BEGIN CANAL WORK SOON
Big Crews to Start on the Benton Ex-
tension of the Sunnyside Canal

Two 250-men camps are being
prepared for the large crew of
men who will begin work in a
short time on the charging of
the canal below Grandview from
the fiftieth to the sixtieth mile.
This work will be done as the
first step in the Benton extern
sion of the Sunnyside canal.
The balance of the work will be
done by contract.
Watermaster Chri t n e n
states that it will be necessary
to double the size of the canal
for ten miles and that nearly
two-thirds of the work will be
in rock so that large crew of
men will be needed.
The size of the crew has not
been determined, but prepare
tions are being made to take
care of upwards of 500 men. 1t
is probable that 100 drill crews
will be necessary.
With all this work going on,
the coming season will be a good
one for the valley. Work on the
canal will be begun as soon as
possible. This work is entirely
separate from the pumping
plant project. The fiftieth mile
is two miles east of Grandview.

BIG INCREASE SHOWN
IN POSTAL SAVINGS
War Causes Small Depositors to
Keep Their Money in
This Country

The war in Europe is proving
a boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day
hostilities opened across the
seas postal-savings receipts be-
gan to increase by leaps and
bounds and Withdrawals fell off,
a result quite contrary to the
predictions of many well-in-
formed persons, who in their
imaginations, saw lines of fever
ish depositors at post-office pay
windows anxious to again return
their savings to the bootleg and
body-belt repositories whence
they came before intrusted to
Uncle Sam. But the forecasters
failed to reckon on the absolute
confidence of the American citi-
zen, regardless of the flag that
first met his eyes, in the ability
of the government to carry out
its obligations, not only among
the nations of the earth, but
with the humblest citizen of our
land.
Two important results have
followed; thousands of people,
largely Of foreign birth, accus-
toned to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons of our
postal-savings sys t e m; and
enormous sums of actual cash
have been released for CONNER
cial purposes when the need for
every available dollar is press
ing.
The growth of postal savings
in the United States has been
steady and healthy and the sys-
tenn has filled an important gap
between the tin-can depository |
and the factory paymaster. On
July 1, when affairs were run
ming smoothly here and abroad
and the transmission of money
across the Atlantic was safe and
expeditions, there was approx
mately $43, 100000 of postal saw
ings standing to the credit of
about $4,000 depositors. Since
then over $1O,OOO.OOO of depos-
it's have been added and the
number of depositors has in
creased enormously. This UNI
precedented gain is the more
striking when it is considered
that the net gain in the last
three months is larger than the
1914. Scores of Offices have
gain for the entire fiscal year
done more postal-savings bust
ness since the war has been go
ing on than was done by them
during the previous existence
of the service. The increases
are confined to no special locali-
ties, but have been felt in every
nook and corner of the country.
New York City alone made a
gain in September of more than
a million, while Brooklyn show
ed a relatively big increase.
Chicago reported a larger gain
in the past three months than
for the previous twelve months.
More than 1000 new accounts
were opened during the period,
bringing the number of deposit
tors in that city up to over
200.

HUMAN VOICE HEARD

MARcoNl AIDE SAYS IT CAN BE
DONE WITH WIRELESS rELE.
PHONE HE HAS PERFECTED.

London, Oct. fS.-But for the war
the human voice would have been
thrown across the Atlantic Ocean by
wireless this month. according to a
statement made by H. J. Round, one
Of William Marconi's lieutenants, who
has perfected wireless telephone in
strument which has just been adopted
for use in the Italian navy. This ap.
paratus, Mr.. Round says, Is guaranteed
to carry forty miles. and under favor.
able conditions should make voice
audible at sixty miles.
The British admiralty has displayed
great interest in the invention, and it
is being tested aboard English ships.
1t makes possible the transmission of
all orders from the admiral to the cap
tains in fleet by word of mouth, and,
should misunderstanding arise, even
during battle it could be cleared
away simply by ringing up the flag
ship and talking the matter over.

marked, "the same device could easily
make words spoken in New York au-

planned to demonstrate this month. 1t
would have been wholly a scientific
demonstration without present CON-
mercial value, owing to its excessive
cost. But the restrictions governing
wireless communication are so numer-
Gus under wartime conditions that ex-
periments Of that kind are out of the
question"
Mr.. Rounds apparatus is simple and
no more expensive than amateur wire

connection with any particular point a
selective scheme has been devised by

BRITISH COLORS
NO LONGER BORNE
ON BATTLEFIELD
(By Ex-Attache.)


Company
While German regimental flags cap
tured on the battlefield are being
proudly exhibited in Paris, and French
flags are being similarly shown at Ber-
lin as trophies. of Teuton victories, and
although scores OF Austrian regimental
standards have been conveyed in tri-
umph to the Gear at Petorgrad, there
has been no instance yet of the cap
ture of any English colors on the bat
tlefields Of France and Belgium.
This is attributed, not to the alb
sence Of any British reverses-for
there have been q number Of them
but because the English soldiers when
on active service leave their colors at
home.
True, the white ensign still proudly
fiutters from the masthead Of English
warships, when going into action, and
its hauling down is construed in the
light of surrender. But for sixteen or
seventeen years no flag has been car
ried by any English regiment when
campaigning.
Germans Resent Flag Absence.
This popularity attracted little or
no notice during the war in South At
RIGA. But it is exciting good deal of
attention on the continent of Europe
especially in Germany, where the fail.
ure of the English troops to bring their
regimental colors with them and. thus
afford the Kaisers soldiers an oppor.
tunity Of capturing them, is construed
there In the light of British injury,
and as another illustration of English
unfairness." 1t is to Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley that the British army
is indebted for the absence of English
regimental colors from the scene of
hostilities in the present war. He Sc.
cured the sanction of Queen Victoria
and the government to this departure
from the time honored custom during
his term as commander in chief in
1897, not without opposition.
madness and a Crime"
The arguments he put forward in
favor Of the innovation were suffici-
emily striking to be worthy of repro
duction:
1T would be madness and a crime
to order any soldier to carry colors
into action in the future. You might
quite as well order him to be assas-
sinated. We have had reluctantly to
abandon practice to which we at
tached great Importance, and which,
under past and gone conditions of
fighting, was invaluable in keeping
alive the regimental spirit upon which
our British troops depended so much.
"All war has been transformed by
the invention of the far-reaching and
fate-dealing rifle and automatic gun,
with which an enemy kills, whose face
is not even Sees"
According to Lord Wolseley. ebay
onets and sword blades seldom if ever
cross and clash nowadays. War is al
most reduced to a mechanical inter.
change of volleys and salvoes, and to
the intermittent fire of rifles and ma.
chine guns, with short rushes at the
last, in which there is no place for
the dignity and grace of the antique
battle Of the standard"
Criticised by Comrades.
But Wolseley's action was condemn
ed by military men everywhere abroad
and even by many of his own COM
rades in the English army. No one
opposed the measure more strongly
than the now veteran Field Marshal
Sir Evelyn Wood, who, like the octo.
