The ease of travel over a good road inclines j people to venture forth and see wnai is at the end of the road. With Wil mington helping to get good roads of the State, and LI U1U v v "- making things attractive Ior pe"P,B fend tg handle the traffic and the ex who come &wn the good roads, Wil- tending roa(js encourage more traffic, mingtpn folks are going to see more J an(J endless chain goes on. of the rest of the folks, and in turn, , : nimimrinn fnlks are going to see more of the rest "of the State. In these days you can't start to talk about much of anything without in a short time getting around to good roads. Roads From Everywhere. The roads to Wilmington from every where will settle the question from row on without much outside effort. Tlu road that you and 1 and the rest! of the State will be interested in from now on, is far as Wilmington is con cerned, is one that will gather into one road the three that come into the "city c vwicrhf cvillo Roarh Vnrt Fishr. uu.m Z " and bouinpori ana t w.u will head out tnrougn tne nign grouna at New River Inlet I that will bring up and Jacksonville. From there it will get over to Swansboro and Bogue SoundrHnding a way into Carteret to Morehead and Beaufort. It will Keep on out along Core Sound, and the south shores of Pamlico and the tidewater .of the Neuse, arid then around by New Bern and all the various ins and outs of Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds to J the boundary line of the btatb This scheme of roads sounds a little bit far in the future, but compare fne south of New lork with enough eieva prospect with the prospect of any roads j vaf ion obove the water to dram the ten years ago. and see how far it isjstrpets in a rain storm. Wilmington from unlikely. The truth is the peo-iis built on hills which is one of its pie have discovered that good roads j big advantages in attracting visitors, are not. hard- to build. Good roads I A hill is always picturesque, es- have been found valuable, and from ' now on the good road is the custom, j not the exception. As soon as we have! established the most essential roads j for direct traffic between the centers j of population we will see that we can j ertablish a great gridironof roads to; connect all points that have an in terest, whether commercial or other wise. Then we will awake to the fact that our road building movement only ra:ed when it undertook to connect iixu If i Jiiiiai luuuoii tai auu win . mercial centers. Lvery man who goes down from the interior of the State to places along the coast goes back home possessed of the idea that he has discovered an unknown corner of his State. Ev- ery man who comes from the North and takes a ride through the good roads of Eastern North Carolina flat ters himself that he has done a Teddy Rocsevelt job in finding an overlook- ed area of the geography, for it is a ! fact that in the North the idea has just bngun to get abroad that the tar, j turpentine and rosin belt is anything else than a red space on a map in, some old atlas about half remembered, Buried in Heaven ; Some years ago one of the unregen- ' rates back in God's country filed his complaint because I moved mv house-, sold bunch to North Carolina as he said "to bury them."

And that is the J way it Is working. - ' . The roads are coming to Wilmirig ton now because roads re going ev erywhere from everywhere, but also because Wilmington is doing so many thinirs to make the city and the neigh- bcrhr od a pleasant place to put' in a j day or a week or any old time, that folks are compelling the roads, to ex After a while the road system of the whole coast, country Will e so com plete that every little and big outing cove and bay and inlet will be acces sible. Before that time has come the linn of traffic up the sounds and on the cr3eks and rivers will be carrying pas sengers. They will begin to insist on conveniences for water journeys. The opportunities for such things are so extensive and so varied all along the ocean line -from Virginia to South Carolina that visitors will insist on utilizing the chances.

Yet. to me Wilmington looks like the ifpital of a country that in time will be in a great measure given up to the work:of entertaining visitors.

It is far I enough north to get a favorable cli- .mate and it is one of the few ports pecially a hill in a flat country like ) the coastal plain of Eastern America, j I do not know whether the people; of Wilmington are planning with an eye to p great resort town in the f u- j turo. or if they are simply trying to make of their city a place in which they will find delight for themselves But in either event they are laying ! the foundations of what is bound to grow into a popular vacation headqua- ters. and as the proposition works it. , dcu wui tur l-ilj ttiii uiiiiac no au w ail j i empnauc oroaaening or tne 'ff at tne beaches is an ndication , j that tJ!eis!a?ldeilfeat,uf l8 thoroughly 'appreciated Dy tne Wilmington ioiks. and that they are getting ready to meet !the demands that will be made on 'them.

With a good foundation the move ahead can be made at any speed, for there is no . some of the interior that is touched by ' the slackwater of the, sounds, bays and rivers. It includes Fayetteville, Jack- sonvillej New Bern, Washington. Eden- j ton. and even those farther inland places like Kinston. Greenville, and 'the flanking towns, will be materially in fluenced.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Sept 18 Charged by the Netherlands Minister! of War to Investigate the latest Ger- man methods of treatment of soldiers J suffering from nervous collapse and ! kindred ailments, Dr. Zeehandelaar, of, the Dutch Army Medical Service also Hook advantage; of , his stay in Berlin to look Into the question of the alleged chronic underfeeding in the German "I went for the purpose," writes j Dr. Zeehanlaaz, "to Wannsee Leke, the ! popular family bathing resort, where j I was able to inspect some thousands of- Berllners of all ages, stripped to j the buff.' I only wish my city patients I looked like them. The feeding in Ber lin is said to be the worst in Germany, with the exception of the garrison towns. But if much nrivation has to be suffered, there is vno real hunger. I took my meals purposely in the most simple eating houses. Food is much dearer than normally; but there is still sufficient and the poorest are cared for. The impression that I, and many with me. had that the war could not last much - longer because the stamina -of the people was suffering too much Jfrom underfeeding, is assuredly very exaggerated; if not; entirely incorrect. Ypur German -now takes his coffee without sugar, his potatoes with out gravy, his not very palatable bread with just a suspcicion of butter or qnly with jam, and he puts up with a couple of meatless days a week. Con sequently he has lost his proverbial ro- tundity ; but if he fares poorly he is still far from starving, Dr. Zeehandelaaz also took occasion to inquire at the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the detention of 80 many doctors and nursing personnel of the entente armies in Germany, He was given to understand that this was a measure or reprisal evoked by the hoIdlnS back of German medical men France and Russia. His informants acknowledged that such imprisonment , . 4, , an agree ment would Drobablv be reached soon.
