THE WAR PRIMER
By National Geographic Society

Suez CanaI-'Froqn the morning history, the West has sought 10 break into the East by way of Suez- Some where during the years 135o-1S90 E. C.. the Egyptians, under Seti I and Harnesses II. joined the Nile by way of Lake Timsah to the Red Sea, thus opening a waterway. the archetype of the present canal, from the Medi- terTanean, over the Suez Isthmus, to the Orient. This canal was choi1ed by sand in the course of ages. Nacho, ancient Bubastis, and Darius Hystas- Dis, one hundred years later, complet- ed the work, once more bringing the Red Sea and Nile together. Although nearly choked up by the beginning of the Christian era. it was navisable to a degree as late as the Battle of Aetiun, and some of C1eopatras ships escaped this way to the Red Sea.
 'fTrajan restored the canal. It fell into disuse and chofSed up again. An1ru, the Islamic conqueror of Egypt. restored 1t for the last time in the Red Sea Napoleon caused the old route to be surveyed, but was forced to drop the project. After him. Metternich, the great reactaonAE.y Prime Minister Of Austria Hungary stimulated a Suez commission in 1s4z. Nothing, however, came of 1t.
 E.As the world well knows, the Suez Canal was built by the man who fail ed to build the Panama Canai-@Count Ferdinand de Lesseps. Its original depth was 25 1-4 feet, and its bottom width T2 feet. It could accommodate ships of 277-12 feet, but it was in operation 11 years, beginning fn 1868. before vessel of such draft sought passage. By 1890 its depth had been increased 29 1-2 feet, and when the United States announced it's iutAn- tion to make canal q feet deep and 800 feet wide at it's naFr0West bottom point, at PalaLna, the work at Sue3 was extended so as ultimately to Eiye bottom width of 1S4 1-2 feet ana a depth of S6 1-1S feet. It was expect ed that this enlargement would be complete by next year. but the var has interrupted operations.
 How much larger than fhe aver age demands for a. canal the Panama waterway has been made Is striEfng- fy shown by a statement from Suez to the effect that only one per cent of the ships seeking passage by that route have a draft of 3s feet.
 ''In 1869, ten vessels passed khPough tfne Suez Canal Tn 1912, 5.S1s ships steamed s thEo1Eh; ot - s929s.aso 4.;a ;so.,, net around se5.o00, o0o.

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Wilson in his second an- nuaI message personally delivered 10 congress maintains the conmendaole habit of breVity. He puts what he has to say in such form that It IS not made tiresome by It's length, when read or listened to. In outlining the uroeranl for the short session he has coyna directly to the point concerning various questions of much importance and characteristic of his past inclina,- tions has told congress just where he stands and what he expects it to dc.
 Under the belief that having been started they should be finished by this congress, he urges the passage Of the two measures concerning the de- velopment of our natural resources, with proper safeguards. and the en- couragement of greater power deEel- oprnent from the rivers of the country Extraordinary efforts are urged in view of the extraordinary circum- stances which prevail And for the same reason attention is directed to the necessity of congress meeting the opportunity furnished by new mar 1zets through the entrance into gov ernment ownership of steamships, even though "it may seem a reversal of the natural order Of things
 The president also takes q firm stand fin behalf of the bill for giving in- creased self government to the Phil ippines, for a. survey of the coast of Alaska as an aid to the development of that territory and the confirmation of the convention for safety at sea. Ressrvfng for the last he wisely de- c1ares for government economy with out shaping any direct policy for it's attainment and declares that I've have mot been negligent of national de- fenge" as if in refrtation Of the claims being advanced in behalf of an inves- tigation of our preparedness for war When in reference to our naval pol icy he declares there is no new need to discuss if'' there is serious doubt whether such will be the view taken by congress. It is we'll that the pres 9deut, in presenting the various ques- tfons has urged congress to face them without partisan feeling like men who have forgotten everything but a com mon duty"

The new dances seem to be dropping out of popular favor. Last season the tango and other dances of a like na- ture, were in the limelight, and many dancing parties were arranged. This year but very few dances are being given, and the attendance at these has been light. The time is not far distant when the old dances will be in vogue again, and then activity can be looked for in dancing circles. In several of the large cities of the coun- try the old dances have come back into their own, and other places are following suit. About all the new dan ces accomplished. was to make a few persons wealthy. New Britain Reord.

There is more than sufficient reason for the action which is proposed by the board of aldermen making more effective control of the streets by the city as far as making excavations in them Is concerned. It is obvious that the present system is full of flaws and does not operate to protect the pave ments about the city or guarantee their restoration to good condition af- ter underground repairs have been made by citizens or corporations. It is to be hoped that the aldermen will see the wisdom of placing the issu- ance of permits for excavation work upon the streets in the hands of the man who is in charge of street work and can give his personal supervision to operations upon the new pavement and compel its restoration to good condition in every instance.-Ansonia Sentinel.

MAYOR FAVORS The
GREAT WHITE WAY"
DR.. McCLENDON SAYS 1T WILL
DO MUCH TOWARDS ADVER-
Using THIS RESORT.
Will Show to the People That Hot
Springs is Progressive, and VIII
Cause Visitors to Write Home Of
Improvement.

Mayor McClendon yesterday after
noon registered his support with the
committee on the Great White Way"
for Central avenue, when he stated
that he believed this proposition
would prove a great and permanent
advertising feature for the city, and
that our visitors would be so inn
pressed with our efforts as to com
ment favorably when writing home
from the resort.
The committee had just concluded
securing direct proposition from
president Sanderson of the public
utilities company when the matter
was taken before Mayor McClenG>n.
Before that time the committee had
anticipated the support of the admin.
istration, but had not been in pos
session of a direct proposition to put
up to the city.
1t was most gratifying to the citi-
zeIs' committee to h ave the support
of Mayor McClendoa, who authorized
AiAN Wy Nltl n ~ tdAl inc tOuuLll iAlO
an informal meeting Thursday after.
noon at o'clock for the purpose OF
taking the next step by putting the
proposal before the members of the
council.
The most interesting development
in the procedure is the estimate from
President Sanderson that If the work
is entered upon Immediately the
whole system can be inaugurated and
in operation by December 90 which
means that it will be here before the
winter season of patronage begins.
Another interesting feature Of the
situation is that the expense of in
stalling the poles. or that one thiri
portion Of that expense which falls
on the business man and property
owner, may be paid for in install
ments, an arrangement for which will
be made through the local banks, and
which viii leave the burden Of the
expense to come up after the first of
the year for the benefit OF those who
might not feel able to make an outlay

EARLY MORNING FIRE
 DAMAGES COPE HOME Blaze Starts While Family Is Sleep
 ing Upon the Lawn

While the family of C. NJ. Cope. of 142 West Polk street. were sleep ing upon cots placed upon the lawn of their home, early this morning, Flames of unknown origin were dis covered bursting from the roof near the chimney and from the lattice york covering the entrances to a blind attic. There was every evi- dence that the fire had been smoul- dering for several hours as the in terior of the attic was a seething mass of flames which began to burst from the roof about the time the fire department began arriving in response to a telephoned alarm.
 Despite the lateness of the hour there were many neighbors and oth- CTS also quickly on the ground and these together with the members of the police department removed prac- tically all of the household belong ings and thereby saved them from being drenched by the water which was poured upon and into the building. It was a stubborn fire but after a half hour it was finally sub dued after the roof and part of the upper portion of the house had been considerably damaged.
