been unable to manage. The Turks
were only half as strong as the allies:
but the commander took advantage OF
their intoxication to make a sudden
night attack. The Slavs were aroused
by the beating of the Turkish drums.
"The 0ttomans were upon them before
they could stand TO arms. They were
like wild beasts scared from their

CONGRESS DON'T UNDERSTAND
So Says Hampton Moore as to Defeat
Of c & D Canal Project.

In his monthly bulletin TO the mem
bers of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association, Congressman j.
Hampton Moore, president of that
organization, refers to the defeat of
his amendment for the taking over of
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal,
in accordance with the recommends
tion of the Government Engineers in
their report on the survey of the
Intracoastal Waterway from Boston,
Mass, to Beaufort, n. G.
While the necessity of the acqui-
sition and improvement of this very
important link il demanded by the
business interests of the Atlantic
Coast. vet the bulk of the moneys
appropriated for rivers and harhors
continues to 90 into the Mississippi,
the Ohio and Missouri Valleys. In
commenting upon his amendment,
MIR. Moore says:
1.-The truth is that Eastern i'm
provements arr not thoroughly un-
derstood in Congress and that the
campaign Of education must go on.
The unfortunate part of it all is that
unless the earnest and sincere water
ways men OF the country come TO
some better understanding with re-
gard to the commercial necessity of
improvements and the reasonableand
equitable distribution of rivers end
narbors funds, they may find them
selves seriously handicapped in OBJ
tanning future aid for entirely wor-
thy projects.

ADVICE ON FEDERAL
AID TO ROADS SOUGHT
Joint Committee Of Congress After
Information on Post Highways.
VIEWS OF PUBLIC ASKED.
Should the Appropriations be From
Government State or County or

The Joint Committee of Congress
that is considering the question Of
Federal aid in the construction of
post roads. has inaugurated CAM
psign for gathering information along
this line. In other words the cen
census of opinion Of the public in va
rious sections is desired on the mat
ter.
Circular letters signed by Senator
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., chairman Of
the committee, have been sent broad
cast and IL results are successful, the
COMMITTEES expects to be guided to a
great extent in its action BY the views
of the public. If Fed sral aid is to
be given to roads ia Anne Arundel
county, or in Southern Maryland for
that matter, it might be we'll for some
of those acquainted with general
conditions as regards the highways,
to express their views. Here are some
of the pertinent questions:
Should the Government make APP
preparations in aid of public roads?
On what roads should the first Gov
ernment appropriation, If ma lie, be
expended, (a) all roads; (b) post
roads lr. f. d. and star routes); (c)
main travelled market roads; CD main
highways connecting important cities
and towns in State; (e) trdnkline,
interstate highways connecting
State capitals and large eities7
Should the Government appropria-
ton be expended on construction, on
maintenance, on general improvement,
or on any or all of these, or should
the allotment by the Government be
unconditional, or paid as a reward
after local authorities have construct
ed or maintained highway in good
eondition7
What proportion Of cost Of construc-
ton, improvement or maintenance
should be borne by National Govern
ment, State, county, road district and
abutting property owners, respective
ly, or what amounts should be allot-
ted to the states on an unconditional
plan, or what amounts per mile should
be paid as rewards?
Should the Federal appropriation
be apportioned among the states on
basis of population, area. mileage Of
roads, mileage of rural and star
routes. taxable valuation or a combi-
nation of these?
Should the supervision of con-
struction or maintenance of Govern
ment aided roads be by the Federal
Government, the State and local au-
thoritie, or jointly?,

His Support Poor.

A Mississippi Democrat made sew
eral efforts to get a congressional
nomination. He was soundly beaten
every time, and at last announced that
he was going over to the Republican
party. Hundreds OF negroes were in
the district and among them the new
leader did most of his work Of organi-
zation. He built up clubs and held
meetings and when another election
period came had himself nominated.
The negroes paraded diligently and
the campaign had all the outward ap-
pearance of being full of hustle, but
when the ballot boxes we're opened
there were but two votes for the for
mer Democrat. and on top of that he
was arrested for repeating.-Chicago
