CIVILIANS ARE PROBING
THE UNITED STATES NAVY.
Three Engineers Will Suggest More
Efficient Administration.

The United States navy is in the
hands of three Philadelphia civilians
after April l for an indefinite period
These three men are to go through the
navy department in every detail and
place its administration on more eff
cient and economic basis.
Charles Day of Dodge 6 Day, Har-
rington Emerson of the Emerson En-
cheering company and H. L. CAN'T,
three of the leading efficiency engineers
of the United States, are the men.
The investigation of the manner IN
which the navy is being conducted, Of
the work done in navy yards and the
general system of operation is the out
come of the declaration of Attorney
Brandeis, one of the chief counsel rep
resenting the shippers during the re-
cent railroad rate hearings. He de-
clared then that there is no need of
an increase in rates. saying that any
railroad could make its system pay
with more efficient and economical
management.
This statement aroused the govern
ment and Immediately steps were TAX
en- to investigate the navy and, if pos
sible, place it on a more efficient work
ing basis. The government selected
the Philadelphians for the work be-
cause of the character of their expert
ence. They will go to sea with the
big battleships and see how they are
manipulated. They will learn how the
men fire the engines and try to note
waste and ineficiency. Later they
will return TO the navy yards and be-
gin their work of investigating there.
Each of the three men will have so
many yards to investigate and report
upon, and in every detail they will
work separately.

MILLIONS DOOMED
Lack Of Food Creates Terrify-
ing Conditions in Anhui
Province, China.
A MISSIONARIES LETTER
Starving Hordes Tear Bark From
Trees and Eat It-Help Must
Come From Outside.

Pathetic details OF the sufferings
from famine in Anhu and other prov
inces of China reach the mission
boards in every mail. In letter to the
board OF foreign missions OF the Pres
ter, a missionary stationed at Hwai-
yuen, in Anhui province. writes:
81 never really knew what the Lords
Prayer meant until today. We came
to a village where some Christians
gathered for worship. To hear that
company OF men say Give Us this day
our daily bread had a strange sound
when we knew that not one of them
had so much as seen bread for many
a day unless you call pressed sweet
potato vines bread Somehow that
prayer must be answered. We cannot
let these people starve."
A million persons in the region Just
north OF his station, the Rev. Mr.. Car
ter says, will die of starvation before
summer unless help comes from out
side. He adds:
Wheat Fields Flooded.
at is only as we look closely and
ask questions that we find out the
real state of affairs. We look at the
fields that looked so prosperous with
the winter wheat and we realize that
those fields were all under water last
summer, the fields of over 100000
people. and that the wheat that we
see will not be ready until June. and
before that time, unless help comes,
the larger part Of the people that
planted the wheat will be beyond u.s.
ing it.
And now we look again at the peo-
pie who had come down to meet us
with their full rice bowls-in the bowls
there is no rice. The bowls contain
chiefly hot water and some weeds
gathered from the fields mixed with
few grains of precious wheat
bought with the relief money just
given by the government, relief that
amounts to about 8 cents gold, given
only to the very poorest-that is, to
about half of the population.
This is something of what famine
means now. What it is going to mean
soon we scarcely dare to think, for
it is still five months before wheat
harvest. Already in many places the
bark is taken from the trees and
eaten"

BIG DAM NEARLY FINISHED.
Belle Fourehe Project Is Worlds Lar
sest Earthen Embankment.

Belle Fourehe Project Is Worlds Lar
sest Earthen Embankment.
The big Belle Fourche irrigation
dam in South Dakota. which is the
largest earth embankment in the
world, is nearing completion. Con-
struction of the project was author
lied by congress on May 10, 1904. at
a cost of $5.O0O,OOO.
From an engineering standpoint the
Belle Fourche project is one of the
most interesting which the govern
ment has yet undertaken. It's prin-
cipal structure is the earthen dam
This wonderful dixie. which closes the
lowest depressions in the rim of n nat
ural basin, is 6,2O0 feet long. 90 feet
wide on top and rs feet high in the
highest place.
The inside face of this structure.
which has a slope of two TO one. will
be protected from wave and ice action
by two feet of screened gravel. on
which will be placed concrete blocks,
each 4 by 6 feet and 8 inches thick.
The cubical contents of this dixie viii
be 100000 cubic feet, or about half
of the famous pyramid of Cheops.
The reservoir created by this dam will
cover about 1900 acres and will be
the largest lake in the state.

improved American cables yesterday
and the continued good demand from

buying on the apparent general tight
ening up of offers. and Australian and
Argentine offers were more firmly held.
Advices from Germany continue unfa-
vorable and the very cold weather
there as well as in the United King
dom caused much support. During the
morning there was free realizing as
shorts became satisfied and most of
the advance was lost, and at l 80 D. N.
