Benefits From Them in Both War
 and Peace,

Hon. ]. Hampton Moore, President of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways as sociation. has issued the following:
 1t is growing more evident daily that problems affecting waterways deyelopment must be met by the of the United States. When nation like Italy declares war against Turkey and strikes out sud denlv with her navy, we are all able 10 appreciate what neglect on the part of Turkey means, when her a,hall torpedo boats go down in rapid succession under the fire of Italian cruisers. If we should be attacked along the Atlantic Coast at some such noinf as Boston, New York or Phila 6elnhia. and it should be necessary to get supplies up from the South. we would speedily understand the eX- of our neglect in failing to provide proper inside passage ways for the munitions of war. The eff feet would be all the more startling if our own fleet should be driven in or away from any of the Southern norts. and we should attempt to get small boats or provisions through the inland waterways of the South. This is only one phase of the question.
 No recent tragedy of the sea fails to remind us of the danger to life and property of outside sailing along the coast. In fact, these tragedies are so numerous that we have be- come caIlous to them and let them

projects cannot be encompassed. in a day, or year. We have met With such success in the advocacy of the Atlantic Coastal project thus far, that even though there be some who drop out, and others who are pulled out, we can afford to go on unceaslngiy, with the assurance that the ball started at Philadelphia in 1907 has never ceased to increase in size and influence in the rolling process through Baltimore, Norfolk and Providence, and that it will come up against the hospitable city of Rich mond, with greater enthusiasm, and supported by a larger number of ad- herents from larger number of States, than it ever had before.
 Richmond has provided a warm reception for the delegates and visit ors of the Association, and inasmuch as we have serious business to do in the great meeting that is before us, it is safe to say that both relaxation for the brief spell of the Convention period, and the consciousness of hav- ing performed a great public service will be the portion of all who attend the Richmond meeting.

 On the evening before the ship reached port, the sharpers demanded that the passenger make good his l. O. U. While they were engaged in an angry conversation with him, the other passenger who had been swim dled came along and took a hand in the argument. The gamblers resented his interference, when to their amaze ment he swung his arm around and landed a stinging blow On the jaw of one of their number followed by a second on the bridge of the nose, which sent him in heap to the floor. The women in the saloon set up a howl and for a minute or two the ship was in an uproar.
