Philadelphia, Jan. ia far reach
ing effect upon American methods in
the matter of the mechanical equip
ment of seaports is confidently ex-
ported to come from the sessions toI
the Twelfth International Congress of
Navigation, which is to convene in
Philadelphia on. May %, and which
will call together the worlds great
est experts. on this and kindred sub
jects! t aang39 aglTe
This congress, which is to be held
in. this country as a result Of the in
vitation extended by the United
States government, comes at time
when all American ports are begin
ming to realize the Importance Of eff
fcient methods and means for hand
ling water borne freights.
The tremendous Significance Of the
opening Of the Panama canal, with
all that it means toi the lgrowth of
American COMMERCE, is being real
lied in advance by the cities that
will participate in the new and great
er trade. And each progressive AM
erican port is today shaping it's
course to obtain the largest possible
share of that commerce.
Value to American Commerce.
Coming at this time the deIibera-
lions of the congress will be OF UNI
usual value to American commerce.
Already the interest is being mani
tested by requests sent to the associ-
alton for the proceedings of previous
congresses so that commercial auth
critics may be informed as to the
worlds best thought on this subject
up TO the present time. Among those
who have written to the association
is Hugh Bancroft, chairman of the
directors of the port of Boston, which
is recognized as the most aggressive
of the ports Of entry along the At
lantic seaboard.
Among those who are to attend
the congress is Herr Dubendey, di-
rector Of the port Of Hamburg, which
is probably the best equipped port in
tho world. The fact that Herr Du-
'bendey is to take part In the DELHI
creations adds to their Importance in
the eyes Of American commercial au-
thorities.

ATION CONGRESS TO
3,es, BE IMPORTANT MEETING

That the facilities for mechanical
handling of freights in the United
States and Canada are inferior to
those provided in Europe is pointed
out by Frank w. Hodgdon, chief en-
gineer of the Massachusetts Harbor
and Land Commission, who will be
one of those to address the congress-
Adequate Port Facilities.
That the vital Importance Of ade-
quate port facilities is becoming more
thoroughly recognized as the time
approaches for the opening Of the
Panama canal is indicated By this
declaration made by Calvin Tomldns,
commissioner of docks OF the port OF
New York:
with the completion of the Erie
and Panama canals, and the prob
able termination Of the differential,
New York will no longer remain sim
ply the great Atlantic portal Of North
America. 1t will become the focal
'trans-shipment point, where the com
merce of the East and West coasts
of North and South America, and of
the Orient, meets the west-bound
commerce Of Europe. 1t will have at
tanned the same commanding posi-
ton as the worlds port which till re-
cent years distinguished in turn Ven
ice, Amsterdam and London. This inn
pending responsibility should not be
met by the prompt adoption of a
comprehensive plan and policy of
port organization and administra-
ton"
Most important Gathering.
1t is this appreciation of the fars
reaching significance Of the problems
to be discussed at the congress that
win make this, in the eyes Of all who
have to 90 with commerce of the ma
ton, one of the most Important gath
erings held in America. "
1t is now certain that the attend
ance 3f European engineers AMI navi-
cation Authorities will be very large
SO far as the attendance Of expertal
from this country is concerned II isI
now plain that this will be 30 great
as to make this congress in point Of
numbers among the largest ever held
in he history of the International
Association.

SUB STATION NUMBER ONE
OPENED AT BENNETT BROS

Brunswick people will be interested
in ,rhe announcement that sub-postal
station No. has just been opened
at the store of Bennett Bros, on New
castle street, which will no doubt
prove a great convenience to many
citizens, as stamps, etc, will be on
sale at the store at all times. Espe-
cially convenient will this substitution
be when one is in need of stamps
after the closing of the postoffice.
Brunswick has had SUBJ stations be-
fore, but for various reasons they
have been discontinued. Recently a
request was made for the establish
ment of the station at it's present To-
cation and the request was granted
by the postoffice department.

Tripoli, Jan. IA terrific attack
was made yesterday by large body
of Turks and Arabs on the Italian
column which was on the march
about ten miles from the town of Tri7
poll.
The Italian commanders have been
using time as an ally, They have been
strengthening positions held by their
troops and preparing for an advance
into the interior Material for the con-
struction of railroad into the desert
is arriving in large quantities.
The Arabs do not understand the
reasons for the italian delay and they
are impressed with the idea that the
italian army is unable to encounter
effectively the insignificant number of
loslems opposing it. Under the cir
substances even should the Turkish
roops be withdrawn the Arabs are
determined to continue to fight the
italians.
The Italian troops, which consisted
of letachments of all arms, left Tri-
poll early in the morning on the way
to Ghirgarish, an oasis about ten or
eleven miles along teh coast to the
west of the town. and surrounded by
number of mud forts which had
hitherto given shelter to Arab irregu-
lars. AS the soldiers were marching
along the road which runs parallel to
the coast they were attacked by a
large force of Turks and Arabs.
Details of the losses have not yet
been reported.

Not all the reports from the fed
eral census for 1910 furnish cheer
ful reading. The melancholy re-
turns OF the American insane have
appeared, and they provide plenty
of material for students of society
and the public health to mediate
upon.
The preliminary bulletin compares
the data of 1910 and 1904.
On January 1, 1910, the insane in
institutions of the continental IN
tied States numbered 1877 as
against 150,151 six years before.
The larger number would people a
,ity larger than Columbus, Ohio.
While the sane, or supposedly sane
population was increasing about IL
per cent, the insane increased about
% per cent. The ratio of the insane
in asylums to the hundred thous-
and increased from 1862 to 1888
These figures make appalling rec

is enhanced by the cat that the
statistics relate only to the insane
committed to hospitals. There are
not a few cases of insanity that
are not committed to asylums.
The supposed increase of insanity
amcng the civilized nations during
the last century has led many stud
ents of the subject to fear that
the tension and nervous activities of
civilized existence increases insani-
ty. Such States as Massachusetts,.
whore the level of intelligence and
education is higher than in any 9th
er American commonwealth, are
thought to lend countenance to
the theory, because that state has
the largest percentage of insanity to
the population.
But there seems to be another an
gle to the problem. 1t is at least
open to question whether the con-
tention be sound Much of the al
legged increase in mental diseases is
certainly due to the fact that the
area OF registration constnaly wild
ems. More and more cases are
found and committed to asylums
year after year.
When one reflects that the unhy-
genie conditions of ancient and orr
entail life predisposed men to un-
soundness of mind, and that mod
ern civilization increasingly tends
to remove such conditions. he in
clines toward the view that insani-
ty occurs with diminishing frequency.
