Nagel's Department Caused Commotion

that his department had decide to let
the ships plying between the United
States and Central and South Ameri-
can ports clear for their destinations.
Tones of international law were
brought forth and diplomatic etiquette
produced and quoted to show that It
invited grave international complica-
5tions If American ships should sail
from our ports during internecine con.
ficts and insurgent movements in the
Central American states. #5 III
Then FMcHarg brought out the stat.
{utes Of the United States and showed
that the collectors of customs would
be subject to damages if they held
these ships when there was no state
Of war existing in any Of the coun-
tries, but simply little insured actions.
He told the officials Of the state de-
partment that he didn't want to en-
.barrass thier diplomacy, but the de-
partnent Of commerce and labor had
decided to let the ships have their
clearance papers. That was what hap
pened.
Up to the present time no one has
heard Of the wreck or ruin Of the dip
5lomacy that exists between the gov
eminent Of the United States and
those Of the Central American States.

N HERE was a connection, almost
u CONSERVATION, in the state depart.
ment a short time ago when the ener-
getic and active Assistant Secretary
McHarg Of the department of COM
merce and labor went over and talked
United States statutes against inter-
national law in the department.
There was Assistant Secretary Adee,
who is SO STEPPED in Internal onal law
that 1t exudes from every pore, and
Solicitor Hoyt, who has been SO long
i legal adviser of the government
that he knows everything in the way
of law that ever pertains to the Uni.

cation Chambe rlain, who has been
studying navigation interests ever
since the first part Of Cleveland last

his forceful manner, and remarked

WASHINGTON. Most people on
w coming to Washington for the
first time and about 70 meet a public
official are greatly perp1exed as to the
form in which they shall address him.
Naturally uniformity is desired in this
respect by all government officials
and for that reason there is an estab-
lished manner in which to greet pub
lie officials with whom one may come
in contact. The social code which
i governs social intercourse in the Off
3 cial set in the national capital sup
plies prescribed form which it is
necessary to follow If one would be
correct in, his dealings with officials,
whether Of a social or a business ma
ture.
There are some titled officials in the
army and navy who are granted a
higher rank socially by courtesy than
they are actually entitled to. For in.
) stance, lieutenant commanders in the
i navy are, by courtesy, in social life
called commanders, while those below
that rank lose thier official title and
are addressed as plain Mister"
The same rule applies to the staff
officers Of the navy. Likewise the as
sistant secretaries of executive depart
ments are called Mister and the
reason for this is obvious. It is moi
an easy matter to introduce naval
officer by the long and harsh-soundins
title Of "lieutenant-commander," Of
{ to refer to the first lieutenant of ar
executive department as "Mr. Assist
ant Secretary" while it would be more

SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out of
the c. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer following pursued
in the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort Of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some Of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up in Canada be.

"Can'dy")-"but if it looks good we

"You see, it's like this" said the
man from owa-quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been go
ing on in his mind for some time
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and
every farm that's offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us s11 and $12, so
that man can take up five or six
times as much there as: in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
TT isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
mot sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is a family affair. We
have no chance Of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities Of the neighbo boring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with US, we come UP here
and make little colonies with the chill.
dren around us, on homesteads OF
bought land. This makes it easier fo1
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-h homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to
gether, too. There won't be any slack
ening Of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in Iowa.

HERNMER ASKS STATE AID
Mohawk Valley Flooded and VII
lage in Darkness.
Men From Department of Public
Works Strive to Break Up
the Ice Jam.

Herkimer, N Y.-The food-swept
Mohawk Valley al in darkness at
night except for the twinkle OF
oil lamps and candles. The gas sup
ply, which comes from Utica, had
| been turned off because of a break in
the main. Herkimer was particularly
hard hit, because many residents used
gas for fuel and cooking.
Employees of the State Department
| of Public Works and of the New York
Central Railroad reached here to
break up the ice jam in the Mohawk
with dynamite.
The people of the village were over
whelmed by the disastrous magnitude
of the food, and there was little i'm
mediate prospect of the water reced-
ing. Practically every street in the
village was under water n but few
of the houses could be reached by
boats.
The key to the situation was in
the ice pack, which choked the pas
sage of Western Canada Creek under
the bridges of the New York Central
Railroad and the Utica and Mohawk
Valley Railway. Hundreds of pounds

the jam was still intact. The jam
has forced the creek out of it's channel
and it has spread over the entire vii
lage.
Mayor Grogan ordered the saloons
of the village closed. All of the man
u%facturing establishments had been
closed for two days when nearly all of
the retail stores closed.
The city water had been turned
off and with water surrounding them
on all sides the people of the village
had none to drink. The food supply
Is getting short and no relief meas
ures have as yet been taken in this
direction.
Mayor Grogan applied to Governor
Hughes for relief from the State and
received a reply that a force of men
would be sent from the Public Works
Department.
The current of the water flowing
through the village was strong and 1t
undermined many of the buildings.
The property damage, already enor-
nous, was increasing every hour. E.

Business Mems Association, in a tele-
gram to Secretary J. S. Cole, of the
Utica Chamber of Commerce, says:

Rochester, N. Y.-The Genesee
River went over its banks at Geneseo
and it was only eighteen inches be-
low the high water mark of July,

and caused farmers to drive their

The Earthquake Wave.

Seismologists say that every great
earthquake causes pulsations which
extend for thousands of miles in all
directions on the globe, and n emf
nent authority has likened such pull
sations to the long low swells that
sweep across the ocean Not long
ago an attempt was made to meas
ure the heighth and length of the
waves of an earthquake that occurred
in Greece, the pulsations of which
were perceived by the aid of a spe-
cially constructed pendulum at Birm-
ingham in England. The pulsations,
or waves, passed through the rocky
crust of the earth with a velocity of
about two miles a second, and each
of the largest of them, according to
the investigator, must have been
about twenty-eight miles in length,
but only half an inch in height
