PLUG LEAKS IN
RIVER DANUBE
important Controversy Now StiTs
Baden and wurtemberg

Berlin, Sept 21.-Gigantic and un
parallel plumbing operations to plug
leaks In the bed of the River Danube
form The subject of a controversy be-
tween the Governments of Baden and
wurtemberg. which has Just been ap-
pealed TO the Imperial Bundesrat for
settlement, The case attracts attention
to the curious and almost unknown
geographical fact that a branch of the
Danube flows into the Rhine and thus
finally reaches the North Sea, thou
sands of miles from the Black Sea,
where. the main course of the Danube
ends
For some two or three hundred years
part Of the Danube has been passing
through a subterranean channel of Inn
mendingen, i'm Baden. emerging again
in the valley OF the Ril er Aach some
seven miles distant, where il forms tho
largest spring in Germany. The source
OF the spring was definitely established
some years ago by artiicially discol-
oring the water of the Danube above
lmmendingen. In recent years the
phenomenon has become increasingly
serious for the towns lying on the
Danube I'm Wurttemberg, which are 10
pendent upon II fer water power be-
cause the leakage Is steadily growing in
quantity.
WurttemberF is attempting TO asycr'
a., tor ,.fn lG
claiming responsibility on the ground
that the leakage is a phenomenon OF
nature, the latter country having =
deep interest in letting nature have
her way, inaSm1ch as numerous manu-
featuring establishments depending on
the runaway waters of the Danube
have sprung up in the valley of the
Aach.
civil engineers propose TO aettlc the
problem by carrying a surface channel
from the Danube to the Aach and
luilding several dams on the upper
course of the latter TO develop e,ectri-
cal power. The holes in the bed of the
Danube would then be dlcd with
cement, the total cost of the operation
being estimated at not much more than
$1,000, 900
