COUNTY ROADS.
As the question of a County .Road
system under the Highways Improve -
:merit Act, has been before the County
Council at different times and is to
be before the Ceuncil again at the Jan-
uary session for consideration, it might
not be out of place to give a few poi-
ticulars under which the system is
operated and -the cost such roads would
curtail on the county.
The County .Council may by by-law
assume a system of roads, which roads
then become county roads and are un-
der control of the county council and
not under the sole control of the town-
ship councils as formerly. The mile-
age of roads assumed by a Co-unty, of
course varies, but the improvement of
say lh per cent.of the roads would serve
n
fullyi- 5 per cent. of the traffic as those
assued are those racliating from lecal
Jrnaricet centres and shipping roints.
, -
The construction of the road is gener-
ally suited to local material and traf-
fic hut the standard is a roadway well
drained and graded to a width of 24
feet between ditches, with gravel or
stone in the centre, ten feet wide.
These roads built under the County
Roads System are not necesarily ex-
pensive especially in a county like
Huron, where there is an abundant
supply of gravel and where the roads
have been exceptionally well kept and
already have a good foundation, One
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars
per mile would cover the cost and pro-
vide substantial work suited to local
traffic. The county council may make
grants to towns and villages for the
improvement of extensions or con-
necting links of county roads in such
towns aid villages, the gaants being
commonlY proportionate to what ethe
town or village has paid in the county
rate, or in some cases streets may be
assumed as County roads if so desired.
The County road expenditure is by no
means an added burden on the tax-
payer as no new roads are created,
the roads being essentially those which
are now most heavily travelled and
rherefere require a considerable town-
ship expenditure for maintenance.
Road making too, is necessarily, a slow
process, from ten to fifteen years being
required to complete a county road sys-
tem so that the cost can be financed on.
an annul basis so that the total cost
in a term of years should not deter a
county from undertaking the construc-
tion if the annual cost is not burden-
some. It must be kent in mind, too,
that the Provincial Government con-
tributes forty per cent. of the total
expenditure on construction, which is
paid to the county annually
after the close of ea ch
year's work, or in other words for ev-
ery $1,000 spent by the county, the
province contributes, $666.66, and the
county spends a total of $1,666.66. The
province also contributes 20 per cent.
a the total cost of maintenance, esti-
mated on a similiar basis. A levy .)f
one mill on the county assessment,
would produce an annual amount of
the Central Powersms in direct coilict
with the evidence, both as regards re-
sponsibility for the past and guaran-
tees for the future. President Wilson,
in alluding to this analogy, did not, of
course, intend to adopt it as his own.
"ff there is an historical fact estab-
lished at the present date, it is the
wilful aggression ofi Germaay and
I ustria-Hungary, to insure their
hegemony over Europe' and their eco-
nomic domination over the world. By
her declaration of war, by the instant
violation of Belgium and Luxemburg,
and by her methods of warfare, Ger-
many has proved that she systemat-
ically scorns every principle of human-
ity and all respect due to small States.
More and more, as the struggle has
progressed, has the attitude of the
Central Powers and their Allies been
a constant challenge to humanity and
civilization. Is it necessary to recall
the horrors that marked the invasion
of Belgium and Serbia, the atrocious
regime imposed upon the invaded coun-
tries, the massacre of hundreds of
thousands of inoffensive Armenians,
the barbarities perpetrated against the
populations of Syria, the raids of Zep-
pelins on open towns, the destruction
by submarines of passenger steamers,
and of merchantmen, evezi under neu-
tral flags, the cruel treatment inflicted
upon prisoners of war, the judicial
meeders of Miss Cavell, of Captain
Fryatt, the deportation and the re-
duction to slavery of civil populations,
etc.? The execution of such a series
of crimes perpetrated without any
regard for aniversal reprobation fully
explains to President Wilson the pro-
test of the allies.
"They consider that the note which
they sent to the United States in reply
to the German note will be a response
to the questions put by the American
Government, and according to the ex-
act words of the latter, constitute a
public cleclaratiens as to the conditions
upon which the war could be terminat-
ed..'
"President Wilson desires more; he
desires that the belligerent powers
openly affirm the objects which
they seek by continuing the war; the
allies experience no difficulty in reply-
ing to this request. Their objects in
the war are well known; they have
been formulated on many oecasions
by the chiefs of their divers Govern-
ments. Their objects in the war will
not be made known in: detail with all
the equitable compensations and in-
demnities for damages suffered until
the hour of negotiations. But
the whole civilized world knows
that they imply in all necessity
and in the first instance the
restoration of Belgium, of Serbia; and
of Montenegro, and the indemnities
which are due them; the evacuationof
the invaded territories of France, of
Russia, and of Roumania with just
reparation; the reorganization of
Europe, guaranteed by a stable settle-
ment, based alike upon the principle
of nationalities, on the right which all
peoples, whether small •or great, have
to the enjoyment of full security and
free economic development, bet also
upon territorial agreement and inter-
Lational arrangements so framed as
to guarantee land and sea frontiers
against unjust attacks; the restitution
of provinces or territories wrested in
the past from the allies by force or
against the will of their populations,
the liberations of Italians, of Slays,
of Roumanians and of Tcheco-SIov-
oques from foreign domination; the
enfranchisement of populations subject
to the bloody tyranny of the Turks;
the expulsion from Europe of the Ot-
toman Empire, *hide his proved WW1
so radically' alien to Western civiliza-
tion. The intentions of His Majesty,
the Emperor of Russia, regarding
Poland have been clearly indicated in
the Iiiroclaniatien • which he has just
addressed to his armies. It gots with-
out saying that while the allies wish to
liberate Europe from the brutal covet-
ousness! of Prussian militarism, it nev-
er has been their design, as has been
alleged, to encompass the extermina-
tion .of the German peoples an,d- their
political disappearance. That which
they desire above all is to ensure a
peace upon the priciples of liberty and
justice, upon the inviolable fidelity to
international obligation, with which
the GovernTnent of the United States
has never ceased to be inspired.
United in the pursuit of this su-
preme -objective the allies are determ-
ined, individually anal collectively, to
act with all their power and to consent
to all sacrifices to bring to a victorious
dose a conflict upon which they are
convinced net only their own safety
and prosperity 'depends, but also the
future of civilization itself."
The translation of the Belgian note;
which was handed to Ambassador
Sharp with the Entente reply, follows:
"The Government of the King,
which has associated itself with the
answer handed by the President of
the French Council to the American
.Ambassador on behalf of all, is partic-
ularly desirous of paying tribute of
the sentiment of humanity which
has prompted the President of the
United States to send his note to the
belligerent powers, and it highly es-
teems the freindship expressed for
Belgium through his kindly intermed-
iation. It desires as much as Mr.
:Woodrow Wilson to see the present
wariended as early as possible.
"But the President seems to believe
that the statesmen of the two oppos-
ing camps pursue the same objects of.
war. The example of Belgium unfor-
tunately demonstrates that, this is in
no wise the fact. Belgium has never,
like the Central Powers, airaed at con-.
quests. The barbarous fashion in
which the German Government has
treated and is still treating, the Bel-
gian nation does not permit the sup-
position that Germany will preoccupy
herself with guaranteeing in the future
the rights of the weak nations which
she has not ceased to trample under
foot since the war, let loose by her,
began to desolate Europe. On the.
other hand, the Government of the
King -hes -noted with pleasure and with
confidence the asurances that the Unit-
ed States is impatient to co-operate
in the measures which will be taken
after the conclusion of peace to pro-
tect and guarantee the small nations
against violence and oppression.

STANLEY.
Death of George Elgie.-Mr. George
W. Elgie, a well known resident of
the township of Stanley, died on Tues-
day, January 9th, after a short illness
of pneumonia. The late Mr. Elgie was
born in' Toronto township, York Co.,
on December 8th, 1854. Fifty-nine
years ago his father moved with his
family to Huron County and settled
on the third, concession of Tuckersmith
where the deceased grew to manhood.
Thirty-six years ago he was joined in
wedlock to Annie McKay, and the
young couple took up farming on the
Parr Line, Stanely township, moving
a feW years later to the fifth conces-
sion iV the same township, where he
continued to reside until his death. On
February 8th, 1891, his wife died,
leaving a family of five children, four
of whom, Robert, of Oshawa; A. Louis,
of Davidson, Seelc.• G. Thomas, of
Hallett township, mid Mrs. S.J. John-
son, of the Bayfield Road, Stanely, still
survive On February- 29th, 189Z, he
married SusannaNdaughter of the late
John Forrest, and to this union was
born one child,- Margaret Grace, who
with her mother, ale. survives him.
Quiet, rather reserved' in manner, the
•"deceased was a loving husband, and
an indulgent father, and made frimuls
with all those whom he was brought
in coetact, by his kindly nature, and
readiness to assist all those needing-
essisting, and the large gathering

in which he was held. The

ether, without any plausible reason, pall bearers were his three sons, son -
her neutrality was violated, and the in-law and two nephews. He was a
Chancellor of the Empire, when an -i member, of the Presbyterian church,
flouncing to the Reichstag this viola- , Varna, and will be greatly missed in
-
tion of right and of treaties, was oblig-
ed to recognize the iniquity of such an
act, and predetermine that it would
be repaired. But the Germans, after
the occup tion of Belgian territory.
have displ yed no better observance
of the rul of international law . or
elm stipulations of The Hague Conven-
tion. Theyhave,,by taxation, as heavy
as it is arbitrary, drained the resour-
ces of the country; they have inten-
tionaly ruined its industries, destroyed,
whole cities, put to death and impris-
Sined a considerable number of inhab-
itants. Even now, while they are loudly
proclaiming their desire to put an end
o the horrors of war, they increase the
rigors of the occupation by deporting
into servitude Belgian workers by
the thousands.
"If there is a country which has the
right to say that it has taken up arms
to defend its existence, itis assuredly
Belgium. Compelled to fight or to sub-
mit to shame, she passionately desires
that an end be brought to the anprece-
dented sufferings of her population.
But she could only accept a peace
which would assure her, as well as eq -
Liftable reparation, security and guar-,
antees for the future.
"The American people, since the be-
gining of the war, have manifested to
the oppressed belgian nation its most
ardent sympathy. It is an American
committee, the Commission for Relief
in Belgium, which, in close union with
the Government of the King and the
National Committee, displays an untir-
ing devotion and marvellous- activity
in revictualling Belgium. The Govern-
ment of the King is happy to avail it-
self of this opportunity to express its
profound gratitude to the Commission
for Relief, as well as tp the generous
A mericans eager to relieve the misery
of the Belgian population. -fine ay, no-
where more than in the United States
have the abductions and deportations
of Belgian citizens provoked such ..
spontaneous movement of protestation
and indignant reproof.
"These facts, entirely to the honor of
the American nation, allow the Gov-
ernment of the King to entertain the
legitimate hope that at the time of
the definite settlement of this long
war, the voice of the Entente powers
willfind in the United States a unani
mous echo to claim in fa.ver'of the Bel-
gian nation, innocent victim of Ger-
man ambition and covetousness, the.
rank and place which its reproachable
past, the valor of its -soldiers, its fidel-
ity to honor and its remarkable facul-
ties for work assign to it among the
civilized hations."

Annual Meeting. -The annual ceeet-
ing of St. Andrew's Presbyterian
church, Kipper', was held on Monday
afternoon. Dr. Aitken presided and
Mr. James B. McLean was appointed

the singing of the good old sixty-fifth
psalm, the reading of Romans 12, and
prayer.. Reports were heard from the
Session, the Missionary Society, the
Mission Band, the Sabbath School and
the Board of Management In spite
if the long vacancy and the change of
ministers it was a good year, and
thanks were offered to Almighty God
eccordingly. The treasurer was able
to report an increase in givings both
to the general fund and to missions.
None of the congregation have been
called by death during the year, and
there has been but litle sorrow and
sicicnees Six of the members of the
church have heard the call of King
and Country, and are now wearing the
King's uniform. One of these has
been wounded. The membership of
the congregation now stands at 176.

of last week at his home. Mr. Road-
house was apparently in the very best
of health and was engaged in the dut-
ies about the farm. About eleven o'-
clock in the morning he had gone to
the 'workshop to do some repairing. In
the meantime Mr. Thomas Washburn
called on business and searched
through the barn for Mr. Roadhouse
and finally found him lying dead in
the workshop. The deceased had gone
from the house only a short time. _Dr.
Campbell, of Kirkton, was called in im-
mediately. He expressed no surprise
as the deceased had been suffering
from a weak heart. An inquest was
deemed unnecessary. The deceased
was 53 years of age. He was one of
the most highly esteemed residents in
the community. For some time he was
superintendent of the Kirkton Metho-
dist church Sunday school and previous
to his death taught a class. This
chum had planned a little presenta-
