WAR TEACHES GREAT LESSON
Soldiers Returning From France Tell of Many Advantages of Improved Highway System.
One of the great lessons at home which the great war taught us is that of good roads. Ask any of the soldiers from "over there" when they return how they found the roads and highways of Europe, and ask especially those engineers and members of the motor corps what, in their estimation, was one of the greatest advantages the allies had in the transportation of food and supplies and they will state that outside of a never ceasing flow of motortrucks and equipment, the excellent highways and roads permitted the uninterrupted use of this equipment.
