SHOULD NOT BE
MADE IN SPRING-WALKER

Manhattan, March Ponds
should not be built in the winter or
spring. H. B. Walker, state drain
age engineer at the agricultural
college gives several reasons why.
Ponds should be made in the sum-
mer or fall, he says. The ground is
naturally loose in the spring, he
points out, and embankments that
have not had time to settle will be
in grave danger of being washed
out by the spring freshets. II en-
are made while there is
frost in the ground there is a.
chance for the water to find a way
through when the frost melts out
Of the embankment in the spring.
A dam made in the summer or
fall usually has much better
chance than the one made in the
'pring or winter The rains that
'ome at that time of year are not
likely to be so dashing as the spring
aims. The soil Is firmer, too, than
is in the spring.

May Withhold Recognition Unless
Benton Affair Clearly Explained
U. s. WAITS ON INVESTIGATION
ConstitutionaIist Cause In the Bal
ance-SatisfactOry ReparatiOn
May Regain Prestige OF
r. CaEranza Forces

Washington, March Although
the American government intends to
suspend any further development OF
its policy toward Mexico until the
commission of Mexican constitutions
alists now investigating the recent
execution OF William s. Benton, a
British subject, has made a report.
"A cabinet meeting here developed a
discussion of the Importance of the
future attitude Of General Carranza
toward the United States.
High officials OF the administra-
ton believe the fortunes OF the con-
stitutionalist movement hang large
" in the balance and that only
clear explanation of the Benton in
cident and satisfactory reparation
will regain for them the prestige
they had acquired as persons de-
string the restoration OF constitu-
tional government in their country.
Should the Benton case remain
unsettled in the event the case of
the constitutionalists is triumphant,
there are strong limitations heard |
in official circles that Great Britain
would refuse to recognize Carranza,
II he were elected. It is also taken
for granted by officials that Great
Britain might influence other Euro
pean nations to withhold recogni-
ion until reparation is made for in
Jury done foreigners.

cent discount on all imports car.
ried by ships of American registry
as provided for in the new tariff
law was granted by the board of
United States general appraisers in
an opinion given by Judge B. S.

impair the treaties with foreign
countries. The act allows a discount
of 5 per cent in, duties ON all mer-
chandise imported in vessels Of
American registry, provided that the
granting of this discount does. not
involve violation of any treaty.

will be taken, will affect four ships
Of the American line from South

the provisions of the Panama canal

After the president has read his
message 1t will be referred to the
house committee on interstate COM

to carry out his recommendations
Although some opposition to the
bill will develop in committee, 1t is
of a favorable report and
an effort will be made to hasten its
consideration in the house.
Many Democrats, including Ma
