Everywhere the movement for bet ter roads shows increased Impetus, says the New York Times. The Im portance of highways that will stand up, as shown by the war in Europe, is recognized as one o f the contribnting causes to the growing popular interest in highway improvement. —A-number-of-tlie-states are-planning to send out good roads trains to reach the farmer at a time when he is not busy with his crops. Those actively at the head of the good roads move ment realize that the farmers, in large majority, must be drawn into the cam paign for the funds required to con struct permanent highways. A great ■missionary in'this direction is the au tomobile.'- A marked feature of the sale of automobiles for tbe last fiscal, year was tbe-number of cars that went Into the hands of farmers. Fifty per cent of the machines disposed of last year were bought by farmers. It is odcf but true that the farmer when seated in his new automobile sees the need of better roads much more read ily than when on the front‘seat of a four horse wagon hauling a load to town. ~ Railroads are co-operating with the states’ highway departments in send ing out good roads trains. One of the states that will operate a trnin of this kind is Tennessee. It will make the trip in January. Representatives of the federal as well as the state depart ment will be on board. Miniature mod els of various kinds of roads will be exhibited. At all points of community importance along tile route lectures, illustrated by moving pictures and lan tern slides, will be given. ...i* What Beíell an Ammunition Train By F. A. MlTCHEL John Brentwood of New York when the pan-European war broke out was studying aviafion;.knd, determined to go to the war in the flying; corps. /'Tie. went to England,\ where he was com missioned an aviator and was sent to Belgium. 4 . . . Brentwood became very^ expert with his machine and made many a valua ble reconnoissance for British generals, but the most valuable work he did for his side was in another line entirely, though without his aeroplane and, for that matter, without an accident to it he would not have-been in a position to accomplish the,feat.\ John was soaring one day while the enemy was making Btrenuous efforts to capture a British .position of. great value. The Germans hqd rained a hailstorm of explosives,at the position for thirty-six—hours,—then -charged—it- Thev took it. and it- was retaken and taken again several times. John was up in the air. directing the British gun ners where to ’ fire when he saw a long ammunition train beneath him moving Road Improvement In New York State. New .York towns and counties placed contracts for nearly 200 niiles of con crete streets, and roads last year, and more than 110 miles of these were com pleted during the year. Contracts were let in thirty-two counties for 2,291,95S square yards of concrete paving, suffi cient for 244 miles of sixteen foot paved surface. At the end of the year 1,320,638 square -yards had been com pleted, equivalent to 140 miles of six teen-foot-roads:—Many-of-tbe-pleees of road were put down in towns and were more than sixteen feet wide, so the ac tual mileage completed was a little more than 110. 0 Suffolk county,’ N. Y., led. with 233,- 333 square yards, or about twenty miles; Niagara county was next, with 189,474 square yards, or about eighteen miles; Erie county third, with 168,256 square yards, or fifteen miles; Catta raugus county' fourth, with twelve miles, and Chautauqua county fifth, with nine miles. Lights on Lincoln Highway. It is announced that the section of the Lincoln highway between Aurora and Geneva, 111.,- a distance of\ten miles, is to be electrically lighted ror the benefit of travelers \“at night Through the city-of. Aurora the high way Is already <- marked by colored lights, these being supplied by the local automobile club: The street car com pany Tumishes the electric power. The tOwnship/voters adjoining Sterling, III., recently passed a bond issue of $60,000 for the paving of a three’ mile, section \of the Lincoln highway; just outside of that. city. /.The roadway will be of bride, eighteen feet wide, and by July 1, ’ 1916, the entire Lincoln highway route through. the township will be paved.in the. same manner, the entire Job. coating -^225,000. tA celebration is planned-?or next 'July in honor of the fact' that this is the first Illinois com- mnnity to complete paving Its part of the-national road. Toward that part of “the“German line which was engaged. Signaling the ‘fact and its location, it was bombard ed, with the result that a number of the men operating it were killed. While he was looking ’at- the train something gave way in the machinery of his aeroplane,-and-he-began. to_drop. He succeeded in starting up again just before landing, and this saved his life. He fell in' a thicket of low growth bordering a creek, and before the Ger mans came up to seize bis machine he succeeded in getting away from it and hiding under some* rocks. It was not long, however, before he heard voices nearing him and conclud ed that he had better move on. for he was doubtless being hunted; Hearing the hissing of a locomotive, he knew he was near the ammunition train he had seen. He climbed'up the bank’, and, sure enough, there within n hun dred feet of him was the engine stand ing on the track without any odo visi ble In the cab. John made up bis mind to a bold dash. Running to the. locomotives, be mounted to the cab: and there lay the engineer mutilated. He had been kill ed by a shell fragment.- Tlie-missiles were still coming so thick that John did not expect to live very long him self. He determined to take that train away from where its freight was es peclally needed. He knew very little about a locomotive; but, always having been fond of machinery, knew enough to back up. This he did. slowly at first; but, gathering impetus, and then reaching a decline in the grade, he moved quite rapidly. • He saw on offl. cer galloping toward him, frantically waving his sword, doubtless ns a sig nal for him to stop, but by this time John was going as fast as the rider and paid no attention to him. A switch had been left open, and the result was that two-thirds of the train was dump ed into the creek. This caused a halt, and John knew that it was time to get out before any one could reach him. It occurred to him that the best chance for him was to hide under the engine. He succeed ed in getting there in time to escape detection. A few minutes later there was a babel of vplces about him—offi cers, soldiers and train hands shouting and’ gesticulating. Finding the engi-’ neer’s body in the cab. they supposed thdt he’ had been running the engine, and his being killed had caused all' the trouble. It occurred to John that if he could reach a point where the overturned cars'Vere in the creek he might find a more j>ermanent hiding place. Waiting till, the crowd had left the engine he peeped and saw that the car next back of him wag leaning against underbrush. He- succeeded in getting jfrom under the locomotive to this car without be ing seen, and then it was an easy mat ter to wriggle »through the brush and down to the creek. John was in the enemy’s line, but there was no necessity for him to be suspected of wreckingThe ammunition train. The chances of his getting back to’ his comrades were slight, and be made up his mind to surrender him self when be could do so without ex citing any especial. suspicion. He re- - mained In the creek till night made his hiding more effective; then crawled up on to the opposite bank of the creek from tbe wrecked train. All was still except periodic booms There was no evidence of any one be ing near him, and it occurred to him to take his chances of getting into the Britishlines.— This -would-necessitate- hls approaching the German trenches from the rear, since the two forces were facing each other and very near, together. Advancing, he soon came to the German Trenches. He walked over one of Them-without their suspecting bis riot being one of them and maneu vered among the trees and brush till he. suspected the’ position of the Brit ish.
