TOLL ROADS TO GO, SAYS BLACK Highway Commissioner Push ing the Work of Freeing Highways From Gates Forty-one and a half of the 625 miles of road remaining in Pennsyl vania will be freed by purchase of *urnpike rights by the State Highway Department in conjunction with counties within the next twenty days and will be added to the 197.07 miles ' from which the commonwealth has removed the tollgates since 1913. Thanks to legislative liberality more progress has been made in the last two years and a half in getting rid of toll roads than ever before and since the commonwealth has adopted ihe policy of working with count:e3 which have been willing "to go fifty tifty" on the cost it has been able to do much to relieve the State. The first appropriation was of SIOO,OOO made in 1913 alter the leg islative commission of 1909 hud re ported that there were 722 miles of toll road In Pennsylvania, and that all should be freed for the benefit of the people of the State. In 1915 an appropriation of $274,000 was voted and this year half a million dollars was appropriated, largely because the legislators found that counties were willing to bear part of the cost. The present plans call for prompt action in a number of counties. In Westmoreland county the Donegal- Mt. Pleasant tunpike is to be freed on a basis of share and share by the State and the county and its pur chase will remove the last tollgates in the Keystone State west of the Al leghennies, according to the depart ment officials. In Lancaster county, where there are 150 miles of toll roud a campaign is being waged to free iheni gradually. Similar moves are to be made in York, Mifflin, Delaware, Montgomery and other counties and the combined action of Dauphin, Lebanon and Berks counties will late this month take away the last toll gates between Harrisburg and Read ing at a cost of $70,000. Notable purchases of toll roads in clude those in Lackawanna, 4.3 miles: Lancaster pike, Philadelphia to Paoli, 14; Bucks. 20; Somerset, 8; Cetiter, 7; 5; Franklin, 39; i Fulton. IS.", and Adams. 27. The 1 first turnpikes were formerly freed by the late E. M. Bigelow when com- i missioner and his successors R. J. i Cunningham and F. B. Black have participated in similar ceremonies. The present mileage Includes 39 4.-! 58 on State highways, which*the Highway Department can condemn ; and 130.35 not on such highways. 1 TETLEYS f India and Ceylon ICED With a dash of lemon make the most palatable Summer drink.

Dissatis fied with the progress of negoti ations with Germany growing out of the sinking of the Argentine steamship Toro, the Argentine Gov ernment has broken oft the discus- j sions that were being conducted with the German Minister here and has sent a final, categorical note to Ber lin requiring a clear and linal reply to the Argentine demands within a reasonable time. The reply is ex pected within eight days. During this time it will be decided if re lations with Germany shall be broken if the response from the German foreign office is a negative one. The Foreign Minister and the German Minister here han been dis cussing for the last few days the question of the sinking of the Toro. The reply from Germany had led Argentina to believe that Germany \ was disposed to agree to the de- i mands of Argentina, not to sink any 1 more Argentinan vessels even in the war zone. In a discussion of the details of the conditions in Buenos Aires, however, it began to appear when it came to the final point, Germany was not willing to give complete satisfaction and pledge her self to respect Argentina vessels in the future. The breaking off of the discussion with the German Minister and vhe sending of the new note fol lowed.
