Sentiments Expressed by the Faculty
of Arts and Sciences.
Resolutions upon the retirement of
Dr. Charles w. Eliot, from the presi-

faculty of arts and sciences.

BLOW TO LAKES
TO GULF CANAL
Army Engineers Ready to
Decide Unfavorably.
REPORT Is FOR CONGRESS

Mississippi Channel Seems to Be the
Stumbling Block-known Attitude
of Experts Is That Cost of Putting
Through a Waterway of Fourteen
Feet Would Not BE Warranted by
the Estimated Commercial Advant-
ages to Be Gained.
From the known attitude of promi-
nent army officials IN Washington
the impression has been gained that
the unanimous report of the armv
board of engineers on the proposed
Mississippi deep waterway project
from ST. Louis to the Gulf of Mexico,
which probably will be before con-
gress before the end of next week,
takes the general ground that the com
mercial interests of the case do not
warrant the expenditure of the vast
sums which would be required to con-
struct and maintain the proposed
waterway.
Debate in congress evidently has
had the effect of expediting the con-
sideration of the question by the board
OF engineers. for it has been announc-
ed that they have completed their re-
port, which is now in the hands of the
chief of engineers of the army, Gen
eral William l.. Marshall.
According to law, the board was
authorized to pass on the data collect
rI ~
gress to examine the Mississippi river
below st. Louis for the purpose of col
lecting the data to enable the army en-
gineers to reach a conclusion, with a
view of recommending action.
The report of the board will not be
made public until after it has gone to
congress.
General Marshall will take pains to
have the report placed in the hands OF
congress as soon as possible, in view
of the criticisms that were made of
the engineers. Secretary Dickinson
will have the report before him and
after consultations may forward the
report Immediately to congress.
The proposed deep waterway from
st. Louis to the gulf is a part of the
great project to connect the great
lakes with the gulf by channel suf-
ficient to accommodate large craft
throughout the year.
According to the legislation adopt
ed by congress when it authorized the
survey Of the Mississippi, the engi-
neers were to collect data on the con-
struction of a channel Ia feet deep.

Her Answer,

An Atchison girl had proposal of
marriage and asked week to think
it over. She went to all Of her mar

belle, had three children, did all her

married. Another, whose husband was
promising young man at the time
she was married, was supporting him.
A third didn't dare say her. life was
her own when her husband was around,
