who are compelled to drive their stock
a long distance to the larger streams.
Their cisterns and springs have long
since run dry, and they are now CON
fronted with a water famine that may
prove very serious, The larger streams
are running low, and the Delaware
River has seldom presented the ap-
pearance that it does now, filed as it
is with heavy ice, from twenty-four to
thirty inches thick, and only a small
depth of water. The Peauest Creek
looks like a mountain stream, while
the water is frozen almost to the bot
tom. The condition of these streams
is a source of great anxiety to the pub
lie, and especially to those who live in
close proximity TO them. as a sudden
thaw or a big rainstOrm means a flood
that may sweep everything before it.
The only thing that will save many of
the bridges will be a resort to dyna-
mite in the eddies and at the dams,
thus opening up to a great extent the
streams to the flood that seems immi-
nent in the near future.

Bowlby, Cleveland, Keller, Linton n

cy to the war department. They have
entered the service of the New York

This came about through General
Francis A. Greene, one Of the chief Of
ficials of the trust. He communicate
ed with the war department this MORN
ing and informed Secretary Root that
the five young men had called upon
him in a contrite and %repentant state
of mind, asking for his advice and as
sistance in shaping their future. They
stated that no turpitude was involved
In anything that was charged against
them, and General Greene apparently
was of the same opinion, for, after
hearing their story, he proposed to
Secretary Root to employ the young
men in the service Of the Asphalt Com
pany. Secretary Root promptly re-
sponded that the war department had
no objection and that it was true
there was no charge touching the in
tegrity Of the boys, but only a techni-
cal violation Of discipline. So one Of
the young men will go Immediately to
Venezuela, General Greene having tax

ers will be disposed of according to
