Word has come to the good roads
workers iu Salem that the rural districts
will vote all right oa good roads and iu

some doubt is felt as tu how ISiileiii will

rural good roads workers that in the

Tho election records of Hay 15, 1U14,

of tho speciul election called June 4,

(United Press taff correspondent)
Paris, April 18. With every prepa
ration being made for reception of the
(ierman peace delegates April 25, the
Italians and Japanese continued today
to present possible barriers to complete
agreement on tho terms of the treaty.
Xo official information could be ob
tained regarding the present status of
the claims of those two countries but
it was generally understood the Ital
ians were still holding out for ratifi
cation of their entire expansionist pro-
grain, while it he Japanese were prepar
ing to reintroduce their racial equality
amendment to the league of nations
covenant nt the plenary session next
week. The lialians were said to he
standing pat on their threat to with
draw from the conference unless their
claims were granted. The Japanese,
while still apparently without specific
instructions i'rom Tirkio, were reported
to he ready to announce their refusal
to accept the covenant if their amend
ment were to be again turned down.
Mate Ready for Germans
Guests in the Hotels Vatel and Des
Keservoiis at Versailles were being
ousted today o make room for the

enemy representatives will ibe met on

sou, premier Lloyd-George, Premier
Cleiiicncenii nnd Premier Orlumln
who will formally present the treaty,
after which the German delegation
will return with it to Weimnr, where
i.t will be disi'iifsed by tho German
government and possibly by the nation

German Radicals
Fear Restoration
Of Military Rule
By Frank J. Taylor
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Berlin, March 30. (By Mull.) Radi
cal leaders in Germany aro sure they
see In preparation a coming militury at
tempt to control tho country tu 4he
guise of the "League Against Bolshe
vism," which is gaming strengin daily,
and which linn millions of marks at its
disposal.
Their concern is not confiiied to sym
pathy they may have for the Bolshevik
cause, but in fear that the militarists
will again get control of the country
and the government. Some o" the fadi-
ills go so far ss to say Germany is now
pructieallv in the hands of the militar
ists, and thut the Noske maneuvers aro
simply a means by which the unsuspect
ing government has militarism thrust
upon it.
The charge is harillv supported by tne
government s artions in becoming more
nnd more liberal in politics, under stress
of attarcks from the workmen. How
ever, there is reason to believe the rtd
icals are not entirely without basts for
their militarism fears.
Germany's greatest militarism danger
conns from tail seventy -nve inousuou
officers nnd old army men within close
proximity of Berlin, who made the army
their profession formerly and who are
now entirely unfitted for any other pro
fession and lire not knen to take up
ordinary work.
It Is an open secret these men want
to see a semblance of the old regime
back. Their sitm.tion is pitable, since
they have served their country faithful
ly and are now without suport, unless
the government continues the old sys
tem of granting them government posi
tions as a reward for their services.
This is just whnt radicals fear, and
they are condemning the cabinet for or
dering the old system sustained, ct least
until the present generation of officers
and soldiers are no longer to be dealt
with. These men are dungerous in the
government the radicals claim, since

complete disbanding of the Hindenburj

This, with the other forces the govern

and soldiers at large, gives a militury

ers, is pledged to rise to arms u caso

resentment thut a military force pre
vents them from joining forces withi
the bolsheviks in Kiissis, but tnere is
alsu ground for their belief that mili
tarists are secretly organizing and are
growing stronger. Whether they would
use their organization against a demo
cratic government is uncertain.

organization, and will soon be able ta
cope with a proletariat uprising if it
chooses to do so, according to report
regarding the secret gathering et Sup-

The steady growth of this group,
strongly adhered to and supported by

nnd of the Soviets on the oilier hand
(forebodes a struggle which will be noth-

claim they must support the government
