ing Some Highways

entered into an agreement with C.
H. Shockey, William J. Glessner and
Joseph B. Miller, commissioners of
Somerset county, for the construc
tion of an improved highway, ap
proximately eleven and one-half
miles in length. This road extends
through Brotherton and Berlin to
Meyersdale.
Under the terms of the agreement

half of the cost or construction.

appropriations for the current year
are made available for this purpose

lature.

ford county; C. Victor Johnson, for
merly a member of the Legislature
from Crawford county, and F. G.

, county link In a continuous route
from Pittsburgh to Erie. Mercer
. county has indicated its preference
tto build this road from Xew 'Wil
i mington, through Mercer and Green
ville, to the Crawford county line,
j near Adamsville. Erie county has
I indicated that it would prefer to

.through "Waterford to Cambridge
? Springs. This leaves Crawford coun
ty to connect by a road through Con
' neaut I.ake, Meadville and Saeger
' town with Cambridge Springs. The I
'Crawford County Commissioners in- I
' dieated their willingness to con- |
' struct the road on a fifty-fifty basis. |

pany, accompanied the delegation
, and offered a contribution of $2,000
a mile toward the building of the

Americans as Captives
By Associated Press
Berlin, May 25. —The foreign of
fice to-day emphatically denied as
sertions alleged to have emanated
in the United States that Germany is
intentionally holding Americans de
sirous of leaving the country. Their

layed solely by official routine which,

as Germans desiring to cross the
frontier, being without exception
called on to secure permission from
the police and military authorities.

I rary war measure, but as a perma
i nent Government policy."
