Washington, Oct. 5. Congress prob ably will be asked to approve in De cember a continued building policy for the navy having for its object main tenance of the navy on the basis of at least 43 first-class battleships. The proportion of super battle cruisers, scouts! destroyers, submarines and auxiliaries would be worked out from this figure. i Secretar Daniels said today that the proposal to recommend to Con gress the establishment of this policy had been discussed by him both with President Wilson and with Chairman Padgett, of the House Naval Affairs Committee. j While he explained that no definite decision had been reached the Secre tar indicated that he was inclined to favor! such a plan. The navy general board for many years has computed its construction estimates on a basis similar to that suggested but the pro posal to write the plan into an appro priation bill as a definite and continu ing building policy never has received the approval of any Secretary of the Navyi -; ':: Good Roads: j Get and Keep Them (Hon. Henry A. Page However it may be in other states, 1 am convinced that here in North Car olina we are wasting 60 per cent of the imoney we are spending for im proved roads; the mud-sill of our whole road building structure is rot ten. We are voting bonds to build what we call "permanent" roads, and taking no thought for maintenance. A permanent road does not call for maintenance. This is the idea upon which we are acting, and the result Is that the type of road we are building does not lend itself to either easy or cheap maintenance, and after we get it we find that there is no such thing as a permanent road, and in huildir.g at that ideal I we have constructed a road that not only needs upkeep and wears out without It, but worse than this, our building methods have given us a kind of road that is so difficult and expensive to maintain that we do not maintain it. Therefore It wears out, and when It is past endurance there is nothing to do but make an other bond issue and build another permanent" (?) road. Thus we are piling up bond issues to be paid by future generations for roads that will not last until our babies put on long pants. I ... No Such Thing as "Permanent" Road. Before we can learn truth, we have first to unload error. : The first step therefore is to puncture that bubble about permanent roads. There is no such thing, at least not within the reach of any community in my state As I have stated, a permanent road, 1 there were such a thing, would not need maintenance. There is no practi- cal way to mend or maintain a mecad- am or other rock road, and they do wear out quickly; therefore it is woe ful and -wilful waste of public funds to build rock roads at all. I know some road engineers will dispute this statement, but I am Quite sure of its truth nevertheless. Exit mecadam, as far as I am concerned. Now for another dogmatic statement' I am willing to tie to: Any road thac does not receive systematic regular i maintenance and inspection from the! day It Is finished will suffer damage which cannot be fully repaired, and if this neglect is continued the road will soon become worthless. Railroads are huilt up to the highest' standard of solidity, and yet repair crew goes over every mile of every road In the land every day. Drag at Least 0ice Every Two Weeks. How often In reason and common sense should we inspect and repair damage to our improved highways? Once a week, I say. You think every Disappeared From Home Early In AU ternoon and SeaVch Instituted; Note Said He Was Going Off. (Raleigh News & Observer.) Mr. C. C. McDonald, stock broker, for many years prominent in business and political activities in Raleigh, was found dead in the fammer house at the Raleigh Country Club last night shortly before twelve o'clock with, a bullet hole through his heart. His coat was neatly folded under his head and beside him was a twenty-two cal ibre revolver and a pocket knife with an open blade. The latter had not been used. But j an empty revolver chamber, and stains of powder and blood told the story. Coroner Chas. Separk later at the Brown's under taking establishment, with every indi cation of suicide before him, declared that no inquest would be held unless requested. I Mr. McDonald! had been missed since early yesterday afternoon. After doing a bit of writing at a desk at home, he had left the house, leaving his wife in the room. Later, when he did not return for supper, she became uneasv and instituted a search. It develoned that: he had been seen near the Country Club, where he was ac customed to go each afternoon. At eleven o'clock Mrs. MacDonald found in a drawer of a chiffonier some money and a few valuables, together with a note reading: "To my wife." That was all.- Her fears were in creased. Mr. John McDonald, a son, with Dr. Hubert Haywood, in an auto mobile, : went to the Country Club, where his body was found in the sum mer house.

Well, but the very best built roads in my state have not been touched in six months or a year, or longer many of them have never been touched since completion. Some of these roads are so constructed as to make repair expensive; with others it is impossible. The question of maintenance should be kept to the front in deciding every ! detail of construction. And just here let me emphasize another fundamen tal principle. There Is only one way to maintain a road in good condition all the time, and that way is to drag it frequently enough to keep ruts and holes out of its surface. Therefore the road should ; be built-in its every detail so that it can be easily and cheaply dragged. The most important single item in construction is proper drainage. Complete maintenance i3 spelled this wag : d-r-a-g. Surface material does not matter so much as we think. Gravel, sand-clay, cement these things do not make good roads stay good. Drain and drag are the gold dust twins. I am p re-supposing the best possible road engineer; then build to perfectly drain with your eye always on- the later use of a drag. About that engineer : I would em ploy the best one In reach, and have him take plenty of time to ttna best location, avoiding cuts and fills as much as possible. Better to go around than through, if for no other reason than because it makes drag eine easier and cheaper and more efficient Tell him that you want him to provide plans for ditches and under drains so that not one drop of water that falls on adjacent lands can ever run on to the roadway at any po'nt. Let him have time to do all this well. and when you get the stakes In the ground, our profiles and full plans, discharge the engineer.

American Demands Com pletely Conceded to Says Von Bernstorff SECRETARY LANSING ASSURED IN WRITING Washington Officials Are Gratifies! Over Settlement of U-Roat (Ques tion in Sinking of Big Liner. Washington, Oct. 5. Germany has completely acceded to the American demands for settlement of the Arabic case. The Imperial government, in a letter presented today by its Ambas- sador Count Von Bernstorff, to Secre- tary Lansing, disavows the sinking of the vessel, announces that it has so notified the submarine commander who made the attack, expresses re gret for' the loss of American lives, and agrees to pay an indemnity to their families Official Washington was both grati- hed and relieved by the diplomatic victory. The communication deliver ed by the Ambassador pursuant to general instructions from his govern ment spread absolute confidence that there would be no more submarine controversies between the United States and Germany, for the document reveals that stringent orders have been given to submarine commanders to prevent a recurrence of such inci dents as the Arabic.

The show grounds of the Carl Hag- enbeck-Wallace Circus is a city with in itself, lacking only a town council and a State charter. It has its own. lawyers, postmaster, dentists, doctors, carpenters, painters, detectives, black smiths, wagon-makers, laundrymen, barbers, shoemakers, tailors, sail-mak ers, harness-makers, store keepers and pnotographers. it supports a great hotel, In which thousands of meals are cooked and eaten every day in the week. Twenty-two tents that cover a small- size farm houses the circus in the dry time. The largest tent is 540 feet in length, and among the biggest ever constructed. Six gigantic oak poles form the chief support Any one of them is larger than the largest mast on a sea-sailing vessel; the smallest tent Is the one used to house the cir cus barber shop. At night the circus in trn.nsnnrt.ftd on a show train one mile in length and divided into three sections; another sun sees the great institution In another city.

Russia's ultimatum to Bulgaria re mains unanswered. The crown coun cil of that state is reported to have discussed for several hours the terms of the ultimatum without reaching a decision.
