Views of Revenue Service Men.

Officials Of the revenue cutter and life
saving services are exchanging views on
the question of federal means to protect
the peopled banks of uncontrolled rivers.
Capt. Charles A. McAllister, engineer-in-
chief of the cutter service. has suggested
that the crews of the sixty life-saving
stations along the great lakes, which are
discharged every year during the season
Of closed navigation, from December to
April, be transferred to the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers and their tributaries
during the winter months, when most
Of the floods occur.
He urged that at least three light
draught revenue cutters fitted with life
boats be maintained on these rivers to
rescue sufferers and to carry food sup
plies.
For every $1OO spent by the government
for life-destroying agencies-the army and
navy-Capt. McAllister estimated that
only one dollar is spent for saving life.
Annual interest ON the cost of only one
battleship at per cent would maintain a
magnificent life-saving outfit, he declared.
