When may a road bo classified' as a post road un der tho provisions of the Shuck leford net, which provides for co-operntlon hetweon the government and the states In the construction and Im provement of post roads? Tho co-operative work planned by the stute highway department for this year depends on the answer to this question. Tho proposed, work de pends on the construction the govern ment officials and engineers may put upon tho meaning of (he Bhacklcford act. If tho uct is broadly Interpreted the co-operativo work will proceed without a hitch, anil If not thero Is hound to he delay, according to the state highway engineer's department. Two projects have been mapped out for co-operative work with the government this year In Improving post roads on a basis of the state putting up a dollar for ench dollar to be spent by the government. Ilotb are a port of the Pacific highway. One is tho Wolf Creek grade in Josephine county, and tho other Is In Douglas county. Tho proposed work In nou ghts Is in two sections, one providing for tho elimination of Huberts moun tain grade, and tho othor In what is known as Pass Creek canyon. Tho distance for the proposed Im provement In Douglas county is 10 miles and tho estimated cost $200, 000. So far the Douglas county proposi tion has not been presented to tho government engineers, but the Jose phine county project has, and It has not yet been approved by tho govern ment officials berauso they say enough data has not been presented to Incl lento that It is to be used In the future as n post road. Tho govern ment officials are asking for nforo proof on I Ills point. PERU 10 KAISER! , i AMSTERDAM. Aug. 23. The ll.-r-lln Vosslscho Zcltung announces that Peru bus sent ai. ultimatum to (ier- nnmy. The Hamburg prize court re cently refused tliinuiKcs In the owneri of tho Peruvian said vessel I.orton wnlrli was torpedoed February 6. off Spain. Tho court's reason was that tho l.ortcm when slopped ami asked for her nationality, hoisted (ho llrlt- l"h ring, it is alleged tho Lorton carried contraband. Tbo newspapers say that In view of the threatening lono of Peru's not, the imperial tier man chancellor has ordered the Ham burg decision referred to the upper court In llerlln for final adjudication. PEACE A DREAM, SAYS VON BUELOW U A I'OLTCY based on might alone and not on right is doomed to failure from the beginning, ' stated Di Itiehnrd von Kiiehlmaini, the new (ierniau foreign seere tary, in his speech to Hit; reichstag. lie eontinued : "The rights of neutrals and necessarv conditions we shall be most careful to respect," with the significant qualification. uns far as is compatible with enemy trickery and our own military needs." The world has had many examples of German careful consideration of tin; rights of neutrals, modified by (Jer man "military needs." Belgium is an example. Th United States furnished another example. Stripped of verbal embellishments,. the German policy consists in the recognition of right only when might compels it, and "military necessity" outweighs every law of Clod and man Further elucidating the German viewpoint, we have n new book entitled, "Imperial German'," written by Prince Jjarnhard von Buelow, former imperial chancellor, revised since the Mar, presenting the mat ure views of that statesman and giving a birdseye view of the principles that govern Uermanv, showing that the on) v god known by the junkers in military might to which all civilization must be prostituted. As to peace, Prince von Buelow savs: "Even if we had not been threatened with war during the last decades, we must realize that there is no such tiling as permanent peace, and must remember Moltke's words: 'Permanent peace is a dream, and not even a beautiful one. But war is an essential element or God s scheme of the world.' " War as practiced bv the Germans as an "essential ele ment ot God's scheme ol tIio world," is unwarned assas sination ot the unarmed and helpless on the free seas, neu; train as well as enemies; deportation and enslavement of peoples and lorcible suppression ot nationalities, murder ot women and children by bombs dropped from the skies upon school houses, bombing of Iced Cross hospitals and shelling ol patients, desolation and pillage ot fertile reg: ions, strangling of soldiers by poison gases and a thousand and one barbarous atrocities. As to German peace amis, on Buelow savs: "It crocs without, saying that the main object ol: the war must be to obtain tor Germany not only adequate compensations, but also guarantees which prevent any future war under the same, or similar, nnlavorable conditions. " Permanent peace, according to Von Buelow. is an idle dream. It is, as long as German autocracy with its bar barian ideals, survives. It will be an idle dream for the world until Prussian militarism is destroyed. ' War is an essential element of God's scheme of the world," echoes this most prominent of Germans. It is a glorious element when waged to destroy the Prussian menace to civilization when 1 ought to preserve demoe racy and freedom and crush autocracy and slavery.

But Uncle Sam, strange to say. refuses to be grafted, or-dei-s the camp abandoned, sends troops elsewhere and leaves Palo Alto to meditate upon its display of wisdom.
