IMPORTANT RIVER STUDIES.
The Drainage Systems Of South Atlantic
Coast

The surface water supply of the south
Atlantic coast and the eastern part OF
the Gulf OF Mexico is considered and
discussed in detail in part two of Sc
rios of government reports entitled Sur
face water supply of the United States,
1911" This paper is published by the
United States Geological Survey as wa
ter.supply paper 302.
The results of Investigations reported
in the paper were compiled by M. X.
Hall and G. II. Pierce. Practically all
the important river basins of the south
eastern states are considered and daily
gage heights and discharges covering the
year 1911 are given.
Complete Utilization of Power.
Determinations of rates Of water flow
are of Importance in leading to the most
complete utilization of the power of a
stream. At any reasonable valuation per
horsepower the undeyeloped power of
these streams is an important industrial
asset. In Georgia and the Carolinas
more than 100000 horsepower has been
developed and is being used by the cot
ton mills alone, and public-service cor
porations in these three states are to
day developing 100000 to 100000 add
tional horsepower to turn the hundred
OF mills and light the many towns an,
cities in the region. In the operation OF
the power plants already constructed and
in the financing and building of those
yet to be developed the problem of WA
ter flow is an important factor.
Everyday Value of Improvements.
Projects for providing water for do
nestle supply, for irrigation, and for
generation of power for factories cannot
be designed intelligently without a
knowledge of the flow and the behavior
of the rivers from which the supply is
to be derived.
Among the river basins considered are
those of the James, Yadkin, Santee, Sa-
vannah, Altamaha, Appalachian, Choc-
tawhatehee, Mobile, and Pearl, with their
most important tributaries.

powerful Notifications, are demand
ed ahead OF all else.
The Socialists, at the other end of
the political gamut, deride these
alarmist rawlings. They say Europe
would never permit Russia to rape
Scandinavia; that neither Germany,
France, nor Britain would permit it;
and that Russia would be powerless
with them opposed. Socialists in
sist that Russia is being used as a
scareorow to drive the people away
from consideration of the great So
cial and economic questions as to
which Sweden has been getting very
radical.
In between Socialists and tories
come the moderates, or liberS ais.
They have for long time ruled the
country; but recently the parliamen-
tary elections have given the conser-
vatives a large increase of represen-
tation. Neither party now has ma
Jority, and only a coalition ministry
can stand at all. Conservatives and
liberals are expected to coalesce for
the execution of national defense
program. After that they will be
unable to stick together, and the bat
tie of the Socialists ard extreme lib
erals for a more democratic system
will be resumed. At present the
King is somewhat rehabilitated be-
cause of his determined stand for the
defense program, and his appeal
over the heads of his ministers to
the masses of people. But he is
none the less ali unpopular ruler,
with little sympathy or understand
ing of his people and their aspira-
tions. That Sweden may be a repub-
lie before the irst quarter of the
century has ended is not at all un-
likely.

SUNDAY BALL CONTRO.
NERSY.

The Baltimore Federal League
club plays in Washington this after
noon, under protection Of an injunc-
tion by District Judge. Baltimore
does not permit Sunday ball inside
the city. Sunday games there must
be staged so Ear outside that attend
auce is pocr. So the Federals are
going to find out if Washington can
be made into sevcr-Cay ball town.
If the Federals may play here on
Sunday, Of course the American
League can also. But TO difference;
a seven-day ball town is a much bet
ter ball town than Il six~day one.
Should IT finally be judicially held
that Sunday ball may be played in
Washington, it is perfectly possible
that one Of the weaker Federal
League teams might re transferred
here. PittcbmSk'5 Federal team is
doing extremely bad business; Buff
falo is not far from the rocks; Kan
sas City is not much better. There
will plainly enough Oe some shift
inGg to keep the circuit complete, and
Washing ton, once iaised to the class
Of a Seven-day town, would be as
promising as another location. An
other year likely will see the Fed
erals in New Yorl:; bJt that is
long way ahead. At present their
problem is to keep their league alive
for the present seasons playing.

JOHN BARRY,

,Iohn Barry, whose statue in
~anklin Park was unveiled yester-
at, is frequently referred to in
: tories, and even in Grifin's biog-
Iihy, as a commodore This he
as not, for there was no such
rade in the United States navy
IN 1862.
But Barry was the first officer of
nc United States navy. He was its
"a captain, but he never was in a
a8le after that title was given to
! N, for the United States navy was
tot organized until 1894 and Wash
.toh did not appoint the list of
plains, with Barry at the top of
EMIL 1897.
Set Barry was a real commander

cEtinertal Congress gave him a
nmissiOn TO command the Lcxing-
~ on December Z, 177J. 1t was
le first commission executed by the
pDmittee and the Lexington was
ne first vessel purchased for the
AZ. So whichever way you look at
Barry Well deserves the title of
asher of the American Navy.

BELLIGERENCY.

! Now that the conStltutlonaliStS in
| Mexico have all but ended their war;
now that their struggle is near the
end, with the wonderful record of
having won every skirmish and
every battle from the beginning
now that it can't do them any good
whatever, we learn that their status
as "belligcrents' is aboat to he rec
ognized.
In fact, the British admiral in
Mexican waters has paid a visit of
courtesy which is accounted recogni-
tior; and the United States is short
ly to follow this action.
The Latin forbears of this word
belligercncy would indicate that it
means, elementally, the condition of
waging war. NOW, if the MeXicans
under Villa have not been waging
war for some months past, what un-
der the canopy have they been do
ing? The record might warrant some
doubt whether the federals were
waging war; they haven't failed to
be defeated whenever they made a
show of waging it. Yet they have
had a monopoly Of recognition"
thus far! The rebels, winning all
their battles, magnifcently gener-
aled, getting together powerful
army of veterans almost like magic
they could not be recognized at
all. ..-...
All this suggests that there is an
awful deal of nonsense about some
aspects of diplomatic and interna-
tional procedure in such cases. To
recognize" the fact that Villas
army is ''helligerent" is merely to
open the diplomatic eyes to what
cannot possibly be questioned. Why
should diplomacy and statecraft pre-
tend to be blind 10 that which cannot
possibly be doubtful or denied?
There is something so artificial
about distinctions like these, that
disgust with the whole diplomatic
procedure in invited. How can it be
expected that diplomacy can contrib
ute anything worth while to sit
uation, in which it thus blinds itself
to the most important facts?
Think of the sheer Stiffness of
these facts:
We have refused to recognize
Huerta rs head of the govern
ment of Mexico.
We have refused to recognize the
belligerency of Carranza.
Yet for more than a year Huerta
has been the head of the Mexican
government, and we Enow it. Car
rama has been not only belligerent.
but uniform victor in his belliger-
ency.
We have sent great feet to Vera
Cruz, landed a small army, taken
possession of the city. Yet we in
Sist that there is no war with Mex
leo,
These diplomatic distinctions are
rather too subtle fer the common
mortal. There is reason to suspect
that less subtlety and more straight
forward, common sense in dealing
with the actual conditions would
bring more results.
