Iowa Senate approves county option hard roads measure
The Iowa Senate passed the road bill 38 to 11 after a Price amendment creating a county option on hard surface roads. The measure allows counties to vote on surfacing via a board resolution or by petition of 10 percent of voters. Debate focused on uniform statewide development versus local control, with several senators voting against the amendment. The bill now moves to the House with anticipated concurrence.

Secretary Baker in Paris on American troop repatriation
Paris April 16 American troops to the number of 275000 are returning to the United States from Europe this month. Newton D Baker secretary of war said on his arrival in Paris from Brest. In May the number will fall to 250000 due to transport shortages but in June the figure probably will rise to 800000 and remain at that rate until all of the 1400000 men still here are returned. He said if an agreement allows troops to defend the Rhine indefinitely the only soldiers used would be volunteers. Baker said he was in France to work with the American liquidation committee and expects to visit Coblenz and the former fighting front with General Pershing before returning to the United States within ten days.
