Recently the Alabama, legislator tan
tmously passed a. joint resolution, pre
pared by John Craft of the State High
way department, and of course, assented
to by Governor Henderson, whloh calls
upon the president and congress of the
United States, "to take such atepa as In
their wisdom appears to be most expe
dient to brine about at the earliest pos
sible moment the construction of a na

that a national system of food roaoa is

a country In the event or war."
At the recent Pan-American Roads
congress In Oakland, Cal.. among the
resolutions was on In which the con

the United Mates, the advisability of In
vestigating the necessity of building a
bard surfaoe highway along the Pa
cific ocean side, from Mexico to British
Columbia, and other national highways,
to be used aa military and commercial
highway."
Earlier In the year at a meeting of th
Main Automobile association, the chair
man of th Btate Highway commission
contended that the first federal money
pent In that state should be In con

leling th coast, to serve particularly In

"ZEP" PARTIES ARE
QUITE THE FASHION
John Mantel Clapp Describe! How
London FeeU in Talk; to
Palimpieit Club.
BRITAIN WILL FIGHT TO END
According to John Mantel Clapp
of Lake Forest college, addressing
the Palimpsest club last evening at
th Omaha club, It Is Quit the atyl
these days for Londoners to go out
in buses, taxis or hansoms, or even
on foot, to view Zeppelins which soar
10,000 feet above the British me
tropolis during the stilly ntght.
These people have "Zep" parties
and seem to think It Is jolly fine.
Mr. Clapp attended one ot these
soirees during last summer, while In
London securing data for his lec
ture, "London In War Time," which
he delivered last evening to sixty
Omahans. x
"I waa In a theater when a raid oc
curred en evening last September,"
stated th lecturer. "I recognised th
sound of th engines and 1 waa not
afraid. I did not know I was a hero
until that time, I remained up until l:M
Files Very HlgdU
"Th 'Zap' waa about 10.000 feet In
the air and looked like a large cigar.
Ther were London searchlights playing
on th aerial visitor, la the mo i.lng I
visited the scenes of destruction. A bus
waa struck and sixteen people killed.
A warehouse was set afire and a grass
plSjt in Queen's Square waa struck, I
think th results were rather trivial when
on considers th daring cf th raiders
and th expense Incurred. I learned the
British are making aeroplane khich will
fly faster and hurl more destructl.s at
thes 'Zap.' The affect ot these raids la
to stimulate recruiting."
Of th European contest th speaker
said, viewing th situation In London I
"I believe It Is a contest not ot set 1H
ends, but of Ideals and principles. Ther
la a mangnlf.crnt enthu.laam to wh'.eh
we must tak off our hat. Th nations
of Europe are down to the very bed
rock of national consciousness. Th peo
ple axe thinking seriously mora so than
for many years.
Respect tar Brltlafc.
"I came away with a greater respe'-t
for the British. I lellev the thing Is
going to a finish. On can not help but
admire the devotion of nations of men
who have gone beyond mere superfl.ial
Ity. I think th wo. Id will b bett'
for this revival. It wUltbe the ead of
war. Ther will be a new England and
the same might b said of ethar na
tions." Mr. Clapp said hla observations while
in London led him to believ that th
' people of this country are not highly re
garded abroad. He said b heard this
bit of twitting language many times:
"I'm a Yank and I'm too dVn proud to
fight."
"W are a world of our own," h said,
"and not In th center of this interna
tional strife, but they do not seem to
'4 realise that. And yt whn you talked to
the men and women of London you were
told that their wish waa that the United
States would not get Into th war, for
what would become of th Belgians and
others being helped by us?"
N Hatred for Germ a as.
He did not observ any real hatred to
ward the Germans In London, but rather
a feeling that th Germans were misled.
lie said the miners of Britain were rap
resented by greater numbers In the war
than any other clasa of workmen, not
withstanding that when th war waa
started the miners were in the throes of
a strike. That Illustrated the British tem
perament. He found a grim reeolve in
the Britisher's attitude toward the; war
and allayed anxiety whether the Rus
sians would stick. He found them pre
paring for a long, gruelling fight and de
termined to go through with it.
Plenty of Monitions Now.
Information he Is said to hav received
waa that th British, hav plenty of mu
nitions, with more factories being opened
and many women working In the fac
tories. There is a vast reserve of men
and he added that London had not bn
tapped.
In his observations of the many classes
of soldiers he saw In London, Mr. Clapp
told of the honors" conferred upon - the
Canadian troops and said Scotland has
contributed more soldiers proportionately
than any of the countries of th empire.
Th darkened streets of London were
mentioned and he told of th rich young
men going to tha front in various capaci
ties. Women of wealth are making over
last aaasqn'a dresses, while many of th
poorer classes are Indulging In unwonted
extravagances on account of certain ben
efactions Incident to th war. Ther Is
more money than usual rn circulation, al
though professional people and educa
tional Institution ar feeling th affects
of th war.
"Tha people believ In Kitchener and,
generally speaking, th people ar with
th government."
Th speaker of the evening was Intro
duced by John L. Webster, president of
the club. Mr. Webster paid a high com
pliment to foreign-born cltlsens ot this
country, expressing ths belief that in
time of necessity they would be Just as
patriotlo aa citlzena born under the flag.
Ha said every true American cttlsen Is
willing to let other nations fight their
own battles, but this country is ever
ready to extend the oltv branch of peace
to th world.

particularly of neutral opinions, to bear

The horrors ot the massacres exceeded
anything In the history of peraerutlona,

who went mad and at Trebliond carried
