WANTS BETTER ROADS TO CITY Commissioner Would Fix Big Ones First.

Demands that main traveled highways intd Indianapolis be put into first class shape before extensive “patching" operations on less traveled county roads are carried on was made today by Joseph G. Hayes. Marlon county commissioner, when the three county commissioners conferred. Mr. Hayes insisted that a careful investigation be made of the repairs ordered by John Cooper. Marion county road superintendent, in order to determine how far such "patch work" should be continued on lesser traveled roads. "We ought to do something for the people who use the more traveled highways." insisted Mr. Haves, “and I want to have Mr. Cooper In here tomorrow- and see what should be done to improve the more important roads before we spend too much money on these country lanes. “The people of Indianapolis provide most of the money that goes towards road work, and it is proper and fitting that we keep our main artery roads in better shape," said Mr. Hayes. Complaints have been received from motorists who come into the city that the main roads of the county are in poor shape, due to neglect of road supervisors, it is said, and Mr. Hajes argued that the commissioners should spend every dollar possible in bettering their condition. The commissioners will consider changes in the maintainance of the county roads, and will make recommendations to the road superintendent, it is understood. as soon as they can confer with Mr. Cooper.

EUROPEAN PEACE PUT UP TO RUSSIA

LONDON. July 28. -The question of peace or war in eastern Europe was put squarely up to Russia today by the allies. France and Great Britain are in complete accord in the new Russian policy. Their agreement was sealed at the Boulogne conference of Premier Lloyd George and Premier MUlerand, which ended last night. A note has been dispatched to Mos cow notifying the soviet government that Russia must consent to a general peace parley, with the allies as participants. if peace is to be concluded with Poland and the other states bordering Russia. The allies fear the Russians might attempt to inflict a "Brest-Litovsk" peace unless the allied statesmen are present to protect the interests of Poland and the smaller, states. It now appeal that Russia's proposal for a peace parley sought onlv allied sanction while the soviet government desir<*d to make and enforce Its own terms without interference from the entente. An answer to the'allies' note demanding participation by the entente now Is awaited. It is understood the allies have been influenced by the slowness of the Russians in ceasing hostilities following their acceptance of Polaud's plea for an armistice. There was a brief lull In fighting after the exchange of wireless communication between Warsaw and Moscow last Saturday, bnt this has been followed by news of fresh advances by the Russian army on the Polish front. The soviet war office. Instead of opening armistice negotiations at once, announced a postponement until July 30. The presence of Marshal Focb at Boulogne indicates that military measure? for the protection of Poland were discussed in the event that the Russo-Polish war aga'n breaks out in ail its fury. FRANCE INSISTS ON POLISH PROTECTION. France is insistent upon full protection for Poland under any circumstances; if peace negotiations begin or if war Is continued. France will play the dominant role in laying down peace terms if the Russians consent to a general peace conference with allied statesmen present ns active psrfiripants. Measures to assist Germany in financing coal deliveries to the allies also were discussed by the premiers at Boulogne. There are unmistakable signs that Lord Northcliffe and War Secretary Churchill have formed a combination to support the French If France makes an eleventh hour fight to block peace with soviet Russia and recognition of the Moscow government. Lord Northcltffe’s Times sharply attacked the Boul ogne conference, pointing out that France hod not signed the new note which was sent to Moscow from London. The stand which France has all along maintained regarding Russia was approved by the Times. The Evening News, another Northcliffe nev spaper. printed conspicuously a long article by War Secretary Churchill pleading for Poland as the “Llnch pin of the Versailles pence." The war secretary warns that If Po land Is broken from tbe borders of soviet Russia. Russia and Germany will be joined. "Germany would then be confronted with an awful, but In some ways a wonderful, choice,” said Churchill. “She could either link her own civilization in the bolshevik welter and spread the reign of chaos over the continent or she could build a dyke against the flood of red barbarism from the east. If the latter proved the case Germans would take a giant step toward self-re demption, which would lead swiftly to a great place in tbe councils of chrlsflandom. "Bhe would make much easier the sincere co-operation between Great Birtain. France and Germany upon which the very salvation of Germany depends."

CHURCH FOLK SEE BIG STEEL STRIKE World Move. Report Takes Up for Workers.

NEW YORK. July 28. Another strike in the steel industry is inevitable unless vital changes are made in administration of that industry, according to the report of the interchurch world movement on the recent steel strike wade pub He here today. A cor.v of the report was sent to President Wilson, together with a letter recommending that a special commission be charged with the task of effecting immediately a free and open conference between employers and employes in the steel industry. The report declared charges of bolshevism In the steel strike to be unfounded, and declared half the employes of tbe U. S. steel corporation were still working twelve hours a day.

A* a solution for unrest and prevention of further strikes, the report suggested adoption of the eight-botir day; recognition of the right to join craft unions and a vast extension of house building by communities where possible aud by the steel companies where community building Is inadequate or impossible.

AUTO RIDE TO HATCH SPEECHES Sen. Harding- Prepares for Front Porch Campaign.

MARION, 0., July 28.—Front porch campaign speeches are to be thought out and ebnstrneted today by Senator Warren G. Harding, the republican presidential nominee, during an automobile ride, if he can get aWay that long from his office. lie will make the first of these speeches next Saturday. Others will follow quickly, two more having been booked for early next week, when delegates will begin to come with regularity. There are only a few conferences scheduled for today. Unless detained by visitor's who are not expected the senator will take an automobile ride into the country, both to rest and to collect his thoughts for the Saturday speech, which will be to Ohio home folks. Political advisers of Warren G. Harding arc daily growing more dubious regarding the front porch plan of campaign and the-possibility that the republican nominee will spend less time in Marion than he originally expected, figured in speculation around headquarters today. Harding is understood to be as strong for the front porch campaign as ever, but some political advisers here from various sections would like to see the senator make a number of set political speeches in various cities, instead of the eight or ten he originally planned. They agreee with tbe candidate that he should not resort to barn storming and rear-platform speech-making. One influential factor is the vast number of letters and telegrams coming In asking Harding to make speeches in various localities. Another reason put forth by politicians is that local candidates everywhere and esaerially congressional and senatorial candidates want Harding to visit their districts to help them in their own fights. The rasln objection to the front porch campaign as some see it is the high cost of traveling, precluding organization of large delegations to some from long distances. . Each visitor would be expected to pay h,s ova expenses. Harding's advisers have weighed the pros and cons of the stay-at-home plan as against the stamping plan and they universally favor the front porch plan if it can be worked.
