the prin-

without the addition OF such a piece
of trivial daring.
The example coming from the
throne. or even the steps OF the

S71MSON EXPLAINS
 WHY MARINES ARE
 NOW IN NICARAGUA
(Continued from First Pase)

Nicaragua by U. g. marines is at the request of the NicaraEuan govern meut for supervision of their 1898 elections.
 3-Augustino sandino. the Nicara- qua rebel leader against whose forces U. S. marines now arc fight ing. is a bandit. according to stim- son. not patriot.
 A-Our Panama Canal interests require that Central American gov- ernmenta shall Do adequate to pro- tect the rights Of foreigners and thus avoid danger of foreign inter- vention.
 What is the responsibility of the United States in tho present Nicara- guan situation?" the United Press asked.
 stimson said that was fully cover- ed in his book American Policy in Nicaragua" The book says:
 American Interosts
 The national safety of our own country has imposed upon us . pe- cuiiar interest in guarding from for eign influence the vital sea route through the Caribbean sea and the Panama Canal and therefore in see- inE to 1t that no cause for foreign intervention may arise along the borders of that route. To protect this interest we are excluding foreign na- ton from exercising even we'll recognized rights of redress against Central American and Caribbean re- publics whose territory commands that route. and in consequence we have incurred an obligation to zee that these foreign nations arc pro- tected against injury arising from the failure of those American re- publics in the exercise of their re- sponsible duties as independent na- tions."
 The second question was: What is the status of sandino? Is he ban- dit or revolutionist? What are his aims in opposing the existing Nicaraguan government and the U. s. forces?"
 Thinks Sandino . Bandit
 Y have never met Sandino." Stimson said. Tn my book I quote q abatement as to his character made by his former commander, General Moncada. leader of the former revo- lutionists under whom Sandino served and tho present official di- rector of the liberal party in Nicara- qua. From statements thus made and from other statements made by Moncada to me, 1t is my view that Sandino's record has been one of in- discriminate pillage upon both lib- erals and conservatives alike; that he is in no sense patriotic support CT Of a cause but that he came to Nicaragua after the revolution be- gan solely for the purpose of the loot for which it offered him an op- portunity.
 ''He had not been in Nicaragua during the preceding 22 years, as I am informed"
 Gen. M0ncada's Views
 What General Moncada thought of Sandino is related in the book:

and thus avoid the danger of foreign intervention."
 Question four: "Wili American occupation of Nicaragua be neces- sary for an indefinite time? If not, for how long?"
 StimSon said: Our present ocou- patton of Nicaragua, 70 fa, as the settlement which negu.i; |; L II concerned. is predicted by the re- quest of tho Nicaraguan government for our supervision of the election which comes in the autumn Of 1923, Both the Nicarasuan government and the opposition party united in requesting the presence of our ma. rines until that election was over and stated that they agreed that . fair election was impossible without the presence of the marines.

FEDERAL ROAD BUILDING PLAN
;, ON GIGANTIC SCALE PROPOSED
= IN BILL BEFORE u. S. CONGRESS

WASHINGTON Jan. 28-A bill
authorizing the creation of a special
highway fund, providing a total OF
$407 341 ,145, to be allotted among the
states in the same proportion as the
federal aid funds authorized each year,
was introduced in the house today by
Congressman Edward E. Browne OF
Wisconsin
The unique feature Of the measure,
which is sponsored by the American
Motorists association, is that it does
not add one dollar to the burden of
the taxpayers of the United States.
The bill providing for the utilization
of this huge sum for highway con-
struction, is in addition to the $685.
100000 federal aid bill already intro
duced in both the house and senate,
which is known as the federal aid bill.
The sum provided in the measure is
to be obtained by the repayment Of
French bonds issued after the war
covering an invoice of approximately
$2,000,000,000 worth Of property in
Guiding road building machinery which
was ordered in June, 1919, by the war
department to be turned over to the
agricultural department. to be proper
toned among the states for use in
highway construction. Bonds totaling
$400, 100000 mature on Aug. l., 1929,
the remainder one year later.
Before the war departments order
for the return of the equipment was
received in France, negotiations had
already gone too far for the sale OF
the property to France, at approxi-
mately 20 cents on the dollar. The
intent on the part of the government,
however, was that it should be used
by the states in highway construction.
and this intent can still be carried
out by favorable action on the Browne
bill.
Insofar as the states are concerned,
the provisions of the measure are
even more liberal than the federal aid
program, in that it provides that the
states are not compelled to pay as
their share of highway construction a
sum to exceed 20 per cent of the cost
of the construction Of the roads from
this fund.-" Mr.. Browne declared.
eve have placed too much OF the
cost of road construction upon the
states and they in return upon the
county unit, the counties in many IN
stances having to pay one-third or
more of the cost of roads which serve
the entire nation and this tax burden
has helped to, put the farmer where
he is" the author declared.
The measure will have the undivided
support of the motorists of the United
States, in the opinion Of j. Burton
weeks, president Of the American
Motorists association '"The bill should
PASS because it is economically sound
srd because it does not add to the
taxuayer's burden. The most colossal
waste in the history Of the United
States is that due to the operation
cf the 2s,oOO,OOO automobiles Of the
country over roads mostly unfit for
their use. This waste can be stopped
by good highways. Under this g
measure highway construction can
proceed five times as fast as it is
now progressing" Mr. Weeks declares
aDue. to road conditions" says DR..
S. M. johnson, chairman of the good
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-29

roads board of the American Motor
lists association, I'VE are losing more
than go per cent of the value of the
main factor of progreSS-the automo-
bile Railway service is about 100 per
cent efficient, because the almost
mechanical perfection of the rolling
stock is supplemented by an almost
perfect track on which to operate.
Speed, safety and comfort are thus
secured and men and goods are moved
faster at less cost than ever before"
''The Browne bill will do the SEEM
ingly impossible. 1t will get good
roads without increasing the taxes.
The government of France owes the
United States $407,O00,0OO for mer-
chandise purchased after the war and
to be paid for in 1929 and 1880. This
indebtedness is totally different from
the war loans, as it was purely
commercial transaction, entered into
for profit. The Browne bill proposes
to set apart the proceeds of this sale
as a special highway fund.-" DR.. john
son points out.
A tentative draft of the bill, sent by
the American Motorists association to
governors, state highway department
heads and representative chambers of
commerce and prominent editors, in
dicate that it will be strongly sup
ported throughout the country, the
response being mostly favorable. Out
standing publications, such as the Sat-
urday Evening Post, have endorsed it
editorially.
Following is the sum which each
state will get under the federal aid
allotment program as. proposed in the
measure:

Texas ................ .$21 ,g37,50O
Pennsylvania ......................... l6,160,625
