 OF "PORK BARREL" :"
National Rivers and HarborS Congress Meets in Washington to Consider Means for SeCur- ing Liberal Federal Aid.

WASHINGTON. Dc,, mos. important meeting ever held of the National Rivers and Harbors Con gress was opened here today for it signalled a relentless fight for liberal federal aid in the development of the inland waterways. With the Rivers and Harbors Bin in Congress under going a pruning from $53,OOO.OOO to S2OO00,O0O, the delegates from the river states declare that "war has been declared against the waterways of the United States"
 It is expected that President Wilson will accept the invitation to address the Congress. for the attitude of the Administration in this matter is eagerly sought both by Congress and by the waterway delegates who are known a sthe Second Congress-. The semi-ofncial announcement that the government will pursue a policy of retrenchment in appropriations particularly for river and harbor i'm provement. has brought protest from every section where the improvements have been planned and begun, and as

COMMITTEE IS HAVING HARD TIME WITH THE
 DEPOSITORS OF BANK
DepoSitors' Committee of the De- funCt Bank Have Hard Time in Getting Signatures of Requis- ite Number of People.

PHOENpXt Arizona, Dec To- While the work of the depositors committee in obtaining signatures on checks for 20 per cent of the amount of the deposits in the bank, in order to provide a fund of $200,OOO SO that the reorganization of the institution can take place immediately, has been encouraging to a degree. there are many things that cause a great deal of delay in obtaining signatures. One of these is that so many of the de- positors cannot be found or arc not in when members of the committee call for them. In order to facilitate the work the committee established headquarters at the Board of Trade rooms. where Secretary Welch and a corps of workers are on hand all day to attend to the wants of the deposi- tors. This was done so that the l those who SO desired. and the invita- tion is made urgent at that, could avail themselves when in town by calling at the Board of Trade and
 igning up for their pro rata Of the amount
 So far not many have done this, the vast majority waiting seemingly for 1 the committee members to call on .hem This action alone may be the means of great delay in obtaining the requisite amount and thus delay the reopening of the bank It is de- sired that as many as can call at the | Board of Trade at once and thus aid
 the work of reopening the bank md the work of the committee.
 There are nine thousand depositors of the Valley Bank and vast per centage of the individuals are small
 lepositors. Their help Is needed to make the thing go as much as the help of the bigger ones. The mem- l 5ers of the committee worked hard all day yesterday and far into the night on the host of checks More
 workers turned out last night than ever before and great deal of as-
 'istance was thus obtained in locat- Ing certain depositors
 Dr. Norton Of the committee said yesterday: Tt is of the utmost im- portance that we get these checks
 lgned up Immediately. Every day's delay fig harmful and costly. There will be plenty of people at the Board of Trade to attend to those who call to sign their names to the checks that are on file there. urge every de pCsitor who has not been approached to visit the Board of Trade today"
 Yesterday the corporation commiss ion granted permission to the Valley Bank Adjustment company to issue stock to the extent of S35O.O0O at the rate of $20OOOO preferred and Sl5O. i 900 common This step therefore has been completed and legal per mission for the reorganization of the Valley Bank has been obtained.

all sections of the country are in volved. the gathering today was un- usually large and unusually anxious to thresh out the matter. Every del egation has fits pet bone to pick with the opponents of liberal appropria- tions. Some pointed remarks win prob ably be made regarding the recent flI- ibuster on the appropriation bill.
 The waterways relegates are deter mined to remove odious term pork barrer from the appropriations sought It is claimed that a great deal of misunderstanding exists in and out of Congress on the subject To meet the emergency it is prob able that a comprehensive schedule of waterway development will be en- dorsed. When this movement was ad- yanced last year, it was feeble and unsuccessful Those who advanced the idea could read the handwriting on the wall, for the epithet of pork 1 barrel' was assigned as the reason why President Wilson arefuny avoid 1 ed attending the convention.
 1 It is fully anticipated that the del ] egates will eagerly endorse a reform ! measure, such as that proposed by [ Congressman James A. Frear of Wis , consin, Co abolish pork barrel legis- lation entirely and create a strong ad- visory board of high class men, in- cluding army and civil engineers and members fthe cabinet, to have su- | pervision of all waterways Such a | board, making its annual recommen- dations to Congress, would act for the scientific and logical benefit of water ways development
 Congress" says Mir. Frear, "can cure a growing cancer only by using the surgeons knife. Such cure would redue the present heavy tax burdens and give many millions of dollars an- nually to legitimate governmental ex- penditures. Suh method of handling the waterway problem would make a | short shrift fthe annual trade and other influences with which it comes 1 in contact"
 Fully 2,0O0 delegates are attending the waterways onvention. Mr. Kai Flu shan, the Chinese minister, will speak on the waterways of his country. which have been in constant use for thousands fyears. Champ Clark, Senators Weeks, Simmons. Smith of Michigan and ex-Goyernor Dineen of Illinois are also to speak Ex-Mayor Magee Of Pittsburg; John H. Barn hard of New Orleans; and Irving c.

BRITISH COOKS PUT IN LINE TO FIGHT
 PRUSSIAN GUARD
Furious Charge of KaiSer's Crack Corps Almost Broke Through Defense But Humble Workers Saved the Day.

LONDON Dec. To- Details of the operations of the British troops ai the front from November 23 Co 25 are given in a report issued today. under date of November 2G from Brit. ish headquarters The report in part says;
 Since the enemy desisted from his attacks in force the fighting has been resolved into a competition in snipiug and small affairs on the out. posts all along the line where posi- tions are contested with rifles. hand grenades bombs mortars and mines Our aeroplanes have been especially active in the last two days. having dropped 12O bombs"
 The account refers Co several in stances in which German attacks were repulsed. particularly on Novem ber 23 to the south of the River Lys There, it is said the Gurkhas did considerable execution at close quar ters. They even penetrated some Of the German trenches, where they wielded their curved swords with great effect
 The report again refers to the eff. cacy of German discipline IL says that the British soldiers on one occa. sion heard the command "vorwaerts" coming from the woods It was fol- lowed immediately by rush of Ger mans. Once twice and thrice this was done. Each time the Germans were moved down. Then the order was given again. This time, however. there were loud eXclamations of "Nein, neini" and no advance was made
 The repulse of the Prussian Guard is again dwelt upon.
 After the enemy had broken through our front line the situation became most serious,' the report continues, flor there were only two field companies of the Royal Engi neers available at the moment as reserve in this quarter of the field On the right front Of the German at. tack, firing through open spaces in the woods. were heavy batteries and AANiA baAAf.l ANn WlllAM NEdlL llAhOt among the attackers, both before and after they reached our line. But the Germans continued to come on al- most uR Go our guns Some bodies were picked up only 70 yards from the guns
 Realizing that all might be lost unless a firing line Of some kind could be established battery officers man aged to form a line of punners, regi- mental cooks and details of various descriptions. These men stood firm and kept up a steady rife fire. They checked the assault at the most crit ical moment, thus enabling other troops to come up to repel it more completely"
 Other incidents taken mp in the re- port are the movements of British cavalry by motor cars, thus adding one more novelty to the roles which the cavalry has played during the war: the blowing up of a farmhouse containing German sniDers: the heat ing of trenches with braziers' stoves and the transport service, whose work in supplying food is commend. ed.
 No little part of our success" says the report in this connection lis due to the ample quantity and excellent quality of the food It is probably not saying too much to assert that no other soldiers in the fed had ever been so well fed"

BEEF TRUST IN ARGEN,
TINA.

The announcement by the Depart
ment of Agriculture that after an
investigation in the Argentine it
finds the meat export business of
that country is mainly controlled by
the American packers, will not at
all surprise people who have been
keeping in touch with the war for
control in. the great South American
stock country. The American pack
ers invaded the Argentine with a
financial backing that enabled them
TO surround the business. They al
ready had market connections and
distribution facilities established in
Europe. These had been built up
when they were needed to take care
OF an exportable surplus of Ameri-
can meat. AS time passed and the
American export surplus was being
gradually whitfield down toward the
vanishing point, the American in
terests found themselves in need of
some other sources of supplies to
keep their European business going.
They turned to the Argentine, and
the war in which they worsted the
Anglo-Argentine and Franco-Argen-
tine packing forces is one whose de-
tails, oddly enough, are much better
understood in Europe than here. 1t
is enough to say that the experience,
expertness and financial resources
OF the Americans won, and that
without doubt the department is cor
rect when it pictures them as in
substantial domination of the Argen-
tine market today.

THE ANTHRACITE CON-
BINE.

Institution of an antitrust suit
against the Lehigh Valley railroad
and it's subsidiaries engaged in
handling its anthracite interests, re-
calls that although the Govern
ment's fight for control of the an
thracitc combination is one of the
oldest and hardest contested ever
undertaken under the Sherman law,
not much progress has been made
toward establishing competitive con-
ditions or enforcing more moderate
prices. The interlocking of interest
between the coal railroads and the
coal operating concerns has Become
so intimate that unscrambling is
peculiarly difficult.
1t was supposed that the COM
modities clause of the interstate
commerce law had been construed
broadly enough to end the oil COM
bination. The railroad interests
used to conduct the business of min
ing and selling coal, through sub
sidiary corporations whose stock
was owned by the railroads. When
this was held to violate the spirit
and intent of the law, the Lehigh
adopted a new plan. Having a biz
surplus, the railroad company order
ed distribution of a part of it
rather more than $6,000,O00-and
then permitted the stockholders to
take their distributive shares, not in
cash, but in the stock of the Lehigh
Coal Sale, Company. Most of them
did this, and as a result the Coal
Sales Company was owned by the
majority stockholders of the rail-

REPEATING FREE TOLLS
LAW.

There can hardly be doubt that
the effort of the Administration to
repeal the free canal tolls law is
unpopular with the country at large
Right or wrong, the country feels
that, having built the canal at a
very large cost, America ought to
enjoy the privilege Of using it to en-
courage the development of Ameri-
can shipping.
international aspects necessarily
weigh more heavily with the Ad-
ministration, charged with handling
the detail of foreign relations, than
with the public. There is a wide
spread feeling that if, the Hay
Pauncefote treaty was a mistake,
the mistake ought somehow TO be
undone, rather than to make fur
ther sacrifices of the national in
terest.
This feeling in the country is re-
fiected in the divisions of Democra-
tic and Republican support on the
general question of repeating. Some
of the Democratic leaders, notably
Mr.. Underwood, find that it would
be ruinous for them, from a political
point of view, to stand by the Presi-
dent in his repeal demand. In New
York and New England, especially,
is this situation found. 1t is report
ed, too, that an Ohio democratic
Congressman has been taking a
referendum in his district in the
effort to learn how his people feel,
and that this canal program is the
one feature of the Administration
program on which the large ma
jority are unable to give support to
the President.
Without much doubt this repeal
issue will be a large one before the
Congressional campaign of the pres
ent year ends. Yet it is hardly pos
sible that it will have a dominating
influence in the campaign in many
districts. The President has given
out word that tbs bill for creation
of land banks must pass before Con-
gress adjourns. That bill is going
to be very popular with the farmers.
1t VII have d direct and instant
appeal to them viii its promise of
lower interest rai"4 on the billions
of money borrowed by the farmers.
Meanwhil" the feuJ between the
various clements that formerly
made the Republicans the dominant
party, is growing more bitter. 1t
is plain enough that some. at least,
of the leaders arc determined that
it is to he a war of determination.
The language which Mr.. PinchOt
used at Huron the other day. and
that in which Senator PenrOSe re-
torted to him. is not the language
of diplomats negotiating the prelimi-
naries to peace. 1t is the language
of defiance which has in mind that
determination would be better than
peace. The Democrats need have
little fear of such issues as canal
tolls and the tariff. if only they can
keep their enemies divided and can
prevent industrial depression spread
ing 10 the extent Of calamity.
