LEGION INVITED
TO GERMANY
Berlin, Oct. 18. Members of the British Legion "who, in a chivalrous manner placed themselves at the disposal of the just cause of peace in difficult times" have been invited to visit Germany an guests of the German ex-Servicemen's League from October 20 to November 7, according to a telegram to the British Legion, signed by the Duke of Coburg, head of the German ex- Servicemen's League.

Wild and desolate, however, the craggy Highlands and horizon-wide pent bogs must always have been.
Until now the state of the crude, roads which, except waterbound froin the sen, are the only means of access to the scente grandeur of this Gnelle-speaking lip of Scotland, has kept the timid motorist away.
When "The Road," as it has come to be called in Sutherlandshire, is Anished, it is reasonable to expect that a stream of trame will flow northward which may well alter the habits and outlook of these remote Highlanders and bring a measure of prosperity to them.
A hundred years ago Laxford built the roads that have had to serve Sutherland men till the present day.
Modern rouds, only made possible by
n 100 per cent. grant from the Min- istry of transport, have been too long in coming, and no doubt the lack of them hea been responsible for the unchanging mode of life of the crotters.
