NEW PAVEMENTS TEMPTING

A warning against speeding on
the concrete is especially timely
just now, when short stretches of
new pavement are being opened
here and there throughout the state
and others will be opened as they
are completed from time to time
during the summer.
When new pavement is opened.
says Highway bulletin, there are
always few drivers who are
tempted to try it out and see what
their cars will do on smooth and
solid road. Accidents have been
frequent after the opening of pave
ments in former years.
In some cases payements are
opened before shouldering is COM
pleted, which creates an added haz-
ard. After shoulders are finished,
it will be several weeks before they
are solid and safe. But undue
speed is always dangerous on any
road.
Instead of trying to see how fast
they can go, drivers are urged to
follow this rule: Keep your car un-
der control SO that you can al
ways stop in the clear space ahead"

Washington History
BY DONALD A. cRAIos

April 8, 1S05.--Gen. Grant and Gen.
Lee have exchanged messages during
the last "a hours upon the subject
of the possible surrender Of the Army
Of Northern Virginia. This became
known here tonight following the re-
ceipt by the War Department Of tele-
grams from the front.
Gen. Grant yesterday sent message
to Gen. Lee, in which he said that
''the result of the last week must con-
vince you Of the hopelessness Of further
resistance on the part Of the Army Of
Northern Virginia in this struggle"
IT feel" Grant added, "that it is so,
and regard 1t as my duty to shift from
myself the responsibility Of any further
edusion of blood by asking Of you the
surrender Of that portion Of the Con-
federate Army known as the Army Of
Northern Virginia"
Gen. Lee replied that though not
entirely of the opinion you express Of
the hopeleSsness of the further re-
Sistance on the part Of the Army OF
Northern Virginia, I reciprocate your
desire to avoid useless effusion Of blood,
and, therefore, considering your propo-
sition, ask the terms you will offer on
condition Of its surrender"
Today Grant sent word to Lee that
as peace was his first desire" he
would insist on only one condition
that the men surrendered shall be
disqualified for taking up arms against
the Government of the United States
until properly exchanged" He then
offered t. meet Lee to arrange definite
terms.
Replying to this offer, Lee said he
did not intend to propose the surrender
OF the Army Of Northern Virginia, but
to ask the terms of your proposition"
ITO be frank" continued Lee, 81 do
not think the emergency has arisen to
call for the surrender of this army, but
as the restoration of peace should be
the sole object of all I desire to know
whether your proposals would tend to
that end"
Gen. Lee concluded this communica-
ton by agreeing to meet Gen. Grant
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock ION
the old stage road to Richmond be-
tween the picket lines of the two
armies" to discuss the question of peace.
To this communication Gen. Grant
replied that, as he had no authority
to treat on the subject of peace" the
proposed meeting could Iced to no
good" He again expressed the hope,
however, that further bloodshed might
be averted.
The opinion prevails in military
circles here that Gen. Lee will agree
to meet Gen. Grant tomorrow to dis
cusS terms of surrender aS proposed
by the Union commanding general.
