ASKS INFORMATION ON "NARROWS" ROAD [ Continued From first Pafce.] age between these two point*. As the existing highway here is already of insufficient width for public safety in traveling, the State Highway Commis sioner declined to issue the permits to the railroad company and requested them to find for the State sufficient land paralleling their tracks whereon to construct a highway of sufficient width to render vehicular traffic safe at all seasons of the year. The State Highway Commissioner called Mr. Lincoln's attention to the fact that the railway company, at the present time, was occupying the site ; of the highway as originally laid out, permission to do so having been ob : tained many years ago from the township supervisors. The State Hllgh way Commissioner Informed Mr. Lin j coin that he had been unable to find anything in the law which would war rant township supervisors extending to public utilities companies any right of way over highways under their 1 jurisdiction, in fact, on contrary, he Mid he had found that township ! supervisors were specifically pro hibited from so doing. In conclusion the State Highway Commissioner in ! formed Superintendent Lincoln that the permits would be withhold until adjustment of this question had been i reached. Mr. Lincoln's Letter Under date of February 5, Super * intendent Lincoln wrote State High- I way Commissioner Cunningham as i follows: Williamsport, Pa., Feb. 5, 1916. Hon. R. J. Cunningham, State Highway Commissioner, Harrisburg. Pa. Dear Sir: — "In the matter of your letter of , January 26th. the receipt whereof I ; have heretofore formally acknowl edged. which said letter relates to cer tain applications made by the Wil liamsport Division of the Pennsylvania ! Railroad Company for permits from ; the State Highway Department au thorizing certain changes in the loca tion of Stati> Highway Route No. 1, I note the following paragraph in your said letter: "Referring to the records of the original layout of the highway in j question it has been found that it was laid out 50 feet in width and the understanding is that where a road has been absorbed by a rail -1 road company that one equal to the original width must be supplied. (See 215 Pa. St. Reports, page j 149). "As the question of the width and location of the highway in question, as originally laid out, will probably ■be fundamental in dealing with the problems discussed at our interview of January 26th, we have endeavored to ascertain the facts in connection with the original laying out and open ing of said highway, but tints far have i been unable to obtain sufficient data ito enable us to reach a satisfactory conclusion. j "You doubtless have access to the records referred to in your letter j upon which the above quoted para ! graph of the same is based. "To the end that we may be in a ' position to deal intelligently, and 1 trust harmoniously, with the situation, won't you please give me a reference to the records showing that the high ; way in question was laid out at an original width of 50 feet and the rec ords showing the location of said j highway.

It is understood that upon this j change and others described also as minor is based the expressed view of high officials that the two govern- I metits are "substantially in accord" | although not wholly so. No new dlf- i ticulty is expected here from the | change of words. It is felt that Ger- i many could not or would not assume liability which she would not recog- ; ! nize. it is not believed here that the Ber ! lin officials will hesitate to accept the ! suggestion. Minor Changes The changes were suggested to Count ; von Bernstorff. the German am bassador, by Secretary baiising late yesterday after President Wilson and his Cabinet had gone over the latest proposal of Germany. The ambassador immediately after ward submitted the whole matter by ' cable to the Berlin government for final approval. It is expected that a reply will be forthcoming in about six j I days. in Teutonic diplomatic circles to-day j the belief was expressed that the pro- | posed changes would be accepted by i the Berlin foreign office. Substantial Compliance The memorandum submitted to Sec- , j retary Lansing on Friday of last week is a substantial compliance with the demands of the American government for a disavowal ol' the sinking of the | Cunarder, with the loss of 115 Ameri- j can lives. It now remains only for the two gov- ! ernments to reach an agreement re garding the formalities incident to an j official announcement of a settlement of the nine months' controversy. This ! i will consist largely in agreement as to i the. date on which the formal German ' ; note Is to be made public simul- I taneously in Germany and the United | States. The American demands on Germany | were: i Note of May 13—That Germany "dls- ; avow," "make reparation" and "take j immediate steps to prevent the re- ! j currence of anything so obviously sub ! verslve of the principles of warfare." ! Note of June 9—"The government of the United States very earnestly and very solemnly renews the representa l tions of its note transmitted on the 13th of May." Note of July 21—"The government j ; of the United States cannot believe \ that the imperial government will j j longer refrain from disavowing the I wanton act of its naval commander in | ! sinking the Lusltania or from offerins j reparation for the American lives lost, | | so far as reparation can be made for | i the needless destruction of human life | i by an illegal act." Formal Note in Reply Here is the statement concerning ; j the situation made by high authority of the State Department: "It may be stated that Germany and i the United States are approaching a; i settlement and It may be assumed that ; settlement will be on the basis of the ! offer of Friday, which was broad j •'tiough substantially to cover the United States' demands. It may be , said to-day that the United States has i not reduced them. Germany and the United States are substantially agreed upon those terms. A settlement is in sight probably within the next, few j ; days. The agreement will have to be put in the form of a formal note. "It may prove, however, that no ma terial modification of language will be j found necessary. It is now practically a question of penmanship. It is not ' i fair to assume that there will have to bo any further admissions or conces- ! I sions from Berlin." Terms of Settlement It is jtosslble to state on the high- 1 est authority that the terms of the j settlement are: First—Germany admits that acts of j s retaliation are wrong when they affect neutrals. Applied to the Lusitania case, this is an admission by Germany i I that the sinking of the vessel was not justified. It is accepted by the United Slates as an admission of Illegality, as ■ i this government holds reprisals illegal. I Second —An offer is made to pay fall indemnity for the f.usitatiia dead, not ; as an ac t of grace, but as an obligation. Third —Germany repeats her pledge I that unarmed merchantmen will not ! be sunk without warning, and without I provision being made for safety of pas- j sengers and crews, providing they do ; not try to escape or offer resistance, making a recurrence of a tragedy such as the Liiisitania sinking impossible. Fourth —An expression of deepest regret is made for the loss of American life on the Lusitania. Fifth —Attention is called to the fact that out of deference for the friend ship of the United States, and to meet • the wishes of this government, Ger many practically lias given up sub- j marine warfare. Sixth —Germany accepts the invita- ! tion extended in the note of July 21 to 1 • co-operate with the United States in achieving freedom of the seas and is ready to act at any lime in this direc -1 tion.

WILL A BEAR ATTACK A HUMAN ? [Continued From First I'age.] merrily he was navigating; bis way along: the six-mile hike, carrying a lantern to cheer and light his path. When within half a' mile of camp "Bob" stumbled into a thick pine top, that had fallen across the road, and ! as he stumbled in an immense black ■ bear stumbled out—a sort of super- j dreu.dna.ugbt bear —which gave one j growl and one swipe, scaring Putt and putting his lantern out. Two morel "woof woof" remarks from the bear and Putt beat it for the nearest tree, ! up which he went with speed and 1 agility that astonished both himself 1 anil the bear. Now comes the brand new and red hot part of the story—good moire I stuff. "Bob" had climbed high, but 1 < tlie bear seemed bound to get just as high and there -wasn't even time fori prayers. There was time, however j' for his wits, sharpened by peril, to get i busy, and he thought of an old hunt er's remark that bears can't stand the | 1 smell of burning cloth. So he took one : of several new bandanas ho had pur chased, touched a match to it and let J it drop on the bear's nose. That j helped some. Thp bear growled j deeper than ever and paused 10 sec onds in his climb. Thus went poor Putt's stock of handkerchiefs, but the bits of flame : served merely to postpone the dread i moment when a bear worth not more 1 : than S3O, hide, hair, and bones, would |, be lunching on a woodsman, who , could earn that much in a month, be side board and lodging. "Bob" de cided to sacrifice his new underclothes. I Nothing doing! He then pulled off ■ his outershirt. That was more effec- ] tive. It stayed the bear's advance,, fully one minute. Then a red flannel j undershirt. About equal results! Next—but at this critical moment! the camp huskies, who had observed ! flickers of flame in the tree top and ; heard Putt's yells for help came I along with cant, hooks ajid axes and chased the bear away. "That's a true story—every gosh- ] 1 darned word of it," says "Bob," "and I them as don't take no stock into it; < can go out there and see what's left I o' them shirts —jest the buttons i b'gosh." | ' N.
