DAUPHIN SHARE
OF ROAD MONEY
pig Improvement Would Be
Possible Under a "Fifty-
Fifty" Proposition
If the State Highway Department
Vas to be given an appropriation of
510,000,000 for State highways for
the next two years it would mean
that it would be possible for Dau
phin county. If it co-operated with
the Highway Department, to con
struct ten or twelve miles ns nearly
permanent road as it is possible to
construct.
Dauphin county will receive sll,-
756.1,"> from every million dollars the
Highway Department receives for
State highway construction. This
sum is independent of the fund for !
State-aid construction. and also |
from the fund received for automo- j
bile licenses, which Is used for main
tenance and repair.
If the Highway Department is |
given $10,000,000 for the next two
years Dauphin county's share will i
he $117,861.50. This sum Is suffici
ent to build about six miles of road
at $20,000 a mil© on an average for
concrete or brick.
In the event that the commis
sioners of Dauphin county go "50-
60" with the State, as they may do |
tinder the terms of a bill signed by |
the Governor March 22 last, the total
sum available for this county for
work on State highways will be ,
5235.723 —or approximately twelve:
miles of permanent highway.
This county's share of the State- i
aid fund will be $11.55(i.70 per mil- !
lion of the appropriation: and to (
avail Itself of this fund the county |
and the townships In which the '
money is used must equal what the i
State spends.
Dauphin county commissioners un
der the law may borrow without any
formality one-tenth of one per cent
of the county's total valuation, which
aneans that it can borrow $75,000 a
year until a total of two per cent. J
the valuation is reached. Or if the j
board secures the approval of one I
grand jury a year it can borrow j
$350,000 a year—half of one per
cent the valuation, until a total i
ot" two per cent the total valuation j
is reached.
The Highway Department will
spend Dauphin's share of the State I
highway fund In the construction j
of permanent main roads in this j
countv, but the total mileage can be i
doubled if the co-operation of the j
county commissioners is secured." In <
the borrowing of one-tenth of one j
per cent the valuation the commls- j
sioners can give notes, to be cared ]
for in the 191$ budget.
British and Russian Armies
Push on in Mesopotamia
With the British Army in Mesopo- j
tamia, May 11. —The war In Mesopo- I
tumia and along the Persian border
has carried the British and Russian
armies into the country of the Xes- i
torians, or East Syrians, who claim j
that the tirst tidings of Christianity
were brought to them by the three;
wise men of the East, writes the j
British ottlcial eye witness with this!
army. Two of the wise men who
sought the birthplace of Christ, are 1
reported to have been natives of;
Urmia, in Northern Persia, and their |
tombs are pointed out in the Church j
of Mart Mariam in that town.
The Nestorians are now but a rem- I
riant of a once powerful community !
smd are ruled by the Turks. They l
dwell mostly between Mosul, Lake 1
Van, and Lake Urmia, near the Tur-|
co-Persian border. They are divided j
into two sections, the AShiret, or free j
tribesmen, and the Ityat, or subject i
people. Included in the Ryats are
the Chaldeans, who dwell in the vil- i
lages of the Mosul plain and in the ;
chief towns on the Tigris river from
Diarbekr to Basra. The Chaldeans j
are under the intluence of the Church i
of Rome, while the others retain
their ancient faiths. Some of the Xes- i
torians are very warlike. Of those j
who dwell along the upper Tiari river 1
every man possesses a rifle or gun •
and carries a "hanjar," or dagger.!
The Nestorian is very religious. On |
Sundays he will not defile his mouth
by uttering a word rff the#Kurdish
language, which he regards as vile, j
Mexican Army Suffers Not
From a Lack of Generals
Mexico City, May 11.—The Mexi- ;
can army suffers from no shortage of |
generals. There are :07 of them In!
a total enlisted force of 123,823, an j
average of one general to 607 men. j
Colonels, lieutenant-colonels, and
majors constitute a little army of i
2,638.
Of the generals,eleven are comman- j
ders of divisions and many of them ;
have figured prominently in the war. j
They are: Alvaro Obregon. minister
of war: Pablo Gonzalez, commanding i
the division of the east; Benjamin
Hill, commanding the forces of the
federal district; Salvador Alvarado,
governor and military commander of
Vucutan; Candido Aguilar, on leave
of absence to run for election as
governor of Vera Cruz; Cesareo Cas
tro, governor and military command
er of Puebia; Francisco Murguia, |
commanding operations in Chihua- j
liua: Francisco Coss; Jacinto Trevino,
on leave of absence as member of

Dieguez, on leave as candidate for I
election as governor of Jalisco; and |
Jose Augustin Castro, governor of j
Oaxaca.
Dr. Wu Ting-fang to
Remain at His Post
Peking, May 11.—Although Dr.
"W'u Ting-fang repeatedly has resign
ed from the post of minister of for
eign affairs, his resignation has not
been accepted, and it now seems like
ly that he will continue indefinitely
in his post, regardless of his ill
health.
Efforts to select a satisfactory suc
cessor to Dr. Wu Ting-fang have
failed. Premier Tuan Chi-jui desired i
to appoint Lu Cheng-hsiang, former i
minister of foreign affairs. To sue- j
reed Dr. Wu. But parliament refused j
to approve the appointment of Lu J
Cheng-hsiang several months ago, j
and decided, when his name was |
again submitted, that it could not
vote twice upon the name of any
appointee at the same session of
parliament.
