service require the retirement OF min
lister or ambassador at the age of 10
years. and orders were issued for the
appointment Of Sir Edward Sanderson
as successor to Sir Julian when he
reached his roth birthday, a year ago
last spring. But, owing 10 the com.
plicnted questions in controversy be-
tween the United States and CANADA
and the impending war between this

to waive the regulations and allow Sir
Julian to remain In Washington anotb-

and his term Of service has been apain
extended twelve months to enable him
to represent her majesty's government
at the peace conference at The Hague.
Sir Julian Is now more than Il years
old. He expects to return to Washing

the winter. but next spring. when he
passes the age of 10. he cannot expecf

A special meeting was held last
night in the Marietta Athletic Club
rooms on Front street. The Boat
House has been leased fer one year,
and more convenient place could not
be secured. All the officers were pres
ent and began work at once. The
first thing brought up was that the
organization should be known as the
Marietta Athletic Club. The object
will be to fit up the Club with the best
Improvements. There are now 2S
members, with new ones coming in ev-
cry day. Mr.. Joe Bruner, the genial
boxer and all round athlete, will be the
Clubs instructor and a better man
could not be found. Strict rules will
prevail After discussing few minor
matters the officers departed, wishing
success to the new Marietta Athletic
Club. Another meeting will be held
next Thursday evening.

Critical on the River,

On the river boat owners and coal
shippers are simply waitingto see what
will turn up. There was no material
change in Lne situation yesterday. The
continued falling river, however, keeps
on making more dangerous the condi-
toin of boats and coal fleets that had
got caught in the -rozen ice at he
shore. There are quite number of
boats and fleets in that critical condi-
Ion, and it is thought there will .e
considerable loss from that alone.

chances will be in the event of sud
den rush of floating ice from the trib-

The DeyoI's Dam Electric Line.

Marietta should by all means get the
electric railroad line to Devol's Dam.
In addition ITO enhancing the value of
the property along the line and maxi
ing valuable building additions, the
plain land above and below Devols
Dam is the finest for truck gardening
and small fruits to be found in south-
ern Ohio q
But the trouble is now to get the
children during the berry season to
pick the berries. With the electric
line they could go out in the morning
in Is or 20 minutes and work all
morning or all day and return in the
evening.
The market here would be from
three to four weeks earlier for veget-
ables and small fruits than that at
Cleveland, Buffalo and other northern
cities.
The electric plant ii run by water
power at Devols Dam, would be very
