through Canada to Windsor or Sar- mia to connect with Detroit. These roads are in first class condition.
 The propose trans-Canada route from the Soo will skirt Lake Su- perior to Port Arthur and follow the Canadian National Railway line to Winnipeg. It will connect with the northern route. Ferguson high way, near Lake Eipigon.
 Across the states
 At present the route enters the Gnited States from Sault Ste. Marie. The quickest way into Canada again is by way of Duluth to Emerson. Minn.. on the Jefferson highway, a straight road from the Gulf of Mex ico 10 Winnipeg.
 Across the prairies there is an excellent road 10 Regina, touching at Brandon, Manitoba. Much of this road is built of gumbo, a black clay, which is very good in dry weather. but bad in wet weather. In Manitoba it is now grayeled to make it better for wet weather. while farther west in Alberta a coat ing of tar and sand has proven sub stantial.
 At Regina there is again a choice of roads. The northern road leads 10 Saskatoon. Edmonton and Jas per national park. This road is not yet finished. From Jasper park it will lead through the Rocky Noun tains 10 Hope. E. C.. and then to Vancouver.
 O,er the Rn'kies
 The more travelled road runs from Regina to Medicine Hat, Cal gary. Ranff and Lake Louise. one of the beauty spots Of the continent. Down the Windermhre valley, thru the Rock Mountains the motor trail leads. Fast Kootenay lake, Cram brook. then kushonool. where a 65- mile ferry brings the car to Nelson. Eventually this ferry will be done away with.
 Nelson is near the border Of Washington, and the road leads along the boundary 10 Osoyoos, then up to Fenticton, in a round about way to Lytton, at the head of the Fraser canyon. At the bottom of the canyon is Hope. and from there to Vancouver is a straight trail.
 There are two tunnels in British Columbia through which motor traffic has to pass. They are at Lyt- ton and at Hope.
 At Vancouver the Pacific highway connects, thus giving a. good road to san Francisco. Los Angeles and San Dlego.

CASTING DOUBT ON
 WASHINGTON STORY
lconoclasts Attack Event Con-
 nected With Wethelsheld House

The "revisionist" historians have begun to work on American history and much of the lustrc surrounding one of the famous old Connecticut landmarks. the Webb house in We,hersfielu, seems in danger ot being taken away by their findings. At this mansion. now owned by the Daughters of the American Eevolu- ton. it is claimed that Washington and the French commanders planned the Yorktown campaign which ended the Revolutionary war, but serious doubts have now been cast upon this assertion. Connecticut his, orians insist that it is a fact and that it is treason 10 deny il. but outside writers are not willing to grant the truth of it and professors of history in Connecticut colleges are now risking the wrath of patri- otic organizations by discredtng til. story,
 The conference al Wuthcrsticld IS an historic fact and is admitted by both sides. Washington, General
 
 rived there on May 19, 11S1. and were joined on the following day by Governor Jonathan Trnmbull, with whom they attended church. The French commanders, kochambcau and chestellcuX. arrived on the Fist and this array Of military command CTS went into conference at the I,I and Col $. R. Curiously enough. this house was next to that of Silas Deane in which Col. Ethan Aliens Ticonderoga expedition was mapped out.
 This much IS known. Just what occurred at the conference is still a matter of controversy. The standard Connecticut authorities give the fol- lowing version:
 The British General Clinton was entrenchcd at New York city, while .tornwallis, supported by an English fleet, was ravaging the southern colonies. A French fleet was bottled mp at Newport. l.. l., and of no use 10 the 4,Oo0 French soldiers who were tllCdIllttu Il'lN. 1lo Aoibi''hli' CT, Count dc Barras, was unable 10 attend the Wethersfield meeting. \ second French fleet. under Count de Grasse. was in southern waters.
 Eochambeau. the local historians say, wanted southern campaign but Washington. fearing junction of Clinton and CornWallis. preferred 10 make a demonstration against the defender of New York and then slip away to join Lafayette in campaign against Corn"allls. This was decided upon. The French marched from Newport, and No'un- teers were gathered from Connecti- cut and other New England states The plan worked, Clinton being fooled, and then the Franco Amer ican force fell upon Cornwallis at Yorktown and compelled his sur render.
 That is the story as told by loyal Connecticut hist orians. There is just one thing the matter with it. ac- cording to the revisionists-it wasn't possible. In order 10 make cam paign against torn"allis and his

supporting fleet, the assistance of de Grasses French squadron was nec- essary. and the army commanders
 had no exact knowledge of its
 whereabouts. On May 2l. the new | historians state, the Yorktown cam palgn received some consideration, | but. lacking information of the whereabouts of de Grasse. all com
 manders agreed upon jointly attack
 Ing Clinton in New York and at 1 tempting to force the evacuation of that important city. 4 fleet was not
 Nltally necessary for this campaign. In July Washingon received word from Lafayette that Cronwallis had hlundered and was in dangerous | position in Virginia. Should a French fleet enter Hampton Roads" '"
 Lafayette wrote. the British army would he compelled to surrender The Franco armies at this tune We're encamped outside of New
 York and seemed intent upon at 1 lacking that city.
 The minutes of the Wethcrsficld
 meeting had been sent to de GraSSe, and suddenly. on August l4. fris- ate of that aimiral's fleet arrived
 off New York with the news that de Grasse was sailing for Chcsa . peake bay. The commanders went on shipboard and at a nasty confer cnce decided to transfer the scene of operations southward. On August g the American army crossed tho Hudson aud hast"n"d by forced marches against CornWalIis. On Sep
 temher ] Washington learned tha, de Grasse had entered the Chesa-
 peakc, and on October j the june tion with Lafayette was effected and the siege of Yorktown begun, cul- minating in the surrender of Corn , wallis on the 11th.
 It thus appears that the state ment of one historian that the Wethersfield confcrenc"l 'marlted l the turning point of the war" is a triflc exaggerated Yet that hardly
 destroys the historical value of the Webb house and of the gathering therein, for. while it seems that the
 Yorktown campaign could not have been planned there, cooperation be- tween French and Americans vas established and the beginning of joint actions which finally led to the
 achievement of independence was
 effected.
 That much glory remains to Con
 necticnt bat for even that if had to
 pay dearly, for hon Clinton finally
 became aware that Washington had
 left him he tried to draw the
 American general back by sending
 the turncoat, Benedict Arnold in the
 raid upon New London which re-
 suited in the massacre at Fort Gris-
 wold on September 6. But Washing
 ton was not to he turned from his
 purpose, and the men who fell at
 Groton did not make their sacrifice
 in vain for Arnold's raid was futile.

 American motorists have discovered that Canada has good roads besides fine scenery, Thousa ands have yet to
 learn they can cross the continent

 made up of the various provincial
 highways joined together. straight

 lninion to the other. From this
 main artery run hundreds of feeder
 roads to the United States. to re-
 mote mountain and lake fastnesses.
 to wilderness and summer resorts. Halifax. Nova Scotia. on the At lantic seaboard. is the starting
 point From Halifax the road leads by way of Truro to Moncton, New Brunswick, where it branches into two sections, Through Nova Scotia there are numerous signs such as will be placed along the whole , route. showing tho directions 10 Vancouver and to Halifax.
 Along Coast or Border
 Both sections from Monc'on lead to RiNicre du Loup in Quebec. One branch follows the Atlantic coast and the outer boundary of the province. The other road runs along 1 the border near Maine. passing through St. John, where the Bos-
 ton-Ncw York road joins.
 Then there is once more only one
 road across Canada. huggipg the south shore of the S, Lawrence
 river to Lewis. opposite the citadel Of old Quebec. 4 ferry takes the car across at this point 10 roman

 Down the St. Lawrence north shore past quaint old French Cana dian towns, the road l"a ds 10 Mon treal Montreal to Sault Ste. Mari, IS the next step along the Canadian highway. This route leads through Ottawa, the federal capital along th" Ottawa river, skirting Algon- du'n National park. through North Ray and Sudbury. to the Soo.
 New Highway Begun
