exchange OF notes. had developed no
new basis for discussion

ia government and its reply.

the White House TO indicate what OBJ
ject it was hoped 10 accomplish

circles that President Wilson thinks

Z UGENE W. FRY, treasurer Of the Southern Trans

important result OF the acquisition of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal by the Federal Government
and its conversion into free waterway would be
reduction in the cost OF living in the cities and towns
along the line of such inland traffic What he says
deserving Of careful consideration by the members OF
Congress and particularly by the consuming public.
Mr.. Fry assert4, for instance. that such opera
on Of the canal would result IN saving Of forty
cent the of transporting coal and fertilizers
between Philadelphia aud Norfolk and that pig iron
could be shipped between Newport News, Norfolk and
vicinity TO Philadelphia Camden, Bristol and Bur-
lington at a saving OF from 30 to 35 per cent The
Delaware towns along the he says would bene
h from 20 to 40 per cent in freight savings by barge
traffic through the canal He adds that builders and
manufacturers could have lumber delivered in Phila
dephia at nifty cents less thousand feet than is done
under existing conditions and that pulp wood could be
delivered in Wilmington and Philadelphia at least fifty
cents cord less than present thus cheapening the
cost Of paper Mt Fry contends there also would be
saving Of 25 cent in the cost Of freghtiug rail-
road ties and that many other benefits WHY
the public through the purchase tree operation OF
the canal Those benefits will he increased, he says
by the opening Of the free canal across upper New

believe that Il y Of n'e greatest Importance to all

M EXlCAN revolutionists are making such headway
= against the forces OF President Huerta that
ultimately, with certain amount OF practical en-
couragement they may accomplish the thing the viii
administration desires but which it is averse to
resortng to force to bring about.
The reyolutonsts motto only have defeated the Fed
era troops in the north Of Mexico but are moving
southward to reehgage the enemy and drive toward
the City Of Mexico. It promises to be long and
desperate struggle but the reyolutionists find much
announcement from the fact that the sentiment Of
the nation, outside the capital, be swinging
thsir way. and that within the capital much favorable
but repressed sentiment exists and is ready to fame
out in due time to the discontinue Of Huerta Gen
eral villa and his revolutionary associates may over
estimate that strength of sentiment They
ing, however the admiration Of the world for the ef
feetive fighting they doing under the unfavora-
bic conditions which beset them
