Quay Wall Section,

There is in the diagram cross
section OF quay wall to be placed,
upon tbs foundation. The quay wall,
where there is a firm under-support,
and the height is 221a feet, may con-
sist Of a gravity concrete wall 10
feet wide at the base. 4 feet wide at
the top, with slight batter, the oi-
mensions as given varying according
to the locality and the rise Of the

Limiting Factory.

This plan-diagram presupposes that
there is here a width OF about 15o
feet, including the levee. The tracks
Of the railroad company owning the
right of way, limit width extension.
The terminal, If constructed in this
space, must therefore conform to the
land in width but the length can be-
extended in direction parallel to the
river.
City terminals, both for rail and
water transportation, have such q
marked influence on city's growth
that nothing should be left undone to-
ascertain and to secure the best loca-
tions which should be laid out ac-
cording to correct plans and designs
and to profit, in the equipping, by the
experience of others. Th. idea tnat
for a progressive city an unequippeG
pile-wharfs or the levee, is a terminal
asset or will add materially to the
city's welfare by increasing transpor-
tation should not be entertained.
There are too many familiar examples
of its failure along the Mississippi.
Commerc. Terminal.
| 1t is recommended that while
there may be an industrial or local
service-terminal thus placed directly
| in front Of the city, that some other
location, not so limited in space as
this, be selected for through or com
lnerce freight and that hers, when
1 the volume of the freight tonnage OF
the hinterland may warrant it, there
| be planned a large con1plste terminal
with its quay walls, its mechanical
equipment, railway tracks, transfer
and transit sheds, warehouses, dray
areas, classification and storage rail
way yards, industrial section, and
there should be the MOTTO be-omitteu
belt railway which should have spurs
! leading to industrial works and con
nected with the Industrial terminal.
Terminal investments Reimbursed.
i In not a few foreign cities, large
I areas away from the city's center
have been purchased, and that por
ton not needed for the terminal have
been sold or leased for Industrial
(chiefy manufacturing) purposes. al
j, such an advanced price that the ter
minals often requiring an initial in
vestment of millions, finally cost such
cities little or nothing.
Terminal Limitations.
The terminal in the diagram is rep
resented as narrow and warehouses
ana not represented. This omission
10 due 10 the fact as stated, that exist
. ing railroad owned tracks are close
to the levee.

Within the shed and over the open
spaces are located and operated the
fixed and movable overhead tracks,
and the tractor with the carriage
hoists. Upon the land side of the shed
there are dray areas.

The movable tracks as well as the

THE WAR
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
SUMMARIZED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 24.-Special;
There has been no cessation of the
battle in Belgium and northern
France. All the official communica-
tons declare the fighting is of the
~fiercest character and that the British
warships continue to aid the allies on
land with heavy shell fire from their
guns. One report has ii that the
British fleet is being assisted by a
French squadron.
The British admiralty praises the
work of the warships, and reports
great damage to the Germans from
their fire. 1t adds that the naval
losses have been small and hat the
German artillery is having difficulty
in finding the range. The Germans
report, however, that one of the Brit
ish torpedo boat destroyers has been
put out of action by their shells, and
refers optimistically to the progress
of the battle along the whole front.
Evidently the Germans are taking
a strong offensive, but the French of
fetal communication, in referring tc
the violent engagement which ha'
been going on for several days, say
the Germans have not been able
force back either the Belgian arm
or the Franco-British troops.
From Petrograd comes a ~reitera
ton of the official reports that tn
Germans are continuing their hast,
retreat from Warsaw and that de
perate engagements are being tough
in Galicia. Emperor William and til
German headquarters staff have re
treated from Czenstochota, Russian
Poland, into Silesia, according to q
London Daily News dispatch from the
Russian capital.
The earl of Crewe, secretary of
state for India, is authority for the
statement that the Indian troops

continent have not yet been engaged
in the fighting, though their partici-
patton is expected soon.
The Prussian diet has passed war
bills carrying an appropriation aggre-
eating 1915, GOO, 600.
In an address before the Prussian
diet Herr Del Brueck, the imperial
vice chancellor, after declaring that
Germany had been forced into the
war by the hatred and envy of her
neighbors, said that Germany will
not lay aside her arms until she has
| gained a victory that will guarantee
lasting peace"
Large numbers of Germans and
Austrians have been taken from Lon.
don and iterned in the detention
camps, and an echo of the threatened
invasion of the British isles by Yep
| pelin dirigible balloons is found in
the fact that Westminster Abbey has
insured against damage from airship
attack.
A private letter received in Amster-
dam says that Lieut.. Gen. Won Moltke
chief of the German general staff. is
dying.
