European Naval Situation

The avoWed and executed purpose
of Germany with regard to the force
of her navy and the rivalry between
Italy and Austria insuring a similar,
if smaller, development in the Eastern
Mediterranean constitute the main
elements of the contemporary naval
situation as aVerse to Great Britain.
That the Near East will continue
for a generation the tinder-box which
it has been for a half-century past is
more than ever likely from the events
of the last twelvemonth.
If general war should grow out Of
the present critical situation, how
certainly can the British navy secure
Egypt and SueZ?
Such security, if maintained, would
imply almost inevitably power to act
extensively also in neighbOring wa
tiers. If similar conditions were to
arise five years hence, how would the
situation be affected by probable
changes in the variable factor Of the
several naval fOrces-a matter of pre-
diction?
When in England last autumn | was
told that a German naval officer had
predicted some years before that Ger
man naval increase would compel
Great Britain to abandon the Mediter
ranean. Whether abandonment has
actually occurred may be a matter Of

PROMOTION|STS

I. PINEAPPLE day

The Promotion Committee is pre-
pairing for early mailing some severa!

be sent to steamship and railroad
agencies, hotels and tourist bureaus
on the mainland in order to adver-

Pineapple Day" was brought up at a
recent meeting OF the Promotion Com

slant favor and a motion made to
carry it out.
Following is the form of letter
which the committee will send to the
various steamship companies:

produces the best p;neapples grown.

Pic IRON RATES
FROM VIRGINIA
DISCRIMINATORY
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION GRANTS PETITION OF
low MOOR IRON COMPANY.

Especial 10 The Richmond Eirginian.1
Washington, D. C, July q.~The in
terstate commerce commission today
rendered a decision OF much import
ance to pig iron makers In Virginia.
The Low Moor Iron company filed
complaint against the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad and the commits
sion. IN rendering its opinion. said
Upon complaint or certain pro-
ducers of pig iron in Virginia, that
the rates quoted to them for the
transportation OF pig Iron from their
furnaces 10 points in New England
and the Middle Atlantic States are un-
reasonably high. as compared with
rates quoted TO producers Of pig iron
at competing points in pennsyiva MIA
and New York: held. that said rates
are unreasonable and un3ustly dis
criminatory and should not exceed
the rates named herein.
THE rates attacked IN this pro
ceeding are those upon pig iron from
certain furnaces IN Virginia To points
OF destination mainly In New Eng
land and the Middle States, Certain
Of these furnaces are located upon the
Chesapeake and Ohio. others upon
the Norfolk and Western. All rail
traffic from the Chesapeake and Ohio
furnaces passed through Potomac
FHraS ny the most niTeCt route. 8ntie
that from furnaces upon the Norfolk
and Western passes through Hagers-
town, From both points Of origin
there IN, however, another route via
Norfolk and the New York. Philadel-
phia and Norfolk. which route takes
a so-called rail-and-water rate. The
furnaces themselves ara located with
In a parativefy close range. and
the same rate applies from all these
Virginia furnaces. II was conceded
that Low Moor WIS fairly represen
tative OF points upon the Chesapeake
and Ohio, and Roanoke OF points
upon the Norfolk and Western. Tho
distance from Roanoke Is slightly
greater than from Low Moor 10 all
the points in question, but this diff
ference. in proportion to the entire
distance, Is not significant. and In the
present discussion Low Moor viii be
taken as typical OF the Virginia fur
naces.
I'VE are of the opinion and find
that the rates to Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York. and points taking
the same rates from the Southern
points here in question, are unrea-
sonable per sc. and that the rates to
Baltimore. Philadelphia, New York
and Boston, and the points taking the
same rates from the Southern points
in Virginia. are unjustly discrimina
tory. and that such rates should not
exceed the following: Baltimore.
s2.25: Philadelphia, s2.75; New York.

WRONG TO BUILD ROAD
ON POOR FOUNDATION
Spend Good Percentage Of Road Money
for the Enduring Features, Urges
u. S. Department Of Agri-
culture.

An important factor in the financing Of
good roads by county bonds is discussed
by the authors of bulletin No. 1876, OF the
United States department of agriculture
entitled "Iighway Bonds"
In this bulletin the authors point out
that in expanding money raised by the
sale of highway bonds the highway com
missioners should distinguish carefully
between the permanent and the perish
able features of the road. Foundations
drainage structures, alignment and
grades. are permanent features which
should be looked upon in the light of an
investment. If these features do not
comply with certain standard, it will be
poor economy to spend money on transit
tory improvements such as hard surfaces,
which must be renewed at considerable
expense from year to year.
Local conditions, of course, determine
TO a great extent the proper standards
for the permanent features OF any high
way. Twenty years experience in mod
ern road building has shown, however,
that there is minimum which any road
built on borrowed money should comply
with. A close study of 244 different
types of road shows that to meet this
minimum standard the following sums
will probably have to be expended for
three standard kinds of highways:
