Long Step Taken by Victory Over In-

London, July 7. (By the Associated
Press) The provisional Irish - Free
State government by Its substantial
victory over the Insurgent forces In
Dublin Is believed to . nave taken a
a long step toward -establishing itself
firmly and bringing paica to Ireland.
. The ready response to. the national
call to arms is regarded as eucourug-
lng and as further proof that most
Irishmen are back of the new govern,
meat, and opposed to republcan ex
tremists. Indications are not acking, however,
that' Michael Collins and - colleague
will need all the support they can get to
put down resistances, which accord
ing to some reports in Dublin, is of
Important character.' These writers
say the strength of the insurgents .in
the south . nnd southwest is greatei
than. Biipposced and declare tbe task
of downing tills opposition is likely to
be slow and costly in Cork County and
part of the adjacent territory Republi
cans are reported, to have the field to
themselves and to be engaged In mak
ing elaborate preparations to resist tbe
Free State forces. , ' . ?
It is predicted the provisional gov
ernment will iieed -o enroll soldiers to
the full strength allowed under the
Anglo-Irish treaty and then will have
none' too many for the job of ronud'
ing np guerilla hand acting under or
ders of republican' headquarters. '

cal year berinniug July 1. 11123, and
$75.01)0.000 for tbe smeedlug fiscal

period. If the state adhere to the stip

000,0(10. The fuuds will Ite administer
ed by the Secretary iof Agriculture
through the Burean of Good Roads.
It ix eotimnted that the $1!)0.000,000
appropriated will result in tlie con
struction of more than 25,000 mile of
road, which, added to the 40,000 miles
that are expected to result from prev
ious fedPrnh appropriations,- makes a
total of 71,000 miles, or nearly 40 per
cent, of tbe estimated IWI.OOO miles of
good roads on the system of federal
aid roads now being outlined.
With the aid of the ftt0,KX),000 pre
viously appropriated by the govern-
nient, 7,000 miles of road had been
completed on last May 81 and In ad
dition, nearly 14500 miles were under
construction, Involving more ' thab
;$2S7M0,000 of federal aid. To match
this fund the states have appropriated
approximately $:W0,000,0()0, making a
total of $tUS7,500,000.
The average cont per mile of all
types of road constructed with federal
aid has been $17,120, of which 43 per
cent, has been the cost to the govern
ment. The new legislation, however,
reduces the maximum participation Ion
the part of the Government from $20,
01)00 to $18,250 per mile for the first
fiscal year, and , $15,000 thereafter.
The appropriations a.re to be used on
construction of a connected system of
primary, or lnter-state, aud secondary,
or Inter-county, roads. '
It is further provided ' that the
Mates receiving aid must maintain ade
