After several sessions of the city commission at which the riy- er road proposition has been under consideration, the __ commissioners have definitely agreed to repair the old section line road at a cost esti- mated about $500, _Lack of funds to establish a new highw. possibility of a change in the location of a railroad crossing and the fact that it is cheaper to repair the old section line road than to cre- ate a new highway 100 feet south of the proposed road, are reasons which prompted the commission in its ac- tion. The new road would have con- nected with Kossar\street. No “Horse-Play” in Matter. Questioned tHjs piorning as to state- ments made that: there has been con- siderable “bhorse-play” on the part of the commission in reaching a definite conclusion as to the road, Commis- sioner Battey stated, “We're. going ahead as fast as possible.” He ex- plained that several gf the commis- sioners have been out; of the city of late, but that there wads no ‘necessity for hurried action in view of the fa that no work @an be done until April or May. -.

CERMAN NATION ~ AROUSED OVER WUSONS AGT Censor Prevents Any News of Popular Demonstrations Reaching Papers FIERY SPEECHES AGAINST PRESIDENT (United Press.) _ Berne, Switzerland, Feb, 15.—Ger- man censorship cut an important jok- er out of the treaty which the Ger- man authorities attempted to force Ambassador Gerard to sign before he could leave Germany. The joker does not show in Berlin dispatches, outlin- ing the treaty.- The strict censorship which has concealed the real developments of the war did not permit this joker to be published. It was after reading the stipulation that Ambassador Ger- ard, as has been related in other United Press dispatches from Berlin, told Count Montegals, for transmis- sion to Foreign Secretary Zimmer- mann, that he would not even consid- er the treaty, but would remain in Germany until kingdom come. Some of the developments which have been withheld by the censor are: The 3 merican speeches in the fiery re! tag. Fiery attacks upon President Wil- son. Frequent statements by army and navy officers that the United States cause the country was unneutral, Before: Ambassador Gerard and \Sec- retary Grew left Berlin, German offl- cials ‘requested them not to allow the American newspaper correspondents in their party to telegraph develop- ments to the United States which the Jerman censt might not approve.
